(RESTEEMED)
DUDE! This is exactly what I've been doing! I publish my "Daily Hustle" videos on YouTube (monetization turned off because I offer my own products on these videos) and THEN also publish the videos, (with a short description) here on Steemit!
And, when I started, I was NOT doing it for the STEEM that I would earn (primarily) because I really didn't know too much about it, but I was doing it because STEEMIT has a high authority in Google's eyes. (high SEO ranking power) and it provides a great backlink for my YT videos.
Not to mention the fact that I am bringing my content to an entirely new audience that is poised to GROW.
Now, although I wasn't doing it for the "money", I knew I was earning Steem and recently was able to take some of that Steem and buy a few other cryptos, so now I have investment in Steem and a couple other cryptocurrencies.
It's been a blast and I look forward to checking in to Steem every day, to post my daily video, but also to see how people have replied, upvoted and reacted to my posts.
I have never made more than about $46 on one post, but again, that's not the main reason I'm doing it.
Another reason to be here now is "first mover advantage". By establishing yourself here on a new network that is poised to grow, you are in a great position when it does go nuts!
Anyway, thanks for your post - it was not only reinforcing what I believe was a good idea, but it also gave me some good insight into this plan.
