Hi Friends!

I feel like we just had a big moment here on Steemit. How many of you actually check the trending page? Of those people…do you go there to look for up and coming Steemians?

We all know the trending page is really more of an advertising page at this point where you either need to:

  • Be a whale

  • Be voted by a whale

  • Purchase votes from a bot service

Can you guys remember the last time a post dominated the trending page solely because that person put out an amazing piece of content?? I honestly just thought that didn’t really happen anymore. It made me SO excited to see @bonniepiesse’s Dlive video be so well supported by the community!

If you are living under a rock and haven’t seen it yet – you can watch her Dlive video HERE. Seriously, go follow her because she’s amazing and has been providing awesome content to the community for a couple months now. Not to mention she’s really sweet and super engaged with everyone she interacts with.

I just thought this was worth mentioning and celebrating – because it gives me hope that someone can invest a ton of energy into making a professional level piece of content and be recognized for it. I think any musician around the world that saw her video would feel inspired to come here and start sharing some of their passions. This would honestly be a great video to share with any of the creative entrepreneurs in your life.

Shout out to Bonnie and her husband @markvicente for making such a quality piece of content for Dlive and Steemit, and an even bigger shout out to the community for recognizing and supporting them! While we are doing shout-out's... @benleemusic is the person that brought them on to the platform - so be sure to stop by and say hi to him too!

Thanks for watching and I hope you all have a wonderful day.

XO, Lea

My video is at DLive

Sort:  

I went to the pointed post, and first thing I said was "WOW !" .
What ? $860+ for upvotes. Without BOT's ? Mind blowing !

But after next 10 seconds, SteemPlus easy demystified all this success - over 80+% of those rewards came from just the TOP-5 upvoters:

I'm sooooo honored that you made this post!! @markvicente really really outdid himself on that one, so I'm a lucky girl having his skills on hand!
A HUGE thank you to Dlive for their support!! And to everyone else who upvoted, commented and resteemed it... I was totally blown away by the response 💗🌟🙏

@bonniepiesse I hope you cooked @markvicente a nice dinner for that one :)

Big love to you! <3

I saw that video by @bonniepiesse .


The amount of work and excellence in that video is top notch, in my opinion, the best I've seen thus far. It's quite amazing that her quality content earned her such valuable upvotes with no bots and promos.
Seeing that video, two things strucked me:

  • I was encouraged to continue steeming irrespective of the rewards (whether large or small), perhaps, one day one may grace the trending page. By the way, I was once on the trending page, thanks to @thejohalfiles and a couple of other whale's upvotes on a DTube video of mine.
  • The need to improve on the quality of my vlogs. Now, I've gone further to take a course on video making for Youtube with the intent of continuing vlogging on Dtube and probably begin to use DLive. Apparently, I've stopped putting up videos on Dtube for a while now - I saw the need to make more qualitative videos.

Thanks, for "raising my hopes" @coruscate with this post of yours. Very well appreciated.


Cheers!

So cool to hear that you are taking a video class!! If you like it and would recommend it - let me know. I’ve been doing a lot of research on YouTube, but have thought about taking a more official class. 😃

Thanks for the thoughtful comment!

I'll sure recommend it. Just that, as of now, it's only a live class for people in Nigeria. The facilitator is planning a WhatsApp session as well for those on a virtual space. I'm still new, at the registration phase, and would like to observe and see the content before I push for recommendation. Albeit, I believe it'll be worthwhile.


Like you said, learning by observing and researching on successful YouTube accounts is just fine as well: success they say, is the application of revealed principles and means. Whoever wants to become as to look at who has been and who is.


By the way, you've made a huge success of your steem account though! I see your videos, learnt a lot from you...in case you don't know!

Aww your comment put a huge smile on my face!!! I am so excited to hear that you have found my videos helpful! ♥️

Cool to hear that your video class has been really helpful too!

...always a pleasure!

you are 100% right.. this gave me a real smile on my face.. I loved the video.. if even a few more people like @bonniepiesse came to steemit we would see the real progress!!!

Yes, agreed!! The more quality content creators we can attract to the platform - the more sh*t posts will start to look out of place.

Thanks for promoting her! I think this deserves an upvote!

Aww thank you my friend!! <3

Glad you've found her amazing content too. I could see you guys being friends. :)

Thanks for this article. As a new user to Steemit (TODAY) I am excited to start contributing in my field but was looking for some good creators to follow off the bat. Excited to be here

Welcome to Steemit!! Definitely follow the people I mentioned in this post. They are all doing inspiring things here on the platform! ♥️

Best idea for steemit ..thank you!

I’ve been looking to see something like this, content has ever been king on the internet but steemit had seemed like a different world with a different philosophy it’s really great seeing this

Thanks for sharing cause you pulled me out from the rock! ;)

Hahah Glad I could help you find her awesome video!

Yeah Steemit is definitely a different environment than other content communities on the internet. Some things are better, some worse. It’s actually changed quite a bit in my almost 1 year here too!

I think the platform will continue to evolve and I thought this example was a bright light.

You’re so right!

Such a complete video

Thanks once again! 😊

so we should round up a proper steemband for steemfest3

Hahah fun!! I’d be into that.

muy buenas y entretenidas su publicación.. la seguiré es muy interesante...

I've never been able to get into trending at least for me.

yeah... it's super hard to get on trending without one of the three avenues I mentioned above. That's why I thought it was so cool that it is possible for someone to still make trending solely on quality. :)

Wow, i just checked the video and i must say it is very awesome. Big kudos to herself and her husband. Kudos to you too for supporting her, you rock!!!

I just attempted using dlive and the experience has been awesome, you can check it out HERE.
I hope to get to trending one day too, very soon 😀

Thank you for this video, you are right and I we love u to ;)
