Content is King👑👍. This is the first and foremost requirement for content to be rewarded. A unique, Innovative, interesting and valuable content seeks much attention.
The second most important thing according to me is having a reputation, engagement and following in the community. Because unless people don't know you or able to see your content, how they gonna curate it. That's why we need to build relationships and friendship around, increase your followers, interact with other curators and authors, this takes some time though but that's the way you prove yourself worthy and committed to the community.
Then comes consistency and active participation in community growth. Try posting daily or 5 posts a week, participating in contests, community growth and engagements. But remember to focus on quality then quantity. Be Honest and keep trying something new and interesting with your content. Another tip is to invest in the community to gain more confidence around, be a curator yourself. Patience and Perseverance is the key. 😊👍
