Hey people of steem,
So I was thinking about steem and maybe getting to the point were my posting can be a job. I post once a day to stay active and I do think steem has a very bright future. Now I can post ten times a day and just reward myself but I would much rather stick to running contests and only using a vote or two a day on my posts. Plus it gives me time to have another job. This can be enough if the price of steem gets high enough or I get enough steem going. But lets brainstorm other ways to make this contest both popular and monetizes to pay a salary. Bloggers make a living and they do not even get a token for their work. There are ads and patreon. Maybe sponsorships?
For this weekend contest I am asking for ideas for how to make this contest popular and ideas on how to monetize. I am also asking for permission to use those ideas without compensation or credit so please keep that in mind (but you will get a thank you :p). I want to get this contest to the point where people are coming in from outside of steem to join the site.
Upvotes for the winners.
Thank you in advance
In my opinion, you need to add resteem to your posts as one of the requirements to participate in the contest so that many people can see the contest you made, and the prizes that you like for all participants who have participated in the contest, and you can get everyone here be a winner with different values.😊

My contribution would be: in the photo contest, one of the rules should be that the photograph is personal, that is, taken by the contestant, because sometimes they upload photos of Internet and that is not fair... or you can do a contest of photos of Internet, the person that puts the best photo of Internet wins ... and thus everyone has the same opportunity.
To attract people's attention, the prize is usually the one that attracts them, so you must place in the title of the publication, which is the prize ... 100% vote, steem, sbd, etc ...

WINNER for the title suggestion.
It is implied that photos should be original but some people will always post spam :p

There are several creative hands on and off the blockchain, you can start a contest that host different people of several creativities for a week (e.g art, poetry, music and so on).
Whilst, you get a judge or yourself to pick first to three winners from each categories (you can decide to stick with a category).
Let me cite some examples below;
Art - they can create something iconic to showcase Steem to the public.
Poetry - a creativity piece of literature
Music - create a lovely tune and upload to dsound.
Nb: you will have to create a tag for these. Most preferably your tags.
You are welcome

A contest to in-steemit people, with your influence isn't big deal i think. But to bring people out of steem-steemit, that's another story. Maybe some kind of giveaway with some conditions for the participants will do the job. If the contest is visible to other social networks, and gives the opportunity to the outsiders to participate or something like that.
I don't know if this help you, but i hope to inspire you a bit.

I remember that once you did an art contest, it would be great if you did another one again, maybe with a sci-fi theme, maybe comic style or something like that.

Very interesting post. Thank for sharing @whatageek. I know I definitely am looking to keep building up SP and doing C&C ( Commenting Curating) and blog posts. And have no doubt once price of Steem goes back up I will earn a nice side income from it.
Full time ?? Who knows. Iam open to anything :)

There's a contest held by @originalworks their rewards are pretty neat I mean if you write an okayish blog you still can get 3 steem, the contest is real popular I think they get a sponsor of some kind from each ivo weekly for people to give them review. You could start talks with potential sponsors might boost up the contest and also bigger prizes are plus for both the participants and contest creator.

Create contests related to a sponsored theme (like an ICO, Company product, Website...) and see if you can get sponsoring from those ICO Start Ups & Companies...

I mean, if you get 20$ per post everday it makes 600$ a month aproximentaly.
You would need a little more to live off of it tough.

Definitely, the whatageek contest represents profits for all users, but not enough to consider it a salary amount.
It should be noted that in some developing countries where there are serious economic problems for citizens due to the wide margins reached by inflation, this causes the salaries to fall away; only in cases like that the income generated by this contest or by steemit in general may seem sufficient.
For example, in some cases like my country where the value of the minimum salary is $ 27.99 per month, perhaps, everything that is earned in steemit.com would be helpful, but in contrast to other countries where the economy is stable and the salary is 1000.00 or 2000.00 DOLLARS per month, this would not represent solid profits.
We must not forget that the contests of Steemit.com serve to stimulate the user to promote their quality work in exchange for small rewards, and at no time should be considered as a qualified job which can depend on to survive.
The work of blogger at steemit.com is not subject to a real contract where the rights of the worker are covered, such as: social benefits, trusts, professionalization, credits, benefits for housing and food, bonds to cover medical insurance and some other regulations contemplated in the organic labor law; therefore, it can never be taken as an official job.
A categorical way to benefit users is to open more contests of this type with constant rewards that are increasingly larger as possible; thus, participants could accumulate enough rewards to supplement their basic income and cover a fraction of their needs.
This has been my point of view as a Steemit.com user and a faithful follower of @whatageek, I hope I have been useful for all of you today.
Thanks for your support!
