When querying the database, *query the database*. It’s almost always more efficient to get the database to do the work than to do it yourself. For instance, if you need data from multiple tables, `JOIN` them instead of making separate queries and stitching them together in-memory. Particularly if you’re using an ORM, beware accidentally making queries in an inner loop. That’s an easy way to turn a `select id, name from table` to a `select id from table` and a hundred `select name from table where id = ?`.

In addition to cross-promotions with other creators, you can benefit from connecting with other curators. I would encourage you to start building these relationships, before you ask for anything. For example, I regularly reply to newsletters that I read, just to give my thoughts, share related content, and in general, build a relationship.
