For the second time, we are pleased to welcome guest curator @tcpolymath. Tim Cooper doesn't like repeating the bio he used yesterday. He's a multimedia artist and singin' writin' weirdo-freak from Minnesota and he likes doing this a lot.

@mistermercury offers us an extensive metaphor for how to approach our role as builders of success on Steemit, and he's very funny and engaging about it.

The key to getting curated as an artist, proof of human/process and personalizing your posts!

Art curator @juliaksponsford has created an excellent and extensive guide for artists to express themselves more successfully on Steemit. To succeed here great art is not enough, you also need to understand the community and the audience, and Julia lays it out beautifully.

Conclusion

What a fantastic combination of artistic and extremely useful! @tcpolymath really shows his range of interests along with his consistent ability to find great content. This is his second submission and both times we had to cut something because it generated too much reward between his time of submission and our time of publication. These are just as good, so think of them as undiscovered gems! Check out each article, share your comments, and let the authors know what you think. For submitting these excellent articles and commentary, @tcpolymath earns 4 SBD.

Each of these highlighted articles receives full upvotes and resteems from @thedailysneak. In addition, @thedailysneak sponsors featured writers for Steem Basic Income!

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 authentic 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!
