RE: My Curation Experiment: Getting a Brand New Account Into the Top 20 Curators List in Under 1 Week.
How do people choose who to follow when curating? Do they just look at the top 20 list on steemwhales?
It depends. Streemian offers a curation trail service, but a curator has to be set up there - which is why I opened an account there this week. If you wanted to follow someone there are 2 things to look out for - 1. the higher on the list the better THEIR results are proven to be, 2. - how many others already follow them? -you can't always know this last one, but you will start to see the results are either good or bad. For example - Biophil is No.1 curator. Has been for a long time. But he is not setup at Streemian and instead offers a paid service (I believe) to follow his bot. So my guess is the list of followers is large - meaning your own return from following him will be diminished.
So when choosing - look at steemwhales for high ranking, and try to find ones with small trail (may take experimenting). My last curation post may also be of help.
Thanks for the reply
What about AutoSteem. Can you pick anyone to follow (eg Biophil)?
Yes, through AutoSteem you can follow anyone. Try it out and see if you are happy with results - but I think you will find there is a lag before your vote is registered, because he has a decent trail already (see point #2 in my previous reply). But it doesn't hurt to experiment with these things and see what result you get.
So the trick is really to find someone on the top 20 list who hasn't got a big following?
To maximise your returns - yes :)
