A minnow is below 5000 SP so you will be one for quite some time unless you invest some outside money or write a few legendary posts that get picked up well. Have fun out there and good luck with future posts!

Your steem power and your voting power.

To rise above minnow status, get more Steem, either through posting, voting, or purchasing. I chose to purchase a large chunk of mine. Now I post more than I buy. I both manually vote and automate my votes depending upon the demands on my time.
