I'm Starting a Curation Service! Upvoting at ~$62 - Submit Your Posts for a Chance to Be Featured!
Hey again! I've recently been pondering the creation of a curation service for all of my followers. My idea as of right now is that 3 of my followers' posts will be featured each day and each featured post will split my 100% upvote (33% each). I've also got my good friend @dividendgrowth on board to match my upvote (33% to each of the featured posters).
At 74,183 SP My 100% upvote is currently: ~38
At 44,870 SP @dividendgrowth's 100% upvote is currently worth: ~24
So How Does it Work?
This whole thing is brand new for me, so please bear with me as I try to set this all up and find the best way to do everything. Also, if you have any suggestions for making this better, please leave them in the comments or in the new discord channel!
All you have to do to get featured is the following:
- Write good content (bad or plagiarazied content will be removed from the list)
- Include the tag: #tkc in your posts. This will help me find your posts and include them in the drawing each day (TKC stands for The Kazi Collective. Do you think that's a good name? Let me know if you think of something better! 😉)
That's it! 3 articles will be chosen and featured each day and receive a 33% upvote from me and @dividendgrowth (approx. $21 upvote value) AND you'll be featured in a daily curation article that I will post on my blog @khaleelkazi.
OPTIONAL, but helpful steps:
- Be followed to me, @khaleelkazi
- Upvote the daily curation post (totally optional, but helpful in spreading awareness and greatly appreciated!)
- Also optional is to join my new discord channel. If you'd like to keep up with everything and chat in real-time, here's the link: https://discord.gg/DqgdQsD
The first curation post will be tomorrow, January 5th! Don't forget to post some great content with the #tkc tag to get your name on the list to be featured!
Why Am I Doing This?
I understand the struggle of not getting your content noticed on Steemit and I want to do my part to help promote great content on this great platform! I also read through many of your blogs when I have spare time and have found some amazing talent! I would love to get you guys more money and more exposure on Steemit for your hard work!
Again, please bear with me as I try to set this all up, if you guys have ideas to make this better, please leave them in the comments below or in the discord group. I want this daily curation to feature high-quality content and give the highest possible value back to the Steemit community.
My Steemit page started out as me just ranting about random subjects, and I want to keep doing that, but I also imagine this page turning into much more than just a blog. I imagine it as being a large community, full of great thinkers who share their insight and educate the world. I think this could be a great leap towards that vision and I hope you join me on this mission!
I hope to see you in discord! https://discord.gg/DqgdQsD

Wow! This is an amazing and generous idea/offer to the community. You continue to impress me with your vision.
I like the tag. Short and simple!
I can't wait to submit.
Thanks @sequentialvibe!! I'll check out your post! The 3 featured posts will be selected for the featured curation post tomorrow night. Thanks for all your support!
I couldn't wait so this motivated me to write something about mining for newbies. Thanks for the opportunity!

Certainly I will like to make a suggestion, It would be great if you curate in this manner
First you highlight the three article you want to curate, then judge to select the best out of them all, then give upvote according to the the first, second and third, that is, the upvote should vary
However, anyone who uses the #tkkc tag you can still look for a consolation post which is fairly okay maybe two or three and hand them like let's say 4$ upvote each
This is my idea, I'm @josediccus
Ahh so you're saying 1st 2nd and 3rd should get different upvote values? And then I should select a few other posts under the tag and give them a smaller vote as well? That's interesting @josediccus, I'll definitely think about doing that. Thanks for the suggestion!
I think this isn't a bad idea. Some consolation prizes. This could help you if you get overwhelmed with content and are finding it hard to pick winners.
Yeah, three upvotes are always better than a single vote. Also, it will keep motivated others who didn't win but managed to get a part of the pie.
Yes, I think I may do some smaller sized upvotes on a variety of other posts under the hashtag. Maybe ~10 small upvotes each day. I have a feeling that this daily curation will have to evolve as time goes on!
Yes that's my suggestion, I have been following you for a while now, you have the interest of new users at heart.
Thank you for this.
I love that I can help out! Thanks for your kind words and support, it means the world to me!
thanks Khaleel, I have done the same, added #tkc and also have been following you. great cause, great leadership to help out.
If you have any new posts or videos to help get setup with opening a gemini or bittrex and using an external wallet and to be safe, I would appreciate it. Matt
Thanks, I appreciate the support and kind words! I look forward to seeing your posts! Yes, I plan to do a post or maybe even a series of posts about wallets and security in crypto. I'll also add exchanges to that list (I use Binance, Bittrex and Coinbase if you were curious).
This is awesome Khaleel! I just followed you, and have a video I'm uploading tonight that I'll be tagging with #tkc. I appreciate you helping us out! Much love - Bryan
Thanks a lot @bryandivisions! I appreciate your support and look forward to seeing your video!! Much love back -Khaleel
great idea, thank you for doing this
It's my pleasure! Thanks for joining the discord as well! Glad to see you involved!
Hi, @khaleelkazi. Is your curation service valid only for new posts created after that announcement? Or we can add #tkc tag in our fresh (1-3 days) posts?
Hey @artz! For this first curation post (tomorrow), you can use 1-3 days old. Any curation post after this will require posts that are made within 24-48hrs of the curation article (I'm still deciding on 24 or 48 hours, so for now use 48 hours as the maximum time to be eligible). I'll keep you updated in future curation posts!
Very cool initiative I look forward to checking out your picks and I'll keep your tag in mind when posting next. I did put a new post put last night but didn't know about your tag then.
I'll check out your discord group too. We are just getting into using Discord and it's been useful at increasing engagement with other Steemians.
You could edit that post with the tag, if you wanted to. This first curation post will feature any submitted article within the last few days. Future curation posts will only accept posts within 24-48 hours of the curation time. I look forward to seeing you in Discord! I'm also pretty new at using it and am just learning the ropes, it's been very helpful so far!
This is a super generous initiative by you and @dividendgrowth.
Gonna be exciting. I shall get my friends on board :D
Thanks @danielwong! I look forward to seeing your posts and thanks also for joining discord! It's great to have your support!
I like the name and the concept, this is awesome!
Thanks @jakeybrown!
Random is good. It creates variety. #ktc is perfect and has a ring to it. I tagged a couple posts you can find there. Going into curating will be good for this whole community. We will grow together and challenge others to produce good content and may also bring new users to Steemit.
Agreed! Thanks for the support @mineopoly! I hope to continue to spread awareness to good content and encourage its creation on this amazing and life-changing platform!
