RE: Hello, World. Alex Wolf is now on Steemit
Hello, Alex, and Welcome to Steemit.
I'll admit that I am unfamiliar with your work, but after reading your intro ("obsessed with aesthetics"!!) and seeing that one photo, I'd definitely like to see more.
Any creative work (such as the above photo) that is unique, appealing, interesting, and beautiful is enough to attract my attention. And can safely be called "art."
Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.
- Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 10–20 photographs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
- Include some text to complement the photos. Anything from background info about the subject, to technical details about the camera or the photo, or even anything about your overall technique. As long as you have a fine balance between images and text, you'll get a better response.
- Ensure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!
Thank you for the advice, much appreciated. I'm still trying to figure out what the best format for these posts is. The IG world was very much about one single photo with barely any text, but seems like Steemit is about entire sets and much more context. Seems like a fun challenge to me.
Yes, the more the better.
At the same time, I composed several lengthy photo diaries of my India experience. Some were lucrative, others earned peanuts. So I spent more time researching and writing the latest 2 photo diaries, and ... they earned peanuts.
So, now I focus on my "Vocab-ability" series, my Lou Reed Lyrics series, and other series that I'm developing.
As for photos, there are several daily photo contests, in which you can submit one photo per post. I enter the contest by @juliank (@photocontests) a few times a week, and each of those earns about $10. Not bad for 30 minutes work compiling the post.
You will find numerous other photo contests under the "Photography" feed. Not sure if you wanna enter those contests, but it might introduce you to others interested in photography.
