We’re excited to announce an open process for applying to be Featured on steemit.com. We want to bring as much positive attention to great projects and content creators as possible. To that end we have created the following framework which is intended to minimize the work required on your end, while ensuring that your content is optimized for being Featured on steemit.com and enjoying the maximum benefit from that position.
TL;DR
Follow the format below and submit your copy at least 7 days prior to the day on which you would like to be Featured.
Format
Featured posts should be short, sweet and to the point. They should have roughly 3 sections that each serve an important purpose.
Section 1: The Steem Audience
The whole point of featuring content on steemit.com is to maximize its impact for the Steem audience. That’s why we recommend starting off with a brief paragraph that explains why your offering (whether it’s a new feature, competition, incentive program, etc.) adds, or has already delivered, unique value to the Steem blockchain ecosystem and its users.
E.g. “Thanks to this new feature, Steemians will enjoy an entirely new capability that increases their opportunities while decreasing their exposure to volatility.”
Section 2: Your User Base
Obviously your users are your #1 priority which is why we recommend that the second section in the post be dedicated to highlighting how Steem integration has added unique value for them.
Section 3: Call-to-Action
The final section should be your call-to-action where you encourage anyone consuming your content to perform an action which ultimately benefits your project, for example by visiting your website or promoting your project.
Grammar and Syntax
Featured posts are the most visible posts on all of steemit.com so we want to ensure that readers (for whom this might be their first exposure to steemit.com) are left with a positive impression of the site and its Featured content. For that reason, we request that your Featured post be reviewed for grammatical and syntactical errors before it is submitted for review.
We know you’ve probably got all kinds of information you want to expose people to, so you should feel free to insert links and references to this content while remaining within this format.
Application Process
Once you have done all of the above, e-mail a copy of the article to andrarchy@steemit.com at least 1 week prior to the time you would like to be featured. Please bear in mind that conforming to this process is a prerequisite for being featured, not a guarantee. We won’t be able to Feature every piece of content that is submitted, but we will do our best to provide feedback when beneficial.

google has the top 5 or 10 links 'featured' ... to them that means paid for ... they seem to be doing allright, i heard they got this thing called xrp they got something to do with and no one makes a sound but when Faceberg says i want one the whole E.U. is upside down :D ...
perception ... there's a need to make money or they can't hold out on selling forever .. a rich kid like that dan-dude can run 20 nodes from the spare change at the end of the day but a company like steemit has wages, fees, taxes, licenses and what not and they didnt even get to the point where they're big enough to be noticed by the ravenous mastodon the E.U. is ... china doesnt seem to have blocked them yet ... everybody wants a piece when there's enough zero's but my current worry is more like : who's gonna develop if emperor Steemit goes belly up ?
how many nodes out of how many are needed to take it all over ? what's the guarantee the most recent hero dan-something doesnt wake up one day on a bad hairday and decides to put that million on auto-negative and move on to other shores ... steemcleaners would have a field-day countering it and have nothing left to fight the holy war on content ... the price is under 13 cents at 1/3 of a billion rolling, what if there's 4 times that just like DOGE, will it be 1/50th ... why doesn't anyone ever consider the dangers downvoting represents, no one considers removing it for one second ... no one considers capping the supply or the fact that
you can NOT downvote someone's bitcoin
and they seem to be doing well
hate to be mister half-empty with the glass and all that but i feel a serious lack of realism and i would still like to see this thing succeed ...
?
who's gonna pick up development if steemit can't hold it (it IS a potential and growing realistic scenario, its not like you control the global market, the last dip showed that very clear and i have serious doubts about the powerups not coming from 'stale' liquid steem as the price doesnt budge up one iota so it doesnt feel like anybody's buying)
i really like the fact that there was a failsafe that prevented the billions-disaster on the last crash, it shows aptitude and the potential to foresight so where are the failsafes for all that
if anything it's okay if i'm the party-pooper but id say when someone calls a bomb-alert you need to be ready to evacuate and i hope some of the upper echelon here are not trying to hype for a pump-n-dump exit scam
i know, but im used to it
it doesn't pay to be the realist ...
(i TRY not to react but im having one of those days ...) bursting bubbles ? no, just one of those days .. featured & featured ... no compassion in the marketplace ... it needs money to surive and the only way to battle hyperinflation with burning and downvotes will be to increase the burning and downvotes ... ???!???
?
nevermind ...
