Yes I've checked wallets, but I want to really understand the strategies that strong steemians use, so, I'll make sure to check on your content. Thanks!

There are many strategies to power up. Writing great content is free but nowadays the price of Steem is such that payouts contain 6 times less SP than the number of SBD. There used to be a time when SP payout was more than SBD payout (SBD and Steem were below $1 and Steem was cheaper).

But that time is gone. I am posting a complete guide on MinnowBooster today which contains a good detail on how to lease SP and increase your SP via the leased one.

If you ever find Steem near $1 to $2 mark again, power up tons of it.
