Steem School Episode 49 - Steem Power Delegations Explained & How to Get Them
A Steem Power Delegation is essentially pure Steem Power given to you by any Steemian. The Steemian who sent it to you decides how long he will give you the Steem Power and he can cancel it at any given point in time.
On the screenshot below you can see 2 values displayed at my Steem Power, the top one is the Steem Power that I own, the bottom Steem Power inside the brackets displays the amount of Steem Power that I have received from someone.
"Influence tokens which give you more control over post payouts and allow you to earn on curation rewards."
"Part of valorforfreedom's STEEM POWER is currently delegated. Delegation is donated for influence or to help new users perform actions on steemit. Your delegation amount can fluctuate."
The Benefits of a Lot of Steem Power
1. A high amount of Steem Power pressures your readers to write more and better comments to get a taste of your juicy upvote power. That is why you see tons of comments on posts with high total payouts.
2. They will also upvote you more because your posts make more money on average now.
3. Your reputation rises faster which is the biggest benefit of it all.
However, the prices for Steem Power are currently not attractive as you buy them with Steem Dollar. That means if Steem Dollars are worth more than Steem than you will get an attractive price.
I got my delegation a couple months ago when the SBD price was $10 and the Steem price was $1. To this day I still say that it will probably belong to the greatest Steemit deals I have ever made.
How to Get A Lot of Steem Power
1. Go to the website called blocktrades.us
2. Sign up at the top right, confirm the e-mail you receive from @blocktrades and login.
3. On the left side "Send" you select Steem or Steem Dollars enter the amount of Steem or Steem Dollars that you want to use for your 90 days of Steem Power pre-order.
4. On the right side "Receive" you select "Steem Power Delegation 90 Days". After you have entered the amount of Steem or Steem Dollars in step 3 and selected "Steem Power Delegation 90 Days" on the right side you should now see how much Steem Power you will get for 90 days.
5. A new field below opens where you have to enter your Steemit username again and hit "Transfer Using Steemconnect". After you have done that you will receive your Steem Power for 90 days.
You can check the progress and transaction details in your Blocktrades account.

Hey man. I wanted to get some steem power but it isn't profitable o bock traders. It isn't profitable on monnowboaster either so that sucks for minnows.
On another note. Could you tell me how to make a dtube thumbnail. I have been trying for a while but the thumbnails I make never ever get uploaded so my videos pretty much suck. Thanks in advance.
All my SteemSchool episodes are listed here: http://www.steemschool.net/episodes/
I wrote multiple guides for all DTube things, you will find a thumbnail guide among those.
thank you man. I will check it out now..
Yo bro. I just went through your dtube guides.. damn I spent all night on youtube trying to learn how to upload a simple thumbnail and didn't learn crap. Thank you. It was a big help.
That deal was really amazing!!! Hopefully, sooner or later we will be able to do another deal like that.
I'll buy some delegation in the summer, when i make Steemit my summer job, the delegation is probably going to help me grow much faster.
No, it will be too expensive, I would recommend to cash out high sums of Steem Dollars or to convert them to Steem power instead of delegations.
To get an attractive delegation price the gap between Steemit and Steem Dollars must be huge.
For example 1 Steem = 1 USD and 1 SBD = 10 USD.
@ValorForFreedom... Thank You for sharing this information, it really is helpful and have been on Steemit for over 9 months.
UpVoted & Following You now.
Well Done... Cheers !!
Thank you, have a nice day.
Thanks for detailed info about this process. As you mentioned in comment, unfortunately, now it is not attractive to buy SP delegation and I lean more towards some upvotes eg. from minnowsupportproject. :)
Buying delegations is currently not attractive.
thanks for this tutorials its really helpfull sir @valorforfreedom
Interesting
I hope to get some Steem delegations someday so I could help the poor in my community
Thanks for the post @valorforfreedom, because you know that I had doubts on that topic.
Delegation power is in brackets. How long it will be there?
And what about the future of the power which is not in brackets? Is it stay forever if we don't transfer that?
Read the whole article.
I did read it. What I understood is
-> Delegation power can be cancelled at any given point.
-> We can buy it like SP delegation for 90 days options via blocktrades.
-> I think we cannot buy Steem Power that is above brackets value. Right? This is our own and stable, but we can earn from our work only, cannot buy.
Did I understand right?
I will stop answering your question till you have written 30 posts in 30 days.
You need to apply what you are learning and you are not doing that.
I will strictly ignore you from now on.
Come back when you have done what I told you.
Okay. But today I tried more than 4 times to publish video in dTube. Is it my fault?
Help for this one, then I will comeback to your posts only when I reached 30 posts in my blog.
Sorry. I successfully uploaded video in DTube. Yes, I will come back only after I post at least 30 posts with a factor of posting at least 1 post a day.
Thank you for your caring for my success. I know you want me get success. Thanks. Will meet again soon.
Thank you for that @valorforfreedom. I needed that my sir..
Good post
