I don't think it's really that difficult to do it on Steemit.com. It has to be done someday anyway, this site will become useless when we have ten times more active users here if it stays in it's current form.
Speciality content producers will get paid once we have some way for them to be seen (by people who want to see them). Now it's pretty much impossible for an unknown noob to get paid. It's just pure luck if they manage to get to the frontpage and earn big money because of that.
