I was always wonder how to make money from Dlive since it is so difficult to do the same in Youtube. Then I was inspired by fellow steemians with voted value in their videos in the Dlive channel with simple daily lifestyle videos.
So, I decided to give it a try and started to read articles and post about it. And I caught hold of one of the post in Steemit and started to follow the steps I could remembered and follow the build-in instructions in the Dlive website
After I have successfully published a video to Dlive, I was caught by surprise that the same video was also published in my Steemit post.
I have outlined Three easy steps to publish a video to Dlive as follows:_
1) Open an account with Dlive with your Steemit Account
2) Upload a video from your computer
3) Complete the publishing steps to put your video live
With these three simple steps, let's go thru in details as the following procedures:-
1) Open an account with Dlive with your Steemit Account
1.1 Go to Dlive website at dlive.io
![dlive.io](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://kisconsulting.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Screenshot-2018-07-27-13.23.28-300x225.png)
Once you are in dlive.io, a landing page will open and it appeared as the picture above. You can ignore the purple banner or click on the small x on the right top of the banner. What you want is to locate a signup button or text. So, you need to click on the 3 line menu on the top right of the page. And a menu will appear as below
![dlive menu](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://kisconsulting.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Screenshot-2018-07-27-13.28.32-300x225.png)
then locate the login text on the left side menu and a login page with several options will appear.

Dlive has make a login very simple. You can either login as a steem Account or a Guest Account. Full feature of dlive will be available if you sign-in with Steemit account whereas there are some limitation of features with a Guest Account
For now, you will sign-in with your steemit account. So, click on the "steemconnect button" to sign-in with your steemit account.

Once you have clicked on the "Steemconnect button, it will take you to a SteemConnect authorization page. Go on and click on the blue "continue" button.Then you will be asked to confirm the steemit account you want to authorise. When you se your steemit name appear, click on it to move to next.
Then a sign-in page will appear. Make sure you get your steemit name correct and use your "private active key" as your password.
Note: Do not use your master key as your password.

Once you have signed in with steemconnect, you will be lead to the dlive dashboard page. You will see a familiar page like in the beginning except that there is a avatar of yours since you have signed in with your account now.
2) Upload a video from your computer
Again, you need to locate a 3 line menu on top right of the page ( circled ) and click on it to open the your dashboard where you can see a side menu on the left of the page with different text.

Now, you have two options to upload your video.
1) click on the "upload" text or
2) "Drag and drop" your video in the box
When you clicked on the "upload" button, it will open up your file folder. From here, you need to click on the right folder to find your video to be upload to dlive. For the purpose of this tutorial, I will choose a mp4 file in my video folder.

Then you will click the the video file you wanted to upload. In this case, I clicked on the mp4 video file in this folder.

3) Complete the publishing steps to put your video live
When your video file is upload to the dashboard, you may need to provide some "Video info" which is stated as option. However, a thumbnail is required. It is easy to fill up these information as it is quite straight forward and it is stated like a form.
The video information required are listed below:-

Once you are happy with the thumbnail and information, you will need to click on the "submit" bottom at the bottom right of the page.
