I don't even know if the word curatable exist, but if it doesn't, for the purpose of this post let's give it the meaning of:
A curatable post on Leo Finance is an article that is written in a great way, that uses visual aids to retain the readers' attention and is long enough to hook the reader and allow the author to deep dive on the topic. It's a post where the author does research to base their statements, provides sources when its required, and follows the vision of Leo Finance of democratizing access and knowledge to finance.
Let's break down this paragraph above
Written in a great way
Your content is competing for attention and votes from the general audience and curation teams:
- Pick an interesting topic - generic topics are not attractive!
- Write it yourself, original content is highly valuable on Leo.
- Compose your article correctly: Introduction, body, your opinion, conclusion.
- Use title dividers, readers love a structured post.
- Watch out for spelling mistakes a keep a good grammar.
- Make short paragraphs, focus in one idea per paragraph.
- Use Leo Glossary for the important terms you use
- Optimize it for search engines - Guide Part 1 Part 2
- Avoid generating texts with artificial intelligence, we will detect that and put you on a black list of non-eligible authors for curation.
Visual aids
An article with images and/or videos helps you break down and explain your topic in a better way, but most importantly it allows the reader to take breaks from reading; it also makes your content much more consumable by the average reader.
If you can't find images that fit your content or your narrative, you can generate some with artificial intelligence. Leo Finance has no issue with visual aids generated by AI as long as you use them to support your content and are never the main attraction point of your article.
Long content
In order for you to have a chance to introduce the topic, expand enough on it, give your opinion and even cite other authors before your conclusion, you need to make a lengthy article.
Leo Finance will curate an article no matter its length, but articles above 500 words are more appreciate by our curators, and those above 750 words - without noise or filler text - stand out from the bulk of short pieces.
Think about it, the more you write about a topic, the better you can express yourself and share your knowledge; the longer your article is - without excess -, the easier it will be for your readers to understand the topic and get interested on it.
Research & Providing sources
A lot of topics that are perfect for Leo Finance are complicated: Cryptocurrency, Finance, Economics, Business, Politics... these are topics that you might not know a lot about.
But Doing your Own Research can let you understand any given topic! If you write about a topic that is out of your comfort zone, all you have to do it provide the sources you used to understand the topic.
Provide the sources where you acquired that knowledge at the end of your article and you are good to go. If you used images from other websites to support your content, cite those sources as well!
Follows the vision of Leo Finance
To Democratize access and knowledge to finance.
Share your knowledge, help others acquire financial independence, teach them whatever you think is worth learning!

Is the curation still applicable through @loegrowth? I haven't seen any curation threads for several days...
Yes, we're giving it some polished details and we'll continue with that one
It has been impossible for me to get curated on Leo - whatever form I write. Giving up finally, Leo is not my thing.
Hey man, I hope you are doing great and your family as well! I remember we used to interact every now and then around a year ago. I noticed you don't have a lot of content on Leo, maybe it is that - our curators are manual mostly, but there's also a lot of ways to get curated! Have you seen that you can submit your own posts to get curated?
I wouldn't give up just yet, give it one more try, after all the last 40 days we used a lot of the VP for our Adoption campaign, but that finished on Saturday so now we have a lot more VP to curate, so hang in there, keep creating some content every now and then and I'm sure you'll receive some curation... after all we've only been at this new curation system for around one month :D
Thanks for this article. I would adopt it for my post on any community. Hopefully my writing will improve.

This is really great. As you put it. It is a visual aid
I will go by it
Well explained
Hello @anomadsoul Thank you for your explanation of a curatable post. Are these the only topics we can write about on LeoFinance? Cryptocurrency, Finance, Economics, Business, Politics Thank you. Barb 👍 😊 !BBH !CTP
Thank you for writing this post. It provides me valuable feedback. I have rewritten my most recent post after reading this article, and I think it is a better post now. It is easier to read, and more educational.
Thank you for helping me improve the quality of my post and provide more value in my content.
This article has really broadened my knowledge on @LeoFinance requirements from authors. Also I will try as much as I can to always do research because its not easy to cook an article so to say, a lot of hard smart work is need. On my recent article about "Retirement in a Decentralized Economy" I saw someone reblog the post and was amazed, I never knew that article make sense. Thanks @anomadsoul.
This is really great. I have learnt a lot from this
I am trying to dig deeper into the "curatable" from a blockchain perspective here: Posting via InLEO makes the post eligible to earn LEO, right? Posting via InLeo posts always in the community "hive-167922", correct? But posting directly to "hive-167922" does not automatically make a post eligable for LEO, does it? The same goes for the tag "LeoFinance", which is always applied when posting via InLeo but when adding that tag to a post or comment which wasn't posted via InLeo, it doesn't count, I assume. So in conclusion, the only thing that does count is the "json_metadata_value": "leothreads/0.3" - correct?
