People can LIVE doing what they LOVE (an example)

in #cryptocurrency6 years ago

People are told to follow their passions but sometimes the passion can lead to a career that does not pay well.

This dilemma is evident across the world but its particularly poignant in the developing parts of the world. Individuals faced with the challenges of wealth and the need to support loved ones do not have the luxury of choice when it comes to a career path. Even in less extreme cases, people often forego their passions not because they have an ailing parent to support, but simply because they’d prefer to secure a good lifestyle.

Commonly, the passions that are foregone for pursuits of wealth are related to the arts. One to the arts that is a major victim of dwindling talent is photography. The Bureau of Labor Statistics clarifies that a career photography is facing a sharp interest from people due to its low earning potential. However, the reality is that this shouldn’t be the case.

The demand for high-quality of photographs is greater than ever. We live in the age of digital content and images are a massive part of it. Clearly, a stagnated growth for photographers despite a growth in the image demand is an oddity. The reason is that much of the image marketplace involves stock photos and this $100 billion market is controlled by companies that pay photographers a startlingly small amount of money. Consequently, the earning potential for photographers is so low that some of the most talented photographers, that the would could have had, never pursued their passion.

However, we are in an era where blockchain technology is proving better opportunities to the masses and a new project uses the blockchain to improve the earnings of photographers.

Uplifting Talent in Photography


Wemark utilizes smart contracts to automate much of the exchange processes and thus is able to reduce the marketplace fees to just 15%, this is just a fifth of the average fee charged by the leading image marketplaces.

Photography has become an industry where photographers can work independently and sell their work on image marketplaces, as that is where the primary revenue flow in this market is. Wemark disrupts the photography industry through blockchain technology.

  • The Wemark protocol automates much of the transaction processes on the marketplace. Consequently, it charges low fees that allow photographers to gain several fold more than what they can earn from image marketplaces at present.

  • Most of the images on marketplaces earn money for decades. However, it can take a lot of time for photographers to acquire a portfolio large enough to bring a daily income needed to sustain a health lifestyle. Wemark is able to support the tokenization of digital photos on its marketplace. Thus, a large volume of retail investors will have the ability to earn a passive income from stock images. Photographers will be able to sell digital images for a lumpsum payment with ease.

Wemark utilizes blockchain technology to greatly improve the earning potential of a career in photography. Now, at least some of the young talent would be able to pursue a career in this art without concerns monetary concerns.

motivating!

Glad to hear that :)

I've been trying to sell my images for years, and then decided to put them all on pixabay for free; I get around $3 on average a week from them now, which is a lot more than I did while trying to sell them. Had to sell my camera to buy food and rent so don't do that anymore...

I'm curious: how does it earn anything if you put them up for free?

Better to give them away than to sit on them and nobody sees them. So far there have been one and a half million views and half a million downloads of my photos, which means they are popular

Did you try selling them as stock images on Shutterstock?

I did put a few hundred there but am still waiting years later to get a pay-out

Glad to hear that :)

Amazing article. its written really well!

Thank you :)

Ive come across many steemit photographers who have beautiful work and by continuously sharing on steem they have accumulated a lot of steem power. I support it!

Actually, the SP almost all the top-ranking photographers possess has been bought.
Instead, a decentralized marketplace for photos could actually work.

Thank you for theese themes. This is a topic to resteem.

I appreciate resteems!

I can relate to the initial part of the post because I wanted to choose photography as a career option but refrained due to low earning potential.

This story is shared by millions.
Hopefully, blockchain projects like Wemark can mitigate wealth gaps created by art agencies and can make way for higher earning potential for artists, including photographers.

Fingers crossed 🤞😊

writing motivation are very good. provide a lot of insight that we can get from the internet and apps inside.

Wemark is functional and photographers can already use it.

I just heard about WeMark the other day-- seems like a really cool idea. I love the idea of cutting out the middleman/huge money hungry digital agencies like ShutterStock. It's a great way for amateur photographers to actually get something out of their work and motivate them to keep doing better (myself included!). I will get around to putting my travel photos up there hopefully soon. Thanks for sharing!
