I'm bad at marketing, so I've often looked for different ways of exposing my photography in a way that people can simply choose to support or not. Although I have shops on CafePress, Zazzle and RedBubble, it's always been a slow trickle of sales. Here, even as I'm still pretty new to this game, I get more reward more quickly. I can even use it to direct traffic to the other sites. Although I've fallen behind on this task, I was including links to my image pages in some of the stores.

I plan to recycle my old pictures maybe once a year or when I run out of new ones - especially once my blog is a bit more well-known and I'm getting better rewards.

I also love that with Steemit, I don't have to stick with my "niche." I might do an article like I did today... some creative writing.... a meme challenge, etc. I'm not bound by having to have a single product line - as is often encouraged when hosting a traditional blog.

I'm trying to get my son to start one as he's a better photographer than I and could probably do quite well here.

I hope that helps.
