How Dtube has Leveled the Playing Field for New Users
Hey Guys!
I have been posting really consistently on the platform for about 6-7 months and in that time, I have seen some pretty big changes in how new users get started on the platform. More specifically, I have seen a great opportunity open up for new users on Dtube.
When I first joined, it was extremely rare to see a new user pop up on the trending page, or to earn more than a buck or two on their posts. We just had to keep posting great content and hope and pray we got noticed!
The great thing about Dtube, is that they manually curate content. That means that if someone has great video content and posts consistently, they actually have a GREAT chance of being noticed by either the @dtube account or other Dtuber's!
I feel like we have a great community here on Dtube and we try to support each other. Well, I guess I can only speak for myself - but I try to follow as many fellow Dtuber's as I can!
Just to illustrate my point... here are a few examples of newer users that are CRUSHING it on Dtube.
@theaudgirl - She just joined 11 days ago and she is killing it so far! You guys have got to check her out. She's posting great video content and is super sweet to boot.
@furiouspete123 - He has been on the platform for less than a month and is already at 61 reputation! He has a huge youtube following and is a great new addition to the Dtube family! It's great to see how much success he has already experienced on the platform.
@paolajane and @spenceryan - This super cute couple just joined the platform back in December and they are kiiiiling it. They pretty much re-defined the idea of quality Dtube content. Their vlogs cover a variety of topics and are really cinematic in nature. If for some you reason you haven't run across them yet - go check them out!
I for one am super excited that new users that are posting great video content now have an awesome opportunity to get their videos noticed on Dtube!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject. As always, I'm here to help. If any of you have questions about anything I mentioned in this vlog or about Dtube in general - shoot them in the comments below!

I was just checking out your posts and then saw this! Thanks for the shout-out! Coming from you, that means a lot. :) The Steemit community is seriously amazing.
Side note and silly question - how do you see when someone mentions you? I saw AskSteem.. is that the best way how? I just happened to stumble across this because I follow you but never want to ignore anyone!
Great question! The fact that it is not built into the platform to get notified when you were mentioned is a huge flaw in my opinion. You have to use some other third-party application to get those notifications.
I personally use Steemify, and I LOVE it! I believe it is only available in the App Store right now though, so if you use an android you might not be able to use it. It’s super easy to set up, and you can choose what notifications you want to receive. I personally like to see when I get a comment, when someone starts following me, when I get mentioned, and when someone gives me an upvote. You can establish a few more though if you like.
Yeah I am surprised that they don't have that built in! But that app is exactly what I am looking for, so thank you for the suggestion! I will be downloading right now. :) I just always want to make sure I am acknowledging those who read my articles or even mention me (like you did which was so freaking nice) so this will be a huge help. Thank you so much!!
This is very true!!! Super like! Upvoted :)

Haha love it!#dtube for life!
I'm so sick of Youtube and there censorship, I will give D.Tube a shot, I have tried many other video hosting websites that have failed. I hope D.Tube does well.
Great to hear that you are going to given Dtube a try! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions about the platform.
I have noticed that aswell most the people with lots of followers and upvotes get them from dtube because you can actually show your personality and people make connections with you
Awesome point. Video is a great way to let people get to know you better.
Thank you so much, mam. I am still not on Dtube but you really motivated me to join it and definitely I gonna some videos daily to be active on dtube. Thank you so much.
That’s awesome! Can’t wait to check out your video content!
I think you are correct. Lately it seems that if you really want to be successful on the steem platform you have to go on Dtube.
I think there are other applications that are doing good work as well such as dsound and dlive - but video does seem to be a really popular way to share content!
Dsound seems to work better than dtube but it seems like most of the big earnings are on dtube now. I think I do prefer videos as well or it could just be the video makers are doing a better job than the writers. Have you went live yet?
I loved this post, it gives new Steemians like myself hope in diving into the platform. Its refreshing to see so much opportunity on this site given the over saturation of other sites such as YouTube and Reddit. As a content creator I am excited to share my interests with the community. Thank you for this post, I am going to check out the D.Tubers you shouted out and give them love as well. Once I start posting I hope to collaborate one day! - I got you with that Resteem, girl! Keep working!!
That's why I came on d.tube in the first place.I was watching a video on how youtube is killing the small creators and someone told me to check out d.tube and steemit. So I took a look at it, and I really like it here :) It's really better than youtube
I have everything set up to start. Now to practice speaking into a camera and being engaging. I suppose it comes naturally to some people, but this is another aspect of the Steem-based social media services on which I'll have to work hard...
Truly steemit, Dtube is a best platform for many things such as it's a best platform for artists, dancers, musicians e.t.c, one having any sort of talent can get huge success from steem, and yeah there is a tremendous growth in steem and Dtube from previous months. Keep sharing stuff like this, thankyou
It’s great to see how much diverse content we have on Dtube!
It really is great to see so
