hi @onnovocks
I will never have an audience, or at a minimum it will take years to build one
Why not? I would be happy to help.
Most important is to keep records of all your most active followers (in notepad/excel) and spent some time every now and then engaging with them.
Building "core" of an audience is the most important. If people will notice that there is always few comments then it will atract them more than anything else.
After all this is how most people select quality content: by scrolling down right away and looking if there are any interesting comments. I do it to. If I see only comments from bots then I tend to ignore post.
So if you would like to blog more about blockchain/crypto then I can help you get some exposure. You can mix it with your music passions.
Cheers
Piotr
The reason I'll never develop a steady audience is because I don't/can't stick to 1 genre of music (see what I wrote about YT).
As an example: One of my videos was stolen; copied, cut and uploaded to FB. On someone else's FB account that only handled the Blues; that stolen video got 1,400 views per day!! On my YT channel it got 700 views in 6 months. It had nothing to do with the quality of the recording because that track ended up on the live CD for the band and it was good enough to steal and risk getting caught (which he did).
The reason that the video got so few views on my YT channel is because most of the folks that follow me there are into Rock and Metal and they don't really care for 40's or 50's style Blues.
I'm not a blogger, I came here because I was told that DTube was a good altrnative to YouTube. As it stands, DTube wasn't really working for me. It's missing a feature I absolutely can't do without, forcing me to use YT for that, and I do not have time to game the system after spending 2 or 3 days making a video (this is true for YT as well; Sites like devumi(.)com were selling views and subs, not unlike the bots on Steemit).
For me the challenge is to make a halfway decent music video under less than perfect circumstances and I don't care who is on Stage as long as they can play :) To do this I deal with bad lighting, drunks, and audiences that like to hear themselves talk.
I can't chase after only Jazz or only Rock bands, it would be far too time consuming, I get what I get. Such is life :)
Piotr, thank you for your offer to help and your time, but videos is all I really do. Crypto currencies only interest me as far as participating in a new economy and the constant banter about this coin or that coin, up or down, etc don't interest me enough to write a decent article on the subject, even if I am interested in what knowledgeable folks have to say about it.
Kind regards,
Onno.
Dear @onnovocks
Of course.
Yours,
