What is the Curation Digest?
If you haven't seen our daily Curation Digest you should have a look. Our curation team goes through hundreds of bids daily and finds our favorite five posts to feature in our Curation Digest to encourage and reward good content from good authors.
This isn't easy to do as a lot of the content submitted is low effort or worse. I would love to see more high quality content we can feature in our daily post. At this time we had to switch to posting Monday through Friday only due to the reduced support as a result of high SBD price and the amount of time involved to keep up with a daily publication. We have been doing this for over 6 months now at least Monday through Friday.
How can you get featured?
If you bid our maximum 50 SBD or our minimum 0.500 SBD (on @ipromote) you have an equal chance of being featured in our digest. We play no favorites and want to feature content you are proud of, not content just throw in for an upvote worth more than you spent.
If you want to be featured then write content that you are proud of and want everyone to see. I wrote a post awhile ago that You are not entitled to an audience, you need to earn it!. I was never a good blogger, so I might be the worst person to listen to, but I believe the there are a few secrets. Always value your readers time, don't waste it. Write for the benefit of others, and not yourself, everyone has a "what's in it for me voice" inside their head, turn yours off.
Every curator has their own ideas of what they think is quality content and topics they find more interesting than others. We try to avoid favoring specific niches or authors.
Go visit some of the authors featured this week in our Curation Digest.
Our Curation Digest was built on the idea of rewarding good quality content and not low effort spam. By doing this, we build a stronger better community and support the future of Steem.
My creator @themarkymark (witness) and @buildawhale are strong supporters of the Steemit community and want to see it grow into something magnificent. The Curation Digest is built on that mentality. Reward awesome authors producing awesome content.
If you want to support our efforts, there are a few things you do to help us.
Donate Steem Power
Donating steem power to @buildawhale or @buildawhaletrail allows us to provide larger votes and will increase our trail service to further reward authors featured in our Curation Digest. Currently @buildawhaletrail is in our [PreVote Club] but when we have additional steem power it will focus exclusively on authors featured in our Curation Digest.
Write a post about @buildawhale
We love to see community posts about @buildawhale. We pride ourselves in being different by not selling our votes outside of the bidding windows, manipulating bids, and putting everything we get back into growing. Our new PreVote club rewards @buildawhale users with additional votes and allows Steemians to get valuable curation rewards. Our daily Curation Digest helps promote quality content and feature great authors. Our new partnership with @steemvoter.com will provide massive rewards to being featured in our Curation Digest. Let others know what we are doing and how we trying to be different and transparent.

Thanks for sharing i will done upvote I always see your post. And follow you
interesting! following...
I am interested in the program you are doing .. but I have not been able to do much for my better work ..
Im noticing that as more and more real people show up on steemit, the less and leas crap content i see, so thats a plus. These contests are great for finding those kind of blogs so i really appreciate what you guys are doing witth this program. I like this way of doing things quite alot better than minnowsupport. So i wont mute your bot!
This isn't a contest as most of the content is on Steemit, this is human curation and trying to expose people to good content. Discovery is a major issue on Steemit right now as is the lack of signal in the noise.
Yes what i mean when i say contest is in that human curation people have to decide who wins and loses. Which is more a competition element then a contest i guess.
What I'd like to see is a mid range quality listing for people who put forth a genuine effort but are a little lacking in punctuation or expression. My son had what they termed a unspecified learning disability growing up, he'd say words and he'd get close, I'd correct him but remind him it was always better to try. I think that's an important message to get across to some, there are quite a few people on here putting forth their best foot but in your heart you know they don't stand a chance when you see what stories get listed as top quality. I think something along this line would also help people from getting discouraged and leaving and close the gap of the rather snobbish attitude you see coming from the top tier. It's this very gap that if Zuckerburg ever started paying out would put Steemit out of business. Here is a prime example of what I consider an all out honest display, written totally from the heart and even took his own pictures.

As a curator for buildawhale I have selected content that wasn't perfectly written grammatically. I think that good content is more about the actual content and not necessarily the punctuation and spelling for example. The people that really stand in the way of this are the ones who are plagiarizing and trying to manipulate the system. They make it hard to analysis posts without a little hesitation.
But even though this is something I have considered in the past, it is great to be reminded of it. Whether it be from learning disabilities to language barriers. Thanks :)
Thank you I appreciate the reply and glad someone else understands we are all unique in our abilities.
i'm hearing this for the first time @buildawhale, and i'm soo in.
I wish that wasn't the case, we have been doing this daily for over 6 months, I wish more people knew. That's why I wrote the post as I am amazed at how many people don't know about our curation aspect.
Helping others is good job. You are doing best for Steemit community. Resteemed @buildawhale
Yes,, you my witness
buildahale is really a good writer
AI is amazing eh?
Nice post
Something knew that if increase the steem dollar then some rules will come.
Very nice posting @buildawhale! you are very good with the progress which is very nice, thank you for sharing my friend ...
Thank you for it! it would be nice!
why there is such a long article
I'd like to personally ask to not be promoted on the list. I'm aware that it requires payment, however in the off chance that someone decides to pay it forward for one reason or another, kindly think of it as a donation from them and shrug.
This is a fantastic job, i just love the character exhibited on the platform by steemians authors, experts and sponsors, always ready to helping people get to the top. Well done
thanks Buildawhale, with you, i can be better and bigger then i ever had. it's pump up my gut to make a better content.
Good information, thanks for sharing @buildawhale
