DTube Video Ad #1 for YouTube!
Will we fund our first DTube video advertising campaign on YouTube because the rewards will be spent on ads placed with Google AdWords for video which is how we make YouTube ads? The total will equal the author rewards payout minus 25% which DTube receives first meaning all that I receive will be added to the advertising budget below!
How many new users will we convert to DTube after YouTubers see that DTube accepts any upload and all videos can be watched with no ads AND earning is as easy as getting upvotes? For every $1 we fund in this post, we can expect to reach 100 to 200 viewers on YouTube with the great news about DTube! Watch the video for the ad uploaded first to DTube and then to YouTube and Facebook next!

Review the budget from all of our advertising campaigns together so far at https://airtable.com/shrXuoYTnODWA0QG1 which also shows individual contributions!
The video is now live on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/jbanfield/videos/1531765216843649/ and YouTube at
If you would like me to do a post like this raising funding for Facebook ads, would you please request that in the comments because then I will know that is a good idea in addition to doing YouTube ads?
Love,
Jerry Banfield
PS: Witness votes are the most powerful votes we make on Steem because one vote for a witness lasts indefinitely! Would you please make a vote for jerrybanfield as a witness or set jerrybanfield as a proxy to handle all witness votes at https://steemit.com/~witnesses because when we make our votes, we feel in control of our future together?

Jerry, thanks for your post; you bring up some interesting points.
I have a few questions about dtube capabilities, so I have posted about it here.

Hey Jerry. Love the idea, but maybe we should give DTube at least a few months or so to get geared up. I think a campaign to fund @heimindanger full time for his project might be a better use of resources. I would hate to see DTube overloaded in the first few weeks.
Robert yes we would all love to see a growth project get funded for DTube! Thank you for contributing to the ads with your upvote!
Your comment here has guided me to make the ads to spend $5 a day for now which will reach a few thousand people a day on YouTube. For reference, I usually started the other campaigns around $20 to $100 a day. A $5 a day budget on YouTube will ensure we do not have a sudden overflow from users seeing the ads while providing a consistent influx of new users each day that will hopefully begin using DTube over the next few months slowly at first and then more and more. By the time the new users are really excited and inviting friends and family, DTube will then be in a better position for higher traffic levels!
Great. This seems like a good compromise. Steady inflows until Steemit and DTube can scale up.
Excited to see how this does @jerrybanfield - please keep us updated!
Sincerely,
@joeparys
Yes!
I agree. The platform and server space needs to be capable of a huge influx of users and of storage space. We don't want an Obamacare 2.0 haha
You make a good point my friend, I think so too
I was thinking the same the thing. I think it's too soon.
Can someone please explain what is the difference of using DTube?, does it use our steempower?, because is yes then why would I use the site?, People complain about Youtube and ads but hey! You watch ads too whenever you watch tv. If you hate ads so much install Adsblock Plus or get YouTube Red, just remember that your favorite YouTube is making content that you enjoy, the least you could do is watch those ads.
And sadly Youtube have the most traffic, why would I want to share my videos on a site that doesn't have a huge volume, in my case I need both, Spanish and English traffic searching for keywords etc. Thank you for anyone that is able to answer me this!
Good idea robert
absolutely agree, growing too fast can be more dangerous than doing so too slowly.
Dtube looks promising
nice keep on bro
The promotion for Steem is getting bigger and bigger!
I would hold off for now because dtube is way too buggy
Can anyone steer me in the direction of how to edit videos for dummies? I have a powerful desktop PC running Windows 10 Pro so I think video exiting is within my wheelhouse. I really want to start making videos for DTube because I think this was really needed as I have stated in the past and I think a decentralized video streaming service is really the solution to the Google/YouTube censorship and content creator disincentive they have recently put up. I think with Steemit and DTube we can have a place for Free Speech throughout the World where we can find and communicate with those who we want to minus any illegal stuff like CP which I utterly despise. If the devs could somehow make an Android/Android TV/Roku app I think DTube will really take off and then Apple will have to be next. I can't wait to get in there and hopefully learn how to cut in some videos with my audio over it or something like that. Will DTube eventually support live-streaming because I think this is definitely a trend that is here to stay with Google Hangouts and Facebook live, Periscope and YouTube streaming? Can't wait to see more of DTube. Wish we could have named it with a vote/contest. I would have went for DeSteem.com where you can blow off some Steam in a decentralized format and earn STEEM and reputation points from Upvotes. This may be a great way to get YouTubers over to Steemit. I really hope this is a huge success and props to the creator. You have done what I only wish I could do. How is it being funded now? I would like to throw in some support.
On Udemy you will find many courses on producing video from beginner to advance
On windows I like Camtasia for editing and screen capture recording!
I think the easiest software out there right now is OBS (Open broadcast software). It does screen recording, audio recording, and webcam recording and then you can edit your video within OBS (or you can even edit while you are recording).
You can use power director or Filmora which is so easy and fast for home videos.
For basic video editing, the built in Windows Movie Maker.
Upvoting to fund this project! Thank you, Jerry!
