Platforms like Blurt, Hive, and Steem are great examples of places where you can monetize your hobbies and everyday activities. When you think about it, there’s really nothing stopping you from sharing detailed stories or blog posts about your life. On the flip side, you could post something lighthearted or silly—like memes—and still have the potential to earn some form of income.

Lately, I’ve been wondering: if you can monetize stories and memes, why not something as simple as a receipt or a photo of your grocery haul? Why not an image of a flower—or even a piece of dirt? A dirty car? Or just a quick micro-post with a status update?

Depending on the platform, there may be some community expectations. For example, on Hive, long-form content is generally encouraged. But even there, you can still post a photo of your groceries and write a few thoughts about what you bought.

Having followers who genuinely enjoy your content—whether it's about groceries or memes—makes a big difference. With even a small amount of support, it’s possible to earn micro-income on these platforms.

So, ultimately, I'm highlighting something that we all should know already on these platforms: content =  value. Value is subjective, but there is always some kind of value for even the most ridiculous of posts, and that's what makes these platforms powerful!
