@ashr upvoted for insight. Seems appealing to me because a big part of my motivation is also to teach people about crypto. However, I think I need to spend another few months writing and learning about crypto before I could be considered for paid content on crypto media websites.

If I get a few thousand followers and start earning anything reasonable on Steemit I will reinvest a lot of that for advertising my Steemit articles and content on other social media platforms.
Quite a long way from doing that considering I need to first finalize my ideas for my next 40 blog posts or so (have ideas for about 20 right now).
