I would recommend that within Steemit you try to broaden your horizons and post where people like [...] are part of some of the good curation teams that exist on the platform so that they can read you.

I wouldn't recommend that for several reasons... and emmabritt doesn't need that either, because she already gets attention from at least one curator team.
If the teams you mentioned are good curators, they are able to find good authors and posts. Sometimes it's a bit more difficult because we have to get to know the authors first. But no user should write anywhere or anything just to be found by curators.

If I may recommend something to you: our report of the week.
