Why I chose Steemit over YouTube

in #steemit7 years ago

Pros & Cons of each site

YouTube

Pros:

  • It's easy to make your own account, it doesn't need to do more complicated stuffs
  • You may enhance your talking skills and editing skills (when making your videos for YouTube)
  • You earn by having views (example: $1/1000 views, or by monetizing your videos)

Cons:

  • You need to have your own accessories like camera, tripod, microphone and MORE! (It will cost around hundred of dollars)
  • *optional* You edit your videos (most YouTubers edit their videos longer than taking the video)
  • It's harder to earn money than Steemit

Steemit

Pros:

  • It enhance your writing skills and teaches you how to market your own blogs
  • Steemit provides you your own password, it's very long and complicated, that makes your account safer
  • It's easier to earn than YouTube

Cons:

  •  *not all* It took me 1 day before my account is verified
  • It takes 7 days before you receive your payment, but after that 7 days, you won't receive any payment anymore in that "BLOG"

Youtube is fist feeding you with videos, plus who gets the money? Also, do they pay us to watch the adds?

Let's wait to see how Brave can reward us for watching ads (with BAT).
About YouTube, if you are not very popular, the best way to earn money is clearly with affiliation.

It is interesting but why you can't do both?
It is not the same kind of social media, and it can be complementary to each other.

Thats a good idea, but its just hard to edit vids haha
