We are raising USD $2,700 for a decentralized, non-profit Steem Marketing project. Can you chip in?
All SBD proceeds from this post will go directly to the project fund held at 
The Musician’s Guide to Steemit is designed to do two things:
(1) Be the definitive guide that enables any musician to build an audience on Steemit, and,
(2) Increase the number of active musicians on Steem by 10x.
You can find the original post about this project here.
Here’s the first drafts of the Introduction, Chapter One, Chapter Three, and Chapter Four.

To give you an idea of what we are raising funds for right now - here’s a brief list of roles we have to hire: Project Administrator, Graphic Artists, Cover Artist, Book Designer, Editor. (promotion will be Phase 2 with its own budget)
Here's a detailed list of jobs and pay rates showing exactly how the money will be spent (scroll towards the bottom).
And, best of all - each of these roles will be hired from WITHIN the Steem community. Not only will this money go towards marketing Steem, it’ll also go towards employing steemians. Double Whammy!
So far we have 50 SBD, or about $300USD, earmarked for the project. That leaves us with $2,400 left to raise.
