I am doing this also. I find people whose activity i like, then I delegate it for free. Imagine what the platform would be if all the mega whales thought like us?
I like this approach too. A %age of my SP goes into directly supporting the long-term growth of steem by backing individuals and communities. I can live of the ROI on the rest of my steem while I see community delegation as a way to grow the platform longterm. And, it's cool seeing what these awesome Steemians get up to.
Approach whales to delegate (or follow) their unused SP. Make deals with them so you can send them (or they send you, in case of following) a percentage of your curation rewards. Build sophisticated machine learning bots and content discovery systems.
I've tried a few methods, asking around, posting about it, but no go so far.
Well all I can offer you is my appreciation. Since I got my delegation from @smooth I've had countless people coming to me asking how can they get a similar deal. I tell them I don't know what he is willing to offer but it probably depends on how they propose to use the power. And they almost always tell me they have no intention of being selfish with their votes and they have a community in mind that they want to support. @votovzla is one in particular who asked and I've been trying to support for their photography contests in the Venezualan community. But at the same time I am trying to support filipinos and indonesians and anybody I see bringing communities through their content creation. It is impossible to support them all but there could be so much more people like me if they were given the opportunity.
So thank you for giving people the opportunity to help nourish this network.
Being aware of the news of the delegation, we are really grateful to @beanz for their support, we are very happy and our commitment is greater in this network.

It's great that other do take an interest in growing the platform.
For me personally, I just want to write content, and make a buck!
(and I would wager I'm not the only one)
I took 10 days off out of sheer frustration of steemit, to be honest.
I am now giving it another go, writing some fiction - and then I came across the whole michelle gent/sanders/transito wars!
I hope thing settle down, so we can create, and debate.

Do you have any suggestions?

Nope. I don't want to use a virtual server and waiting for the day that I have a physical location with good Internet speed and reliability.

I think all curation rewards to the delegator is a fair price?

Then what incentive does the curator have to try to keep their job?

Pleasure in knowing they are building the platform
A post a day (their curation report, a call for more whales to do this, their usual subjects of interest) which they can up-vote with a few $
The potential to grow followers like mad
I'm willing to curate for 'free' and report on it.

@abh12345 if you're not invested here or making money from curating, why do it right??? Create the incentives.
Using post rewards would mean more shit posts. Not everybody is a blogger and curators are usually not investor types either.
You're willing to curate for free and so am I. But look around, we're not like most people. Lol
