<h1>What is MakersPlace?</h1>
<p><a href="https://makersplace.com/?ref=steemit">MakersPlace</a> is a platform that makes it easy to create and sell unique digital creations, using blockchain technology. We believe the digital world of the future needs more empowered creators (artists, photographers, musicians and more). <a href='https://steemit.com/art/@makersplace/a-haven-for-digital-content-creators'>We’re helping creators</a> take full advantage of blockchain technology to better protect their work from day one, and ultimately make more money by enabling true ownership and scarcity of their creations. We also want to help get creators more visibility, by distributing their creations to our marketplace partners, and through our social media/newsletters.
