Understand your Audiences and Build your Audiences and Create more comments

in #ddaily6 years ago (edited)


Please apologise for a long video and I do understand time is so important to everyone.

I try my best to write everything I talked about in the video here so you probably no need to waste your valuable time.

Also please note this is just my opinion and my opinions can be wrong and can be 100% wrong. I want to continue to learn and improve myself and my own life. Also Dtube. And I hope you learn something and let’s continue to learn and move forward together

  1. You can’t play Football in a cricket Stadium because the audiences came to watch Cricket. It doesn’t matter if you’re king of Football and you just need to understand the audience!

  2. If you still want to play football in the cricket stadium then you need to talk to the audience and build relationship and show them Football is more interesting and how amazing you’re then you can still play Football in the cricket stadium

  3. And don’t play cricket just because of money and may be you’ll make some money in the short term but definitely not in the long term because remember Football is the game you love playing and it’s good to play the you love for free for short term and make fortune in the medium and long term.

Also I talked about understanding the platform that you’re using and try to adapt and changing your style of play

Also I do not want to make Dtube to be just a clone of YouTube

I’ve big plans for Dtube and join the Dtube revolution

Have a wonderful day:)

Sorry @nathanmars I have to disagree on this one. I have been a content creator and a DJ for more or less 20 years (music mostly, although I admit I am new to video). And what have I learnt so far?

- With no content, there's no engagement

- When there's content and there's no engagement, the content is either not good or not appealing to the audience where the content is distributed to.

- One can.take two roads: create content for the audience (give them what they want), or create content that you love for the love of creating, and build an audience based on that (people who resonate with it will gravitate towards it).

For the first kind of content creators the quality doesn't need to be as high as the quality for the second kind of content.

When people came to my DJ performances I was known for a certain type of sound, but I would always study the musical background of the city the performance took place, in order to understand who was I playing to, and how to ultimately please them without prostituting my sound. (Adjusting my content in slight ways that would ensure maximum engagement). However if I showed up there and didn't play any music, people would leave, and the promoter would certainly have someone beat the crap out of me, and make sure I would never set foot on that city again.

So there's that, my two cents. I disagree.

No content, no engagement.

Crap content, no engagement.

Good targeted content (prostituting your content) high engagement, easier to build than the next kind of content which is

Great content from the heart, yields highest engagement and close knitted community around said content, although way difficult to build.

Cheers and see you next week.

I probably had to response to this comment in person at SF3.

Sorry about that and I owe your drink for creating the best DtubeSnap ever!!

Have a wonderful week :)

Looking forward @nathanmars :)

Thanks for the praise! Must up my game in the dtubesnap craft for the next one.

Looking forward forward to next week!

Cheers

Yes/Agree however when someone is investing 5-6 hours a day for 7 months from their heart. And then in the end no matter how much they give it all gets a slap in the face. You get told your crap, your nothing, your worthless.. your boring.. how much more can the person give with out feeling shit on. I am going to be honest with you. I am really not happy right now with how some of these creators are on a high horse and have their nose snubbed down on everyone else. I have never judged or attacked anyone. Even if they did have a boring video. I also know how to say my opinion with out being rude and insulting to people. I have given so much and have been treated like shit in return. Honestly Nathan I really appreciate your delegation. You said you would not judge. Well i am going to tell you, I do feel judged. In fact I feel like the people shitting on me and on the platform (saying its crap and no one is here watching) are treated nicer and with more respect, and have been rewarded for their abusive behavior. So please go ahead and remove all of the delegation. I will just make my "boring" "useless" videos with my little kid and grandma. And if people feel guilty and have a conscience it is not because "I" have made them feel that way. It is their gut reaction because they know what they did was not right.. and they are guilty of their own accord. So you can all just ignore me since I am so horrible. And I will spend those 7 hours a day with my family who loves and cares about me. Instead of trying to help people who shit all over me.

Take care Nathan.
I wish you all the best.

Sighs... What is this all about? I hope not about the DTube troll from last week. I thought we got past it? You did a very mature response to it and I thought you moved past it. I must be missing sth, other than that, I am always a text/call away if you need an ear. I don't think you're boring or find your videos useless, and I hope I never did make you feel so. Warm Hugs

Fuck that kind of people @kawaiicrush. The more attention you give, the more they will rejoice. You are not responsible for what the people think or say about you.

Any kind of success brings hating at some point. It only means you are doing it right.

It takes two for tango.

Take care honey

Turning criticism into a personal attack is entirely unacceptable. If he didn't like your video he had complete freedom to watch some other video. Ignore him. He made some valid points, but he could have done so without going after specific DTubers and still made his point. Look forward to seeing your next video, take care and remember to have fun.

Engagement is king! 💪🏼🙌🏼💯

I'm still waiting on my drink 🧡 Happy Halloween lololol

No I said I’m the King. lol

Engagement will allow us to build real human relationships and earn trust and reputation.

Earning Trust and reputation among the communities is the way anyone to become the King in Dtube.

Btw..
It would be nice to see your Dtube Vlogs or Snaps and let me know if I can help you with anything!

Have a wonderful day:)

I'm still waiting on my drink 🧡 Happy Halloween lololol

Engagement is King (Not Content)

What came first, the Egg or the Chicken?

For me I think content comes first. Creating Good Content provokes/leads to engagement.Look at the viral vlog that happened last week, it sparked a lot of conversation and reactions. I'm not saying it was great, but it was content.

Great Content makes people more interested to know more about you and keeps them eager for the next. I have creators who I am always looking forward to their next release, because of what they provide, in terms of quality and creativity.

Other than that, I agree 100% with everything else you said on this vlog. Understanding the Audience is really important as far as being on this platform is concerned- A Content Creation Platform ;)

Thanks for disagreeing with me and I must learn to disagree.lol

Yes 100% contents is comes first but Engagement is more valuable and building relationships are more valuable. With Dtube at the moment our older contents can’t create any value because audiences can’t view it after 30 days unless we hosted on our own IPFS. ( as far as I know)

But as a True content creator, we must be looking to build audiences for longer period of time because they’re the one who is gonna consume our contents.

Also we must understand that it’s 2018 that everyone wants to create and share something. So we must engage with others not just own own content.

We’re moving into new chapter with Dtube and we must respect the platform that we use and contribute to Dtube move forward and engagement is key. And people are just commenting only on their friends contents only.

Very recently I met my friend here in Japan who I told about Dtube 5 months ago and he is a professional videographer and posted 4 videos and no engagement and no upvotes. And stopped posting.

Simply we engagement is part of the content creators process. Early days of content creating one must focus on Engagement more than creating content.

I agree that for many, engagement first, seems to work. I disagree because I feel content should be first. It is what it is. Thanks for delving into this subject matter and your support.

I agree with you that engagement at this point of time is key, but however, we need to have a good content so that our followers will continue to follow us. I may be wrong. Coz I only post once on dtube, maybe 2 twice. The first was just a try out. However, I think to understand the platform in steemit is entirely different from youtube.

What your doing here on dtube is amazing, trying to get as many people into dtube but also be an original person in front of the camera is not easy task to find. I think to be on dtube, firstly they need to love the product. Without love, there is no continuation. That's my 2 cents.

Loving your 2 cents!

I watched your introduction vlog and the snap vlog and I feel you’re going a enjoy your journey here on Dtube.

Thanks for being part of Dtube Revolution!!

Have a wonderful day:)

I agree with you. Engagement dictates quality. If you are getting no response at all, what is the point? Here we are mostly creators. I like where @tanbay is going with it by looking at videos as a consumer. I like that idea, at the same time our current market is creators.

Loading...

You can't play football in a cricket stadium

This got me. I mean you have to first know your audience.. Get acquainted with your audience and then believe the system.. It might not get you bucks right now but in the long term, you will see result.. Nice write up @nathanmars. I love your way of life.

This is not a long video at all. Long video to me is 20 minutes to 30 minutes. Dtube is very different from YouTube. Because I don't engage in YouTube. I only consume the content. Muahaha. Sorry that say that. And I can't make any friends there either. Little engagement. I have been using YouTube ever since it started.

I have been on Dtube one month plus and I have gained friendship all across the globe. And we actually engage. Whether our video is pro or not, we watch because we want to support.

Well this is also just my personal opinion.

And hey was it the same park you walked like that day? With water and nature behind. And do you speak Japanese language?

I know you like the number 7.

See you another time Sir.

Many users here are having fun doing DtubeSnap. And I am amazed how much we can speak in 1 minute.

So let us keep learning and improving.

@nathanmars, nice DTube video. In my view, it is hard to say what is most important - content, or engagement, or quality of the video, etc. Yes, we are all people, but to some extent we are all different - everybody has different preferences, taste, and may like different things. So, for someone content is the most important thing, for someone quality of the video, for someone comments, etc.
I think the most important thing is that everybody is free to chose what he/she likes, and what to do. Freedom is the most important thing! If someone likes something let him do it.

Happy Dtubing!

cheers man, appreciate the comment u made on my video about posting stuff to engage w the dtube community, instead of just posting all my YT content here. cheers

You're welcome!
You must understand the market before you sell your product.
Hope to see you more in comments and a verification on YT channel (a link to Steemit/detube profile)

Thanks for the video. Smile. On behalf of everyone I apologize for long videos. Noted. Thanks for having a big huge plan for us on Dtube. Please bring the Dtube Revolution in. We are ready. 😎😎😎

good effort doing the video and adding some writing, it save time =)

awesome to see you touching so many with the dtubesnap and getting ppl to take action producing content.

You create wave man ! keep it going

Thank you so much!!

Everyone has the creative wave and I’m just passing the energy!

Yes I’ll be writing the summary in the description from today because I do know reading is effective. If you want to catch some energy then I do recommend you to watch Some Dtube videos:)

Have a 7 % better day today than yesterday:)

just by looking at my feeds i catch the energy =), think abt 70% are from your dtube snap resteem, so much activities

Keep impacting the 7% ppl out there daily

Watch out it might even become 99% of your feed and feel free to join the fun :)

It would be nice to have 1% to join and make it 100%

This is a very important review, I strongly agree that dtube is not the same as youtube, dtube is a blockchain platform and is very different from youtube, and don't try to equate it,. Dtube will continue to be in its golden age if we continue to promote throughout the country!

Let’s make the Dtube Revolution together!!!!!!

Ready, sir

Posted using Partiko Android

absolutely right there are a lot of things to learn in dtube even you don't read about dtube just by watching some dtuber's video can made us learn alot..

i always understand you brother, you are doing a great job as a dtuber keep up the good work and inspired a lot of dtuber's..

God Bless Brother!

Let’s learn together and enjoy our Dtube journey and make it a part of our life.

I do understand that you’ve data issues with internet providers in your countries and that’s why I choose to write something in the description.

Have a beautiful day brother:)

Yes brother..

Thank you so much for understanding brother,even my data is not good but i am still trying to watch each video here in dtube..

Have a blessed day bro!

You're not wasting my time at all, thank you for your time spent on the video. Agree. Cheers!

Every single time I record an video I feel that I’m wasting someone else’s time. Had tried to plan before do my video and I never was a planning person and I put a rule for myself to restrict my vlogs under one minute and DtubeSnap was born.

And my next Dtube baby is in the making..

Because I respect and value my time I respect other people’s precious time so much.

Next vlog is DtubeSnap and it’s only one minute. lol

Have a great day and I’m happy to watch you and Freedompoint together and maybe I forgot to comment. But I do watch most of your vlogs :)

No way man, we can always close the video if you're wasting our time. Or downvote it if we really don't like it, haha! Seriously, you're doing great things for dtube and the blockchain, I always appreciate what you have to say.
The DtubeSnap has been really fun, I love that I can watch many videos and check out what lots of people have to say in a shorter amount of time. I don't have time to check out everybody's videos but the snaps definitely help me see more.
Glad you liked seeing the @freedompoint video. It was fun having a fellow dtuber in town and getting to spend some time showing off the incredible place I live. My only regret is not taking more footage lol. Tons of great conversations happened though. I think he has another vid to post...
Have a great day and thank you for watching my vlogs! They've been a lot of fun to make.

Definitely I've been telling this to some people who churn out dtube videos without even taking time to engage an audiences, only money momruy money

Upvote me
Watch me
Support me will push people away and only getting bot attention.

If someone wants real attention then they must engage and contribute more.

Have a wonderful day:)

@nathanmars, In my opinion at this moment, both Content and Commenting (Engagement) is parallel aspect, but for sure Commenting hold the extra weight-age because the Process Of Building-Up particular community is done by Engagement and by that i mean we have to create content but at the same time we have to put extra effort in Engagement and in this way two things will happen and that is, you are giving more value to others and inturn you are accumulating more audiences for your content. So, engagement hold the upper hand when we talk about the Steem and Dtube Economy. Thanks focusing upon this point brother.

Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

Thanks for expressing your feedback.

I think I might have to focus on being parallel.

I feel at this early stage of Dtube Revolution the engagement will create more value to the content creators and the dtube.

I know most people are actively engaging within Discord and I love Discord and it’s a cool tool however I feel it’s not really healthy for Dtube ecosystem and Steem economy.

Thank you for teaching so many ways of thinking through your thoughtful comments!!

Welcome and yes, it's important to share what we think and receive what others think so that with Collaborated thoughts we can expand more possibilities. Have a great time ahead brother. 🙂

amazing brother as long as i know you i started to realize i learned to run on the dtube platform.

Yes you have to learn so much!!

I’m happy to see you’re commenting more and more and also extremely happy to see that you only have one Dtube account!

I’m enjoying watching you grow with dtube!

Have a wonderful day:)

100% agree with you @nathanmars.

As my point comments encourage & improve our contents quality. Also I would be more important to community growth up.

Also Re-blogging is another terrific point for introduce peoples to content creators. Especially more valuable for newbies.

I Trust you and I can see your efforts!

Watched your last video and I saw more confident @madushanka and keep learning and keep improving.

Also I’m happy to see your comments on my fellow Dtubers contents! Keep up the good engagement :)

Hi @nathanmars , I agree with you that we should convince audience and make them interested in what we want.

Posted using Partiko Android

I don’t like people who agrees with me. Just kidding.

Have a wonderful day

Excellent video, and I look forward to tour future videos. I would say that I agree with you, I think good content is important, but it is also subjective, what is good to one person might be horrible for another. Communication and engagement however are key to building an amazing truly social community with people all over the world.

If we talked just about content then we should talk about how much value that content is adding for someone else.

If we talk about the content creator then We must talk about how much value the content creators journey is bringing to other people’s life

As Dtube community is still small and at this stage, every dtuber need to focus on engagement more than just creating contents and putting the number on vlog to say “Dtube Vlog #xx” “Dtube Exclusive” because I made the same mistakes and I’m trying to share my own experiences here.

Actually I wanted to ask you if you ever tried create content on Dtube ??

This is great example for understanding all.
So we need to prove it-

  • this is our community,
  • we love this community,
  • we don't come here only for money,
  • we don't want it as like youtube.

So for proving that we should joint the revolution with more and more engagement.
@hafizullah

I love “We” and I should use “We” more instead of I!!!

“We didn’t come here ONLY for money”

I think your third point is very honest and we should really make most dtubers to be open and honest as possible

Sir let it be any % We are always with you.

Thank you for the support!

If you disagree then please learn to disagree and tell me why because if you agree everything I say then you’re not growing and I’m not growing!

Keep up the good work :)

That's right if we don't elaborate our words the audience won't be able to get the point and would remain in confusion i.e the person agreed to them or not.

In this case what we think is that none of them is a KING as you would require both CONTENT and ENGAGEMENT to work upon here because without CONTENT their would be no ENGAGEMENT and if you don't engage with other people they might be interested to look in your future CONTENTS that is why both are equally the KING or you can say a COALITION of both of them makes a good DTuber or a real CREATOR.

And Thanks Sir, for such an interesting topic because we are doing all these everyday and not working on these things. If we create a balance between the two we would be just awesome CREATORS which would also benefit DTube's platform to grow as well

I'm really sorry I missed your call.

Please call me again and I'm looking forward to having conversation with you :)

yes, agree 100%

Thank you so much for being honest!

I truly appreciate you for teaching valuable lessons in my journey here on Dtube and I’m excited to learn more and improve!

Have a wonderful day:)

You are very welcome :D

Life is all about learning for everyone. To be alive, really alive, we need to learn to grow or we get old and cranky!!! I have the white hair and can not do anything about that but learning I can.
Peace!

Yes we’re alive really alive here on Dtube.lol

So many Dtubers are waking up now!

Thanks for your input:)

ahhhhh. this is bang on man.

It’s the fuel that feeds us man. to create daily without the engagement is such a let down.

when we engage daily. it’s worth so much more to the experience. love this message man.

When I talk about engagement you’re first Dtuber comes to mind because I know how much you value engagement more than upvotes and Resteem!

#engagetogrow

Excited to meet you in person at SF3 and have a safe trip to Poland 🇵🇱

i like that hashtag too. engagetogrow. that highlights the mission for sure.

yeah man. less than a week now for me.

Posted using Partiko iOS

it's a brilliant hashtag if you ask me

very good lesson for us dtube beginners >:

I’m glad to hear.

I’m a dtube beginner too and I always be a beginner and I don’t know that much.

Every single day I’m learning, improving, making mistakes and connecting with my fellow dtubers and building friendship and relationships.

I don’t give advice but some suggestion,
Learn everyday and improve everyday

Have a wonderful day

gonna slide this "1percentbetter" haha

I only like number 7 not 1

Make it 7percent better and create Dtube contents and share your contents with our Dtube community and we’ll be really happy to learn from 1%better. lol

haha you really like 7. nxt time i will upvote your post with 7% =)

Hello sir @nathanmars
i already make two videos but why you does't support me. Sir actually what is the problem in my videos. Please check it.
1st videos
https://steemit.com/dtubesnap/@moniristi/2xifq8is#comments

2nd videos
https://steemit.com/dtubesnap/@moniristi/n909dy6j

Thanks......

You’re the worst Dtuber ever because you’re not adding value to anyone with your engagement and not even creating authentic Dtube contents.

And you go to someone’s post and drop the link to your post asking for support (upvote)

And you know this is not first time I’ve been telling you to FIX it.

FIX It now or don’t come here in comments again

okay @nathanmars sir i will try my best for creating authentic Dtube contents..

Did you actually understand what I’m trying to say in this content?

Create More meaningful and impactful comments and build human relationships with other Dtubers

And once you made new Dtube friends then tell me their Steemit username and I’ll check your Dtube videos

Nice

Cheers.

Happy November :)
