It's that time again, friend! Welcome to another video by yours truly. As always, I am super excited to be sharing this information with you today as I will be discussing tips on becoming a top 10 DTuber.
Back in May and in June of this year, it was brought to my attention by @tanbay that I my videos earned me a spot in the top 10 based on DTube's voting percentage statistics. You can view the results here for May and here for June. If you haven't followed @tanbay yet, go follow him now as his content is on point and super informative.
After months of filming, editing, and publishing videos onto DTube, it got me thinking about why I would be placed in the top 10 and what I've been doing to earn that ranking. So I decided to share some insights that have helped me throughout my Steem journey.
Are you interested in becoming a top 10 DTuber yourself? Then I suggest you pay close attention to the following tips:
Put aside time to create videos
First and foremost, it is a must to put aside time to create videos. This may seem like a simple task, but you have to understand that people are busy. I am sure that you have responsibilities such as a job, a family, a business, that require large amounts of time spent each day.
Since that is most often the case, make it a point to set aside time to create your videos. Some of the best videos I have ever created are the ones where I quiet my mind and dedicate a specific time slot of my day to filming. If you find yourself missing multiple filming days in a row, you may want to invest in a planner and start scheduling time in front of the camera.
Record topics that you truly enjoy
If you've been on DTube or Steemit for a while now, then you have noticed how some content creators are active for weeks, but then all of a sudden stop, never to be seen again. This phenomena occurs mainly for one reason...they did not enjoy the process.
Users who are here today and gone tomorrow are the ones who didn't have a clear direction or mission to their content which caused them to burn out. Record topics that you enjoy so that you can perform on DTube for the long-term benefits instead of short-term gain.
Upload frequently
I do my best to upload a video once per day. Occasionally I will miss a day for one reason or another, but most days I am present on DTube. One of the main factors that has allowed me to earn a top 10 spot is due to uploading frequently.
The only thing I would warn you of here is to not sacrifice quality for quantity. What I mean by that is make sure your videos are maintaining high quality at the same time you are publishing frequently. Make it a mission of yours to upload a video one time per day.
Additional advice
Once you begin implementing the above tips, you will begin to build up a strong level of momentum. You will notice a spike in followers, comments, upvotes, and resteems. Understand that earning a top 10 spot on DTube takes a certain degree of experience and understanding of how Steem works.
When I first got started back in December of 2017, I had no idea what I was doing. In fact, I had never even heard of DTube until a while after I joined Steemit. My point here is, it is going to take you some time to learn and grow as a content creator. Lebron James wasn't born with a basketball in his hand. Instead, he practices daily to reach the level that he plays at right now.
Be patient and enjoy the process of growth and development throughout your journey. When you find yourself living and breathing videos each day, you will notice your progress shoot through the roof. Eventually, you will gain a ton of recognition and DTube will notice you.
Don't beat yourself up if you are not in the top 10 next month or the month after. Focus on building and sustaining a loyal following of people who look forward to viewing your content. Know that I am rooting for you my friend, and I believe that you will make it into the top 10 soon. Take action right now on these tips and keep me updated on your progress.
I love you, I care about you, I appreciate you so much. Thank you for reading and I can't wait to see you in the next post. Until then, remember...You Are Awesome! Take care.

Thank you @onefatindian. Any new SM cards lately?
Posted using Partiko iOS
Actually, yes!
I did purchase a few packs and the community has been great with contests, so I've managed to pick up a few cards that way too.
In the last few days I've managed to score a couple of gold foil commons, two epics and a bunch of commons/rates - just ripe for combining lol
Hope you've done well with the packs too 🙂
