Welcome to The Daily Sneak!!!

We reward quality content, AND content curators! Come for the crypto, stay for the community!

You can earn up to 5 SBD per accepted submission for guest curating The Daily Sneak. Submission requirements are published at the bottom of each edition of The Daily Sneak.

Today's guest curator is @ecoinstant. He is a long-time guest curator that always finds excellent posts that are truly deserving of attention.

@ecoinstant roams the world looking for the weird, the worthy and the wonderful. The weirdest and most wonderful thing he has found so far is all of the worthy users coming together on the Steem blockchain.

Out of Balance — The Importance of Self-Care

Even those of us with great intentions can get burnt out after a long time in the world. @whitelightxpress wants to remind us to take time to rest and fill our selves back up spiritually, in order to continue doing our part to continue the illumination.

FALSE ALARM - STARRING PAPA-PEPPER & MONSTER TRUCK THE PEPPER

One of the silliest short films I have seen in a while, @papa-pepper continues to make entertaining educational content that brings a smile to our face. False Alarm may not win any awards from the academy, but material like this is sure to stick in our hearts for a long time.

I need some help - Communities

Do we have a retention problem or an expectation problem? @meno wants us to seriously consider what new users need and if they are getting it. How can we make this platform more successful together? Stop in and chime in!

When crypto is low, let's raise our connection to one another!

When we are feeling down should we give up or build bridges? @dflo gives us an incredible example of a Steemian making some mid-course corrections on their Steem journey to increase the experience and the connection. How are you evolving with Steem?

More Obvious...

Sometimes you just want to find an article full of incredible pictures of someplace neat you might never see. This is one of those articles, as @creatr gives us a 360 degree view from the top of a very tall tower in San Diego. Enjoy the view!

Submission Requirements

On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:

1. You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
2. All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
3. You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted. We also check for plagiarism and only highlight original content.
4. Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
5. We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
6. Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
7. Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
8. Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.

If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.

Submission Reward

A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBD for each accepted submission!

Right now @thedailysneak's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces!
