Sharecropper, lol that's a wonderful analogy.  Congrats on the anniversary, you are admired and much appreciated around here.

I was going to try and be helpful and give you the code to add a subscribe button to your posts, but steemit does not allow scripts in comments, you can try it on a post to see if it works.

Also be sure to add tags(around 10 of them), and cards to your video's. Captions may help with youtube searches as well.

You are getting close to the monitize point.... a couple hundred to go.

Here's the code for it just in case you need it somewhere else or want to try it on one of your posts, that should be your channel ID.

<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script> <div class="g-ytsubscribe" data-channel="UC8GJap7-XxIrSQqByPQG0SQ"> </div>
