Qurator - Real Results Where Others Fail to Deliver

I know you've been plugging away at your keyboard for months so you can get a bunch of $0.15 STU payouts on your quality content. You've become frustrated and start cursing Steemit, whales, haejin, etc. Maybe you even blame the Russians (seems like the goto scapegoat for most problems in the world these days). You can't understand why nobody on Steemit seems to value your 5000 word dissertation on the migratory patterns of caribou. Here is some solid advice (not just for Steemit):

If you continue to do what you've always done, you'll continue to get what you always got!

If you want to really grow your account and gain some traction on the platform, let me suggest yet another great resource available to you for next to nothing of an investment. Qurator

There are a ton of "communities" here on Steemit and unfortunately, the vast majority of them aren't effective or require you to sell your soul and time to them for a fraction of the net benefit to you. I won't name them (there's really too many to name anyway), but let's face it. You're here because you want to build your account and get paid for your work.

If you're here to donate your time and effort without return, then you probably won't be here very long anyway because that just isn't how people operate (regardless of what they say). Does this mean that you can't help others? Of course not, but there still needs to be some value for you or you'll just burnout, become disgruntled and blame the Russians like many of the intellectually lazy people in the world.

Note: if your preferred method of knowledge ingestion is video, scroll down and just watch the instructional video I made

Why Join Qurator?

1. Get automatic upvotes everyday for life.
2. Get FREE advice on their Discord channel about how to manage your Steemit account.
3. Meet cool people that can actually read and write and make "friends" with them. (this is called "networking")
4. Get access to a voting bot that guarantees a profitable upvote - @qustodian
5. Participate in weekly contests to make better payouts on your posts (and grow your network - are you seeing a pattern here?)
6. Improve the Steemit community in general (for those of you that are all about rainbows and unicorns), but really the community does get better when we have good authors putting out good content.

What exactly is Qurator?

You notice that the first thing I discussed was the VALUE @qurator gives you before the "What is it?" section. Keep that in mind next time you post (free advice).

Qurator is a community where someone might actually enjoy reading about your evaluation of the mating rituals of white squirrels in Iowa. Well, not likely, but finding a target audience is a topic for another day. In any event, the @qurator project is a community of people that generally promote and share good content. It is also a great way to get upvotes for life if you continue to put out quality content.

Disclaimer - I receive nothing from the Qurator Project for referring you. This is not affiliate marketing. This is ME trying to help YOU get a return on your hard work and getting paid to do it by way of SP and SBD. In fact, Qurator may not even like this post, but I love them enough for both of us.

Here is how @qurator works:

You produce quality posts and not just pictures of what you ate for breakfast (stole that phrase from @yallapapi). After you have put together at least 10 good posts, you apply to join the community. This shouldn't be too hard for those of you that read this far into my post.

How does One Become a Qurite?

How do you join? Go to @qurator and they give you instructions that are easy to follow (instructions here - https://steemit.com/qurator/@qurator/qurator-3-0-update-post-guidelines-or-registration-details-or-tier-changes), but I will save you some time.

Step 1 - Send @qurator 4 Steem (not SBD) - DO NOT ATTACH links to your posts or other BS. In the memo section, simply put "I want to be a Qurite like @energyaddict22" (this is not mandatory, but they will know I sent you haha)

Step 2 - Wait and be patient. Yes, Qurator doesn't have a magic bot that immediately reviews your posts to see if they are worth a damn. They have some very smart people (moderators) that will actually review your posts over the next 24-72 hours to see if you're worth your salt. If you are, they will send you a transfer and welcome you to the community. If not - You get a full refund of your 4 Steem.

**Note - they have an appeal process if you get denied, but let's be honest. If you got denied, you probably should rethink the "I'm going to be an amazing blogger on Steemit and get rich" dream. Don't go back to step 1. Just go back to Instagram.

Step 3 - Join their Discord if you hadn't already. They are going to invite you to join their Discord - here is the invitation link: https://discord.gg/pJtWp57

Realities Versus Socialist Dreams

At this point you are good to go. You are going to get a "Tier 2" membership for 30 days. Currently, that means an upvote of about $0.15 each day. After that, your "Tier" will depend on your level of support for the community.

Wait! I have to support the community? Yes, but it isn't hard and it isn't going to cost you a bunch of additional Steem or SBD. Here is the link to the latest explanation of the "Tier System" - https://steemit.com/qurator/@qurator/the-daily-qurator-218 - (you will need to scroll down a bit)

However, I am here to simplify this for you and save you time. After your 30 days at Tier 2, you will go to Tier 0 and get an upvote daily that is currently valued at $.04.

Oh! That sucks. Yes, not worth your time or your 4 Steem, so here is what you do instead. You go to Steemauto.com and you add @qurator to your fanbase and you set them up so you upvote them once a day at $.05 or at 100% depending on your current SP. If you need to see how Steemauto works read my post here - https://steemit.com/steemit/@energyaddict22/steemit-essentials-steemauto

If you upvote @qurator 7 or more times each week, you raise yourself to Tier 2 without spending any additional Steem or SBD.

But my vote isn't worth $0.05! Okay, then you need to do 2 things. First, you need to follow my tutorials so you can raise your SP levels. Second, if after 30 days you still aren't at $0.05 there is a consolation prize of Tier 1 for $0.03 upvotes 7+ times a week.

Still not there after 30 days? Consider Instagram and marrying someone with a job; Steemit may not be your calling because anyone posting good content daily for over 30 days is going to be bringing in enough SP to cover this amount especially if you're following me and my suggestions.

Consolation Prize #2 - If you still think you have it in you to do the Steemit thing, send more Steem to Qurator to maintain a higher tier. For 1 Steem you get 30 days of Tier 1 and 2 Steem gets you 30 days of Tier 2. If you do the math, you will see that this is a net benefit to you in the short and long term. If you're bad at math - Instagram.

Maximize Your Qurator Investment

Here are my suggestions on how to utilize the Qurator Project to get to the needed SP threshold and grow your account.

1. Post everyday. I don't suggest 4 times a day because most people posting that many times a day are producing shit work that I won't read anyways. Post a quality article everyday. You can write several and set them to post on different days - see my Steemauto article for how to do this.

2. Use the "post promotion" channel on Qurator's Discord. You are going to have to read, comment, and upvote on another qurite's post. Then you will share your post and someone will do the same for you. If your stuff is good (or maybe you just get lucky) you will get several people that will upvote and comment. Also, you are going to make "friends" this way.

3. Buy upvotes on your posts from @qustodian with your SBD. It won't be much if you're poor, but it will be profitable. Currently, you can get an upvote from @qustodian for amounts of up to 0.4 SBD. Don't have that much? Send less. Either way, it is a profitable upvote of somewhere around 150 - 200%

4. Engage with people on Qurator's Discord. "Engaging" isn't "tit for tat" follows or upvotes. It is actual conversation with other people about "stuff". Whatever you like to talk about. Ask questions about how they do things on Steemit and why? You'll get some good advice and some tips and tricks to the Steemit game as well. Have a serious question of a technical nature? Ask the Qurator moderators. They will probably know and if they don't, they often will find out for you. Yes, they are that cool!

5. Invest in @qurator. Once you have enough SP, delegate 100 or more to the Qurator Project. Every 100 SP you delegate gets you up an additional Tier up to Tier 5. So, if you upvote 7+ times a week at $0.05 and delegate 300 SP, then you will be Tier 5 (it stacks) and you will receive an upvote daily of $0. 73 (current amount).

6. Follow and Upvote other Qurites. The people that are fully utilizing the Qurator Project are growing their accounts. That means that your "friends" on Qurator are going places. Upvote their content regularly - again, see my Steemauto post on how to do this. They will be thankful and will share the love. I know that I do so don't forget to support me as well - Shameless plug.

7. Participate in Qurator Contests. They have some very cool contests and while you may not win, you will meet other people and grow your network.

Qurator for Dummies

So, all of this seems a bit complicated to you? I have created a solution since many of you are Generation Y or later. Just watch this video and I spoon feed you everything that I just explained in a 15 minute video more or less.
