There are 3 (THREE) simple, yet very important things to do, if you are new on POB/LEO, your name (ID) is not easy recognizable, and you still want to get my attention:
- TITLE of the post.
- First line of the text, to be seen while I'm browsing the "new" section of posts.
- FIRST picture in your post (shown as icon on the list of all posts)
I just can not (physically) open and read every post. This is simply impossible.
What I do though (and probably many curators do)- first I browse the list of new posts (last 4-5 hours, sometimes longer) and open those posts which catches my attention - in a separate tabs of my browser. Then I read them, and upvote them.
Or not.
If it appears as a junk not worth even 1% of my upvote, I just skip.
On LEO I sometimes upvote with 0.01% of my power, which I can set as default level (on LEO).
On POB - I could not find a way to upvote with <1% of vote power.
Yet many times I found that 1% , or 8 POB would be way too inadequate reward. So I SKIP.
