Crypto Monetization Options for Video Content Creators

The use of Video online has surged in recent years.  On Youtube alone 300 hours of video are uploaded every minute.

Along with this growth in video usage is censorship and unfavourable payments for content creators.

Originally I found Steemit as I was searching for a way to monetize my video content with Crypto.  And although I love Steemit and the community around it, Steemit is a blogging platform.  Not a video platform.

So, while blogging on Steemit, I have continued my search for a way to monetize my videos with Crypto and I have found a number of projects that are worth keeping an eye on.

DTube.

DTube poped up last week. It is based on the Steemit platform and Steem ecosystem.  The developer is  Hive account@heimindanger and Dtube is a work in progress. I would recommend you read https://steemit.com/video/@heimindanger/introducing-dtube-a-decentralized-video-platform-using-steem-and-ipfs. There are many other posts on Steemit about DTube so just do a search and you will find loads of information.  No point in me re-writing what is already available on Steemit.

View.ly

View.ly has also been well covered here on Steemit and the developer of the platform is Hive account@furion. Unlike DTube, View.ly will not work on the Steemit ecosystem.  It will be completely independent from Steemit, although you can post from View.ly to Steemit (at no posting charge by View.ly, again unlike DTube.) To find out more about View.ly check out this article https://steemit.com/viewly/@furion/introducing-viewly-alpha

Lbry

Lbry has been knocking about for a while now and is currently in open beta.  Again this platform is no way related to Steemit and works on the LBRY coin.  There is however a current restriction in accessing the beta, in that Lbry are looking for credit card details so that the current bounty program won’t be abused.  If you do not want to collect bounty coins they you do not need to register a credit card.  This quick video will explain more

Wildspark

Wildspark working of Synero AMP coin is my favourite at the moment.  Why? Well because of the simplicity. Wildspark is not a video sharing platform but a platform that allows you amplify your reach with content shared on an existing centralised platform such as Youtube.  For my following and others with a non crypto type following this is by far the easier way to convert them.  This has the potential to go mainstream very fast.  Check out this brief video for an overview.

Scrypto

Scrypto is NOT a video monetization platform. It is a platform when developers can reward content creators for content produced around their coin and technology.  If your video content is on the topics of Coins and Altcoins, blockchain technology and decentralisation then do share your videos on Scrypto.

It appears Scryptos aim is to create communities around Coins and applications and its monetization works as a gift economy.

I am in the process of setting up communities for each of the platforms I mentioned above.  I hope you will pop over and join in

Here on Steemit I have found something I love, analyzing the Steemit blockchain data.  Wouldn't it be awesome if I could get access to the database of the above platforms and analyse that tool!!!
