Make your posts based upon topics of your interest and see how things go
The problem is not to create the content but the problem is that how will I create a content that will attract curators here.
Most topics are not well curated.

Yeah, no doubt. I think it was @topbooster that recently did an analysis of my voting. All my voting on this account is manual. You're looking at hours of manually reading, voting, and monitoring daily. In his analysis, I voted almost 800 times during the period of his analysis, downvoted about 34, and unvoted once.
@onealfa, correct me if I'm wrong, also cannot get to every article on the multiple platforms where he curates. It's just not possible man. Now, a lot more people are starting to tag me on their posts. I'll tell you right now that doesn't help get my curation. I can't change how I curate right now because it is the best way I know to check for quality and fraud.
I don't know, but I DO know what I have done that IS working for me.
I started voting for posts that enlightened me in the stem community. My career is stem based and will remain so until my retirement. It was an easy area I found I could participate comfortably. I wrote to the authors on questions I had or complimented them on the content they created. I went outside my comfort zone into other areas on Hive and did the same thing.
I think what that did was to get people to remember me. It was fun. I started loving the engagement. I have more followers now and I receive better curation. If I continue at this pace, eventually I will make something tangible from this endeavor. Other than just creating more content more frequently, I feel like this is the only path forward for me.
Nailed it! I also curate manually. And I do feel like I am not getting to everyone that I would like to get to each week and it can be frustrating but that is what comes from manual curation. It is a labour of love. I am trying to refine my own curation process. I know I can get to quite a few of my favourite authors by curating WOTW, The Inkwell, and Creativecoin (although this latter tag is used rather loosely these days lol) and get to some newcomers this way too. I curate for Dreemport too which gives me exposure to a different set of people. Then I also read some Wednesday Walk (great personal perspectives and insights into local culture, religion, food and regions), Ladies of Hive (contests and articles of interest to women (and men!), Splintertalk (I'll definitely look for more of Splinterlands content on the characters though now that you mention it - I have read one or two of their articles and they are well written) and have a shortlist of faves that I always check in on as I love their work. Some authors that I really enjoy I can only get around to every 2 weeks but if I find I have missed something really good, I will engage anyway and if they respond, I will upvote their comment instead ;-) I have found some authors along the way where I have managed to upvote them indirectly in the comments through engagement even though their articles are sometimes months or even years old. I have my own monthly contest to support new Hivers and pick up a couple of new people to follow there too. So if a newbie enters my contest I will check them out! If I enter a contest I will also curate some or all of the other entries to that contest (depending on volume) in an attempt to diversify my reading and author base and spread the author rewards more evenly. I also use the !PIZZA and !LUV tags to give additional tips to posts I particularly like (see what I did there lol). Hopefully, this comment also helps others to see that there is no single magic recipe and I found that the key to enjoyment on Hive, be it as an author or curator, is engagement, meaningful engagement. If you truly love what you are doing and are genuinely engaged in conversation about things that pique your interest or ignite one of your passions then the conversation will flow, connections will be made and relationships will grow over time. If you are new, I would enter contests, and start off posting in laid back communities like Wednesday Walk, Alive Tribe, Thoughtful Daily Post. I can have a look later and pull out a list of contests that will help to promote engagement with others in the community.

@scholaris.pob, you've been given LUV from @samsmith1971.
Check the LUV in your H-E wallet. (1/1)
Exactly sir, these things take time. One just have to patient, continue to improve on ourselves and find out what works for us.
ALOT of patience, but also respect. Some conversations I've read in discord channels showed that the best path forward was to be professional and respectful. You don't have to prostrate yourself to someone, just treat them like you would expect to be treated. There's still ALOT that I don't know about Hive. I have to remember that I don't always have the right answer or perspective on things.
I agree, most people came to hive and acts like someone owns them votes or anything.
I think the best thing is to just ignore such people.
Hive has provided a lot of opportunity for everyone, is now left for us to make best use of it.
The reason why they are not created is not because curators purposely neglected but there are so many content in this community and many people tag proof of brain because it allow every type of content so every poster post to prove or brain.
So there are two month contents to curate
I see a lot of comments like this one. Not to be rude, but it's a very subjective comment. What is "well curated" for your position? I would like to define that particular phrase for the community. I know people will have different values, but I think it's important to address.
@scholaris.pob
This is not about my position but facts
Being not well curated is not a crime for curatorsand am not criticizing anyone.
This is to the content creator for them to be week curated.
A content must be quality to some extent before it gets well curated so instead of just posting or creating many content and not get good curation due to the low content quality,instead take your time and design just a quality content and get well curated. That's better
Your words are true and I thank you for the engagement.
Thanks for understanding me
