We're looking for a few great Steemians to "help us around the house"
The Steem House is a multi-faceted project, even before putting together our physical makerspace! I'm building a community of creatives and entrepreneurs to encourage the development and growth of innovative ideas and projects. Currently, 
I've been spending upwards of 90 hours per week doing everything myself, and it's gotten in the way of life, and I'll need to take a step back from Steemit, change some stuff up, and maybe only work online two or three hours per day. This endeavor will most certainly still require that sort of time put into it, but instead of giving up because I'll be unable to put it all in myself, I've decided it's time to start looking for a few talented people to bring on to the team!
I'll need numerous people with various skillsets in order to get everything accomplished, and everyone will chip in a small part toward the end goal, and we'll come together once a week for a one to two hour meeting on Discord to make sure we're all on the same page for the week ahead.
A large portion of our blog earnings will be shared among team members, and certain positions will earn commissions or royalties on things like writing or resource development.
Before I get into specifics about each position, here are a few general expectations for any applicants:
First and foremost, you'll need to be fluent in English.
You must also be proficient with grammar and spelling. Native English speakers are preferred, but if can prove your worth, I'll take you on.You must have a solid understanding of at least Steemit and Discord.
You don't have to know everything, but I'm looking for people who will at least know how to get around, and use the platforms that we'll communicate with the public on.You'll need to be comfortable with Eastern Standard Time.
This doesn't mean you have to be American, just that this project is, and most of my scheduling will fall between 8am and 10pm EST.You must love having fun!
Fun is pretty much a requirement at The Steem House, so anyone I hire will need to be able to "speak with a smile" when representing the brand.
What/Who I'm looking for:
- Community Maker x2
A couple of our biggest needs as a fledgling project is exposure and community growth. Our Community Makers will be responsible for helping spread the word about what The Steem House is, and helping newcomers get integrated into the community at large. You'll likely be one of the first people newbies talk to, so you'll need to be able to engage with strangers, and provide answers to common questions.

- Remuneration -
Half of our liquid earnings will now be devoted to paying team members for their work, and 10% of the SteemPower earned from posts will be shared among our team via delegations.
This will likely start out slow, but as our project scales, so to will the income and influence of all those who grow with us. The money coming in will be divvied up according to the work put in. Some of it will be percentages, while some will be tied to specific tasks. Each team member will also receive 100 STEEMHOUSE Tokens every month as a small bonus, to do with what they will.
Steem Team payment distribution:
- AV Royalties (2%)
A small portion of every post will go directly to the artists who designed the audio/video/graphics used within.
- Writer's Commission (25%)
A large chunk of what's earned on a post will be shared among those who created that piece of content.
- Payment Pool (23%)
The remainder of every post will be pooled together, and paid out on the last day of every month, divided according the salary of each position. Team members that do more of their work behind-the-scenes will receive a larger stake in this monthly payment, as those who earn more commissions will be in a better situation to earn "on-the-fly". Here's how much each position will be owed out of the pool:
Community Makers x2 - 7% each
Copy Maker - 10%
Deal Maker - 10%
Flare Makers x2 - 9% each
Fun Maker - 7%
Market Maker - 7%
Strategy Maker + - 10% each
- 10% each Support Makers x2 - 7% each
The SP bonus will be equally split, with all 12 team members receiving 8.33% of what's being delegated each month.
This will be a long-term project,
like, forever long-term, ideally... We've already been asked about the future scale, and we will dot the globe with Steem Houses if the demand exists! We're looking for great people willing to dedicate themselves to a "steemjob", and become a part of something that will touch the lives of people all over the world. Many of you who have watched me single-handedly build this project from the ground up can attest to the determination I have to turn this into something amazing. I have faith and trust in this community, and can't wait to share the responsibility of, and the credit for, making it a reality.
