DLike - Monetize Your Favorite Links And Pictures

in #schoolofminnows6 years ago (edited)

DLike is a brand new application built on the Steem Blockchain and which allows you to share your favorite links or images on both the native DLike site and on your SteemIt blog.

Another Way To Monetize Content

DLike is the next app in an ongoing series that allows you to monetize content by posting it to the Steem Blockchain.

Using DLike, there's no need to create your own content from scratch. You can simply share an interesting article or a photo you like with your readers.

In the announcement post, you can read:

The design of dlike is based on popular social media platform, Pinterest, where people share cool things and gain popularity.

How It Works

You can log into DLike through Steemconnect.

Once inside your account, you can simply click the 'Share' button. This will bring up two options:

The 'Share' option allows you to share a link to any website, by clicking the 'Upload' button, you can upload any image you want to share. In both cases, you are able to add your preferred title, description and tags.

This last features makes it much more personal than for example the Parley app, which adds the same description to any link you share.

If you choose to add a link, you only need to enter the URL to the website in the provided field. When you click 'Next', DLike will automatically fetch the image, title and description of that website.

To avoid the risk of plagiarism, you can easily edit both the title and the description and make it your own.
You can also add related tags in the same way as you do this on SteemIt.

Once you click 'Submit', a post will be shared on Dlike and on SteemIt. Next to the image, your chosen title and description, a link to the source will be added automatically.

Here's how your post will look like on the DLike website:

Notice the social sharing buttons at the bottom!

Rewards

In the announcement post you can read the following information about the rewards system:

dlike has been built on a unique ranking system based on ABV( Account Based Voting ) which is inspired from another popular steem app @steemhunt. This ranking system is named as dworth and dlike has tried to make the ranking system even better by introducing the popularity of steem user (Number of followers).

Under this ranking system top ranked sharing on dlike will be rewarded on daily basis.

dlike will be rewarding all users who will be sharing new posts, writing new comments, upvoting and resharing cool content. For this dlike will be following the most lovable dtube.rewards idea by @dtube.

Future

DLike is now only available as a website, but the developers are working on mobile apps and a browser extension, to make monetizing content easier than ever.

If you want to know more about DLike, you can read the announcement post, in which everything is explained in more detail.

What Do You Think?

I'd like to hear your opinion. How do you feel about another new platform that allows you to post external content to SteemIt? Are you all for extra monetization options? Or are you concerned about the flood of non-original posts that will be posted to SteemIt.

Let me know!

Well, it sounds interesting, at least... looks like a cross between Pinterest and one of those "link curation" sites (like scoop.it).

I mostly hope it won't create a flood of very "thin" content; people posting 50-100 links a day...

=^..^=

I agree.
Personally, I’m not planning on using it a lot (on this account). But it was a very convenient way to get the word out about the results of the world cup match really quickly after it had ended :0)

Congratulations! Your post has been selected as a daily Steemit truffle! It is listed on rank 21 of all contributions awarded today. You can find the TOP DAILY TRUFFLE PICKS HERE.

I upvoted your contribution because to my mind your post is at least 14 SBD worth and should receive 87 votes. It's now up to the lovely Steemit community to make this come true.

I am TrufflePig, an Artificial Intelligence Bot that helps minnows and content curators using Machine Learning. If you are curious how I select content, you can find an explanation here!

Have a nice day and sincerely yours,

The Pinterest of STEEM blockchain. Definitely going to check it out soon.

I just hope it won’t flood SteemIt with links to news articles. It can be useful every once in a while (see my last post), but if I want to read the news, I’ll go read the newspapers ;0)

The actual long-form blogging is going to become less and less present if these sites keep popping up.

Another cool platform on the blockchain. I like the sharing buttons!

Thank you for informing us! I will check it out!

You’re welcome :0)

Good knowledge about dlive.

Thanks for talking about this.
I did just now try it - not too impressed yet. The lack of "boards" as on Pinterest may make it relatively limited. (I could make it a home for my book/photo links as I've done on Pinterest.) It feels like an attempt to grab market back from Sola.

I'll keep an eye on it though - maybe as it develops, it will be a more obvious choice for me.

I didn’t even think that far, but you have a good point. I think that the site in its current form is mainly meant to create short posts on SteemIt..,

Thanks for the information
I will share this post with others and in the #information-libarary

Do you take a percentage of the steem rewards like DTube and SteepShot? If so how many percent?

This is what I found in their announcement post:

To make our app truly decentralized, dlike image sharing will soon be available on IPFS sharing will soon be available on IPFS and its code will be made open source. To ensure all this timely and properly, dlike will be getting 15% as beneficiary from all posts shared thorough the app. Out of this 15 percent, 5% will go directly to dlike.rewards and will be shared among all contributors on dlike. 9% will go to dlike to cover costs and ensure future development and 1% will be managed as dlike.fund to ensure future stability of the app.

Hi @simplymike sorry for commenting on old post... But I have few doubts on this dApp and need your help.

Sharing URL and content I understood but what is the value of Like token we have earned and how we can use it. I just started using it Yesterday and earned 45 Like tokens. So my query is how I can use them. Please answer.

Sorry for the delay.
The Like token is no different from the Steemhunt or the Actifit token. In March 2019, SMT's will be released, and then those tokens will probably be converted in a coin, like Steem.

I'm not very good at the technical things, like explaining SMT's, but here you can find some good info:
