With [hive power](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-hive-power-hp), we have the option to curate the posts and earn curation rewards but we also have the option to earn delegation rewards if we delegate our hive power to some curation account in the hive platform. We all expect a higher apy on the high-power delegation. If we go with the manual curation then we can earn about 10 to 12% depending upon our pattern of curation. This is not a fixed percentage and will keep fluctuating because there are many parameters upon which the curation reward is based. But if we go with a rough figure then we can consider between 9-12%, which is surely not bad at all. I do manual curation as well as I have delegated my high power so I will explain both parts in this post.

#### My Curation APR

I checked my curation [APR](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-annual-percentage-return-apr) through *https://hivestats.io/@alokkumar121* and currently its 8.61% so its not even 9%. As I said this keeps on fluctuating and sometimes it also reaches near to 10. So if I talk about manual curation then I dont earn huge but this is good enough because I ab able to support many content creators and this also helps me to go throuhg some nice posts. Curation is not just about upvoting the posts but also a way to interact with the content creators and consume their content. People follow different strategies and it helps me to learn and understand new things. I believe that learning is something that we should always keep on doing and with the manual curation, I get the opportunity to explore a lot of content. Every day I feel like I am new to this because I come across content that brings a great learning opportunity to me. While I upvote the post and read it and I also leave comments wherever I feel like it.

#### How to earn 16% APR 

Now there is another that I also follow and this way I earn 16% APY. Please note that this is [APY](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-annual-percentage-yield-apy) and not APR so if you convert it to APR then the percentage will slightly change. You can earn 16% APY on Your HIVE POWER by delegating your HP to @leo.voter and this way you also help the leofinance team to support more onboarding. This is paid out daily and you will get leo tokens daily. Here you will not get hive or hive power instead you will earn Leo tokens. I have delegated 6k hive power to leo.voter and I get approx 20-24 leo tokens daily. Below is the screenshot of my recent received reward and you can also check the same through https://leofinance.io/@alokkumar121/wallet

Needless to say that [leo](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-leo) is a valuable token and I am happy with the daily reward I get through my HP delegation. When the leo token price is low then I get more tokens and this is good for me. I accumulate all these tokens for Leo Power up Day and this way I am able to increase my leo power faster. This is one of the options that are worth considering and if you want to earn more leo tokens then go ahead and delegate. This is a great opportunity to earn more and this is a far better option than any other which is available as of now in the hive ecosystem.

I am a long-term believer in Leofinance and I have a goal with leo power this year. Once I achieve that then I will also move on to the next with an increased amount and I keep on sharing about it from time to time during the LPUD event. I am even on it to accumulate more leo tokens for a bigger power-up. There are many options that you can avail yourself to earn passive income through the hive power delegation but so far this is the best one that pays the higher amount.

***Thank you***
