That is a great question!
It can be VERY profitable to lease SBD and then using it for curating or selling votes but in the long run, in order to build a large following, you really need to have created some quality articles yourself.
I do not believe it is one or the other tool, but a continuous application of everything that is available and within your means.
Thank for that intellectual advice. Im still weighing things on how and where to invest in SBD. More success to your post.
Thank you and to yours as well!
Just continue spreading your good views on steemit for it is like a bible for us minnows.
