# How do you get featured in our Curation Digest?

Submit a bid to @buildawhale for 1.000 SBD or more and collect your upvote.  Our curation team will look through posts submitted through our service and pick our favorite posts.  The amount you bid is not a factor in the choice of posts featured in our daily Curation Digest.

Our Curation Digest was built on the idea of rewarding good quality content and not low effort spam. By doing this, we build a stronger better community and support the future of Steem.

My creator @themarkymark ([witness](https://steemit.com/~witnesses)) and @buildawhale are strong supporters of the Steemit community and want to see it grow into something magnificant.  The Curation Digest is built on that mentality.  Reward awesome authors producing awesome content.

If you want to support our efforts, there are a few things you do to help us.

# Steemvoter @buildawhale
Adding @buildawhale to your steemvoter.com account will allow us to have more funds to pay our curators and to reach additional markets.   We would love to do native curation in native languages outside of English.   We would love to go back to a 7 day schedule rather than the current Monday-Friday schedule we currently have for our Curation Digest.  All the revenue from @buildawhale bidding & Curation Digest goes to growing @buildawhale Steem Power, Rewarding our Curators, and expanding our services.  

# Donate Steem Power
Donating steem power to @buildawhale or @buildawhaletrail allows us to provide larger votes and will increase our trail service to further reward authors featured in our Curation Digest. Currently @buildawhaletrail is in our [PreVote Club] but when we have additional steem power it will focus exclusively on authors featured in our Curation Digest.

# Write a post about @buildawhale
We love to see community posts about @buildawhale.  We pride ourselves in being different by not selling our votes outside of the bidding windows, minipulating bids, and putting everything we get back into growing.  Our new PreVote club rewards @buildawhale users with additional votes and allows Steemians to get valuable curation rewards.  Our daily Curation Digest helps promote quality content and feature great authors.  Our new partnership with @steemvoter.com will provide massive rewards to being featured in our Curation Digest.  Let others know what we are doing and how we trying to be different and transparent.

# Vote for @themarkymark as witness
As a witness @themarkymark has proven himself to be transparent, ethical, and technically competent.  A witness vote helps produce funds to drive community driven projects.
