Our First guest today is @kouba01. kouba01 is from Tunisia, he is one of the oldest hardworking steemian who have proven his seriousness and integrity in the platform despite having less or no other User from his country. He is an
IT teacher for over 15years , he is a Crypto Trader and a professor in the CryptoAcedemy.

Presently he is in the Quality Control Team Curation team

So please join Me while I welcome to my Mr. Kouba01.

---

---

: Hello Mr. Kouba, it's my pleasure to welcome you to My Interview Showcase today, How will you describe yourself in one sentence?

🔷Kuoba01: Curious about everything, a bit provocative, impetuous and creative, a kind of explosive cocktail that can make you laugh, enjoy or annoy.

---

: And how will you describe your experience on the steemitblog?

🔷Kuoba01: It was and still is a wonderful experience, which I have lived every day for nearly five years, where I was able to acquire much knowledge, especially in the field of crypto, by forming relationships with kind and hardworking people, but this does not prevent me from being deceived by people I thought were brothers.

---

---

: You are a Known Proffessor in the Steemit CryptoAcedemy, what does it involve to be a professor in the crypto Acedemy?

🔷Kuoba01: Before I started working within the Academy and even before its inception, the platform supervisors would organize crypto contests and ask us to write articles on certain topics, and indeed from there, the research was launched in this promising world and how much I enjoyed when I discovered new information and write about it, and then the Academy was formed where I participated in its first season as a student and then submitted my application to become a professor in the second season, and today I am continuing the experiment as the oldest professor in the academy and I try always to benefit the users with my knowledge.

---

---

: Where there some steps you took before getting to that point?

🔷Kuoba01: As I told you earlier, my period of work at the Academy lasted more than a year and a half, which means that I lived many periods within this community. In fact, before there was more enthusiasm for users to search for information and try to write it individually. for some seasons we have managed to exceed two thousand participations or more.

---

---

: Many Users seem to regard steemit Crypto Academy as one of the tough community in the blog, do you have any idea of what could cause such reasoning? And the low active figure over there?

🔷Kuoba01: Most of these users now belong to their own communities where they organize their own competitions, so their participation within the academy has decreased, perhaps due to lack of time and their concern for the development of their communities and c is completely legit. .

As for the new subscribers, there is a weakness in writing, most of them copy sentences and even whole paragraphs from the web, which leads them to plagiarism, and therefore their voice has been muffled within the Academy, and the last two months have been muted by many users, which explains the lack of our activists.

---

---

: What are some challanges your Curation team face while curating Contents and what suggestions will you give users who make post using your hashtag?

🔷Kuoba01: Also, my work within the Quality Control curation team I enjoy a lot because of its individual and collective gains, the fact that it is a place that teaches you to be a leader without being commanded or domineering, despite the different countries and cultures we were able to work in a brotherly atmosphere. Our goal is to encourage users to write articles In the fields of finance and technology, with good content and to select the best.

Even the exit of many members and their replacement with others users that did not affect the flow of work since we have a clear structure that enables our new members to integrate quickly within the team. I thank everyone who worked with us previously for their professionalism and proficiency throughout their working with us. .

---

---

: What’s one thing very few people know about you?

🔷Kuoba01:Maybe that my real profession is also an IT teacher for 15 years.

---

---

Kouba01 accuracy in shooting

: I once saw you with a sniper rifle, are you in any way related to a force group?

🔷Kuoba01:Absolutely not, I am peaceful by nature, I do not like wars, but my favorite hobby after practicing bodybuilding remains wild hunting while adhering to the times when it is open for hunting, and one of my most important features is my accuracy in shooting, which is the most prominent challenge that hunters want to highlight.

---

---

: What do you like to do most in your leisure time ?

🔷Kuoba01:Playing sports, working on steemit platform and walking around with my sons.

---

---

: What’s your biggest Pet Peeve?

🔷Kuoba01:I am too sensitive, which is the thing that a member of the platform played on to defraud me and passively a large amount of money, And also quick to anger.

---

---

: It seems we have little or no Tunisians in the blog apart from you, do you think we would have more Users who are from your Country?

🔷Kuoba01:Every time I invite many friends to join the platform to form a community for our country, but I want to tell you that the main problem is that most of them do not want to start from zero, and they want me to support them strongly from the beginning, but my first condition is that they provide content that rises to their support, which has not happened so far. So, I'd rather not join them than break the rules of the platform.

---

---

: What advice do you have for both New steemains and those who are struggling to grow on the steemit platform?

🔷Kuoba01:My most important advice is patience and perseverance, the beginning of the road is always difficult, so be defiant and do not despair of beginnings and the day will come when you say yes I did it.

---

---

: What can you say about the Interview showcase?

🔷Kuoba01:I really enjoyed your interview with me through your professional questions, which indicate your diligence in searching for someone to interview. I wish you success in this work, and it is a real idea that deserves support and encouragement.

And Our Next guest today is all the way From Turkey . She is a lifestyle blogger , a wonderful User who love travelling and making great contents out of it. She is presently Working With the Same curation team With Mr.Kouba01. She is a good example of a hardworking lady. Please Friends give it up to our great guest today @ozenozge .

---

: Hello Ozge, It's my pleasure to have you on the Interview Showcase program today, please tell us, How would you describe your experience on Steemit so far??

🔶ozenozge : Hello dear ubongudofot,First of all, thank you for inviting me to the Interview Showcase program. Honestly, I'm a little excited as this is my first interview.

Coming to the question, I have been registered with Steemit since March 2021 and in the process I made a lot of new friends and learned a lot about blockchains. So I can say that Steemit has added a lot to me. Now, I shape my life a bit according to Steemit, sometimes when I go somewhere, I take more photos to create content on Steemit, and sometimes I even visit different places just to create Steemit content.

Apart from that, the fact that Steemit is an international place is also very interesting. I learn about cultures of places that I will not have the opportunity to visit in my life. Seeing snapshots from the daily lives of people from different cultures allowed me to know those cultures better.

---

---

: What has been your biggest achievement since you joined the Steemit platform ?

🔶ozenozge : I cannot give an example of a single event, but Steemit Crypto Academy is of great importance to me. I got good upvotes here, but it wasn't a big deal. The most important thing is that I gained so much knowledge in this way that it was reflected in my daily life.

Before Steemit, my knowledge of blockchains was almost zero. Thanks to the SCA assignments, I first learned the basics and then progressed to higher levels. Nowadays, people around me in my daily life ask me questions about blockchains and get my ideas.

In fact, I started to create content about blockchains on a local news site. I have a lot to learn and improve myself right now, but at least maybe I can even build a career in this field. If it wasn't for Steemit this would have been unimaginable to me.

---

---

: You just joined the curators team recently, how will you describe the experience so far?

🔶ozenozge : As this was my first curation experience, the first weeks were pretty tough and I overwhelmed the dear Quality Control team with my questions. But since the team was very understanding and helpful, they kindly answered my every question and they helped me.

---

In fact, it is not as easy as it seems because you may face unexpected situations. It is also a responsibility to be fair and to vote fairly. Especially the best selection of the week challenges me because sometimes a few content is at the same level and it can be stressful to catch that small difference between similar articles.

---

Apart from that, since we vote on the articles about the fintech label, it is enjoyable to follow the articles in this field and to reach interesting information from time to time. I enjoy reading interesting articles, especially in the field of science, but in this field, financial content is mainly focused on.

---

---

: What would you do as a curator to improve our current contents in the ecosystem???

🔶ozenozge : This is a good and pondering question. I will quickly answer any ideas that come to my mind right now.
First of all, I believe that informing the authors will increase the quality. For example, instead of skipping a content directly because it is of poor quality, I think it would be useful to politely report why the article was not upvoted as a comment. As a team, we leave a brief comment on skipped posts.

---

I also believe that justice is very important. As a quality post gets voted with a good percentage, it will encourage authors to produce quality content.

---

Apart from that, even if the content of the article is of high quality, I think that the visual is also important. By using markdowns, the visual quality of the texts can be increased.There is no doubt that this makes the article easier to read.

---

---

: You write alot of Content on Lifestyle, do you want to tell me why you choose this as your niche?

🔶ozenozge: I use Steemit for many purposes. One of them is to create a personal diary. In this way, when I look back in the future, I think it is good to see what I did at that time, what my goals were and whether I was able to reach them.

---

I also like to travel, and by sharing them on Steemit, I research the places I visit in more detail. Before Steemit, I used to share the places I went as a tourist on social media accounts such as Instagram and that’s it. Now, I research a place I visited after the trip is over and increase my knowledge about it.

---

---

: What has been your most successful post?

🔶ozenozge: Hmm, I think this is a difficult question. My answer to this question will be https://steemit.com/hive-185836/@ozenozge/club75-drawing-set-for-beginners.

---

Maybe it wasn't my hardest work or the highest upvoted post, but after this post, I got SC01 follow-up. Therefore, I think it wouldn't be wrong to choose this post as the most successful post.

---

PS: I'm still working on drawing, although I'm not as enthusiastic as I was then, but I'm still very amateur. I hope one day I can have the opportunity to share my quality drawings with you like the great artists on Steemit.

---

: Please Could you describe your writing process, from concept to publishing?

🔶ozenozge: First of all, I write what goes through my mind as a plain text. Here I quickly write what comes to my mind without filtering completely.

---

Then I read my article and edit the mistakes. If my content is in Turkish, I move on to adding the photos. In English, I check the grammar using a utility like prowritingaid.com and make corrections if any. Afterwards, I add the photos to the article as in Turkish content.

---

Secondly, I choose the photos that I will use in my article. This can be the hardest part sometimes. I usually use my own photos in my articles. Especially if there will be an article about the past, I go to my photo album and download all the related photos to my computer. Because sometimes there are dozens of photos and I try to choose the best ones.

---

After adding the photos, I apply the mark downs. For this, I usually copy the ready-made mark downs from my previous articles.

---

Finally, I check my article from beginning to end and share it.

---

When I first started to writing on Steemit, I prepared it in a word document and then copied it to Steemit. But definitely this is a more tiring and difficult path. It is more practical to write directly on Steemit and make edits from there.

---

---

: How do you attract new readers to your blog?

🔶ozenozge: An engaging title and a nice cover image should definitely be the highlights. At least I pay attention to that as a reader .

---

---

: Apart from the steemit world is photography part of your real life professional skills or just your hobby?

🔶ozenozge:Definitely just a hobby. In fact, I have to admit that I am not a person who likes to take pictures and shoot. My interest in photography increased with Steemit. When I meet my friends, they find it interesting that I take pictures of what's going on around me. This is definitely the Steemit effect.

---

---

: Do you think there are some areas in which Users needs to work on in other to produce more quality content in the steemit ecosystem? , what's your advice to Users for a better growth?

🔶ozenozge: Of course, better is always possible. Maybe none of us are professional writers, but I believe that we can increase the quality of the content we create by putting more effort into it.

---

This is what I always say to my friends who come to Steemit through me. Don't just use this place to make money, try to be original and enjoy your work while creating your content.

---

It is also very important not to give up. Do not be offended by the platform because a few of your articles are not noticed and continue to work patiently. Surely someone will notice you.

---

---

: What can you say about the Interview Showcase?

🔶ozenozge:It has been a very good work to see the authors we frequently see on this platform from a different perspective. Frankly, I fell in love with the idea. It makes me very happy to see such quality work. From now on, I will follow and support Interview Showcase closely. Thank you again for having me as a guest, it was a very enjoyable experience.

And Our last but not the least of our guests today is @janemorane all the way from Pakistan, She is an art Lover and has Serve in the Art Curation team for over 3 months With Some good Commendations. There is something about this User that is worth Emulating by Users, please follow along as I dig into this.

: How would you describe your experience on Steemit so far?

🔶Janemorane: I have more experience then my presence on steemit, maybe I might sound wrong to you but let me explain, since I joined steemit I read people saw their achievements, read about their experience their methods of working and I totally adopt those methods and apply them practically on my blogs and that helped me gaining more experinace than I actually have on steemit.

---

I have experience of writing blogs, arranging contests in the communities, guiding newcomers. And honestly speaking steemit has become a very important part of my life that I never ignore. I consider steemit as my job but the job that i like, the job I do by my own choice and the job that never stressed me out but help me in increasing my productivity and brings positive energy.

---

---

: What has been your biggest achievement since you joined the Steemit platform ??

🔶Janemorane: Being active steemian on steemit is my biggest achievement itself, since I am on steemit I have achieved so many things. Recently, I led an Art’s Curation team for around four months which I consider as my biggest achievement so far.

---

Being in the curators shoes for months is not a small thing and I think being a curator on steemit is dream of all of us once, and I lived my dream these months..

---

---

: We Notice your absent for sometimes now in the blog, you want to tell us the reason for the absent?

🔶Janemorane: Actually being a student it gets very difficult for me at times to manage things and with studies, writings blogs needs time and most of the time the reason behind my absenties from steemit are because of my studies.

---

It been one year I joined university after insisting my mother and other relatives because they didn’t wanted me to join university as none of my females cousins ever went to university and that’s why I have to spend more time studying to get good marks because I got this chance hardly and now I don’t want to waste it.

---

That’s the main reason I get absent or lessactive on steemit. But as now I am on my summar vacations I am trying my best to give more time to steemit and write my blogs daily to fulfill my absenties.

---

---

: you and your team handled the Art curation role for the past 4 months before letting it to other team, can you tell us what was so Interesting about the Job ?

🔶Janemorane: The most interesting thing about this job was team work, I really appreciate my fellow teammates for cooperating. They all really work hard to make a stronger team together.

---

In addition, curating others and appreciating their work was one other thing I really liked about this job. NOw, I know the happiness when you appreciate and help motivate others for their work it a different feeling I always want to feel.

---

---

: What was the biggest challange and what advice will you give the present team?

🔶Janemorane: The biggest challenge to our team during the period of curation was finding some eligible posts, most of the time the posts were plagiarised, some good posts authors do not even powered up, others just post pictures and not even wrote a sentence description to it which was not worthy to curate. I appreciate all the curators for their efforts to find eligible and worthy posts and curate them to support the ones who are truly needed.

---

---

: Do you intend to apply again?

🔶Janemorane: Yes, I really want to work again as curator because it helped me learn and work according to the rules and regulations nad also help me understand the importance of using correct tags, joining clubs and many more.Offcourse, i really want gain more and more of the knowledge from the curators job.

---

---

: Why do you have so much passion about Art?

🔶Janemorane: Since childhood I had dream to become fashion designer but my parents disn’t allow me to study fashion designing in university but my passion is still learning different arts, I love doing painting, sketching and other crafts. It provides me the ability to think out of the box and live in my imaginative world, help me relax and breath. You can call it my hobby or passion but I am very much enthusiastic about ARTs since childhood.

---

---

: Apart from steemit, are you working or Schooling, please tell us about it and how you schedule your time to still sustain on the steemit platform?

🔶Janemorane: I am 2nd year University student, studying Social sciences as my main ubject at university. I am steemit since my last year at school and from that time I used to schedule my work and study together by using sticky notes and a small notice board on my table to help me remind all the activities at school and the posts I need to make on steemit, also what contests I have to enter throughout the week. This helped me managed my work and school life together without any inconvenience.

---

---

: What has been your worst moment on the steemit platform?

🔶Janemorane: Steemit has given me so much happiness, I have celebrated many happy moments of my life with steemit. But there are some bad moments which everyone faces and there is one worse experience of mine which I have faced on steemit, yesterday i did an unwanted mistake and reposted an old post of mine. Next day when I woke up I saw a comment and i was about to cry when I realised my mistake and regret it.

---

I am an honourable steemian have build my reputation in very long period by working hard, I felt so bad that how I can be so careless and irresponsible but since I regret my mistake and thus ask for apology and on then I felt a bit lighter and that’s my advice to all other steemians to never ever make such mistake and if did then learn to accept their mistakes because it shows humility and everyone should do it.

---

I personally had the worse moment ever and i really felt so bad but I hope everyone will understand that humans make mistakes and should accept it.

---

: I am glad you took the right step by humbly and respectfully accepting the correction given to you by the admin, and I hope you won't repeat Such act again as we don't condone it. This Should be a fine example to other Users. Accept When you are wrong

---

: What Advice do you have for both Old and New steemian who are struggling to progress in the blog?

🔶Janemorane:As much as I have noticed many people try to use shortcuts and other ways to become on top in short time which is definitely not the right way, you have to struggle for each single vote.

---

You have to make your post so attractive that it doesn’t need to beg anyone for votes, work your writings styles, your post length, your markdowns styles, plagiarism and many more and only then you can make your post attractive to others and especially curators.

---

: what Can you say about the Interview Showcase, do you think it can Contribute to the steemit Growth?

🔶Janemorane: I personally appreciate your idea about showcasing different steemians and doing efforts on reaching them and taking their interviews. By this interview showcase many people get a chance to share their experiane on steemit and can guide others about the mistakes they made them self.

---

Working on steemit is not less than a challenge and it needs dedication to be successful on the platform.
