The @GirlsofGreen models worked for many hours creating content here every week, for a long time, and our grand total of income comes out to somewhere around three dollars. Nobody owes us anything, but examples like ours are important to point out because they indicate the health of the blockchain. If we can't bring in more than a few cents per original photograph or video clip, it's just not doable unless we're doing it only for fun. That's possible, sure, but the site shouldn't promise "get paid for your content and votes!" In reality we've actually paid quite a bit, both in money and in time, just to create these posts. If businesses or teams or groups are thinking about coming to Steem, they should have a look at our example, and others, before making the decision.
