Lately, we've been asking our YouTube subscribers to vote on which video we should do next. We give them a few options from which they get to decide our next video. In the latest vote, How we make money while in Mexico was the winner.
Our latest YouTube videos have been getting at least a few thousand views in the first couple of days, so this was a perfect opportunity to promote Steem/it to 1,000s of non-Steemians who are already curious about how we're making money while traveling.

We know we could have done better to explain what Steem/it is, but this is the first of many times that we'll really be pushing the awesomeness of Steem to our audience. Baby steps, right? We'll be learning from our mistakes and trying to improve our message and delivery with each video.
Yes, we didn't cover some very important things about Steem/it and we deserve that rebuke. We purposefully kept our explanation as simple as possible, so we just referred to everything as "Steemit" without getting into the differences between Steem, the network, and Steemit, the privately-owned website.
A lot of our latest videos are starting to go viral-ish on YouTube. If you want YouTube to rank this video really high and get 1,000s more views on YouTube, there are a few things you can do:
- Watch the video from beginning to end
- Like the video and leave a comment on YouTube
- Subscribe to our channel while/after watching the video
- Share the video on social media
These are all metrics that YouTube looks at when deciding how high to rank a video. So if you can do all of these things, it will be more likely to go viral and expose thousands more to the wonders of Steem. The worst thing you can do to affect the performance of this (or any) YouTube video is to watch a few seconds of the video and immediately click out of it.

Cool, well we aren't familiar with it. But we're working hard to grow our YouTube channel and are getting at least a few 1000 views on all of our latest videos.
We want to use the platform to promote Steem as we grow larger.

You don't have to make it all about Steemit because you didn't prepare for it and also you would havs drifted from the main tone of the video. Also, you already told them to ask their questions in the comment section below and that is really helpful and willing. Don't beat yourself too much on that.
I love what you told everyone, which is, they shouldn't expect too much when they start out on Steemit. They shouldn't even start with high expectations. Showing them Maddie's posts two years ago will affirm that.
Well done guys. This video only affirms the huge sacrifice and amplifies your huge heart of kindness. You are RARE!!! Love you both.

We wanted to show people what's possible without them getting ideas in their head that they're going to come on here and make a bunch of money immediately. Just about anyone who has ever started blogging on Steem knows it doesn't happen like that. Like most things that are worthwhile, it takes a lot of effort before you really start to see results.

Exactly. No one had it easy while starting out and with that in mind, they will reduce their expectations and frustrations wouldn't kick in too early for them. I like that.

Our hope is to get people to sign up and start following us. Then they start to realize they can earn a few cents with each comment they leave. Suddenly, a light bulb clicks and they start thinking "Why the heck am I spending all day on these other social media platforms that aren't paying me anything when I could be on here earning cash?"

actually @tangerinetravels very good to make them understand that aspect of the fact that money will not suddenly start rolling in. i can really testify to that. but thank God for people like @olawalium who is always there to answer my every questions and to @tojukaka who introduced me to steemit and to @phait who thought me some basics and to you who is making efforts to empower everyone and anyone who cares to join and give some value and earn some value likewise.

The best advice I can give to newbies is to post some good content on their blog but spend the vast majority of time reading, commenting on posts, and building relationships with other Steemians. You'll get followers, you'll earn some money on comments, and you'll get some votes on your own blogs. As you build those followers over time, your blogs should start earning more.

Nice advice.
It hasnt been really easy as I thought, I have created gOod content most times without getting even a single UPVOTE. At times you almost feel like giving up but I will never give up because " Winners never quite"
infact am even stronger, promoting steemit in my schoOl, environment and also planning of organizing steemit submit soon.
Let's try to support one another.

We almost always have to choose between a catchy, clickable title and choosing a title with low competition and high search volume. Thankfully, this time we were able to do both. Our full title was Making Money While Traveling in Mexico - Earning Money Online
"Making money while traveling" and "Earning money online" were both really good keywords to go for. Thankfully, they fit well with the video topic.
