Good morning Zac,

If the data is not embedded inside a transaction, how would I be able to pa=
y a miner to include the data on the blockchain?

I need a transaction in order to pay a miner anyway, so why not just embed =
it into the same transaction I am using to pay the miner?
(i.e. the current design)
