RE: Could Steem be a way to fund my art? Article: 1st month STEEM RECAP

in #steemit7 years ago

We also can have the control of our official sites too. One mistake, I don't know if I made it clear, was that as I was devoted to networks I neglected my own official website. So in all honestly mine is now a bit outdated, but I'm updated slowly and will try to make it work in synergy with steemit as soon as possible. So if I want to make an article now I have that "double motivation" that I'm doing it also for "myself". Of course I don´t to them exactly the same, and there is a lot of exclusive content here too but it motivates me. I am not complaining about the networks because as I say, their sites, their rules. They are companies, it's natural they do, but this harsh, quick way to disregard us (despite our long term commitment) was a bad move. I don't know if they will change their mind, but I think they will pay in reputation for this unfair decision. I hope they reconsider, but I will NOT consider these pages my ONLY options, they never were. I am a "creator" and I will be happy to share. So taking this as a new afresh start to a different community I had not connected with before, and encouragement also to keep on doing things :) Also I found, surprisingly that despite my initial fear, and MAYBE because everything stays in the block chain people tend to think twice what they write. And that is good. :) I will be checking later, what kind of art do you make? I do fantasy... talking about undervalued genres LOL :)

I do agree, YouTube's decision is not going to make them popular with creators...we will see what will happen! I can't really pick one thing I like to do, what I've shared mostly online are my paintings (mostly gouache animals and some food and musicians hehe, you can see them at @berrythiefstudios on Instagram), but I also cook a lot and share that, and I'm getting into music again, so...I'm just interested in creating and sharing it (even when I don't really feel like it) and seeing where it goes/takes me! I spend a lot of time planning/thinking about what would make something perfect to put online, and then nothing happens. It's just better to just create it and share it without overthinking.
