Curation Guidelines for SteemCor07 Curation Team||Lifestyle Curation Team

The importance of the community curator program cannot be over-emphasized because it has been an efficient way of supporting authors on various topics and area of interest. Tags are used to sort and curate quality posts that meet the standard practices on Steemit. By this method, it is transparent and beneficial to everyone no matter how little the vote might be.

Our team was selected again for the month of August and we are grateful for such trust on us from the Steemit team. We are going to perform better than we did last month in this August edition.

I appreciate everyone that supported us and encourage us with comments during the application process.It is important to note that I appreciate all members of SteemAlive community where I serve as a moderator for their good wishes as well as the support from Steemkids.

Our team is called the SteemCor07 (Lifestyle Curation Team) which has @ashkhan as team leader and six other members namely @deepak94 @f2i5 @juzkid @marlyncabrera @mrsokal and @samuel20. As you can see,we all are from different countries and have supported the club initiative.We are going to support quality posts within this month of August across all the communities on Steemit.

Important Rules to follow so as to get Supported by our team

1.)Hashtags/Tags

It is important to note that we fetch and curate posts using hashtag.On a general note,the five compulsory tags should be clubstatus,theme hashtag,steemexclusive and your country.The theme tags for our curation team are: #food #travel #health/ #fitness #leisure #gardening/ #garden #sports #lifestyle so endeavour to use any of the theme hashtag which corresponds to what you have written.For example if I have written a post about health,then my first 5 tags would be #club75 #health #steemexclusive #nigeria just like that.

2.)Club Status

This is an important considering in our team curation.A user must be in either club5050 club75 or club100 to get support from our team.The higher the club,the higher the vote.See a sample of what I mean👇

Club	Vote Mana
Club100	gets 50% vote
Club75	gets 40 vote
Club5050	gets 30% vote

3.)Quality of Post

Post to be curated after satisfying the other conditions must be of good quality.It must be atleast 300 words with justify alignment and correspond to the theme hashtag used.For example if I wrote about food and I used #sports as the theme hashtag.The post won't get attention.

4.)Other Rules

Among other rules.Posts must be steemexclusive-which means that it has not and would not be posted in another platform apart from Steemit.Plagiarism of any form would not be tolerated.Images must be owned by the author or properly sourced if gotten from another source.Use of bid-bot wouldn't be tolerated and CSI must be atleast 5%.

5.)Image Guide

If you must use an image that does not belong to you. Then this sites can help you to get free images.
