Delegation of Steem Power: What it is and how it is done

Delegation of steempower is a powerful tool that has a lot of pros that people dont know about.
First and foremost delegation means lending your steempower to someone to use for a period of time. This has a lot of advantages which i will mentiin in this post.
For minnows, delegation can be helpful by buying steempower for a period of time to self upvote your posts, steempower is delegated from these accounts to yours for a period of time. This steempower can be bought from Hive account@minnowbooster or Hive account@blocktrades. A better and more effective way is when a number of minnows come together and delegate their individual steempowers to one account which will give higher value upvotes to their accounts which can be done with the steemconnect tool.
Delegation is an underused tool, and could be really helpful if used properly. Dont for get to upvote and resteem so this can help someone else.
