RE: What Does The Future Hold For Us Webmasters? We Need Your Help Steemit Community!

in #steemit8 years ago

That‘s what friends are for (too). Your travel book project will be one of my next as I start working on it today. I should like to make a general presentation of you, a sort of written „artist portrait“, if you like. For friends in my vicinity I made short videos, too. Some of them can be seen on YouTube. Will be another theme on Steemit maybe. #videos: It‘s so much easier for you to use this medium for moneymaking. My partner is the no cell phone, no internet, no camera type and it is tough to produce a video without assistance. But you can do more with videos. Maybe my „problem“ can be your „solution“ (I speak in these terms because many successful business projects begin with an idea to solve a problem). Sometimes during or after lunch I think it might be nice to see a short video about some lifestyle or traveling stuff. Like Sarah Wiener‘s report, for example. We chose a country or region and... the disappointment is close. Some videos are just a short footage, others are too long and the introduction is a bore. Others are plastered with noisy ads. Some are really disturbing with unpleasant music and shouting, clapping and too much blabla... I would look for nice friendly smooth funny cultivated etc travel and culture reports with a duration of ten to fifteen minutes. There are some but I wasted so much time on them. Some teenies make dozens of reports about countries with really zero knowledge about the culture of their host country. Like a German guy in Japan who obviously only held monologues about nothing with so much to tell around. I looked at some of his videos because I could not believe my eyes. So, if you are labelled „for 91 days“ why can‘t you make a vlogging series like 11 minutes? DTube looks very promising. These are my themes now: looking for useful bots (why not), studying alt coins (btw), preparing myself for DTube, and presenting my projects and proposals on utopia-io. You are doing a lot of networking and that‘s good. Have you joined Discord and especially the German speaking group? This can be uplifting. I joined the Austrian group steemit-austria. There is so much information and support and also fun sometimes. The 6th Austrian meeting will be on Jan. 21 in Vienna and I am looking forward to many of those I am in exchange with. @yourmate hopefully will join the group and participate.
So, that‘s pretty much for here and now. Have a good day. 🙂😉

Thank you so much for your input and you're right, videos is very very promising and holds so much potential in fact the highest income for For 91 Days is through Youtube Videos. We do post of roughly could videos of the places we visit but to be honest, neither Mike or I want to stand in front of a camera (that's why I chose to stand behind it) and create and really want our videos reflect what a place is on it's own BUT ... I do cut together one final video with all the video highlights for each For 91 Days like this one for example:

(sorry .. I chose Valencia especially for you .. the most recent one about Vietnam has higher production value). But let's see how things are developing, right now our main income are our non travel websites but as I said the decline of income through them is worrying.

I'm going to se what's going on Discord ... it's just hard sometime to pop in as the new guy.

@martinamartini You don't even know how much I value you your support and encouragement! You're our Austrian snowflake and sunshine!

Oh! I like your video! I saw it before. In some parts the coordination of music and film is real art work, fantastic. I like the music choice, too.
And the scenery. These old traditions look so weird. A long time ago, I watched Andalucia TV and they broadcast so much catholic events and on the other hand, in the evening there are quite extreme esoteric shows.
Don‘t say, it‘s nothing for me to stand in front of the camera. It‘s just practice. You both are handsome. A lot of not so handsome people run successful vlog series on YT! Start with a short intro or better, use the interview style. It‘s so much easier to reply the questions. I tried. If one of is shy, he can ask from the background. Or you just insert a question and answer it. With more routine, you can start to pep it up...
Discord: right now I am subscribed to the Austrian channel and some minnow support community. I am active in the first one and entered the other one by chance. I think you saw the info about the German community already. I posted it a short tlme ago. https://steemit.com/deutsch/@theaustrianguy/the-german-community-has-it-s-own-discord-server-now-weekly-meetups-planned-ger
You said something nice about me, in words that no one said to me before. You are giving me such a good feeling saying that I bring sunshine in your life. So do you. It‘s good to be useful and it‘s heaven to get appreciated.
Tell you an anecdote. We had a cat named snowflake who was aged and went over the rainbow several weeks ago. She just slept from one place to the other. I felt that only her body had gone but that the spirit of the cat is still around us. Maybe on quantum level some information came over to you? And Cat is one of my dozens of nicknames... So, hope that made you laugh or at least smile a little bit! I must stop. I wanted to read your books but now you are stopping me from it!! (Just kidding!) 😀

You're truly the best!!! Enjoy the books ... hope you like them.

At work (at fun!!)... Some Steemians had severe issues to post these days with bandwith jumping up and down from 97 per cent to minus 172 per cent and there is no reason for. It‘s like being blocked, could only read... :((( I discovered mistakes in my former posts to you (the cat anecdote) and could not correct them, too bad. Now it works and I hope the turbulences are over.
