BeScouted is 500px or Flickr on Steroids that pays. Photography community on Steem Blockchain.

in #photography7 years ago

If you are a photographer or at least photography is your passion of some sort, probably at some point you became a member of 500px or Flickr, or maybe just browsed it a few times as a guest looking for inspiration.

While those two platforms are really great for content discovery and can provide you exposure, they have one common fault to which most (if not all) social media websites fall to. They monetize your content while you get nothing back in return. In fact they are even up selling you different membership options where you have to pay for the features you use.

It is understandable. They need to pay developers for product creation, cover servers cost, spend on marketing and give solid returns to the investors as any other ancient form of business. They build it upfront and then take, take, take, take. That is a business model of yesterday.

AND IT IS WRONG


BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS

BeScouted is 500px and Flickr of the future that instead of taking, rewards it's users for sharing images on the platform by leveraging the amazing reward distribution mechanism of Steem blockchain.

It is also a future marketplace where photographers, models, makeup artists, hair stylists, designers, retouchers and many other talented creatives join forces by using our powerful casting tool to find team members for their creative projects.

It is a place where companies, brands, modeling agencies, producers, advertising agencies or any individual can place their offer for paid work that freelancers can apply to and get paid.

Anyone can be a model. And there is a common misconception of what a model is. Production services are constantly on the look for characters for their advertising campaigns. And have trouble finding it. You will hardly find a ballet dancer, a guy that can do a back flip, or a bicycle stunt rider in any of the classic modeling agencies. Even if they do, classic agencies will rip the freelancer of by taking a bigger chunk of their earnings. So if you have any talent SignUp on BeScouted today connect it with your Steemit.com account and show it to the world while getting rewarded for it instantly.

    Best place to be. ❤

    Glad to hear that mate! :)

    You know I got Your back eheheh

    Smts are going to be a game changer!!!

    They will. For the whole Steem community. It should be huge. it would do to Steem what ICO's did to Ether.

    This is great idea, if we get right quality on the platform and delegates will know about photography I believe that can be huge. On what basis your delegates got power? Experience actual portfolio ? I've checked other guys stuff and it isn't that good. I sort of don't understand it, if you want to bring top photographers to platform you need people to know what they talking about.

    I don't get it. Could you please elaborate? :)

    It's interesting!
    Is there any place for nature photographers?

    Yes, any type of photography is welcome, it just happened so that there are a lot of portrait photography just because our casting system is working so well and we have been operational before connecting to Steem for a while. I would say other types of photography are even preferable.

    Glad to hear! I'm with you =)

    Great post! Everything is extremely clear and so inspiring! 😍😘😙😚🤗🤗

    Yes, dear, still a lot a lot a lot to do, but it is happening!

    "BeScouted is 500px or Flickr on Steroids that pays." - True Story! Double the exposure and double the fun! All of that and the added benefit of a matured casting system all come together to complete the experience. A lot is in flux in the Blockchain/Steem/Crypto space so this is an exciting time to be a part of this up and coming photographic community.

    Today i have learnt that we will probably need to open a company in Gibraltar as our Central bank "does not appreciate" the Cryptocurrencies. What a fuck'n morons... but if they want money OFF the country instead to support the economy and help people in need.. what can i do... Will need to take care of them personally it seems. Why do i even need such a government then i keep asking myself... Why Singapore, Gibraltar, Switzerland can see benefit. And such poor and small country is getting rid of potential taxes???
