SteemMakers is about helping others and each other. We aim to unite and support makers and DIYers on the Steem blockchain. In our spare time we have slowly built a small but active community, our website is in alpha and we are supporting steemians almost on a daily basis. We're on a roll and our work is starting to get noticed which is even better for the Steem authors.
SteemMakers is just a newborn. We're a small group of enthusiasts trying to unite around our passion. We care about every SteemMaker and we try to support good content creators by voting on their content and featuring it on our website. A lot of good content gets snowed under on other Steem blockchain frontends such as steemit.com and busy.org. As a result your carefully crafted blog post about your nice work disappears into oblivion after a week. We believe that it's not only about the money and the first couple of days of attention, but also about the engagement and the content. Even though it is not possible to reward you for it on the blockchain after 7 days doesn't mean nobody should know about what you created and how. Others can still learn from it or get inspired by it. Readers might find you an interesting author to follow, but if they never find your post in the first place that becomes really hard. That's why our selection gets featured on our website, and stays there to be easilly found, and not just during a couple of days.
"Steem is a blockchain-based rewards platform for publishers to monetize content and grow community." is a quote straight from the steemit.com website. Let's be honest: we all like to be rewarded for our work somehow. Steem offers the possibility to be rewarded financially and we try to contribute to that. We are convinced that our modest contribution helps to keep authors motivated and keep creating content on the Steem blockchain. All blog posts that get featured on our website also get a vote from the SteemMakers community account.
Delegating is not the only way in which we help the vote of SteemMakers stand out. Third party services exist that allow you to follow the SteemMakers voting, practically allowing you to vote on the same content as we do. Following a trail is beneficial for both parties. It increases the support SteemMakers can give and when you follow you automatically vote on quality posts that might receive bigger votes later on which increases your curation rewards. 
Unfortunately SteemSTEM just announced they are taking a break. SteemSTEM is a community strongly associated with quality. SteemSTEM, just like
