Thanks, this was really useful. I think you know that I came to Steemit because of you, and now it looks like you're actually going to get me trying out Dlive too!

I did a lot of streaming on Periscope a couple years ago and had quite the following, with some real A-listers showing up for my lives. But I made maybe $200 off all that effort. (Bitly is key on PS).

I've also done quite a lot of FB Lives, with a total audience on there also of about 10k (same is Twitter but different people) and there it's maybe led to a few thousand in revenue. This is over more than a year of regularly streaming on there.

YT I've only ever done static videos on and advertising isn't available to small channels like mine anymore on there, so no direct income from it. It is easiest of all the above to get people to go to another website from a link though, and from that I've maybe earned a little money in just a few months on there. I do expect to see it build over time, especially as I get better and making the most of the description box.

But Steemit, without even streaming, just writing, I've earned hundreds in just 2 months, and that's investing very little of my own money, maybe $200.

I've been reluctant to move my livestreaming to hear mostly because of subject matter and audience. The topics I talk about when streaming aren't that popular here on Steemit, so it makes me think I'll have a bad experience trying to stream on anything steem related. But you're encouraging me to at least give it a try.
