Normally I publicize videos in the mornings. I edit and upload at night then schedule for release to the public at 8am the next morning. Last night was different. I just wanted this video to get out there. After shooting this video in the orchard I went right to work getting it edited just right (ok... just well enough). It took about 40 minutes to upload on my sorry country connection, but it got done. Once all the blanks were filled in on the YouTube admin section I set it to PUBLIC. Then went to bed.
This morning when I awoke I stumbled around, per my normal waking routine, then I checked my phone for updates. It was a little shocking to me that the video had gained 1000 views overnight! Wow, this is a sensitive subject!
Lots of people are affected by this new YouTube change and it's got some feathers ruffled. I'm hoping that the message overall is that we need to support each other. We can make a difference in the lives of others. YouTube is just a website. They don't own you. Take your story and take control. Steemit is a great place to share and build a community.
No platform anywhere... Let me say that again NO PLATFORM ANYWHERE is going to make you rich without you taking the time to build an audience. Love people and build a community. Build it and get involved and I truly believe that the rewards will come. Some of those rewards will even likely be money. Along the way I think you'll find that the greatest rewards cannot be exchanged at the banks.
You have been good to me. I do hope, in time, I can do more to be good to you.
