I was advised by 
I hope you will all rectify it in your subsequent writings.
I was taught how to use a few front-end functions by
I will briefly describe the Leo Finance community for the benefit of those who may not be familiar with it or who may not know much about it.
About Leo Finance
Leo Finance is a social network built on the Hive blockchain where members are compensated for creating and engaging with financial and crypto information. The platform's usage token is called LEO token, which can be staked to convert into LEO power to generate earnings by either publishing a post, voting on the post, commenting on the post, or delegating your LEO power to others.
The official front-end is https://Leofinance.io
What Is The LEO Token And Its Staking Feature?
We now know what the Leo finance community is, so now we just need to look into the Leo token, how it can be staked, and the benefits of staking.
LEO TOKEN: Leo token is a Layer 2 Token of the Leofinance Community which has a decentralized trading process.
This serves as the reward for creating content related to cryptocurrency and finance. Also serves as a reward for engaging in other authors' content In the Leo finance community, by using the Leo finance frontend.
Microblogging on Leo threads is another way to earn Leo tokens.
You can also purchase Leo tokens at https://leodex.io

Leo Staking Features
Staking Leo is thought to grant your Leo token power, enabling users to curate content and also earn from the curation. If you don't stake your Leo token, you won't have any power in the community, and we all know that power is the capacity to have Influenced in a community.
As a result, Leo staking is also known as "Leo Power-up." The 15th of every month is designated as Leo Power Up's official day, and it's a great celebration in the community.
Many content creators used to stake their Leo Tokens to gain more influence in the community.
The next Leo power-up day is in 5 days, and you can also take part in successive staking. If you don't have any Leo token, remember to buy some at https://leodex.io as I mentioned earlier.
You can also delegate Leo's power to other content creators, and at the end of the post-payout, the curator and the content creator will split the rewards 50/50.
Leo stakes can be removed, but doing so is not advised because doing so would be the equivalent of losing power and would make you less influential in society.
The benefits of curating will no longer be available to you.
The process of unstaking is 28 days and it takes for transactions to unstake completely. So you won't be getting your token in one transaction.

Best strategies to increase the number of My LEO tokens
Engagement
I have earned a small amount of Leo tokens as a newbie by engaging in other authors' content using the Leo finance front end. I intend to increase my community engagement level to receive more tokens.
I will also up vote the contents of other authors.
Content Creation in the community
My Leo token balance will rise as a result of posting high-quality content to the Leo community. Good content attracts curators who will curate it, and other authors will up vote it. As long as I continue to consistently create content on the community frontend, my Leo tokens will grow.
Leo power up participation
This comes up on every 15th of every month, I will participate in the next Leo Power up day and that will be my first participation because I'm still a newbie in the community. I can buy more Leo at leodex to increase my power.
Remember The more Leo you power up, the more influence you will have in the community.
Delegation Of Hive power To @Leo.voter
I will make sure I delegate some Hive Power to @Leo.voter to be receiving daily Leo tokens in my wallet.
Participating In Writing Contest
I have been given some Leo tokens before I started using Leo finance frontend, that was my first two weeks on Hive. I participated in a contest hosted by Hive Naija weekend Engagement.
This article is also another writing contest by 
The Effects Of Being Active To Increase LEO Token
Being active is crucial, this can be accomplished in the Leo community by blogging, posting threads on the Leo finance frontend, up voting other authors' content, and commenting on their posts.
Maintaining this level of activity can draw some major curators and you might get some delegation in return.
Your Leo tokens will rise as a result, and the community will take notice of you.
Strong and Weak sides of LEO staking strategies
The benefit of staking Leo is that by being active in the community, you will earn more Leo tokens, and you can use these tokens to take part in the Leo power-up.
The higher your stake, the higher the rewards. When you have a high stake Leo, you earn more while you curate or delegate power to other creators.
The Weak Side Of Leo Staking: Even though the payment is little, last month I intended to take part in the Leo power-up day but I was short on Leo and was unable to do so. I am aware that some newbies are struggling with these issues, but we will overcome them in due time.
Suggestions For Leo Finance Team
I feel the Leo finance team should put more effort towards increasing payouts, up voting everyone who participated in Leo Power Up Day, and increasing delegation to Leo Staking Participants.
