I think there will need to be more infrastructure on Steemit, to allow premium content, before that can happen. Right now, I see it as development money. I am earning the chance to focus on my fiction and other publishing, to the exclusion of freelance writing clients that were my bread and butter. So, if it can become that, I'd love to see it. I am looking forward to more multiplicity in Ebook platforms. I use one called Payhip.com that is fantastic, but most people don't trust it yet. Unfortunately, the big data companies play against the little guy, making their sites look sketchy and less trust worthy. The idea of publishing here is awesome. We'll see how it pans out.

Yeah the publishing potentials are exciting. Not sure if the platform is ready for premium content yet though ... I'm a professional author, and finding it tricky grabbing interest for an experimental serial here on steemit; so yes, will have to see how it pans out: https://steemit.com/writing/@wildmanhowling/the-high-wild-episode-1-first-3-parts
I need to read that third episode, man, thanks for reminding me!
Yes read it you bastard! READ IT! x
i just read this reply in my replies box with no context, I was like, what the hell, been a while since I pissed someone off! LOL
I'm hoping for the prioritisation of such infrastructure. With a bit more focus on publishing Steemit could replace Watpadd in the hearts and minds of the millions of millenniums that stop by the site to write and read every day. The young people that will make or break the future of any social media platform. J.
Well, the Watpadd crowd, in my experience, is long on creation, but short on skill. Not sure how they would fare here. That's not a bad thing, but they need to season a bit before they are ready to be paid in many cases.
Agreed, but from a platform growth perspective they bring enthusiasm, fandoms, eyeballs and time. They are also extremely loyal and support each other. Their definition of quality is different from ours. If steemit is able to attract the hordes that hang out on tumblr all day the network effect is huge. J.
I agree with that.
