RE: I told my YouTube audience "COME TO STEEMIT!"
We are very happy to have you here David! Thank you for asking your audience to join us!
Would you please start getting transcripts of your videos and including those in your Steem posts because this will help all your posts rank higher in Google search which will bring more readers to your blog, viewers to your videos, and users to Steem?
this is a great idea. working out the logistics and timing with our limited resources will be the challenge, but one i'm up for trying to solve.
You will do great David, It's like starting with you tube again, but now you have audience and not suppression.
Jerry would probably love to help you. He does this very well.
I would be interesting in learning more about that.
One of the interesting things about Steem is that because it's money-based, it's very easy to informally delegate tasks out to people for small payment, even paying in upvotes if you have large voting power. There are loads of people who would jump at the opportunity for a small regular income such as by transcribing videos.
I would be interested in finding out how I might set something up like that
The way it's done now, you make a post tagged with #steemgigs.
Something along the lines of this:
is the amount paid based on payment through upvotes, or i just "transfer" X number of SBD to the person per video through the wallet?
Up to you.
You could pay in upvotes if you have a big vote.
You could make transfers manually with the wallet page.
You could add them as a benefactor, giving them a percent of your payouts automatically. There's a tool on SteemWhales.com that allows you to create posts with benefactors who get a share of the rewards.
Ahh Christ... looks like another week of 18 hour days coding to get my new app out before @davidpakman finds another avenue to get this sorted.... ;)
Paying via upvotes has been on my mind too, but since you're already working on that I focus somewhere else. When can we see what you've been cooking?
:) Well I've probably shelved the anti-vote farming idea for a while, as it seems there's been a strong community outcry about it, so hopefully it can be collectively nipped in the bud now.
What I'm working on is a steem version of a really popular Australian website called Airtasker (there's also a US version from Amazon). You post tasks that you need done, and a suggestion for how much you are willing to pay, and then people make offers to do your task for whatever amount they are comfortable with. The only difference here is that because of the transparency of the blockchain, everyone can find out how much everyone else is offering to do the job. So it's going to be very free market. I guess that fits the ethos of steem, so it could be a good fit.
edit to add: It's going to be with steem/sbd. We need as many services and products available in steem currency to really allow it to start generating organic value.
This fits in with one of my projects I'm currently developing, but which has taken a back seat to my notification apps. I was actually hoping to have the next week off from coding, but every time I see someone mention something that fits in with one of my projects, I feel like I have to immediately bring it to "market".. ;) I'm wearing myself out, i think. Programming 18 hours a day isn't good for the body or mind...
But aren't Steemit Inc already working on making notifications better here?
Yes, we're working on a major overhaul of the notifications system that should be ready soon.
Community Liaison, Steemit
Ok, that's good to know. It will make it easier not to renew my server contract next month. It's been pretty expensive creating notifications for the platform, with very little support from the community (unlike say the massive support heaped on trivial and inane feature suggestions for steemit via utopian.io)....[/whinge] ;)
Who knows? You'd think that would be the first thing they'd do on a social networking like site. But here we are a year later and they still haven't done it. As it is, my notification app is at a standard where I'm happy to leave it for a while and work on other stuff. Or do nothing for a bit, which would be nice too... ;)
I've read that they should be introducing the new notification system before the end of this year. What does interest me is this other app of yours, you aren't on steem.chat?
Not much. I'm registered there, so if you tag me I'll get an email. I'm close to finishing this other project in at least a basic form, and to be honest, that's about as good as I want to make it. Eventually some developers will do a full on professional job of it, so I don't really want to waste too much of my time only to be crushed by a more professional outfit. Maybe in about two weeks I'll be able to release something.
Aren't there some good programs that will take voice and transfer it to text that will make it much easier and and affordable?
Another job taken by robots. /s
me too. get out fb and youtube... coming to steemit....
Good advice @jerrybanfield would definitely make a difference
Agree. And if more of these Youtubers do this, massive success will result. Have a word with KSI and the gang. Ha ha!
There’s a lot of potential by bringing over from YouTube in my opinion.
Follow me. @handmaqueen
I followed David Pakman here. I'm just beginning to explore now. I'll have more time on the weekend to figure everything out.
I think is a good idea @jerrybanfield... to watch video is impossible for me in certain situations..
Transcripts are really helpful for even more than that. I don't take in information in well via hearing it, I'm way more likely to read and understand a transcript.
Hi Jerry , You are my reason for joining steem. I followed you on facebook and you inspired my steem journey. I will like to connect with you as my mentor. hope to here from you soon. @attakye
We are very happy to have you here David! Thank you for asking your audience to join us!
Would you please start getting transcripts of your videos and including those in your Steem posts because this will help all your posts rank higher in Google search which will bring more readers to your blog, viewers to your videos, and users to Steem?
Very interesting @jerrybanfield, You are so kind, helpful in @SteemitCommunity. For everyone, Let us work together for unity and love.
Yes I agree with you. There should be something which will transcript for other bloggers to get into it.
