1. The Mallard Mind (Original story)**
Author: @topkpop

A duck loses its memory and tries to figure out what it really is using an interesting process of elimination, like the most intelligent humans. @topkpop makes stars out of her own animals around the house and makes it into a simple but good short story.

Horror alert for those with arachnophobia - there is a spider in the story, although it is a short paragraph!

2. The Ultimate solution To Never Giving Up
Author: @stbrians

In this post @stbrians urges anyone who wants to give up to try harder and never give up come storm or high water. It's a great post for so many right here on Steemit who may like to give up but so very soon.

Don't give up when success is just round the corner - you can't see it but it is so close!

3. How to Market and Sell Your Produce
Author: @greenshiner

!

Although this post is meant for farm owners, it can apply to any area of business - marketing is universal. It takes you through all the steps including knowing your market, how to break down numbers like a pro and some useful tips in marketing. Like everything, high quality ensures a lead for your product in the marketplace.

In fact, the author, at the end of the post, touches upon premium pricing for high quality and premium products.

4. The Blockchain Explained to Dummies - Drone Analogy
Author: @fapfap

How many users on Steemit really understand what a blockchain is? I bet not too many.

In this post, @fapfap breaks down the complex into simple and drives home the meaning of a blockchain using the analogy of drones. Now that would make it really easy to understand the blockchain!

5. Enhancing My Blog: Creating My Steemit Banner
Author: @konmogelijk

For those who think that creating a banner is very difficult, @konmogelijk makes it look easy in this short post. Follow her steps to make a banner for you blog in this useful how-to article. She also gives a visual representation as seen in the image to make it simple to understand.

Congratulations To The Featured Authors!
