Make no minstake, it is hard to get started on Steemit. Minnows spend hours working on their first posts, only to get one or two upvotes. It's discouraging.
What's A Minnow To Do?
Until recently, there was not much a Minnow could do. They could try to stick with it and keep working hard, hoping to get discovered by a whale. Some succeeded, most got discouraged and left.
But now, things have changed. Just over 100 days ago, a new community was founded by @scrooger called @qurator.
The purpose of @qurator is to help spread recognition and rewards to members. Joining @qurator is easy, just contact one of the administrators on Discord for an account review, then with a low, one time registration fee of only 2 Steem. Imagine having over 500 fellow Qurites viewing your posts!
What could be better than that?
I'm glad you asked, because @qurator is also an automated upvote bot that will give your post that initial boost to help get it noticed. There is also a voting trail that gives your post even more upvotes from some of the bigger Qurites.
But wait! There's so much more!
As a memeber of @qurator, you also get exclusive access to @qustodian, the private pay4vote bot.
Did I mention the Daily Qurator?
Well every day they publish the Daily Qurator featuring 5 posts from Qurites to help give them exposure. Not only that, but twice a week there are special competitions, Tasty Tuesday and Photo Friday. So if you are in to posting photography or food, you might be featured in one of these publications as well. They are competitions with rewards, but since everyone featured gets additional exposure and rewards, even if you lose, you've already won!
Let's see, what else...
There's so much that @qurator offers, it's hard to remember it all. I've covered the upvote bots, over 500 members, the upvote Trail, the Daily Qurator, the two weekly competitions...oh yes, they have their own Discord Channel and a forum on ChainBB.com to help ease communications between members.
I know, I know, "This is all great", you're thinking, "but I'm just a little Minnow and don't have the 2 Steem to spare". Well you're in luck, because in the Spirit of the Season, @brimax, a really terrific Qurite, has donated some Steem to cover the registration fee for Minnows who have less that 200 Steem Power. Everyone should definitely stop by his blog and give him an upvote or two to say thanks!
This is the third round of covering Minnow registration fees. In Round 1, @gillianpearce and @samve had their registration fees covered. In Round 2, @cryptorg, @aimeeonalimb, @brisby, @camillius, @samve and @daniel555 all took advantage of @brimax's generous offer and joined @qurator for free.
But this offer won't last forever!
For the next day or two, any Minnow with less than 200 Steem Power can still join for free. So hurry and apply before it's too late!
