I am an Artist. More Traditional Art than Digital though. I am on Makerplace but cannot figure out how to upload anything .... I wonder how other artists find this place, seems so complicated. I would like to try to post some work there to see if I get any bids. I am happy to be earning $10 From posting my art work here on Hive. I earn more from the Timelapse making-of videos on YouTube and HideoutTV though. And the earnings are recurring.... infinite and forever over there. I know that we all say that we hate traditional media sites and ads but some of them pay artists forever and ever.... not just 7 days, not just once.... but constant passive income .... it puts food on the table. Some of us Artists need to eat. Any way ... that is just my two cents as a starving artist. If I can create a digital work of art / video and earn forever I am pretty happy. Keeps me creating .... am I in it just for the money ? Well after years and years of making art for nothing... people expecting it for FREE ..... I finally decided I would look for a way to earn a little. Luckily I found Steem and now a Hive.
