The same rules applies to curators as everywhere else. Create unique content. At the end of the day, the internet is about nothing else.

Offer reasonable information, based on facts. Be neutral. Be honest and authentic. Subjective game/product impressions in reviews don't help anyone. It's about money and purchases.

Depending on what options you have, link the curation to social networks, chats or your own website. But it's no must. Try to work with your growing community and don't force them to do things they don't like, it always goes wrong.

And it's not you who decides whether something was good or not. It's the people who rate your content and join your group who decide that - and that's where you have to start every time to improve yourself.

Get your friends to join your group. Having only you in the group doesn't really help your visibility or searches for your group. I mean, you can't even manually search a group with less than 50 non-limited members in it.

The other day I saw a thread with a guy asking why his group doesn't show up in the search. So that's the reason?

Well, maybe you should tell someone to fix that.

This was done intentionally. It is not a bug.

Plus, there are many other users that asked support and they responded with the exact same thing.

Know your audience. Decide who you want to attract with your content and shape your page according to that image.

[Start_Running]

Decide on a niche.
Pick a genre, a subject, something that you can focus on.

First Person Grid Based Dungeon Crawlers
Build Engine games
Non-COnventional Dating Sims
Kaiju Games

Something more than. 'games I think is good'

Honest opinion? You need to do something useful in order to people follow you.

Steam is filled with useless curators (especially those generic reviews using AI), but there are some useful reviews specialized in a subject.

Ex: "Games at risk of removal", "Sentinels of the Store", "Great on Deck" and "Previously Free on Epic".

You have to sound like a bored flippant hard done to lazy teenager. Also show disdain and contempt in equal measures. Make noises that no human would make and try to be oh so cool all the time.

That should keep you going for a while.

In short, it's a popularity contest. If you're not popular, it doesn't matter how useful your information is; you won't have the visibility to start with. You may have to attempt to "build your audience" outside of Steam first. But before you do that, ask yourself what your end goal is. If you're just out to try and get free games, know that you're going to need to invest in buying games to review first -- and not just one or two, but a lot. You're not going to get complimentary games from legitimate developers until you've proven you've got an audience they're interested in. Keep in mind this is generally in the high two to three digit thousands depending on your "niche".

Also, for those outside the US, you have to keep in mind that regional limitations of the store also affect curators. That is, curators cannot interact with any game not available in their region.

The idea of me starting the curator is exactly that the market is full with people that use AI or just copy text from the game and i watched a few indie game developers that ...well pretty much they send the games and they didn't do anything. My idea is to help the game developers get an honest review because i like video games but don't have the knowledge to make them myself so this is for me the way to help them.

I'd like to help you by telling you to
ask them devs if they want your help....

sounds like you just want free games...
and we all know how credible people
that want free games are when it comes
to curating....
