I'm PAYING artists to let me promote them.

What's crazy about that? You're on Steemit, right? Are you an artist? Do you want to get more attention towards your art and possibly make a sale? Do you want to make a little cash doing it? What's weird about that? Nothing, I say.

But, yes, there's a catch.

I want you to sign up to my website. I made it for you anyway. If you're an artist, musician, fashion designer, author or filmmaker, I made a website for you to sell your works, very similar to DeviantArt, Etsy, Amazon, whatever. The point really is that if you're trying to get exposure and sales you should be on ALL those sites. But of all the sites you could be on, Artopium isn't a corporation. It's a sole proprietorship, run by a group of dedicated volunteers and artists just like yourself that have contributed their time to help run the website, and to help us all "pay the rent" so to speak. We're all in this together. It's like that old adage; a stick by itself can by broken, but put into a bundle... Artopium.com is that bundle; for the benefit of the artists that join it, NOT for the benefit of an elite few who own the corporation. I can do this because a sole proprietorship can run at whatever level of profit is comfortable for the owner (that's me). In other words, Artopium does not have shareholders who's sole interest is profit. Because of this I can focus more on what's actually important: making you money. OK, I'll talk more when the time is right.
