Just wondering if you use any other social media platform? If yes, you could always just use share2steem. But what I recommend is forget the money and upvotes and just use Steem for fun and to connect. The upvotes having value is just a plus, like in Reddit, but it becomes work if you start caring about it too much. I think in the end, people will choose some platform like Steem over the traditional ones like Reddit, because in the end, they'll be benefiting as well and not just the traditional investors.

There's a ton of great artists here on Steem, some upcoming and aspiring, some experienced or even pro already. It's a nice feeling to be able to reward them easily if one likes to.
