I was asked to be a curator for Curie but I just find it hard to dive into the ocean to discover rare species. I'm seeing the same old thing and I have high standards just as Curie. And there's a penalty if my submission won't be approved. However, I'm going to share some tips for my followers and some creative writers out there who also want to experience those rewards. I'm just gonna let you guys be discovered.

If you just like to write freely anything, then that's even better! At least you won't get attached to money. So you can quit reading now and just enjoy writing for the love of it. However, being discovered by Curie also means you will get more exposure and followers.

My early success was due to some of my writings being discovered by Curie, you can check some of my earlier posts and see for yourself. My only important advice is to

BE YOURSELF

It was definitely high times for me and I just enjoyed it until it lasted. Now, unique content or not, I'm no longer qualified due to my reputation score. But I'm happy enough to have undying support from some of my followers. But let's give a chance to others, shall we?

If you are still new and with reputation >25 && <= 52, good news! You are still qualified. But what does it take to be discovered by Curie?

(Curie's rules! Mine is - be yourself, write about anything!)

1. Write unique content - too many quality content out there just being recycled (success, cryptos, be positive, travel with me, how-to topics no more!) most don't even make it to the top. Writing unique content is the key. Now, what is unique? This is pretty subjective but maybe I can give some advice, you can check out my posts, these are my life and travel experiences, totally irreplaceable! If you don't travel, you can check out @anarchospace, @snowmachine content, those are unique. Lessons from movies and books, creative writing, designs and art. Go out and get a life! Try something different in your life then write about it. The content should be providing some value to the community. Definitely no copy-pasta, this is pretty basic!

2. No bots! - I was not using bots before and I stopped using these vote bots now because I don't want to just recycle the same money I earned back to a post. Your content has to be so good but undervalued within the first few hours in order to be discovered. Write a super content and just let it be, and trust the universe will find it.

3. More words than pictures - if you check my earlier posts, I have more words than pictures. And those earned big rewards. I have crappy photos but my writings make up for it. So If you travel, don't just post pictures. It's too easy to just buy a camera and just post a bunch of pictures here. Photography is also discoverable but it has to be exceptional. Words are more important. Hint: life lessons, unique experiences. If you are a talented designer or a video editor, then that would be discoverable too.

4. Topics NOT to write about - No politics, talking about politics when you travel might even get you into trouble. Post about politics if you don't mind getting trolled by the brave members. No Steemit topics as there are other plenty of things to write about - be creative.

5. Properly Formatted - I always proofread my posts and all are formatted properly. I might have some small mistakes here and there but I make sure all my posts look professional. All photos are mine and I sometimes put images from the web. If I do, I make sure to put the image source below just to be safe. Try to go over your article many times before posting it. If you really value your content/art then you will make sure it is flawless and presentable. It's the product of your mind and creativity, treat it like a masterpiece.
