Do NOT Power Up Your STEEM to SP!!! Minnow Tip for the STEEM Blockchain

As a tiny fish, new to the STEEM Blockchain, you need your STEEM for other things right now. Do not power it up!

Instead, here are my top tips of steps you can take to grow your blog and SP:

• Send STEEM to Hive account@scrooger and @olegXXX each week
• Lease Delegated SP
• Join Hive account@qurator
• Buy Hive account@steembasicincome shares
• Buy Hive account@minnowbooster shares

NOTE ONE: Everything I am advising in this post is with the assumption you are posting at least one post on the STEEM Blockchain per day. If you are not doing that, try:

• Freewriting with Hive account@mariannewest – a daily 5 minute writing prompt
• 30 day black and white challenge.
• Hive account@actifit
• contest and challenge posts

If you are small and cannot post daily, your chance of success here is very small. Your goal should be 2-3 posts. No less than one and no more than four.

Additionally, do not go for the 100% power up. You need this STEEM money available now to succeed.

NOTE TWO: There are people here who will help you in the beginning by delegating SP to you for free. Start by visiting Hive account@thedarkhorse and present your case to him.

So with the assumptions:

• you are posting good content daily
• you are taking rewards at 50/50

Here is what to do with your STEEM. These tips are in the order you should take these actions.

Send STEEM to Hive account@scrooger and Hive account@oleg326756 each week

Both of them will give you votes. Do this each Monday when their weekly posts come out.

• 0.001 to scrooger through the Hive account@feedyourminnows account OR Send 0.01 for more benefit. Upvote the Hive account@scrooger post.
  Now you will get one vote each day from Hive account@feedyourminnows

• 0.05 to @olegXXX and vote and resteem
  Now you will get two votes a day from Hive account@oleg326756

Read their rules and do as they say and the votes will come in.

Bonus on Hive account@scrooger

Find the funniest gif each week on the theme of the week and you will get 100% upvotes for the next week.

Tip for voting

Put both of these nice guys on your Hive account@steemdunk free autovoter for 100% at 12-14 minutes. Why?

• You need to vote their posts anyway.
• Neither posts much otherwise, so you will not drain your power.
• You will start getting curation rewards soon as your SP grows.
• If you vote later with your tiny SP – you will never get curation rewards.

NOTE: Also add Hive account@steemdunk itself to your Hive account@steemdunk autovoter and they will vote for you every so often.

Lease delegated SP

Why should you lease delegated SP instead of powering up directly?

• If you power up tiny SP on a tiny account, you will see almost no benefit.
• If you take that same STEEM and lease delegated SP with it, you get a much bigger bang for your STEEM buck.
• Once you have a larger SP with delegation You actual SP will grow exponentially faster than without it.

The only one who will delegate to you when you are new is Hive account@blocktrades. All delegations are for 90 days. Currently this is the rate:

• 2 STEEM gives you 14.143 SP (minimum lease amount)
• 3 STEEM gives you 28.286 SP
• 4 STEEM gives you 56.576 SP
• 5 STEEM gives you 70.719 SP
• 6 STEEM gives you 84.866 SP
• 7 STEEM gives you 99.009 SP

As soon as you get 2 SP, go to
https://blocktrades.us/
and set up a lease with it.
and again,
and again.

I recommend setting up an account with them so that you can see and track what you have done with them.

Once you have 100 total sp, you can hold off and lease 100 at a time instead.

Once you have a few weeks of good consistent posting going on, you can try using Hive account@minnowbooster to lease delegated sp instead of Hive account@blocktrades.

It is cheaper but actual people have to make the decision to lease to you. This is a crapshoot, but you might get lucky. I will not cover the details of using Hive account@minnowbooster in this post.

Join Qurator for 4 STEEM

As soon as you have a few weeks of good posts and 4 STEEM – join Hive account@qurator and take advantage of everything they have going on. You will get a good daily vote and a lot of other good benefits. I have already posted about Hive account@qurator details here:

Qurator Tips and Tricks

Make it a goal to get in there. Once you do get in - add them to your steemdunk autovoter for bigger votes.

Buy SBI shares

Hive account@steembasicincome is a program on STEEM that gives you an upvote for life on every post you make. If you only have one share, it is a small upvote and does not come on each post, but as you accumulate more shares, the upvote will grow. Check out the Hive account@steembasicincome account for more information.

You can also win shares in the the MANY contests giving them out. I am always on the hunt for more SBI and you should be too.

Add Hive account@steembasicincome to your autovoter as well for bigger votes.

Buy Hive account@minnowbooster shares

Hive account@minnowbooster is a program that gives good upvotes to your posts similar to SBI. Go over to the blog and see if they are selling shares and get in if you can.

This is another place with lifetime upvotes that start small and grow as you get more shares. They very actively support new accounts, so try to get there asap.

There are other things you can do with your STEEM, but these are the first few to get you started.

I have no STEEM!

When you are new, getting good votes on your posts is not easy. But there are many streategies for new accounts to succeed here. I have many of these in this post:
