This is the fourth issue of The Daily Steem! Its all about what's been happening at Steemit, a rundown of the big accounts, the trading activity, hot posts, and anything else I can think to add at the time. I'm looking to improve this report by adding more data etc...but it really depends what people want to see, so if you enjoy it please give me feedback ( @moneybags ) on how to improve it.

Before I go any further, I would like to thank those who supported the previous issue of The Daily Steem, @schererf @steppingout23 @sulev @inber @masteryoda . One day I will repay the support in spades, but until then all I have to offer is new versions of the publication. Cheers to you all

You'll need a large account to score well in curation rewards though, as whales beget whales here.

What Activities Generate the Most Steem?

Well hands down the answer is authorship, writing blogs is key if you want to grow in the community, but on top of just publishing content, you also need to grow your own power, network, and community in order to have people help curate your posts towards the Hot and Trending areas where most of the magic happens. So keep on blogging, even if you aren't getting traction, you will, hang in there!
