When you want to put a video on your hive posts you have several possibilities. You can upload a video on youtube and then integrate it in your post. You can also upload your video on 3speak and then create the post directly on this platform. I love 3speak and I use it regularly.
I would like to present you another way to present a video on your Hive posts that actually can actually generate a very interesting synergy for your rewards.
Host your videos on Lbry
Lbry is a blockchain based video platform that allows you to host your videos. It's not only free, you can actually get tips on your videos. There are some automated tips when your videos reaches a lot of views.
Embed your Lbry video on your Hive posts
When you create your post on hive, you can embed your lbry video on this post. This has some advantages.
Embed only works on peakd.com
After some testing I realized that the embed function only works on peakd.com. On condensers like hive.blog the video is not visible. An alternative is to put a picture and with the link to the video on Lbry (see below).
Watch this video on Lbry
More views on lbry
If people watch your video on the Hive post, you will actually get more views and this might increase the tips that you get on Lbry. In addition to that these views are not limited in time. You can like that go beyond the 7 days post limit and continue to earn with the videos on your Hive post.
No ads
When you put your videos on Youtube or on 3speak, there is the possibility that there will be ads playing on your videos. This is not the case for Lbry videos.
Get Lbry sign ups
When people sign up with Lbry and verify their account, they actually get an invite bonus. The great thing is that you get the same bonus as well. At the moment you will get about 15 LBC for each verifyed new user. This is about 0.4 USD.
Interchange LBC and HIVE
Both LBC and Hive are traded on Bittrex. It is therefore possible to use your LBC earnings to power up your Hive account or to use Hive to get LBC and stake your videos for a better position in the Lbry search engine.
In my eyes Lbry and Hive are the most promising social blockchain platforms and the moment and they offer a nice set of synergies that can be used.
