4 .BECOME A CURIE CURATOR
Curie is an organization on the Steemit platform that upvotes promising authors that publish high-quality posts on Steemit.

If you like writing articles, but don’t think you can build up a following quickly enough, then maybe you should consider writing articles for other people. There are users on the Steemit platform with a lot of STEEM Power to play with, but have very little content to dish out to their followers.
One example of this is another organisation on Steemit known as, A.D.S.A.C.T.L.Y or Autonomous Decentralized Society Acting Cooperatively to Leverage You. The whole purpose of ADSACTLY is to put people with a certain skill set to work, and reward them for it.

However, it’s not just article writing that ADSACTLY rewards you for, you can also be rewarded for being an editor. In short, if you can find some way of adding value, chances are, ADSACTLY will pay you for it.
