YouTube is no doubt the number one video sharing platform in the world with thousands if not millions of user every month both sharing and streaming videos which makes them stand out among other video sharing platform. With the amount of money you can make on YouTube through ads, affiliate marketing, selling your own products, sponsorship etc. people prefer to use YouTube more than any other platform.
Due to the harsh rules of YouTube that for you to be able to monetize your channel with ads, you will have to get 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 views before ads can be placed on any channel, this can be very challenging to reach most especially if you are a newbie. This is why having to look for an alternative is not a bad idea (I recommend that you still focus on building your YouTube channel while you consider other platforms).
Today I want to share with you another platform that can be used to generate income for your videos and it’s called DTube.
What Is DTube
DTube can simply be described as a decentralised video sharing platform that runs on the Steemit platform. Before I continue, let me explain what Steemit is.
What Is Steemit
Steemit is a social media website that works under the umbrella of Steem Blockchain Technology. Steem is also a crypto currency just like bitcoin, ethereum etc. Before you are granted access to use DTube, you must first have a Steemit account which will enable you log into your D.tube account using a private posting key that is made available to you when you open a Steemit account.
When using Steem, users get to earn Steem Crypto currency which can be converted to bitcoin and when sold, the money will be deposited into your local bank account or any online payment method you provide.
Back To DTube
As earlier said, DTube is a decentralized video sharing platform that works with the Steemit platform. Once you have set up your Steemit account you can then log in to D.Tube and start uploading your videos.
