Could You Be A Steemit Editor?

There are many men and women using steemit these days, myself included, who are not exactly the most technically minded or gifted individuals but who enjoy the platform and want to be successful going forward.

We all know that a big part of having a successful blog here is in the presentation quality of posts although this is of course no guarantee of success in itself.

Markdown, uploading images, spelling, grammar, referencing sources and including banners and page dividers etc. There are so many aspects to putting together a well presented post that for some it can be quite daunting and I can say from my own personal experience that for those of us that are technically deficient, learning how to do these things is not easy either.

As I often say, my brain is just not wired that way.

In my short time here, I have seen many posts that are extremely well written and thoughtful yet terribly presented and have been overlooked in my view as a consequence.

I would like to suggest that those who are able make themselves available to those who are not.

I would like to suggest that some of us become editors and offer our services to anyone who wants it by agreeing to edit, by way of formatting and presentation etc, the posts of others in exchange for whatever it is you would like to use as a means of exchange.

For example, if I had something to say that I thought was important but which may be overlooked due to my poor presentation skills and I wanted to improve it's chances of being seen and shared with others, I might ask you to have a look at it and see if you could present it in such a way that will enable it to be so. For this I might offer you a fair share of the posts rewards in return.

I'm not sure if this is something that already exists on steemit but if it doesn't I would imagine it could be a good idea and be successful for some people.

Obviously, I would encourage everyone to learn as quickly as possible for themselves how to do all of these things but while the platform is still small and a little tricky to get the hang of for some, I would suggest that this could be a useful stop-gap until such time as new users are up to speed. I also think it could improve the quality of posts overall on the platform.

I am always open to the possibility of being wrong though, especially when I speak with so little knowledge on a subject and always willing to admit when I'm wrong, so please let me know if this would in fact be a bad thing or if there is anything I haven't considered.

Thanks a lot for your time and I hope everyone is having an excellent day! :[)
