Someone asked me to publish on their site instead of Steemit
Seems this web developer guy found my Steemit account through YouTube and he wanted for me to write content for his website instead of Steemit.
I told him he could take my articles if he wanted, but that I would publish on Steemit first because I can claim copyright and overall feel more protected.
He wasn't having it, says he monetizes using adsense and the Google robots could backlist him as a plagiarist if he were to copy content from other sites.
So we talked and talked until he agreed to create a Steemit account for his website and republish the articles there, giving me a mention and letting me keep the rewards the post makes on Steemit.
I might be able to get exposure for some of my referral links through his site too so that could be good.
It's the first time I've ever made contact with another Steemit user because they want to hire me. I don't really like deadlines so I told him we could be collaborators instead and we're going to see how that goes.
Nicely done dude. I hate the sort of 'free writing in exchange for exposure' crap we have to put up with as writers, it boils my blood. Absolutely well done for sticking to your guns and setting up something that works for you.
He wanted to pay, I just don't think by himself he can reward me as well as Steemit is right now. Thanks for commenting!
that's a game changer. think of that, instead of 'spec work' the steemit blockchain is more powerful and useful for portfolio exposure than any exposure work ever could. that's gotta be spoken about more as it's so powerful.
Very true!!
well, I'm an artist and, belive me, I get a lot of these sort of requests...
Im not a pro writer, so for me its fairly academic, but having steemit as a source of proof of IP ownership is a selling point that should be touted more widely. Followed and resteemed.
congrats man that's great.
Nicely done! I would like to upvote those articles when you post them!
good stuff :) I write here and on my website, have upvited
lets grow at steemit
