Good question.

I played with the numbers of getting a paid delegation from Minnowbooster and was unable to come up with anything that was profitable enough to be worth my time and financial investment.

I supposed I could start the "slow" way and just put up 10x posts a day anyway. Probably would be worth it in the long run. Who knows, maybe I'll still do it. But to spend all that time editing/connecting with writers for a questionable payoff in the future is not really appealing, even with all the benefits that would come from being a content factory.

I actually never thought about just doing it without either buying Steem or leasing a delegation until just now. Let me mull it over. We'll see.
