I would pay for illustration services on my posts. I just don't care enough about finding good stock photos with no copyright issues to do this well and that may not change. Others excel at this. I want to be able to hire them. I would consider offering editing and proof-reading services.
I'd love a way to automatically pay a percentage of post earnings to collaborators.
You can always pay people to collaborate. It's just finding those who you work well with that is the trick.
That's cool! I'm still figuring some things out, but I suppose the next step is to make some proposals to people I think I'd like to work with. Hurdle gone. Yes! Thank you!

I say "SMART CONTRACTS do precisely that!" See my blog post (https://steemit.com/steemit/@mark-waser/less-than-hack-ether-camp-greater-than-a-4-week-virtual-hackathon-to-build-out-steem-tools-1st-prize-usd50-000) where my idea for the hackathon was to "Crush Ethereum with Smart Contracts on Steem".
@klye is offering paid illustration. Check out his post here. I have already commissioned him to do some of his hilarious cartoons for a post I'm going to be doing and he takes payment directly in SBD - he's quick too.
Thank you, @cryptofiend! I'll definitely get in touch with @klye. Sweet!
