Guess what? I´m starting to make videos and DLive is my go to Platform!

in dlive •  7 years ago  (edited)


I usually post written content, it is actually easier for me to express in a piece of paper than speaking but recently, some of my followers told me it would be a good idea to include videos as visual support for them.

The reason? We are living in a visual era and a lot of people don´t read posts anymore. So I have decided to keep writing - I love writing - and on most of my posts include a vlog entry of me speaking about the subject using DLive, that way both audience types - the ones who enjoy reading and those who enjoy videos - will be able to engage with my content.

Adventure season is at the next corner and I will be exploring a lot of Europe soon, expect a lot of videos from my nomad side.

Also, I will be doing some Live curations every once in a while and some Live podcasts alongside some of my fellow @ocd curators.

So yeah, a lot of DLiving for me in the future and I can´t express how excited I feel about this new stage of my Steemit Life. I hope you enjoy watching my videos as much as I enjoy making them!

If you don´t know what type of adventures I will be posting about, let me give a sneak peek: I´m the guy who hitchhiked for 3 days from Brussels to Lisbon to get the Steemfest 2, and I have it all on video.

The best part? EVERY VIDEO I MAKE will be DLive exclusive and will be 100% original content. That´s right mate, if you are adopting DLive you gotta do it the right way!

But that´s not it, I´m also kind of crazy and I have weird mini project ideas, just like the one where I got more than 60 Steemians to sing a song altogether one line at a time and it was amazing.

And last but not least, I have some adventuring under my sleeve and will be posting amazing shots with my drone!

Now you can see why I am so thrilled about this step I´m taking towards using DLive, exciting times ahead indeed.

Well done, Post great...

That's a brilliant idea @anomadsoul, to combine videos with text on your blog posts. It definitely makes for a more fun experience on your blog.
I like to speak too but I prefer writing more. I do not much like looking at people who are looking at me, and the camera makes me feel that way. That is why I rarely take selfies or any photograph for that matter. I envy you your extroverted nature.

Why are you using Dlive instead of Dtube? Would it not be difficult to go live on a hitch hike for example, especially if you are in an area with poor network connection?
My network providers will make sell myself to afford live streaming that's why I have not bothered to go near Dlive but I will try Dtube soon after I can overcome my shyness.

I wish you all the best in your adventures and I will be here living them with you through the stories you will share. Stay safe.

hi @anomadsoul
hopefully it is beautiful and present with you with Dlive
I also glad to be able to see and read your post.
you will surely meet all your expectations

Good luck on your travels, we can all share them too. Please include some of the challenges you face along the way to help us if we venture out too. So will you be sailing part of the way ?

Why did you choose Dlive instead of DTube?

I ask because I am also interested in uploading videos to these platforms, so I can better promote steemit and hopely attrac people worldwide, when people see the monetary value of the videos they will be very interested in steemit!

but I've had problems uploading videos to Dtube, sometimes the videos never upload! ¿that happen in Dlive? I've never really tried Dlive ... I guess I should give it a try!

this is a brilliant idea and very informative post.
yes, a agree with you.

Upvoted and follow

Nice idea. and great job.

Yes, I discover that too. People tends to prefer video to written text. I think I will start making videos too

That's actually good. Combining both together would be amazing. Dtube is good, but I always have issues with them taking off 25% of your payouts. Not sure about Dlive, at least we get to see you live. I wish you all the best. I look forward to the videos.

Well, it seems very interesting: I follow you with joy and a bit of healthy envy, for the nomadic lifestyle that would like to do to me too!

One question: why did you choose dLive and not D.Tube?


Thanks for the upvote you gave me a little while ago
@amico

this is an awesome idea. you are doing a great job.
by the way,,, You look very different in the photo.
Keeep it up

The world is leaning more and more towards the image. The era of visual supremacy began a couple of years ago and brands are increasingly aware of it, "a picture is worth a thousand words" and is perfectly applicable to the current era.

94% of the communication is "non-verbal", either through images, gestures or signs, images, drawings, photographs or videos.

It's time for you to adapt to the visual era...
  • Having a hard time logining into my dlive, thru my steemit account?
    using my steemit name and private password its giving me a "password or key is invalid.

Need Help?

Wow great, that you chose #dlive and sharing your blog via this... Keep continue, wish you more success @anomadsoul

I like to read more and I do not like people looking at me, and the camera makes me feel like this. That's why I rarely take interest or do something I want you to live in for example hiro mountaineering, for example the external nature, especially if you live in an area with bad network connections?
I hope all of your events are best and I'll live here. Be careful

Hi @anomadsoul! You have received 0.1 SBD tip from @cardboard!

I actually started doing exactly the same thing about a week ago. Rather than doing only videos or only text posts I started combining the two.

It takes a little longer to put together but it gives the best of both worlds and has forced me to learn new skills.

I haven’t tried DLive yet but will definitely give it a shot in addition to DTube. :)

Hi @anomadsoul, I love the idea as I work on my little live streaming studio as well.

We used dlive for streaming the steemit meetup aachen but we had sometimes some tech issues.

I do in my business life a lot streaming and we even had a whole conference and tradeshow with more than 1000 people and 30 exhibiting companies for two days live at the web.

So why not doing something like this here?!?!?

Love to connect and share my know how and ideas.

@detlev from Belgium and Germany who runs the #BeerSaturday challenge

P.S. The music video with 40 Steemians is awesome 👏

a visual era, whether we like it or not, we must enter

True my friend, gotta evolve or die. In this case I´m very happy because video making was on my list for a long time now.

Good stuff, dude! Looking forward to seeing the content you'll put out on Dlive. I didn't realize Dlive let you upload videos, I thought it was a livestream exclusive platform like Twitch, haha.

wow great, that you chose #dlive and sharing your blog via this. Keep continue, wish you more success @anomadsoul

really exciting times ahead of us. good articles.

Esperamos vídeos en español también. Saludos mi estimado

It does help to be crazy on here :) Good luck with Dlive :)

Ohhh I really hope I can live up to the expectations! Now I must to amazing videos, it´s been promised on the blockchain! No backsies here haha

I know you will do great. You have grown very fast on here, wast better than me :(

I saw your wonderful article.

I try to do DLive, but it does not seem easy.

I am posting an introduction to Korean food. Especially, it seems to be difficult to film the cooking process.

If you are interested in Korean food, I would appreciate it if you come to my post.

it's great to see you on video, the platform grows and you have to adapt to everything, I just hope you don't stop making videos in Spanish, because in English we would only watch! Good luck with all your adventures, I hope to see you very soon.

Oh no no, of course I will be making both versions! Spansih and english for the win! :D Hey I´ve never thanked you but, thanks for dropping by on every post I make, I will make sure to drop by your blog posts today :)

sometimes I feel sorry to write, I may seem annoying lol, thanks for your kind comment and I think you will have a lot of work doing dlive in english and spanish, happy night

It will be great to see you on video. Expressions and voice modulations convey a lot. I also want to see your nomadic adventures.

Look forward to seeing your videos live!!!

People are talking about Dlive sooo much ! The promotion made around it (in real life ;-)) is so empowering that I am thinking to start it too !!! :D

Yay Eric!! Welcome to Dlive!!!

I´m so happy and excited! Especially because videos have always been on my list but I didn´t have the courage to start! Now its on the blockchain and I can´t back out :P

Nice and a great job

I prefer dlive because dlive we can chat to know each other and one platfom I think best. i love dlive

During the sndbox challenge I experienced making my first ever video of my face in any social media platform.

I am very camera shy and it took a lot of courage to do it,

After it was done it didn't seem so bad and i might do that as well to add more context to a post with a video.

Awesome idea!!! Can't wait to see your first video on Dlive. cheers @anomadsoul

Hi,
It is a great idea, I can't wait to see your videos. Cheers.

many successes and blessings in all his adventures, it's great to see you on video.

I just start yesterday with my new post! (^_^)

i may not know you but at least i have met your work and this for me is enough to talk about you. a tasty combination of the visual and the text...if i must confess this came in handy......and thanks for the heads up

Good luck :) @tipU send 0.1 sbd

That obviously does the trick, @anomadsoul. There is lots of people out there who just don't like to read, irrespective of how well written a piece is.

They are more comfortable with Video. No hustle. Just put your head sets on and you off to gom, rather than squinitng your eyess through grey lines! lol.

Then of course those with visions problems..

Overall, video is an organic alternative to include.

Personally, i wouldnt try it out now. lol. I am not sure i like the sound of my voice.

But narrating a story (i write mostly stories and all sort sof literary works), would that be cool on video? I am not sure, but it is certainly something i could try some time in future.

That's a great idea @anomadsoul, because videos make people get to know you better. I like mixing both too in my blog. I have been using DTube so far, but I hear dLive is better because you keep 100% of your rewards, so my next video will be on dlive too!

Good for you @anomadsoul, God speed on your journey. You're a great example of how decentralized technologies like Steemit and DLive can enhance the everyday person's life. Will be looking forward to seeing clips of your adventures!

I should start doing that myself

hola eric, que bueno que te animas nuevamente a viajar y traernos nuevas de tus aventuras, me dio curiosidad este post ya que en la entevista que te hicieron hace poco en la celebracion de tu cumpleaños dijiste que no te llamaban mucho la tension los videos, (claro te referias a dtube) voy a investigar un poco mas sobre Dlive para ver que tal es. por ota pate cuando este en Europa y pases por Escocia dale mis saludos, algun dia voy a ir a conocer por alla, me llaman mucho la tension esos lugares y no dejo de ver cada pelicula que mueste tierras Europeas, sabes que pelicula me encanta la biografia de Beatrix Potter, ella salvo a gran parte de bosques de las garras de empresas que querian destruirlos. la escritora jane austin con su pelicula orgullo y prejuicio. me encantan. que te vaya bonito.
