This is a repost for all those new accounts.
I can tell you from my personal experience that leasing STEEMPOWER is the best thing you can do when you are new here...
I myself am very new here as today is only day 124 that this account exists... And I have been leasing STEEMPOWER from day 12 on, continuously growing and also growing the amount of STEEMPOWER leased.
Some people have done the math and I don't argue with them, because I cannot prove them wrong.
They say Steem leasing has a negative ROI, which I don't agree with from my personal experience. I've experienced faster growth, more upvotes and so on and so forth. It has never failed me. And I will continue to lease more and more SP as long as minnowbooster or a similar service exists...
If you have more STEEMPOWER you have so many advantages that just outweigh the supposedly negative ROI (don't just look at the math behind it).
From leasing STEEMPOWER you will get:
- more rewards through curation (pls check out a post on how to do it right, because most people do it wrong)
- more visibility in the hot tab
- more people following you if you upvote their content/comments with big upvotes
- thankful and recurring followers who constantly upvote your content (this one point alone makes it profitable)
- more followers due to higher upvoted content
- more power to upvote good content, that you like
- more power to give back to your most valueable contributors and friends
- you can push your own rep with bigger selfupvotes of your posts
- you can flag scammers better with a higher amount of SP
If you are just a curator with no own content I agree that it might not be profitable, but if you are a blogger with a solid following it will catapult you to new levels. It is reaping what you sowed. I love it and I will continue to lease more STEEMPOWER every month.
My account might grow a bit slower doing this, but in the long run it will pay out tenfold. I am in it for the long run. I see STEEM at 6 $ in 2018 easily. So I don't have my focus on making as much STEEM as possible in the shortest time possible.
I would rather have now just a few coins and later huge amounts of coins when STEEM is more valuable than it is now.
And with the price of STEEM increasing, the voting power of your contributors rises also. It's a classic WIN-WIN situation.
