The curation trail is a way for you to automatically upvote all the posts that MusicVoter upvotes. Remember MusicVoter is run by real human beings and is not a bot so you will only be upvoting high quality, music related posts.

You also need to become a "fan" of @MusicVoter so that you automatically upvote our posts too (normally one a day, occasionally two).

# Setting Up The Curation Trail

- Go to [Steem Auto](https://steemauto.com) and click on "LOGIN/REGISTER".

## Curation Trail Recommended Settings
- If your SP (Steem Power) is less than 50 then I would recommend you set the voting weight to 100% fixed and then go to the dashboard and set your "Limit on voting power" to 95%. The reason for this is that you won't have much voting power and if you set the values much lower then you are in danger of not getting any curation rewards at all. Once your SP goes up you can start to reduce these numbers. At least by having such high settings you should get a few payouts per day even if you are not upvoting that many posts.

- If your SP is above 50 then you can start to reduce both values. I haven't figured out the best settings for every level of SP but a good tip is to use [SteemWorld](https://www.steemworld.org) to figure out what percentage pays out at least $0.01 by sliding the curved bar with your mouse. You can then use that percentage in your fixed upvote percentage setting.

![Screen Shot 2018-04-21 at 12.04.30.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmU2sjMhRBrHsjU4KFt9L7G1PmRuS9RDxqnWaV5JGxLxUx/Screen%20Shot%202018-04-21%20at%2012.04.30.png)

Please leave the "weight" as the default of 100% so you upvote @MusicVoter's posts 100% and help it grow.

## That's it!

Here is an older video taking you through the process but it does not recommend the same settings as above as I have been learning more since doing the video.
