RE: Celebrating My Birthday + Weekly Steemit Anthology | February 19 - 25

Happy Birthday, Amelia! Once again, a beautiful post. And, what an honor to be selected as a Curie curator! From what I've seen so far of your standard of excellence in your work; you're going to do a great job!

Many thanks @coachjj! Just goes to show that if you dream it, you can do it! 💓

Amen! So, I followed your links to find out more about Curie. I had read info about it in my first days here, was a little confused, so I kinda forgot about it.

I love following trails that show up in my life motree than once. So, just now, I followed @curie and joined the discord channel. I've read the pinned posts and have a vague understanding of how it works. I'm intrigued.

In layman's terms, what's the best way to proceed if I'd like to try curating?

Gosh, I am certainly no authority on Curie myself, but here's how I went about it:

  • Curated my favorite articles into a lil thang called Ladies of Steemit and made sure to differentiate myself on the basis of quality, author-focus, and design elements.
  • Even before that, I'd save links to articles that helped me learn about Steemit for curation and paraphrasing (with credit) into my Steemit Beginner's Series.

When it came to getting involved with curie:

  • I genuinely befriended a couple curators, both of which before I knew they were with curie, but then gently picked their brains once I found out they were involved.
  • Joined the Curie discord channel and read all the pinned messages and started participating.
  • Tuned into curie-related mentoring Q&A on Discord, one of which with top curator @carlgnash who is super generous with his knowledge and experience.
  • Began submitting articles to the curation-links channel on the Curie discord for consideration. If your posts are solid, other curators will submit on your behalf and now you're on their radar.

Maybe I should write a post on this. 😂

Yes! This was outlined beautifully and easily. I bet others would find value in what you're learned on this topic and how you went about it. Can I DM you with a question? A little "gently picking" of your brain?

Of course, please do!
