Don’t look later, look at this right now, ASAP!

You don’t want to miss out on engaging with some awesome Steemians and encouraging them before their post pays out! We all love it when someone takes the time to not only stop by our blog and read our posts but actually engage. As a fellow plankton, I know and love this feeling. It’s super disheartening when you put hours of effort in, for a post to get lost at sea never to be found again.

Curation

I know there are some amazing curation teams out there and we are not by any means trying to step on any toes but with over 250,000 posts a day I am sure there is room for an additional team. With this in mind, I would like to introduce to “READ ME A.S.A.P” the mini curation project, designed to showcase undervalued Steemit and other Steem platform users.

What makes this different?

We are going to use @steem-plus to profit share* directly with our curation selections. For this reason the selections will be limited to three each “READ ME A.S.A.P” issue, each writer receiving 10% of the SteemPower, for transparency the author of this curation post will receive 50%, 15% stays with the @asapers, the remaining 5% automatically go’s to @steem-plus to further develop that tool for our use.

_{*We are testing this so bear with us for the first few weeks while we iron out any kinks.
To find out more about @steem-plus click HERE, it’s so much more than profit sharing including the added bonus of a voting slider for those of us on Steemit and under 500SP}

READ ME A.S.A.P is the first project brought to you by the @aspers.

Who are the @asapers?

We are a newly created team of six that have been handpicked by @hitmeasap for his inaugural delegation “experiment”. A small yet substantial delegation in the eyes of the six chosen. I can’t say why he choose us, other than he has confidence in our efforts to date and faith in our ability to continue growing into the future. As for why he is doing it…

An attempt to "pay it forward" and in a way of saying thank you and show my appreciation towards @fulltimegeek and his awesomeness. @hitmeasap Source
As for the six, we are a varied bunch, just the way I like it. We consist of in no particular order, myself @insideoutlet, my hubby @shai-hulud, @wdougwatson, @braxton101, @frankabelle and @yogajill. We may put up an introduce yourself post in the near future but feel free to check out these awesome steemians at any time by simply CLICKINGon their name.

What else does the @asapers have to offer you?

Great question! What else do you want? Below are some ideas we have in the works but would love some additional ideas, feel free to comment away!

Contests

We are looking for CONTEST IDEAS, what do you like to participate in, what do you think there isn’t enough of? What type of prizes would you like to see?

Additional curation

An #introduceyourself curation post up and happening with any luck in conjunction with @gogogadgetupvote's “Daily "Introduceyourself Post" Bounty” in the near future
_{Just putting it out there @gogogadget}

Post promotion

We will also be setting up a #post-promotion channel on Discord for newbies to share quality posts in Discord, there will be rules and we hope to emulate the fantastic culture @thesteemengine has created around fellow post support rather than dump and run. If you haven’t joined them yet, I suggest you check them out, they are a great team!

Now for the promised goods:

This week they were all chosen from our awesome followers who blindly hit the follow button with the knowledge that we would be worth it!

Pancake Day - What is Shrove Tuesday? by @dan21050

Shrove Tuesday is the day before Valentine's day, did you know that? I didn't but I do now, but who really needs a reason to eat pancakes. Interesting to see how it all came about.

There is still 6 days until PAYOUT. Drooling yet I'm sure @dan21050 would be willing to share for an upvote.

Neuro-Marketing for the Homeless - Advertising for Compassion by @seaslim

*"Begging Sucks, Having Compassion Doesn't"* What a powerful thought. This sign sparked something in @seaslim, what if a more powerful sign could help the homeless raise not only more funds for themselves but more awareness for their cause.

There is still 6 days until PAYOUT. Good purpose, how about a vote?

My Life as a Doctor in a Developing Country! by @frankabelle

This steemian is a mum of two with a bub on the way and a doctor in a developing country, talk about having your hands full. The struggles you had too and still endure daily to help yourself and others is admirable.

Keep on steeming on!

There is still 7 days until PAYOUT. Some voting power to share?Did you know she uses her steemit funds to aid patients that can't afford treatment? Want to upvote now?

Thanks for reading now to help a plankton out and upvote!
