Quinn's Quality Content Curation ~(~Q2C2~)~ Episode 4steemCreated with Sketch.

in #community7 years ago

Greetings!

Great to be back on Steemit after an epic weekend. As usual, my weekend was awesome but actually MORE busy than my weekdays even. I may take one day off a month, but I am not complaining as my purpose is my passion and if I want something done then I gotta do it. As I write this, I think of a post I featured in my last episode about the importance of taking breaks. I still believe in this and do make sure to get some kind of rest when I really need it, although I have gotten very good at being on the ball for very long periods of time on end. 

Because I was so busy all weekend, I have spent all day going through a whole weekend of posts and am not yet caught up, but I do have a handful of Quality Posts to curate and bring some exposure and recognition to 6 to be exact.  

You can check out my previous ~(~Q2C2~)~ here: Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3

So here we go with ~(~Q2C2~)~ Episode 4!



First up is a post from 5 days ago, but I want to feature it as it's another really good post for beginners. I get so many noobs commenting on my content that I feel it's really valuable to be sharing quality "learn to use Steemit" posts on a regular basis, especially when they were written from different authors. Each author has a slightly different take, and it also gets some exposure for different authors who are making helpful posts. 

This one is composed by @dragosroua and the title is "How To Make It On Steemit - The 7 Steps Formula Nobody Told You About (Proven Strategy, This Really Works!)"

This post is worth reading because:

  1. It is very simple and straight to the point on basics of general Steemit success.
  2. Written by a long time Steemian who had to work hard to get where he is. 
  3. Very logical, practical, and agreeable. 
  4. Short and easy to get through; even if you don't learn something "new" it is clear, simple confirmation. 

Check it out!


Next up we have another post concerning Steemit behavior on a topic that seems to be getting a lot of debate: "self comment uprooting". I actually want to write my own whole post on this topic because I feel I have a very educated and balanced conclusion on the matter. I feel it's important to at least read and observe these posts and discussions even if you don't take a side or comment. Being successful on Steemit has a lot to do with understanding the social temperature.

This post is written by @aggroed and is titled "Autovorotic Asphyxiation- The MEGA CIRCLE JERK is choking-out itself through the rewards pool" 

This post is worth reading because:

  1. This is a very hot topic of debate/argument right now.
  2. Its authored by a very involved and influential Steemian. 
  3. There is quite a bit of info on top of the perspective.
  4. There is a fair amount of involvement in comments etc. 
  5. A post that tells a lot about the social temperature of Steemit right now. 

Check it out!


Next up is one of the most awesome posts I have seen on Steemit. It is a MUST see and is created by @everlove, one of the most loving Steemians we have here. It is titled "FINALE MILESTONE - "REFLECTIONS OF A BLESSING" - A Collaborative Art Journey No. 23 - We've created over 400 images!!!!"

This really is a MUST read, and here's why:

  1. @everlove has been doing these collaborative art posts for a long time now. 
  2. She has inspired literally HUNDREDS of new art pieces EXCLUSIVE for Steemit!
  3. She did this with inspiration and NO REWARDS. 
  4. She has replied to thousands of comments and connected so many Steemians together. 
  5. If you read the comments on these posts going back months you will see more love and creativity than you have ever seen on any posts. Truly amazing. 
  6. @everlove really is a must follow as her posts are consistently as valuable and original as you will find anywhere. 

CHECK IT OUT!


Next up we have another post helping more people get to SteemFest! It is made by @vcelier, and it is titled "Do you Want to go to SteemFest2 in Lisbon? Tell us why and I might Help You with 500 STEEMs"

This is worth checking out because:

  1. SteemFest is really good for the success of Steemit.
  2. If you don't know about SteemFest, it was epic last year and will be epic this year. 
  3. Its so awesome to see Steemians helping each other and to see REAL ways that this $Steem economy can change people's lives for REAL.
  4. There are a lot of really great comments from people and the results/cause is very worth supporting. 
  5. It feels good to see people excited and inspired. 

Check it out!


Next up is another post that is really great for the expansion and success of the Steemit community as a whole. It is created by @soundlegion and is titled "OFFICIAL!! Steemit Artist Music Compilation Volume 1 Release is here!! 51 Multi Genre Original Songs from 55 Music Artists on Steemit!!"

This post is worth reading because:

  1. This project supports musicians; we all know how hard it is to make it as a musician. 
  2. This project has a lot of potential to attract a lot of new musicians and music lovers. 
  3. This project is really beneficial to the expansion and success of the WHOLE of Steemit. 
  4. This is a project that is worth supporting and many may find very enjoyable. 

Check it out!


Last I have another post of which is really helping with the over all success of Steemit. Its actually somewhat similar to what I am doing but instead of having to read hundreds of articles he looks through hundreds of photos. It is done by @phot0-trail and is titled "Daily Photo Selection 📷 July 14th 2017"

This post is worth checking out because:

  1. If you're a photographer, it's a great way to meet new photographers and also maybe get extra exposure through a feature. 
  2. If you're not a photographer, it's a 1 stop post to see a lot of the best photos on Steemit that day!
  3. It's another great initiative that is helping bring Steemians together and also getting support for Steemians who have great potential but don't yet have the following. 
  4. This project is worth supporting even if not looking through all the photos or being a photo fanatic. 

Check it out!


Ok thats all for Episode 4! I still have 25-50 posts I am going through to make another episode. If I have time I may make another episode today as I missed two days because I was so busy with projects and only got 2 hours of sleep over the course of 2 nights. 

I hope you found a post that was really valuable to you or found a new author that is worth your follow. 

As always I welcome your feedback and appreciate your support!

SteemON!

taking breaks is a must for everyone on steemit... you can't burn yourself out and as addicting as it is to keep wanting to post. The world is still spinning and our families, friends even our little ones... want to spend time with us as well.

Thanks for posting this.. I'm going to give these post you listed, some "me" time in a bit.

I agree~

WOW! Great post choices, no surprise!!! I'm stoked and honored to be mentioned here. It is true we have made about 407+ pieces of art together exclusive for Steemit--and engaged 83 ArtiSTeemians as well. I'm super excited to see where this goes--we're even going to make a musical album featuring the beats of @verbal-d. Thank you, thank you for including me.
The other posts are also of great value to engage. The winner of Steem for Steemfest 2 will be priceless. I know the perfect match for this epic event will win that opportunity.

Ahhh--I also love the top photo pics! I love photography and am grateful to see it highlighted. The arts are bringing great value to Steemit. Thanks for making a showing of it.

I love love love your pics and this project. Keep it coming @quinneaker.

When I started looking through all the time, attention, creativity that has gone into this project over many months. The relationships made, beautiful art inspired and shared. Its just such a beautiful thing that all of that is being shared by Steeminas on Steemit.
You have held space and nurtured into being a beautiful thing. I am thankful it is here on the blockchain for everyone to share. We are blessed to have such spirit and creativity thriving here~*~

I love how well supported this initiative has become. When we first started, my posts were literally getting cents. And gratefully, passion is driving this opportunity and therefore is not dependent on the price of Steem to be a success in building community. I would love to see Steemit HQ one day have their walls filled with these works. For now, I'm incredibly grateful they're on the blockchain for ever. We have a really kick-ass gallery of inspired works, and continuing to grow. Thanks for immersing yourself in the beauty.

May it be so!

you get full love and a resteem from me! I am very pleased to see others finding the value of the talent and supporting it here on steemit. Some of these artists have there hearts and souls on a track and its wonderful to have a community like this to appreciate and encourage such gifts.
you my friend I am crushin on this hippy jesus look with planet behind you. ;) You are all sorts of great energy. big love

Awesome!
It sure is awesome. To be together on this platform creating the kind of community we want to see, meeting people, sharing, and even being compensated to some degree. It just keeps getting better and better. I am grateful to have connected with you and to help support a project with so much soul!
Hope to share more soon.
SteemON!

Thanks to you, I now know epic peeps I must check out! :D @quinneaker

Upvoted & RESTEEMED!

I appreciate the support!
SteemON!

Thanks, I think the tips for new steemians will be very useful

Yes they are and its the noobs who need the most help!
That is why I am helping them every day be more successful here on Steemit!

Very nice! I especially love how you give 'pros' to read every piece instead of just easy linking. Going to follow you for more cause I'm kinda getting over searching through the load of garbage content out here before I find something good

Yes, there are LOTS of posts and most of them are not that good.
I appreciate the support and hope to continue to share content of real value!
SteemON!

This is great. I think it's a good idea. Could even take it a step further and curate content based on themes. Then, give your blog post a title that centers around the theme of the articles you currated for the post. 👍

Yea....was thinking about that. Though it would either create a LOT of extra work to hit so many themes in one day or I would have to skip over posts that I want people to see and wait until I get enough in that category.
Its a good idea but the execution is more difficult. I will consider how it may work out and see.
SteemON!

Follow you @quinneaker, upvoted & resteemed.

I am happy to have found this project and help bring attention and participation to it. Keep up the good work!
SteemON!

Ayyy I love what you are doing. We are doing a similar mission helping under appreciated authors at @ocd if you are interested

I will check it out. Thanks for the comment!

You're welcome buddy. We are all on the same team trying to make this Steemit community an epic place. Keep doing great things :)

I totally agree!
Together we can make Steemit even more awesome!

Heck yeah buddy, the future looks bright
