Post Curated: Una Historia En Bajada

It is an amazing thing when someone can open up and share their experiences and lives with one another. This happens sometimes on other social media but it is different completely on SteemIt. Then comes @Fivefiveeleven with an amazing piece about how he found his love of speed and adrenaline skating and the progression of this. He shares the locations and images of an amazing feeling and emotion that he feels during this sport. When someone can reach deep down in their soul and pull out a story of passion and of love for something and share it with the world. Consider reading this article, it really deserves you attention. He wrote it in Spanish but if you cannot understand that you may be able to use Google or another translator. The twist at the end may not be of a death or huge event but it definitely is worth the read.

Post Curated: Understanding Social Media and SteemIt

There is one thing many people will find if they look on SteemIt, and that is advice on how to make it big on this particular platform. The advice is usually pretty similar and leans toward good solid comments or on how to build a sold following. This post though has a little different advice and I found it very interesting. Some may agree or disagree about the quality of advice or whether it would work. But for me it seems pretty sound in logic. Without giving you everything he says because it is very short I'll tell you that the key behind his advice is connecting with the followers that you would expect to read your content. Maybe one should focus on getting people to read your music posts that actually like music. Makes Sense! So check it out and maybe you can implement a thing or two.

Post Curated: My Bullying Story | Storytime

So this post fell in to my lap. I started to read and PAUSE. OMG I honestly didn't want to continue. Why? Because it is really hard hearing stories about hardships for people and how you cannot do anything in your power to stop it. I know it isn't just me who feels this way. So ultimately that is why this one was amazing. Added onto that you have a short post with some amazing information and heart jerking video that takes the breath away. There is not much more to say about this one but please consider supporting this guy. Give him your warmest regards and show him that SteemIt support. He deserves it for sure for opening up.

Post Curated: My SteemIt Business Cards for Offline Promotion

So we all know the importance of advertising on SteemIt to get our posts read my the masses, right? What about going out side the box, or web browser, and spreading the word about you articles to the world with Business Cards? Not only would you be getting some attention to your blog but driving traffic to SteemIt and Steem/SBD as well. @tunnelrat did just this and wrote an article on the benefits and how you could to increase your traffic in a new way. "Ordering business cards is a low-cost way to increase local exposure and promote Steemit. Just upload a Steemit logo to a printing company like Vista Print and add your details." I love his suggestions to where to leave the cards. It may just be an epic plan. We will have to watch and see. Ohh and he does tutorials on Gimp and Web Development..... I have found my new best friend.
