Let me share with you a story...
Meet Jongo - He's a content creator, entrepreneur and all around swell dude!
He's been building businesses online and writing his blog for almost 2 decades and stumbled across 'a certain blockchain' about 2 and a half years ago...
Jongo fell in love with the potential of it. He saw a long term strategy of being able to create content on it while spreading the message of how important this blockchain could be...For not only content creators but online entrepreneurs in general.
He decided to create a Patreon page for his project to bring awareness to 'that certain blockchain'...
Hoping to get support from the outside community, he started spreading the word about the blockchain and all it's amazing potential...As you can see, Jongo got discouraged pretty quickly....
Now that being said, Jongo didn't promote his Patreon page as much as he should have...Because he was too busy building his training platform for the blockchain (@SteemSavvy) and integrating it into his online business @ClickTrackProfit
But still....It's discouraging to put that much effort into helping spread the news about the blockchain and getting such little support....
Thus is the story for most content creators...They have all the passion in the world, but finding the support to 'keep going' can be quite a daunting task...
And then HIVE happens...
More specifically one of the leading applications on the blockchain...
@PeakD happens...
And I'm not sure if people saw what these amazing entrepreneurs did last week but they introduced...Tipping or as they call it 'Creator Support Tools!!
Here's my big bold statement...
PeakD's Tipping feature can remove the need for ANY creator to rely upon Patreon to support their content creation journey. (And stop being so discouraged in the process...)
Here's why:
1. It removes the '7 day payout' window - This was a huge concerns specifically for vloggers and blockchain creators that used video for their content. You see, after 7 days and the upvotes have been tallied, their content really didn't have much 'future'...Now a creator can post their content on @threespeak or @dtube and STILL get rewarded after the 7 day payout window has passed. This alone, is SO important to attract creators to the blockchain.
2. It's integrated RIGHT into PeakD - No need to fumble around, and try to figure out how TIP someone....Just find the 'gift' icon below the post, decide what you want to tip and let the application do the rest. It's seamless and easy to use. Which again, is very important to the blockchain experience.
3. This Is HIVE's Version Of BAT - I don't mess around with a lot of crypto projects. I look for use case, which is why I'm so bullish on HIVE...But another project I absolutely love is BAT or the Basic Attention Token. Which combines with the Brave browser to allow you to 'tip' content creators around the web....The PeakD tipping feature is our little version of the BAT tips!
4. It Doesn't Rely On The Rewards Pool - I get a kick out of the rewards pool and think it's fascinating, but this feature does not rely on the rewards pool for creators to actually...Get rewarded! This is a big plus for the blockchain because far too many times, we promote HIVE as being a place where you get 'upvotes'! Which is true, but combine that with a tipping feature that doesn't use upvote power...You can see how this can be a big win for creators in the long run!
And at the end of the day, it helps build even stronger communities. Sites and services like Patreon fulfil a human desire to 'belong' to something bigger. When I support a creator on Patreon, I feel like I'm helping them in their journey and that matters to me because it's a journey I believe in as well...
It feels good to support creators you get value from and allows for people to really feel a part of something.
We can do that with ease now on HIVE and @PeakD ! And for these reasons stated above, I believe we can attract more amazing creators and support the ones that are doing great things here right now...
It's time to #ThriveOnHive
