Right now is slow season for art - and other social networks just don't reach people much anymore. If I didn't cash out some of my earnings, I'd need to get a job, and have less time for Steemit, and to tell people about Steemit and to grow my following on Steemit so that in the future I'll be more of a part of this community than if I got a job, but saved my relatively small amount of Steem. That being said - I should start accepting SBD and Steem for my art. Hopefully I'll end up being able to save what I earn from posts,and keep my biz and bills paid from people investing in my work. So far Steemit's been awesome and as things pick up, I for sure plan to power up more :)
