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

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!
Greattttt!!
I started to post video in dtube but it has a little corcern about the audio. Is it usually like that? here's my video if you want to see https://steemit.com/dtube/@haleyaerith/uq2vc49e
Sorry just asking. 😊upvoted!
Voted for you as a witness. Thanks for all you do for Steemit Jerry!
Lyndsay thank you very much for voting for me as a witness and commenting here to help me see it!
My Pleasure.
Great video Jerry! I will begin testing now by uploading some of my videos as well! This looks like another amazing opportunity and thank you for sharing this with us! I have upvoted and also re-steemed this post to all of my followers! Thanks again for all of your support!
Sincerely,
@joeparys
Not everyone's upvote equals 7 dollars.
Do you think false advertising is gonna work in the long-term?
I don't think so...
You're right the average upvote is a few cents meaning a new user cannot just sign up and vote up $7. Some might be disappointed to discover this. That said, some upvotes are over $100 and anyone investing as much as I have can upvote $7. When the price of Steem goes to $10, a lot of upvotes will be worth $7.
I was so focused on dtube providing content creators freedom from censorship and didn't even realize being ad-free is such a huge plus for community, most of the time I skip ads on YouTube now I don't have to worry about it. To support my favorite channels now I just upvote with my SteemPower!
I can't WAIT to see a comparison on what you earn in 1 week on dtube verse what you earn in 1 YEAR on YouTube :) ...with the same videos ;D Keep it goin...this is huge!!!
At this rate DTube will be bigger than YouTube in a few months! Great video idea!
wow for real? i'd love to see some stats on this!!
"The miracle we've been looking for in online video!" Great quote brotha
Thank you @stealthtrader for noticing :)
What an irony Dtube on youtube :D
Hi everyone !
I just uploaded my first video to dtube, but when i click play on it it actually doesn't play.
Can someone confirm that, please?
Here is the link to it: https://dtube.video/v/tomaszs77/vxhlfpgy
i've seen the same issue on other videos from other users.
Thank you.
it's playing just fine.
Thank you for checking.
I had to wait for it to start playing, not sure why.
it was <60 MB file 720p .
I think there is nothing to worry about just wait a little.
The platform is great anyway.
Wow good idea
hi jerry bro what is the name of your video screen recorder :)
Wirecast
thank you @jerrybanfield
I upvoted but... i'm not sure that now is a good time to advertise DTube i think is too early
It is! At the same time, today is the best opportunity for new users to get started while the competition is the lowest. As DTube grows, it will be more and more challenging for a new creator to get noticed!
No better TIME to Start then Today. Don't put off 'til tomorrow what can be started today. Go @jerrybanfield !!!
Watched it. and liked it... Loved your work... I liked the collaboration between you and Terry Brock.. 4 hrs back I was watching his 7 tools video where he was mentioning about you and now you are also liking his video.. this is awesome...
@onority thank you for helping me see the effectiveness of doing good collaborations because it is so seductive for me to just sit at home and work alone!
Amen!
HeY Jerry .. could you evaluate this idea i have ? - )
i believe STEEM has some "built-in" MARKET LEVERAGING "DEVICES" -))
STEEM 10 + ERUPTION !! ... A BILLION SMILES !! - ))
.. how to leverage 'markets' with temporary consensus - ))
love you work Br.OTHER - ))
lovelovelove )))
greb'Z )
Jerry you are always welcome... I love your work...and I hope you get more and more seductive to create more... Haha
Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool... i wont stop now. You make me crazy to be honest how cool is it? I would like to start making video too.
Any tips? Feel free to share it with me so I can start recording a video
I am in Favor of this GREAT Idea that @jerrybanfield is proposing to expose DTube to the YouTube audience. Anything that makes STEEMIT bigger and Flourish in the Future is positive for everyone that is already here. One Day at a Time Jerry is making STEEMIT the place to be......................................
something is wrong with dtube, I see the thumbnail just of the most upvoted video, and the old video are even not opening (
When I heard of dtube, I thought it was something similar to redtube... haha
Great work man for integrating adsense with dtube
Pretty cool Jerry. I been watching your videos on youtube for a few weeks now and have become very interested on steem. I just went and try Dtube for the first time. I was having some problems watching some videos but it looks promising! Thanks for sharing!
Hey man, from a personal experience I think 30 second adds tend to be the most effective, also the first five 5 seconds are crucial and the "hook" you used may not be the best. Just wanted to give my opinion about the add so you have some feedback when you evaluate it's performance. Cheers
This would be a great fix! I uploaded the same video twice thinking I screwed it up the first time. Also, if you posted something to the content creator that it wouldn't be up for an hour or 2 or whatever, the content creator won't get freaked out when they don't see their content up immediately. Thank you so much for creating this platform. It will be quite the gem. It's gonna be cool, for you, to know you started this, even if it was built upon another company's idea...isn't that how most things get started? Thanks!!!!!
Hi @heimindanger, None of my videos work :( Maybe it is the subtitles?
why is it my comment end up down the bottom of the page ?
Hi Jerry - I uploaded a video but cant see the video, I only see the thumbnail all the way through when I play it - Can Someone tell me if you see the video or just the thumbnail thank you all click the link - Also is there a way to edit here or delete the video to start again ?

Yes indeed it works!
The more YouTube continue to censor content the more Dtube will rise to the top. Simple law of Karma. The morons should learn to stop censoring content.
Dtube will soon take over Facebook and YouTube with the help of steemit. The free-market has indeed spoken.

good news, thank you, upvoted
@jerrybanfield DTube is certainly raising quite a stir here, which is awesome! I have heard quite a few "bug" complaints floating around too though... but I suppose time will iron out all the creases.
I have not tried it myself yet (still trying to get use to putting my face on my headers...lol - that is overwhelming enough for now haha!!)
I think DTube will be hugely successful! - Your personal promotion of the initiative is precisely what team work is all about!
I write a little about my (teeny tiny) team just now too... one of our "team building" adventures together :) Hope you enjoy it Mr. President ;)

Hi, Jerry, I am A S M Sayeam. I like it, This is my first comment. I follow you on all social media, also same goes her. Would you please help me following here @asmsayeam. Thanks
Hey jerry , your Campaigns are great but i see that today some people are having problems with dtube ,
Read and upvote this if possible
https://steemit.com/dtube/@steempoweruser/did-dtube-just-die-23-aug-2017
I have it too, I'm looking at the codec. It has to be compliant, there is no recoding. Try @bitchute it works because it recodes.
Good I really like your post
I like it but I think is a bit early to talk about it!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing. Amazing earning capabilities. I hope this platform will overcome Youtube, Facebook, Twitter.
Very good video. Thank you for sharing. Some amazing earning capabilities. I hope this free speech platform will overcome youtube, reddit, facebook and Twitter.

Not sure how many people will make the switch. Still too new to tell but I am hopeful that some of the glitches will be worked out with it. Some videos I haven't been able to watch without it freezing in the middle. Thanks for adding more information.
@jerry, hey man thanks. watched it already, nice video!
Do you think you will head over to Dtube or do both (youtube also) after launch?
