From myPortfolio Original Post Payout: $84.41
This presentation of the #steemartarchives is dedicated to my IRL friends that I personally onboarded to Steem. I had to meet them in person and basically give them the whole pitch which of course was hard to describe. In terms of rewards I think it was pretty all over the place with some posts doing really well and others earning close to nothing.

HELIOSPHERE Original Post Payout: $0.09
In the end as far as I know it wasn't earnings that made them lose interest though. It was lack of engagement. Considering that at least two of my friends here post regularly to sites like Instagram, I'd thought that whether you earn a few cents or a few dollars it's better than earning nothing, but I think one thing I've learned over the years with Steem is that the earnings are not enough to make up for the poor experience for most people.
Some of these issues I hope to address as best I can with OnChainArt. By collecting the people that have the same interests in one community as well as working hard to keep this community trending so we can increase exposure and in turn engagement. I haven't been as good about it yet but I'll also be using this account to upvote people that leave valuable comments.

Hi from a San Francisco Artist! Original Post Payout: $25.77
Another idea I had to help populate this community with awesome content was reaching out to my art friends and if I could just get them to make a Steem account, then with their permission, sharing their work in OnChainArt and sending them 100% of the rewards via beneficiary.
Happy to report that @jelton has already agreed to this citing that his main reason for not posting is not wanting to stop working long enough to make a whole blog post. I totally get that. Artists I know usually share their art on other social media with MAYBE a single sentence like. "Lunch break painting." That is the norm for artists outside of Steem and I plan to create a culture here where that is OKAY if that's all you want to say. People are coming for your art not a 500 word essay.
Over time I've gotten used to the Steem format and writing 500 word essays with all my art posts, but some of my friends resisted that heavily when I told them that was how to attract curators. I think it has to do with (surprise) the UX here on Steem. The way the flow works, especially on Steemit, especially on the beta site now. You have to click on an art post to appreciate it because the thumbnails are too small to get anything out of them, then if you click and there's no type, the post "feels" empty. You feel a bit mentally disappointed.
I'm hoping for better layout options in the future where you can just scroll in a community and appreciate lots of posts without clicking on them. Sidetracked.
Anyway, hope you all enjoyed this showcase of #steemartarchives. The artists featured here are set to 100% beneficiaries of the rewards on this post.

Thanks, and I definitely use Steempeak, I'm just also using the communities features and they haven't launched their implementation yet.

If it is up to steemit inc it might take 2 more years until they have a working decent UX for communities, thats how they operate, in an eternal Omega.
I would talk to Steempeak if I were you, they seem to know what they do, and he who doesnt cry doesnt get the tit...

Way ahead of you. I've been talking with them since the beginning. For about all my suggestions, we're on the same page. I can't wait to see what they come up with.
I focus a lot on Steemit because they seem to need it the most and still have the vast majority of the traffic in terms of Steem apps. I'm hoping this won't be another endless wait cycle.

It will, they never get anything out in shape and time, so get used to it. Except when the timeline is "sometime in the future" of course

I followed them.
It seems a bit unrealistic these days to show an art post getting $87. It is beautiful as a painting, but I can't really conceive of those numbers at the present moment -- market values and whatnot.
Kind of sad how they petered out.

Yea, these are my IRL friends and two, just sort of got bored. The other decided this was a ponzi scheme haha. So there's hope that two will come back, I dunno about the third. Yea, it used to be that a curie upvote was potentially worth hundreds of dollars. I once had one hit over $100.
