Hey Midlet, I think you ought to consider joining up with my discord server.
I'm pretty serious about going pro, and I am going to do what I can to share as much information / resources with people along the way.
I've created about 13 challenges so far, and I think I'm attracting some good people into the project.
The first seven challenges are laid out in this article here:
https://medium.com/@rootdraws_91984/artists-lets-start-a-challenge-based-art-dao-89b6b356e060
You may or may not have seen that post.
The first goal is something like "Earn 100 Steem, 1300 SP, and stake 500 PAL"
My whole objective is to go after that goal myself, by posting here regularly, and then share the screenshot when it's been accomplished.
Afterward, the next Challenge in line is to pursue a goal within the NFT space. Mostly on Ethereum, but if the NFTs are available on Steemit by that time, then that works too.
The idea is to build income over time from exposure to different challenges.
Keep the ones that work, and get rid of the ones that don't.
Does that sound interesting to you?
