Welcome to the **111th** Edition of the **Daily Qurator**. Below you will find some awesome members of @qurator that worked hard to post some good quality content for all you awesome Steemians to enjoy!
 
The @qurator project was created to help give Steemians some extra exposure and awesome upvotes currently worth around $0.12 - $1.05!
 
**Note:** some of you have been curated twice since the start of the daily qurator and some have been curated only once. As the Daily Qurator is gaining fame with every passing day, many new steemians are asking/will ask to join us. So, expect to see posts from new users for now. When the opportunity arises, posts from older users will be curated once again

[Increase Your Earnings, Meet The Whales/Explanation Inside- How To Use It](https://steemit.com/steemit/@criptomaster/increase-your-earnings-meet-the-whales-explanation-inside-or-how-to-use-it)
Do you follow and read some of the posts that are in the “trending” and “promoted” tags? Do you see the pay-outs there? What are your thoughts?
@criptomaster has some suggestions on how to use these posts to your advantage and maybe, just maybe, get in the sights of a whale. But there are good and bad to using this strategy; see what they are and if it's something you can use.
>I believe that the whales are important to the improvement of this community. However, I believe that some people can abuse of that, become harder for someone get into the hot or trending topic

[My Love Letter To Bitcoin. May You Rest In Peace](https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@mike314-0005/my-love-letter-to-bitcoin-may-you-rest-in-peace)
Such a heartfelt letter to Bitcoin. Love letter?Or Dear John? You decide...
>My Dearest Bitcoin
It's been 16 months since we first met.
I felt a little shy...

@mike314-0005 opens his heart, spills his feelings and... better have a tissue ready for this one...
>I did cheat on you, though. Multiple times. Those younger cryptos were too attractive to resist. I even sold you to be able to have exciting adventures with brand new coins

Yes... many of us who don't have any photography skills have been here. We've written the best quality content article but have no personal images to share with the post. So now what?
Stop over at @zoltanbristol's post and see some websites that offer free images to use. BUT please make sure if you use any pictures that are not yours, to correctly cite the image(s) source in your post.
>Is it hard to get the perfect photos for your long written content? How do you find quality photos for your blog? If you are a writer and not a photographer, or you just need some high quality photos to support your article, you can find a lot of sources online, for free

[Why Am I Getting Less Steem Power Than My Posts Say I Should?](https://steemit.com/steemit/@boontjie/why-am-i-getting-less-steem-power-than-my-post-say-i-should)
What? My post earned $20.25... but my wallet shows a different amount? Why is that? If you're new to steemit this may have been a question you've had; but never had a real answer. Well, @boontjie is here to the rescue! Read this post to find out what is really happening and why.
>If you are like me you would have noticed that many posts indicate a payout of 10 SBD, but when the reward is received, the SBD portion is correct at 3.75 SBD, but the STEEM power is far less than 3.75 SP.
What is going on, why is this happening?

## <center>New Tiers Update </center>

<br>

<center>The latest Tiers update is out and updated. You can see the post [here](https://steemit.com/qurator/@qurator/qurator-tiers-and-upvote-weights-update-26-12-2017). </center>

## Streemian Trail Account is here! 

<br>

<div class="pull-left"><center><img src="https://steemitimages.com/DQmdMFoKsoRSCzK2ty4BR3ceqFE7BbfQBNrjLmX6vZ2sjhs/17.png" /></center></div>



You may have noticed that your upvotes from @qurator packed a little bigger punch! @scrooger and @ethandsmith  are now trailing the @qurator account and will be sending you some extra upvotes from our side as well. It's not much but every upvote counts! 

You can also follow the trail and send upvotes to fellow Qurator members when @qurator upvotes them. To set up a Streemian account only takes a few minutes and is a great way to earn some extra curation.



<center> You can follow this [GUIDE](https://steemit.com/howto/@scrooger/how-to-set-up-a-streemian-account-and-follow-curators-detailed-step-by-step-guide) to set up your Streemian account. </center>


<center>After setting up your account you can follow this trail on Streemian: </center>

<center>https://streemian.com/profile/curationtrail/trailing/817</center>

*We suggest **NOT** following the trail at 100% since we do not want to drain too much of your precious voting power.  Play around with your percentage and if you see your voting power being drained too much you can simply lower your % in Streemian. If you have a lot of voting power to spare you can consider a larger %.* 

If you need any help or have questions come visit our `#support` channel on Discord.
