First of all, is that our new shirt for this season? OMFG! haha!  Is it the camera making it look pink? Please say yes!?

ty / upvote...so this is where you're recommending creating video content, instead of youtube for instance?  I'll watch your vid later when i have more time, peace

Video doesn't seem to be working for me. :-(

I tried LBRY the other week, and that seemed pretty cool too. Haven't used it much yet though, but it's still in the early phase too.

Thanks for the insight , Paula

For me, I don't think I've come out of the woods yet. Good video, thanks for posting and sharing.

Great video and some sound advice for newbies. Yes, View.ly is Steemq rebranded it was created by Furion. You should be able to message Furion on https://steemit.chat/ should you need to contact him.

Upvoted! I have only loaded videos once on YouTube and that was a few years ago. We were interviewed on Television about our work at Papillon and I posted the interviews, including the one on CNN. Never heard from Youtube again and gave it it up as a bad job!

Highly valuable.  Thank you for the contribution.
We will be looking forward to using the decentralized video platform.

Video looks AWESOME @paulag !  I think you may have stumbled into the future early and made it look like a dance!  Well done.  This changes things considerably and I am ever-so-grateful to have you properly demonstrate the power of this new tool.  I think once the people who have moved here from Youtube make use of this in addition to OR instead of YouTube, things will REALLY take off on here.  Great Job!  @ecoknowme  I hope @pressfortruth gets wind of this!!!   Great way to control your content and ensure it stays accessible in the blockchain for the ages :)
Ok, just sorted my internet out, thought it was the site that was slow, but it was me.... Technical point, sound is a bit rough, but you were totally understandable.  That said,  please keep making videos and consider adopting the 'fake it til you make it' motto.  You ARE an authority on here.  You have been doing things online for years (nearly a decade from my calculations) and from what I have read.... you have been able to teach yourself every necessary skill required to adopt to the online landscape.  you represent 10s of thousands of people and you are months ahead of most on steemit, breaking new ground with view.ly and exemplify the drive, determination and adaptability required for anyone to succeed whatever their 'thing' might be that they wish to share with the world.   Tell your story.  Show us what you are up to, how you do it and let us learn from your failures and your following will blossom like a spring morn.  Those are my 0.002 SBD

Thanks @paulag
Beautiful Video , spot on, I'm 100% agree with you .
Quality over quantity .
Have a great day .

I can't see any financial incentives to View.ly 
Is there a payment system?

This is a great post. I checked up on Ratafire this morning to see if it was up and running yet - it's going to be a network for small content creators. It's being crowdfunded so you might want to have a look at them, too :)
