RE: Selling digital goods on steem – my first e-book for sale

in #steemleo5 years ago

Dear @achim03

Finally I found some time to catch up with steemit and read your recent post. I wonder if you even still check comments under this publication. I hope you do ;)

You've mentioned community of affiliate marketers (CTP tribe). Is it worth to follow this tribe? Any idea if they have their own HIVE and/or who is behind this project?

Affiliate marketers need to create content that can be found in search engines. On steem it is very easy to create content

Creating content is one thing. Attracting right traffic and solid audience targeting is even more important. And steem is perfect for that.

In addition to that, interfaces like steemit.com have a great alexa ranking and are well structured in terms of SEO.

I remeber you wrote a post last year about Steemit and SEO. And you said that that time that post need to have some min $$$ in rewards, so nofollow status will be "friendly" towards google bots. Any idea how does it look right now?

Selling via Steem

I like idea behind shop.steemleo.com - however I'm not sure how to pay taxes if we're receiving STEEM for our goods sold online. This is major reason why I'm don't see real businesses doing it yet.

Upvotead already :)

Hi my friend,
Thanks a lot for your great comment.

Yes they have their own community but it's a tribe not a hive: https://www.ctptalk.com/

The person behind this project is @jongolson.

Honestly I don't know whether this has changed in the meantime. I think it would be necessary to scan through the posts and look if there is still this threshold.

I believe that as long as the sales are not more than a couple of dollars worth, the taxes won't come running. Since customers pay in steem or leo, I think it can be considered like the rest of the income we manage to generate on steem. I also think that this varies a lot from one country to another.

Have a nice time and thanks a lot for purchasing the e-book ;-)

Best regards,
Achim
