RE: How a minnow can become a dolphin for a week by leasing steem power - How to lease steem power
I work heavily with contests and the idea of leasing enough SP to become a dolphin for a week is a very good one for when I plan to host a contest of my own. I hadn't thought of the benefits, but yes I can see how it would be much easier to attract others to the contest and then hold onto them as long-term followers.
Holding contests worked for me. A few weeks ago, I had 960 followers. Then I ran 3 contests with nice prizes. Now I have 1700 followers. Of course it costs alot of money to give away contest prizes, but it definitely attracted many followers. There are many stories like this on steemit.
