Our role as curators for The SteemTrail Team Music Category is primarily to find and curate good music posted by Steemit members.

Our goal is to help new users by curating their posts much like the Curie Project @curie and the RobinHood Whale Project @robinhoodwhale.

Early recognition for good content will help new users establish a following and get recognition for well written posts. Though music is a unique category and not exactly the same as the written word, there are some guidelines that will help your post get noticed and selected. 

## <center>SteemTrail Guide For Posting Music </center> ##

- Stories involving personal experiences and unique commentary about the music you are posting will make your post stand out from posts that just contain a link to a YouTube video.

- Any images used must be credited to their source, even if the image is yours. If the image is yours, just say so at the bottom of your post. If it's not, then give credit with a link to its source. 

- **For example:**

would look like this: [Image credit](https:google.com)

- Telling us what the music, song, band or performance you are sharing means to you, or what it reminds you of, or why you're sharing it will help you connect with readers and increases your chances of getting selected.

- Use ***music*** as the first tag on your post...
-  ... if the song is original, meaning you wrote it, use **originalmusic** as the first tag and **music** as the second tag. This will allow The SteemTrail Team to curate your post for the originalmusic category.

- New users will be given priority for selection to help them get established on Steemit and build a following.
