Someone referred me to this post as it sound like you are a large step ahead of something we are trying to accomplish with the Pay It Forward Curation Contest. Plans are in the works to set up a community account to help out the great curators and those they curate. If you happen to have a few minutes to share some tips that might save us some time I'm on discord under the same name and #6765
Since I'm here, what I'm grateful for. I must say that the community of people who are willing to take the time out of their lives to help others. The other day I posted some random thoughts that kind of turned into my thanking everyone for their efforts. I was included in a list that in no way I've earned yet, but it was an honor and made me feel that I was just getting credit for the work of others.
People who are willing to spend hours to curate newbies and help drive them some traffic amaze me and help keep me motivated each and every day to come back to steemit. These people deserve not only my gratitude, but so that of more on steemit as they are doing the work that will help keep newbies around increasing the active user count.
So I'm grateful for steemit and the way it allows our large crazy world to become a little smaller and seem less crazy. For this platform allows people from around the world to share their stories and people from all around the world to show how we all care for each other as people not caring where each other are from or our colors...we are just people helping people.
So very grateful for there are other people out there that have a #payitforward mentality.
