Will do.. it's actually already in the works. Just want to get a little more data first. But it's looking like about 35% APR or higher which is similar (or more) than other upvote bots.. and higher than typical MinnowBooster delegation leases. 😀

Welcome back Brandon after 6 days.
I think delegation is one of the best ways to earn some passive income on the Steemit network. Aside from this, Leasing SP is another beneficial way to become more influential on the Steem blockchain.
@smartsteem and @minnowbooster provide great services to the users and one of the services is delegation. I like the service of @smartsteem because they provide a tool to calculate revenue means How much a delegator will earn with the certain amount of delegation and I think that's great!

I actually don't think that the blockchain would allow you to completely power down your account to zero. It would save some SP for bandwidth.

It has been a great experience to delegate and see passive income coming in on a daily basis. I feel it diversifies my stream of income a relatively new user on the platform that has not created a big following yet. Some days, I get more from the delegation than my own rewards! I am striving for that to change soon though!

There sure are a lot of strategies that can be used to earn on the steem blockchain and the steemit platform.
I'll try delegating down the road but right now I still need to build my account up a bit first. Even the minimum delegation of 50 would cripple my own account.

Thanks for the suggestion, @silentkiller. I've actually decided to use Blocktrades for delegation for my bot. They have the cheapest prices and it's no hassle.. just purchase the delegation and receive it immediately. :)

It can be a minimum of 20 minutes and a maximum of 3.5 days. And you can place a bid for an upvote immediately after publishing your post as long as the bot doesn't upvote within the next 20 minutes. You can always check https://www.steembottracker.com just to make sure.

It's kinda neat to see your train of thought on what you are doing with the bot. I just wish I had more SP to delegate out -to the bot and to others on the Steem platforms. I will probably get into Minnowboooster eventually once I have the power to spare for investing.

When you were mentioning steem power delegation for new users, it got me thinking, what happens if the new user is not active? Does that delegation just stay in the “dead” account or after a time does the account close and the delegation move to another new user?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Great question. To my knowledge, Steemit Inc. never would recoup the money. It would just stay in the dead account. I know of people who have been inactive for a long time and then come back and there account is still here. But I'm not 100% sure on that.

Hi @brandonfrye I have been looking for something to put my steem power into. today after watching your video I decided to put my steem into your bot. If you look in the transaction histroy you will see that I am there 450 steem :)
I have been looking into bots for a while but you have made me confident enough to give you nearly 90% of my steem power just by watching your video.
you seem like a nice chap, you knew what you were saying and I think this could be a good choice for my self as like you said it is a passive income.
thank you for taking the time to make this post and giving me confidence in your bot.
If it was not for this video I think I would still have my steem power sat in my account doing nothing.
cheers once again

Hey @artonmysleeve, I'm glad that this video helped to clarify how delegation works and the best way to delegate. I truly do believe that delegating to an upvote bot is the best way to earn passive SBD and Steem here on Steemit.. and I'm glad to hear that you chose my bot!
I look forward to sending you daily earnings which will begin tomorrow at 12 noon MST. If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. 🥂

Daily earning as of tomorrow that is super cool, really didn't think it would be that quick.
If i had more sp I would have delegated more but what i have given you is what i have made from steemit.
with everything going on i'm my life right now I have been a little busy to post as often on steemit as i was doing.
I get how bots work as I have used them, I am looking forward to building my sp sbd with you and thank you for replying back to me.

Excellent, I’d definitely appreciate your support and would love to provide you with a great investment opportunity. I’m seeing around a 35% APR or higher with my bot which is quite a bit higher than you would typically get from a MB delegation. In the next few days I’ll put out some hard numbers from our current investors. Be on the look out for that.
