The steps that make this path concrete

Each step gives you a clear target and actions you can execute directly.

Step

Choose your curation niche

You can’t curate everything — become the expert of one specific aesthetic or universe.

  • List 5 styles or niches you’re passionate about (cyberpunk, architecture, articulated, kawaii...)
  • Choose a clear angle for your curation (style, use case, mood...)
  • Create a dedicated account or section on your site for that niche
  • Find 10 creators in this niche to watch closely
  • Make your first manual selection of 5 remarkable files or projects
2

Step

Publish your first curated selection

Turn your research into valuable content for others.

  • Design a visual or carousel to showcase your picks
  • Write a short explanation for each pick
  • Tag original creators respectfully
  • Publish your selection (Instagram, blog, newsletter, Discord...)
  • Get a share or comment from a creator you featured
  • Receive 1 message or comment of thanks or discovery
