Thanks so much for this response!
I had looked into both bluehost and dreamhost yesterday, and bluehost is the one i felt more inclined to use between the two.

It seems like making an online shop out of a webpage can be done pretty simply, wother through a plugin like wordpress offers or simple 1-click purchase options via paypal. I'm leaning towards a shopping cart method over the 1 click purchase. I will look into woocommerce 💫

The 25% does make sense. I figured there has to be some way of reformatting or alternating content to post through mutliple outlets. I follow some steemians who also have blogs elsewhere and I had thought they posted similar/same content on both blogs.

Maybe I can find a nice algorithmic way of altering articles to keep them kosher in the eyes of the web spiders.

Thanks again Aimee! Great response 🙌
