Well maybe it won't really save the bees, but you know what it will actually do? It will help support the longest running contest on the Steem Blockchain and make hundreds of musicians a littler happier, and if that is not enough to persuade you, it will also make you some extra Steem. How does that sound?

<h1>What trail? What am I talking about? </h1>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Back in the long gone days of <b>streemian.com</b>(its been a week, I know) the #openmic contest had amassed an impressive collective of accounts following @luzcypher 's votes around the Steemian landscape. This not only made for better rewards for musicians participating of the #openmic contest, but also, and just as importantly it helped many users collect curation rewards while they slept.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basically, because @luzcypher actually goes around curating quality content, people who follow his trail are more likely to make rewards from curating said content. How do I know this? Because I personally had been following the trail for months now, and saw the results myself. 


<h1>Is your upvote being put to good use?</h1>
 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you are sitting there with a VP charged up all the way to 98% you might be leaving some Steem on the table. Meaning, it really does you absolutely no favors to keep your upvote all the way charged, if you are not also making some curation rewards. In other words, with the way Steem and it's blockchain work, there are no curation rewards if you don't upvote. On the other hand, you don't want to be upvoting garbage posts, so....... How do we fix it?


<h1>Add your behind to a good trail</h1>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Of course I'm super biased. I for one found this platform and it's ability to nurture musicians as my own saving grace, but trails are not limited to music, and are definitely not limited to the #openmic, but I strongly think the @openmic trail is the best chess move out there.

<h1>Its so simple to join the trail</h1>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All you have to do is go to the <a href="http://www.steemauto.com">Steemauto.com</a> website, register your account and follow the trail under the @openmic. This account was setup by our beloved witness @ausbitbank to help support all the musicians who participate of the #openmic events happening every single week.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With over 20k Steem Power in delegation from amazing Steemians and altruistic whales like @fulltimegeek @ausbitbank this account is probably responsible for making more people smile than the most convincing Santa Claus inside a strip mall in the middle of December. You can be part of that philosophy of giving, that ethos of sharing, and also make some curation rewards.... how sweet is that?

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After you have added the @openmic as the trail you are going to follow, you can set you voting weight and you are good to go.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By default the @openmic account votes with a 10% setting, so if you chose scale voting, your vote would simply echo that, if not, you could setup the voting weight you find more fitting for your account.

<h1>And that is it!!!!! </h1>
