Steem tip #1: All users who create unique and high-quality content should join the @qurator guild and get roughly $1 votes on your posts every day

Greetings everyone! Today I’m going to start with the first post in a new series about my best tips for making the most out of Steem / Steemit. As you are all aware, I generally write about science and nature, but lately I have noticed that many of my followers are very new users. For this reason I wanted to write a few post in a new non-science series where I share my best tips and tricks with you guys, and hopefully you can all earn some more money on this platform.

If you don’t care for this type of content, but just want to read my science content, that’s fine! Just ignore these and wait a little longer. I will keep posting a new biology or ecology post every day, and these Steem tip posts are just added bonuses. So close this post if you don’t care about or need to learn more about Steem(it), and we’ll talk later instead.

Joining Hive account@qurator and get paid for every new post you make

Not many people have heard of the Hive account@qurator guild, so I hope to spread the word with this post. What it basically is, is a guild that curate quality posts made by its members. It will find 5 post every day that will be featured in a daily post, as well as one post every day that will get resteemed. However, the best part is that all members get an upvote when they create a new post, but limited to one every 24 hours.

The daily upvote is currently worth between $0.23 for tier 0 members, and $2.10 for tier 5 members, and somewhere in between for the rest of them. To go to a higher tier you need to delegate Steem Power, but any member can actually get to tier 2 without delegating anything, giving them $0.93 upvotes for all their posts! Keep in mind that these values changes all the time, and depends on Hive account@qurator’s Steem Power, as well as their Voting Power.

How to become a member of the Hive account@qurator guild

If you want to become a member, you need to send 2 Steem or 2 SBD to Hive account@qurator with your username in the memo field. It might seem a bit expensive, but I am sure most of you who have been leaving comments on my posts have at least 2SBD by now! When this is done the Hive account@qurator moderator team will review your account to see if your posts are of high enough quality, and will either accept you as a member, or deny you (but give you a refund).

Before applying, you should follow this link and read the entire post from @qurator’s moderator team regarding signing up. And check out the requirements below!

Requirements

As of right now the requirements are that your account must be two weeks old, and have a minimum of 10 posts. This is the minimum, but you also need good content, or else you will be denied. You can read the entire review process in the link above, but to sum it up you need high quality, original content that is legal, as well as image sources if you didn't photograph it yourself.

Don’t forget to upgrade from tier 0 to tier 2

As mentioned above, there are different tier ranks for the Hive account@qurator members, and all members are actually tier 0 by default. This if fine, but the upvotes for this group is very low. However, anyone can upgrade to get to tier 2 without much effort, and all you need to do is upvote Hive account@qurator’s post 7+ times each week. This will get you into tier 2, and you roughly $1 upvotes on each daily post you make! For more detail, check out this post about tiers.

Will you be joining Hive account@qurator?

I wrote this post because I have been a member for a long time, and have even delegated some Steem Power to the project to get me to tier 5. This nets me pretty nice upvotes every 24 hours, and for someone who posts daily this is a lot of money! I estimated that I earned back the 2 Steem/SBD registration fee a long time ago, so it’s totally worth the investment in my opinion.

I hope those of you who create good content will consider applying, because I really like this project, and hope to see it grow. Anyway, thanks for reading, and don't forget to check back later today to see the latest science post!
