You can put your Steemit link over the top of any web page you share, here's some examples I just created:
CNBC: http://clclp.me/4DAh
The Guardian: http://clclp.me/4DAi
Sydney Morning Herald: http://clclp.me/4DAj
Why is this useful?
It allows you to curate the web inside your Steemit posts without sending the reader away to another site on which you have no presence. Basically, they are reminded that they found the page due to your curation efforts and are more able to click back to Steemit and upvote you if they like what you found for them.
Obviously, posting a load of links without your commentary isn't going to be good curation, but done right with your thoughts, curation can be a very valuable contribution.
How to do it?
1. Go to https://www.cliclap.com/ and create an account.
2. Create a new clip.
3. Input the URL that you'd like to direct people to (I used my main blog page on Steemit) plus the call to action text.
4. Create a new post and input the page url that you wish to curate.
5. Copy the short URL to share.
6. Post that sucker!
