I know I shall be shot for this - Steemit needs advertisers, just like Facebook with a decentralized advertising sales force to sell advertising that puts in hard dollars.

Furthermore - advertisers will buy space with cash - not Bitcoin so the mechanism to develop is the means where dollars are turned into Steem or Steem Dollars

In order to do this - viewers other than the Steemit community must be logged so that true value of a piece is shown with its full viewer potential.

The problem to overcome is the 30 day edit limit or advertisers must realize that when they buy a space on a post it is forever. A post forever is a very valuable thing.

What sort of form would advertising sales space look like a horizontal bar at the top? A vertical bar on the right or left?

The space sold should be limited to only one ad per post after all, we are artists and content providers, not anything else

These are some of my thoughts and of course the content provider should receive some if not most of the advertising revenue
