If you had a chance to listen to the past few Crypto Maniacs podcasts, we've been blessed with a wealth of content from the 3speak team! And one of the messages they champion is how important it is to use real Web 3 for everything you do in a social media space.
In today's post, I wanted to highlight a few reasons why this is not just savvy advice but it could determine your future success when trying to build an online business or persona brand.
First, the problem....
That's the advice you hear around most 'experts' and leaders in the entrepreneur space. They say it's the way to get your message out to the masses and after a few (years), you may even get monetized!!!
Here's the truth of it, you'll need a minimum 1000 subscribers and like 10,000 hours of views to every be considered. Heck it might be more now. And then you are just fighting for peanuts. YouTube, as much as they say they care about small creators, care about Mr. Beast. They care about the creators that drive big traffic to their videos because that's where they get to show the most ads.
Look, video is important! It's arguably the most important medium to distribute your content around. And things like YouTube and TikTok are kings of it. But not only do you have an uphill battle to get monetized, it'll be so hard to stick out from all the noise....
Speaking of which, the second problem....
There's a popular saying for content creators that was written by a YouTube expert named Roberto Blake. His theory is that to just get noticed, takes 100 pieces of content and then to make your first dime takes about 1000 pieces of content too.
That requires....A lot of time and a whole lot of followers!
And people get deflated and worn out when they show up, day after day, and ever see any progress.
So what do we do?
To me, it's simple! And it's on the Hive blockchain and all it's amazing applications. Here's 2 solutions from the above problems facing creators and entrepreneurs....
My good buddy @taskmaster4450 just uploaded his 2000th video to 3speak. Now go ask him how many videos he has on YouTube?
And he'll tell you, that his first videos and content on the blockchain were awful. But he kept showing up....
Now he's always one of, if not the most, rewarded and well known Hive community members ever. He's built relationships with a number of people on chain and continues to be a champion for everything being built on Hive.
Here's the kicker....He's earning some VERY nice rewards along the way. His content can never be removed, it's on the blockchain for life and he continues to grow day after day.
Be like Task, use 3speak for all your video uploads!!!
Love Instagram? Use @liketu
Stream on Twitch? Dive into @vimm
Love blogging about crypto? Use @leofinance
Into content discovery? My goodness, please use Veews lol
The point being, you will grow your following on Hive and it's related apps / communities a WHOLE lot easier than on traditional social media. Like, night and day easier!!!
How long does it take for an average Joe to build his or her following on Instagram?
Unless you are wearing next to nothing, it's takes a TON of effort and time. Shouldn't you invest that time on a blockchain that:
Potentially rewards you RIGHT away!
Can never remove your content!
It truly decentralized!
Has passionate community members that actually support each other!
And the list goes on and on...
Hey, I'm not saying...Don't use Web 2.
I'm saying focus here first....Build and grow your following and reputation on the only TRUE web3 and decentralized social media blockchain in history. ;)
