Weekend Contest: Can I Eventually Turn These Contests Into A Job?

Hey people of steem,

So I was thinking about steem and maybe getting to the point were my posting can be a job. I post once a day to stay active and I do think steem has a very bright future. Now I can post ten times a day and just reward myself but I would much rather stick to running contests and only using a vote or two a day on my posts. Plus it gives me time to have another job. This can be enough if the price of steem gets high enough or I get enough steem going. But lets brainstorm other ways to make this contest both popular and monetizes to pay a salary. Bloggers make a living and they do not even get a token for their work. There are ads and patreon. Maybe sponsorships?

For this weekend contest I am asking for ideas for how to make this contest popular and ideas on how to monetize. I am also asking for permission to use those ideas without compensation or credit so please keep that in mind (but you will get a thank you :p). I want to get this contest to the point where people are coming in from outside of steem to join the site.

Upvotes for the winners.

Thank you in advance
