Hi @heffey, I like the idea of sponsoring products on Steemit to try to sell them.
Since you're new to the platform, I wanted to let you know that Steemit is a somewhat particular blogging platform where it's essential to interact with other users and build a network of friendships to establish a supportive community.
Unfortunately, just publishing a post and waiting for results is not enough; some marketing efforts are necessary, as on other social media platforms.
It would be nice if you also included payments in Steem, SBD, or Trx, which are the tokens used on the platform.
I hope your blog gains more visibility. Best of luck!
