Now is probably one of the best time for content creators. No longer do you have to give your work away for free and hope to get an audience before you can make some pennies from an ad or two. With sites like steemit and steem leo you can get paid for your work from the start of your content career and still work your way up to bigger payouts with ads and other traditional types of payment while still getting paid in crypto on top of it.

The market has been bad the last couple of weeks but it looks like things are starting to pick up. And when things move they move fast in this world. If this is the next bull run start we might see a big leap in steem any day now and you will want to have earned as much steem as you can.

The problem with content creators has always been one of feast or fathom. Either you started to make to make it big and make a lot of money or you spent months (even years) putting up your work for free and hoping to make it. The problem was there was no living wage. This meant you had to work another job or two just to get by. This a problem that crypto can help solve. We are not there yet but the apps are out. 

And these sites also let you build your account doing what you like to do. You want to paint then paint. Blockchain is great for photographers and musicians. There is an audience on the internet for almost everything. Find common ground and build a community on a site that pays you for your time.

But you need to stop posting on sites that do not reward you and start supporting the sites that do. Steemit welcomes all types of content so no matter what type of content you make you are better bringing it here than you are starting a new blog on a random site. If you are worried posting on a new site then save your content after you create it and back it up on your computer. If the site goes under you can always reuse it on another site. Or even use old content to test out if you like the platform or not. But like I said if it does not reward you crypto you might not want to waste your time.

Now might be your time. Prior to this it was all about the devs in the crypto space (and devs can still make good money as there are still a lot of dapps to be made). But steemit is here and the value of steem could go up any day now. And if you sleep on it now you might regret it in the months to come.

It is time to make your passion a career or at least a part time job. The tools are here so use them.
