## SPUD Power ##

That's right, your average spud can be quite electrifying - and today is SPUD 8 day - that's Steem Power Up Day if you missed the memo - 1st day of every new month is dedicated to Powering up any Steem you have, or at least stopping power downs and avoiding transferring Steem out to exchanges - a day to show the value of Steem to you and maybe make a little increase in it's market value.

Today I purchased a little more Steem to power up for #SPUD8

There it is sitting liquid in my wallet

Powering up is just so easy, I would do the full amount but I have to pay some bills in Steem this week.

The greatest challenge we face on Steem blockchain is getting our posts seen, I have always believed the simplest and best value way of doing this is by commenting on the blog posts of others, the more you engage people and interact with them the greater the chance they will visit your own blog and return the favour. Other then spending all my free time commenting on Steem blockchain posts, I also distribute [coffee roasting machines](https://topercoffeeroasters.co.uk/) and also [espresso coffee machines](https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk/pages/espresso-machines) and [roast my own Speciality Coffee Range.](https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk/collections/speciality-roasted-coffee) being one of the premium [coffee suppliers Yorkshire](https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk) including a wide range of [filter coffee sachets](https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk/products/knightsbridge-filter-coffee-sachets-50-x-3pint?variant=31757582282). Finally I have a dedicated website to my [Artisan small batch roasted coffee](https://whiterosecoffeeroasters.co.uk/) featuring roast and post packs and super easy coffee subscriptions
