This is a sequel to my other story: The Fortune of François Martin, or How to Become a Crypto-Billionaire.
It is told by François Martin himself.
See Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, and Part 8.
In January 2025, I realized that it would take a long time for the video streaming business of Marjos Entertainment to become sustainable. So, from our family office, I sent 50 Bitcoins to Joséphine so she could be sure that Marjos could stream videos for at least 2 years.
I also sent 50 Bitcoins to my two sons: Clovis the agronomist/farmer and Charles the strata manager/realtor.
On April 15th 2025, Marjos Entertainment started to publish videos through their Subscribers-only account. They advertised this on all social media accounts they had, including Hive of course. I did the same.
They were able to publish 20 hours of videos during the first month. It was only one-third of their original objective of 60 hours (2 hours per day), but they were confident they could increase production. In fact, in May, they were able to publish one hour of videos per day.
For each of the video series, the first episode was published on Inleo with no restrictions and republished on the Subscribers-only channel with all the other episodes.
After one month, they had only 200 subscribers, far from the 10,000 that would make the business sustainable. These subscribers were enthusiastic Hivers who were talking about Marjos streaming business on all their channels. It was easy for them to advertise the business because the first episodes of each series could be seen by anybody.
At the end of June, there were several hundreds of new accounts created on the Hive blockchain by people who had learned about the Marjos streaming business. The streaming accounts had now more than 500 subscribers. Marjos was now producing 80 minutes of videos per day.
