February 20, 2017 was the Last day for small Youtubers are in panic mode and i do not blame them ..let's be honest in the last month or so i have seen even larger Youtubers come to Steemit and Dtube and yet again they have more value of one post than I will ever from this platform but we are not here to make money we are here to post our content and share our thoughts and comment on other content.
I believe the users on this platform who are successful will have more to say when it comes to making real money versus those that do not make as much as others no matter if your on Youtube or not it is interesting how much time we put into other platforms and not our own businesses.
Video is from our Boy Jeffdelong we do not own this video is a true to life vlog of a Youtuber... is our fault other people broke the rules course not .. after this video I personally added a link to Youtube about steemit and dtube and how he would fit in well here i also admitted in the post steemit may not get him rich but its better to be appreciated.
When a tv network builds a business do you think its all about YOUTUBE HELL NO!
A network will build their own studio their own infrastructure and the smaller channels are dead weight when they fail to live up they are cancelled and ruruns will play with little or no advertising.
So what can a creator do about this ?
A creator must know they are the might that fuels the machine of Youtube and any platform
and with respect to my steemit and dtube and alternative media and creators who have worked hard and got nothing in return trust me One sites trash is another's site treasures.
My first tip is
Do not build a house on rented land ... create a brand and have a website and share all your content from your site not YT or any other platform now you can join Daily motion but you need to post daily to be recommended this is also how Youtube works but you need a focused topic most of the time people only post every once and while and expect to make $$$ but this is not the way it works ...
take a moment and look at top channels blogs video sharing sites who have creators who post alot of content with a current event get more views and why they have consistency engagement and comments and this turns into loyal subs not all of us are in this for the subscribers what next well maybe you need to create a website this is your studio you own it no one can say hey don't do that do not say that you are the owner.
Guess what its cost less than twenty to start your own site per year so why would you allow any website to dictate your path i guess it's the need to have the audience but what if i told you i have a site that has over 70,000 users its not to brage it's to show you that many of us cannot be the next big thing on XXX website were your subscribers can see you anytime no worries about making money from advertisers who only want to be on channels with millions of views.
I want you to really research your channel type and see if you cannot offer a better channel expierence intros outro and a custom logo image it takes under an hour to create once done you can update as needed but larger channels have this and if you do not then good luck !
Be Yourself do not copy other creators this is important and why because you need to be authentic ,the most interesting thing is you do not need a big production keep it simple use OBS there are videos out there to teach this but a lot of people think that youtube is broke this is not the truth so make a channel and a site do not depend on anyone to make your destiny.
We all need to see we have more power than we think when we work together .. maybe its time for creators to have teams of channels who promote each other and help each other even if your not a team three channels who promote and comment on each others videos sharing can do a lot!!!
