2 Weeks On Steemit - What Happened So Far? | Vlog #6 (DTube Exclusive)
Today I'm talking about the different stages which my account and myself as a person on this platform have passed through the last 14 days.
As I have spent nearly every free minute in this community I could learn already a lot but I'm sure there is still so much more to discover.
Longer waiting times for Account activation?
I've been waiting pretty much exactly 24 hours until my account was unlocked after registration. But I've also heard from some other newcomers (and my mom) that some of them have to wait three or even up to seven days. This may be because of increasing user numbers at the moment.
Discovering and improving
When I started two weeks ago I was writing articles about psychology and communication. I realized that some of the articles may have been too long and too dry in presentation so I started shorten things a little bit up.
The reason why I did this was because I caught myself clicking away other articles when they were too long but could have been interesting to me.
I guess that the majority of the users wants a compact format which isn't too much time-consuming.
DTubeDaily group
So, it was last weekend when I joined a group called DTubeDaily on their Discord channel. It's a strong community which is constantly growing and has some great Vloggers both newcomers and experienced people.
Yesterday we had our very first virtual meetup in Google Hangouts. I've already written a short summary about it today.
First time on video
Another big moment was on Monday, January 15th when I did my very first Vlog after @mynndnow challenged me to do so.
Before I took the video, I thought that this might be a one-time thing. But I enjoyed it and the process of editing so I'm continuing.
The best out of two worlds
But this doesn't mean I'm only doing video from now on and I don't care about the topics and articles which I've been writing some days ago.
This channel is still in development and I guess it will always be. But as I was starting from literally zero and I'm learning every day also by all the other people out here. This development at least seems to me to go really fast.
What I'm now trying to do is related to this video by @shaunonsite who is building up his video descriptions like blogs. And I think this is brilliant! Because from now on, every one of you can enjoy the content in the way you prefer.
Are you more likely to read? Or do you enjoy looking of maybe just listening to a video? Well, from now on it's your choice!
Future plans?
I'm excited about the future of this platform and how my channel is going to evolve. Of course, I would first of all like to improve my video skills like speaking in front of the camera, gesture and so on. But also my equipment and my skills with video editing.
Another big plan for the future would be to do a meet-up with some of the people from DTubeDaily group maybe somewhere in the UK. I'm also always about to improve my English skills.
I hope you enjoyed this post. If you did, make sure to upvote, follow up and resteem. And what's most important…
…live your dream!

Hey brother!! You are getting better and better and to be honest, I now feel like you have done this longer than just a week bro!! Like...freaking amazing, honestly!! Making videos can be addicting :D
One day we have to meet man! Since you are also in Germany :)
Winny out...for now ;)
Hey, you are quite natural in front of the camera. It takes people a long time to achieve this. Also your eye contact is really good. I need to work on that :)
Thank you, Although I have the feeling it isn‘t that natural yet. But I hope it‘s getting better.
Your confidence is radiating! @liveyourdream. I feel I am seeing the same improvements in my videos as I have in yours. Its all upwards from here my friend. 😊
Thanks. I just sometimes have the feeling that I need to stay focused not to miss any words or what to say. That why I can‘t always be that free in front of the camera.
After watching @shaunonsite's video about editing its nice to know that you dont always need to be strongly focused and that we all miss the mark on what we want to say sometimes. Thank god for editing! Haha. But like I said before, your confidence is growing and over time it will only continue to get better.
I’m actually really liking your idea of sharing the content of a vlog between a written post and a video, like you said, different people like different styles so it would suit two audiences at once! I enjoy watching and reading so I’m happy to do both!
A real meet up here in the UK would be fantastic and I’m sure we could easily organise something between us all, it’s a shame I couldn’t stay for the whole hangout on Friday but I’m glad to have taken part and met you and all the others properly. So good to see you are enjoying the vlog creation, it’s a great creative tool and great for personal development and confidence in my opinion!
I‘m glad you‘re even enjoying both of it :) Yeah I don‘t exactly know who else except from you and @slayerkm were from the UK. I guess @tricki? We can talk about that in our next meet-up.
