Congratulations! Your introduction post has been selected for my special manual curation today!
It has received an upvote, and a resteem to help give you a boost. I'm following you now, too!
My curation focus is on fairly new Steemit users who don't speak English as a first or primary language, but who are writing and posting in English.
I search new posts in the #introducemyself and #introduceyourself tags daily, and try to dedicate at least 50% of my article curation to new Steemit members who meet the above focus criteria. My goal is to discover and curate an average of 5 new Steemit users per day.
I follow each person I curate because it is very encouraging for a new member to see their following grow.
25% of my daily curation is dedicated to upvoting, resteeming and commenting on new articles posted by the Steemit users I am following. If you have written an article that you think is particularly good, you can direct message me a link to it in Steemit.chat (look at the bottom of the Steemit menu for the chat link.)
I also curate comments from all Steemit users. I look to reward comments and replies which stand out as having thoughtful insight, offer benefit to the community at large and reflect the unique personality of the commenter.
I aim to keep my voting strength between 90-100%, and give a 100% upvote whenever possible, voting 10-15 times per day.

My great thanks for these essential information. I will lookup this "curation" so that I may do the same. I am still familiazing myself with the environment. I am glad to meet you here @mitneb more power to you.
You are very welcome, @mageofthoughts! There are a lot of new things to learn about how Steemit works, but with just a little reading and research you can get the hang of it. I have just decided to focus more on discovering and encouraging a narrow sector of users than on creating my own posts. I still do write articles, but not many compared to most users. I do a lot of interacting with people, too. I settled on this after being on Steemit for a couple of months. Cheers!
Time is one thing I lack but I will make it up with posting content. Thank you very much for sharing these necessary information to a new commer like me. More power to you.
I think that with your line of work and activities you will have a lot of interesting things to write about, and that will be a great way for you to prosper on Steemit, @mageofthoughts! Cheers!
