I'm referring to the post you resteemed, "Why Powering Up Is The Secret To Your Steemit Success: It Is Imperative!!!”
When you create a new post there's a box at the bottom that says Reward: Default 50%/50%. You can change that to Power Up 100%. It means you'll earn all Steemit Power rather than Steemit Power and SBD.

As for the article, I thought the term "powering up" was about the process of converting your sbd/steem into steem power. I wasn't aware the term also refers to the reward thing!

On that note though, I didn't understand that, so thank you. Currently I have just been converting all rewarded sdb into steemit power. I guess my only question on that note is this; is there a difference in return?

I have no idea which way is better. I've done it both ways. I keep saying I'm going to research it. But I haven't.

There is, there are articles to explain it more deeply, but since the SBD is worth more than the 1 USD amount it was originally supposed to be, so right now getting 50/50 and then converting to SP on the internal market will fetch you a larger reward to invest back to the platform.

That's what I'm starting to figure out, especially with the exchange down to .7 now.
