The biggest problem most people who are new to Steemit encounter is how to get started.
How do I get people to notice my post?
It's a question we have all had to deal with when first starting on Steemit. There are a lot of bad answers to that question.
Spam links to your post in the comment section - BAD!
Spend money on a resteem service - BAD!
Spam comments offering an upvote for an upvote -BAD!
Post and post and post some more, hoping someone will eventually notice you - FRUSTRATING!
Spam comments offering a follow for a follow -BAD!
All bad or frustrating ideas. So, what's a minnow to do? Until recently there was no good answer. But now there is a GREAT answer.
Join @qurator!
@qurator is a community of over 400 Steemians designed to help new users get started on Steemit. For just a 2 Steem registration fee you get instant exposure and upvotes from @qurator members and support bots.
Sounds great, but I'm a minnow and can't afford 2 Steem!
That's OK. @qurator is all about members helping members and in the spirit of giving this Christmas season, @brimax has donated some Steem to cover the cost of joining @qurator for any minnow who has less than 100 Steem Power. Everyone should drop by @brimax's blog and give him an upvote or two to say thank you for his generous help.
Awesome! Thanks @brimax! How do I get started in @qurator?
Well, as it says in the logo, @qurator is about quality content. To ensure this, you have to contact a @qurator representative for approval. It's a quick and simple process detailed in this post.
Is @qurator really worth the effort?
Absolutely! Even if you've been on Steemit for a while now and don't qualify for the free registration fee, you can still get a lot of benefit from joining @qurator.
In addition to every member getting a tiered upvote for their first post every day, there is the Daily Qurator publication featuring five members posts.
There is also the Qurator Trail which gives you even more upvotes and earnings for your posts from some of the members both large and small. We also have a discord channel you are free to join.
Another great feature is the @qustodian bot which is a private pay for upvote bot.
There are also two weekly photography and food competitions that get you even more exposure to your posts. And the more you choose to participate in the community, the bigger your tiered upvote will be. Below is the current tier settings, showing what you need to do to move up the ladder.
Hopefully, I've given you a good look into some of the ways @qurator can help you get started and be more successful on Steemit. For more information on the benefits, check out the latest edition of the Daily Qurator
