A very good idea @steemisbeautiful.
But how many minnows can you advertise?
I have just written an article suggesting that the Steemit system should be improved.
Please check it out and tell me what you think.
I don't see it as advertising but more like promoting. As you can see there are no ads here. When we raise people up we lift ourselves up. Steemit was created to show off people, their talents, gifts, passions and life. People grow if they're able to share their life on a daily basis. If people come here to cut and paste other people's work they may feel ignored because steem isn't into other people's works but more on uplifting the individual steemer's shine.
I read your article and if people just come for the money in the beginning they may get frustrated . In the beginning all I did was read posts, curate, comment > to learn what steemit was about. It's nothing what what I thought it was. If you want to make money curating you must know the authors who have the best posts. 25% rewards are taken out for curation from the author's total after 7 days to give to the curators. Would you want more taken out of your post's rewards? To get a piece of the 25% rewards you must be an early voter. For example ... if you know steemisbeautiful post constantly makes good rewards you would want to be one of the first to vote so you would get a good percentage of the 25% total. How does a steemian know who the best authors are? What do you think?
In the beginning most will not make high rewards on their posts unless it has a lot of photos and text that are original and well written > credited > mashed up and credited. If people come here just to make money and not network or have a big following they will be disappointed. The successful steemers are the ones that get to know the community, networking, getting a good follower bast that are active in going to steemer's posts. Successful steemers have original posts and/or give credit to anything that is not their works. Read articles on good posts or go to the high paying posts to see what they do to create good content. It takes time to build up so don't be hard on yourself, chill and have fun with the community.
I've heard some steemians saying you can make a fast buck on steemit. Yes you can if you have a large following from another platform come to steemit. Most steemites work hard to be rewarded for their original works. I know for me it's made me a better blogger, improve my skills and give back to the community. For this I get blessed.
Very well said. Thanks for what you are doing.
My goodness I am humbled and grateful for your kind words. Thank you Nathan.
Very well said Indeed.
That was very insightful, but on the other hand, don't you think it would be great if the system is continuously improved to give high-quality writers a better chance?
It would be nice, but i really think that it will have to happen from the bottom up. If enough minnows find and upvote good content, then over time those content creators will rise to the top.
As I mentioned in the comments of this article, From my discussion with fellow Steemers, I can think of two solutions:
1- Make curation hierarchical. Expert reviewers should be presented with a filtered selection of good content. They should not waste their time searching for the needle in the haystack.
2- The system should be smart. It should learn what are the things that I am interested in and suggest those to me first.
Do you have any other suggestion?
Personally it baffles me how most people are worried about making money when they likely did the same thing on other social media for free.
I know I certainly did, albeit not in a blog-form but rather in a more argumentative comment-section one.
Maybe I'm ignorant, but personally I don't see anything wrong with how the payouts currently are. My only complaint would be to potentially make smaller fishes have more of a chance to become trending, even if it's in a separate "Trending new user posts" category. But that's only because I'm assuming the algorithm to those posts rather than having objective data on if it's reasonable to become trending as a tiny fish, so it could be a false-complaint as I simply don't understand how SP affects rankings and trending/hot potential.
I am not talking about money at all. What I am trying to say in this article is that good content is not reaching those who are interested in it.
I believe the system needs to be improved regularly to provide a better service. I mean Steemit is already great, but should that stop us from improving it continuously?
I claim that the distribution system especially needs to be improved. By distribution, I mean delivering the right content to the right people. Curation is an important factor in such a system.
I agree with you on that. There is something coming soon on the blockchain that should help. Keep posting your ideas and commenting. That is how steemit improves.
Yes I will look at this link. Thank you.

I take that as a compliment? thank you for checking out the 10 minnows on the list. I am sure they will reward you back if you let them know what you are doing for them.
Upvoted of course - already following as of yesterday. It's amazing to see such involvement with the community I have to say.
Good job, well done my friend.
Many thanks for the kind words. Keep in touch and if you have a photo of yourself and introduction you could be on steemisbeautiful too!
I just love the aspect of actually increasing your knowledge whilst being potentially rewarded for it by steem dollars. Kids should have incentive models to learn I swear!!!
I am glad you are stopped by to comment. The more you learn about steem the more you will grow to see that SteemIsBeautiful You will find there is more to love than you could imagine. Steemians that rise up in steemit are the ones that serve others and stay original to grow into who they were meant to be. I am so happy you could join us.
Thanks brother.

You sound like you have a wonderful post theme. Please contact me when you do an "introduceyourself" and if you could have a photo on it of yourself that would be great. Thank you for visiting our beautiful minnows on the list. You will be surprise at what you see and they will reward you back if you let them know what you did to reward them.
a wav is packed with energy, no energy = no life. #onthespotsessions
This is a great list of unknown Steemians to me. So many new cool people for me to follow!!
Yes they are a wonderful group of minnows. Thank you so much for visiting their posts and encouraging them. Thank you for the follow, too.
hope i get featured one day .. followed u ..
I look for posts that have mostly original works and credits works of others > An "introduceyourself" post and a photo of yourself helps a lot. Steem looks for steemers that love to show off their own works.
Nice! That bring values to steemit community.
I hope it does. It's all about the community visiting these new steemers... so I am grateful for your time rewarding our new members. I would like to recognize you please consider creating an "introduceyourself" with a photo(s). Let me know when you do on my latest post.
Awww, love it! Great idea keep it up!
I am glad you love this because you'll be on my next post. : )
Thank you so much for the mention! I have up voted this post. Have a wonderful day :)
Thank you for the upvote. I created this post so you and others could support one another. When you have time could you visit the others that one the list with you. Maybe I should have less people on the list. Do you think this is asking too much of people?
100% oversight on my part. I had check out some but never go back around to checking out the rest. Applepiedave’s memes distracted me!
As far as the amount I feel anything over 10 would be excessive. With that said it’s hard to set a min or max. There are many wonderful introductions and individuals out there. Some days could be slow, while others very busy.
With being so new and having to deal with being overwhelmed with as many helpful people as there are on this site. I think some will miss out on the networking opportunities that are presented to them. Some might not as well realize it’s in a good nature way to pay it forward and help out others who are starting out just like them. Not everyone is use to using social media and interacting so freely with a large group of people.
