EXTRA EXTRA, READ ME A.S.A.P! Issue #12
Don’t look later, look at this right now, ASAP!
You don’t want to miss out on engaging with some awesome Steemians and encouraging them before their post pays out! We all love it when someone takes the time to not only stop by our blog and read our posts but actually engage. As a fellow plankton, I know and love this feeling. It’s super disheartening when you put hours of effort in, for a post to get lost at sea never to be found again.
Curation
I know there are some amazing curation teams out there and we are not by any means trying to step on any toes but with over 250,000 posts a day I am sure there is room for an additional team. With this in mind, I would like to introduce to “READ ME A.S.A.P” the curation project, designed to showcase undervalued Steemit and other Steem platform users.
What makes this different? Updated
We are using @steem-plus created by @stoodkev to profit share* directly with our curation selections. For this reason the selections will be limited to three each “READ ME A.S.A.P” issue, each writer receiving 10% of the SteemPower, for transparency the author of this curation post will receive 50%, 15% stays with the @asapers, the remaining 5% automatically goes to @steem-plus to further develop that tool for our use. Will be manually done for issue 6/7 due to an error with post uploads.
Please note that payment is made via direct deposit into your wallet, you won't see it as a transfer in your wallet but you can see the payment and the value made on steemworld, it will show up as a "Benefactor Reward" below examples from Issue #1's payouts. I have spoken to the developer @stoodkev and he is looking at making this information easier to find.
To find out more about @steem-plus click HERE, it’s so much more than profit sharing including the added bonus of a voting slider for those of us on Steemit and under 500SP, if you like it, please consider voting for @stoodkev for witness
READ ME A.S.A.P is the first project brought to you by the @aspers.
What can the @asapers do for you?
Great question! What else do you want? Below are some ideas we have in the works but would love some additional ideas, feel free to comment away!

Why The Fuck Is Swearing Fucking Bad? by @stephen.king989

Ever try not to laugh when a toddler comes out with the big F word, its nigh on impossible, so why is swearing so bad, I loved this piece from @stephen.king989. He takes an in-depth look at why and when it became such a bad thing.
*There is still 5 days until PAYOUT. How about a FUNKING Upvote!

There is still 6 days until PAYOUT. An UPVOTE can make anybody smile, but this guy deserves it, have you seen his #newbieresteemday!

Got some spare STEEMPOWER, we accept delegations. What does delegating to us do for you? The satisfaction of helping a new community grow. We aim to upvote content from our supporters but are doing so manually to preserve VP but aim to set up a more formal rewards system in the future.

All our @aspers would appreciate a follow for time and effort put into collating and publishing these curation posts
Thank you for featuring @davemccoy's post! We have been working together for the last few weeks with this weekly featured post where new members can ask me questions about formatting, how to write a quality post and comment as well as the ins and outs of how to find success on steemit.
I have loved every moment with the feature and posts and am enjoying getting to know so many new steemians.
Thanks for stopping by @goldendawne, you and @davemccoy are doing a great thing for new steemians. I look forward to working more with you all in the future. :)
Here's a newbie nickel for your good comment! (the $0.05 upvote)... We look forward to working with you too!
Thanks so much for featuring my post. Resteemed.
You are more than welcome! Thanks for posting curable stuff!
Thanks for featuring my Writing Contest List in your curation @asapers. I hope it brings more awareness to all the great contests out there just waiting for talented writers!
Thanks for pulling them all together that was a huge list :)
It's my small gesture to the writing community here on Steemit. I'm glad you like it :)
Nice work @asapers @insideoutlet and @shai-hulud aka curls get the girls. I will try and find my way to the channel shortly :)
Curls do get the girls! You will see next weekend! :)
This is a great idea and I'm happy that you picked the "Dear Dawne" segment to highlight! @goldendawne does a wonderful job of helping newbies and minnows and its good to get her expertise in front of as many people as possible!
I'm excited about how you structure your posts/payouts and I am also excited about doing things together with you in the future!
Thanks for featuring this and have a wonderful day!
Interesting! Is plankton newer than a minnow? If so, thats me. I have found that if I post something of real value, i earn more. I dont think its just being lucky that time. Ive followed you in hopes of figuring out whatchalldoin!
Thank you and welcome! Yep a plankton is newer than a minnow. Whales eat plankton foir breakfast lol... I have also heard us called Red Fish.
Hey @asapers, great post! I enjoyed your content. Keep up the good work! It's always nice to see good content here on Steemit! :)
