Lets Bring An Up And Coming Movie Producer Over From Google's Youtube!
Introduction
Hello, I am going to introduce myself again to explain this interesting opportunity. My name is Dave McCoy and I joined Steemit 16 days ago. During that time I have learned very much about the platform and have tried to share my experiences in my posts and comments.
Background
I don't want this post to be about me, so I will just be brief on who I am. The purpose of this post is to see if I can get one of my friends/clients to bring their movie production business over to steemit where they can have more engagement, add value, and of course earn more money.
Currently
First me, I am an investment advisor who works with my brother and we manage over $30 million between us. The name of our firm is Freedom Capital Advisors and we also co-manage money through Covestor, a division of Interactive Brokers.
Past Positions and Experience
In my past I have had also been the Chief Operating Officer of 2 public companies and one other $100 million company. I have also founded and run a 501c3 charitable organization called Unleash Power For The People (whose mission is to provide renewable energy to poor parts of the world with no electricity).
I went to college and MBA school at Rollins college in Winter Park, FL. Oh yeah, I also ran for US Senate in the 2016 election from the state of NC (even though I had no chance to win, but the experience was very eye-opening).
Many Good Friends
I have many connections throughout my career at many different levels, including Eric Bolling (my college roommate and former host of The Five on FOX), Lew Temple (my best friend and actor most famous as Axel in Walking Dead), and Glenn Sherlock (my teammate and mentor in baseball and now the 3rd base coach for the NY Mets). Those are just the "famous" friends that I am very close to, but I have many other connections.
I hate talking about myself, but I think it is important for this post to explain the context of who I am... That's enough talking about me (phew...hard part is over!!!) :)
An Opportunity Came Up During Lunch
This past Saturday I had a meeting with my clients (Jay and Robin Liner) and we discussed the movies and series that they were producing and placing on Google's Youtube, along with the novel they have also had published. They have completed a couple of seasons and are actually producing new ones as we speak.
I asked them about how much they got paid to run them on Youtube, and they told me they are very close to earning something on Youtube but they haven't earned anything on their programs so far....
A light bulb went off in my mind ;)
Here they were creating quality content (funding, directing, and producing it all on their own), and yet they haven't received a dime from anyone and Youtube gets the full benefits of any interest they drum up. Then I thought about my then 11 days (at that time) on steemit and I had a good idea.
So I watched the first show to see if I would like it and what the quality of the content was before I ever put my words behind it. It was very very good and I know people will like it. So I asked Jay and Robin if they were ok with me posting their series on steemit so that I can run a test and determine the interest here for such things. They agreed.
The first series I'm going to focus on is "When Fact Meets Fiction" and last season they produced 8 episodes. The new season is coming soon, so its best to start with season 1 to catch up on the character development. l will post the Episodes here on Steemit over the course of the next week and see what the interest is in our community for their work.
If people genuinely like it and as a result it will be a valuable venue for them, I will set them up with their own steemit account and show them how to join our network.
To me this is exactly the perfect example of where a real quality artist would be crazy not to use the steemit platform. And vice versa, this is a perfect opportunity for the community to be able to "steal" an up-and-coming talent from one of the "dinosaur" social networks.
Let Me Know If You Like It And Want To Bring This Producer Over From Youtube
If you do like the series and my account receives money from the posts, then I will share the information about how much was earned and share that with them. If over the 8 day span the numbers are significant, then I believe we have a chance to get the family and the production network to become future steemers. And fyi, 3 of them are directly involved with Liner House Productions and they have 9 total future steemers of various other talents in their family!
I hope you like it... This is season 1 episode 1 of When Fact Meets Fiction... Its only 10 minutes because there are no commercials, so get the popcorn and enjoy!

This looks great! I’ll try to watch the first episode this weekend (internet at home is wonky right now). In the meantime I upvoted and will resteem this :)
awesome @therosepatch I would really be happy to hear about what you thought of it. Its only 10 mins long and I think you will like it. Thanks for commenting too!!! Because you found me, we will now be connected here! If I can help you with anything, just let me know... And I hope you stay in touch!
Hi @davemccoy, @buttrb has been telling me about all the great things you have been doing on steemit but I had no idea of the big plans that you have! I think this platform offers so much potential to collaborate but I am a pretty low key person in the corporate world so it is great to see someone of your calibre stepping into this role. And you are only so new here so I'd be happy to see what I can do to help (I am still pretty new too).
Some of these posts are from a while back but these people could good to also speak with and be more influential/connected since they have organized some projects in the past:
Bitfilm
Hardfork Series
That is awesome @plushzilla, I'm so glad that you contacted me. First, thank you for the encouragement and second I definitely believe that working together is the key to success (and even more so at steemit)!
I love this platform and the potential and while I'm not a talented person, I know there are lots of things I can do to make this community a wonderful place to be. And I think it also applies to everyone. Some people are leaders, some are teachers, some are artists, some are preachers, some are the financial backers, and so on... and so on!
I'm happy that you passed along the information and I will definitely check it out. That's exactly how we can work together with each other. If I can ever do anything for you or you want to bring something to my attention, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks to you, we are now connected and I look forward to staying in touch :)
ps... thanks @buttrb (all that I just typed applies to you too... This is how we work together and build a great community) ;)
Are you on Discord at the moment? You probably noticed that the conversations in the comments tend to clutter everything else, but yes I would definitely like to continue the conversation and see where it leads :)
I think talent and intelligence are just different ways of expressing our knowledge and skill, so there is plenty of room for everyone who is willing to contribute and for people to stand up when they are so new to the platform really gives the people who have been here for a while some extra incentive to keep up :)
I just finished up with my replies and normal maintence things I do before the end of the day... I'll hop on right now and see if you're there to say hi, if I don't see you then tell me when you are typically on and I'll make sure to connect to you then. I'm going on right now, I'm looking forward to connecting.
plushzilla#1634 on Discord if you want to shoot me a message :)
I did, let me know if you got it... I'm still learning my way around there, but I think I did it right. I don't know though because you don't come up like the others... Here is my message:
posted in the #general chat
@plushzilla#1634 let me know if you get this
Hmm, I didn't receive a message. Perhaps if you give me your Discord ID I can try to send you a message instead.
I missed you, catch up with you at your convenience @plushzilla
Couldn't find you on Discord... maybe if you sent me your ID as well I will drop you a line :)
same here... davemccoy#2479 ... I don't know what to do with it, but that's my id... and I've been able to chat with gyzimo and selected and a few others, so I'm there I promise ;)
I was able to send a friend request to you, so I think hopefully we'll be able to chat soon :)
yes, I think we're good now... Got your messages and we'll speak tomorrow
@davemccoy you need to quit posting such damn interesting stuff here, my voting power is never going to fully recover. such an interesting proposal, let me know what I can do to help, I would certainly be glad to. I could have told you have no chance to win in politics, you are way too principled, back up what you say, and are too driven in helping people that want to improve themselves.
haha my friend... you are right about the politics, but I went at it from a completely different angle to see what the reactions would be. I'll talk to you about it another day, but here was my tagline:
Thanks for offering to help with this project, I will take you up on it. One thing we can do together is to see if we can get some traction on the 8 videos I put out over the next 10 days or so... If enoughpeople see it and like it, then I imagine Jay and Robin will be impressed at the traction. They are very good people too, with 6 kids of their own and they raised 3 others. I can't wait for their #introduceyourself post lol...
Keep up the good work and love to see you out there. You motivate me and I like that!!!
Whoa that political ideology makes way too much sense, better change it. Glad to hear sir. Their #introduceyourself post might test the steemit web design diagnostics.
lol... let's hope so ;)
And you can call me Dave, I'm your 2017 classmate :)
Excellent! Voted and resteemed for ya. :)
Thank you @billmega ... did you get a chance to watch it or you like the concept of bringing them here? Thanks for taking the time to comment and give me your feedback!
wow,amazing post @davemccoy !
Keep it on,resteemed and upvoted for u :)
Thank you very much @linhzz, that is very nice of you to stop by and tell me!... I like your energy and encouragement! :) Did you watch the short movie? If you do, please make sure and let me know what you think of it! Thanks again and nice to make a connection to you, and I hope you stay in touch :)

What a great idea. And the more quality content that is on Steem it, the more valuable of a place this is to be, right? Great thinking! I will pass this on.
Exactly @keeperofthewoods and thank you for passing this on... I love it when my talented friends like something and we work together! Let me know if your husband watches it too, I'd be interested if he liked it too :)
An excellent idea.Marketing is today strong but also small people can do a great deal of things and help
Thank you @tomo15, I'm glad you took the time to let me know our thoughts :) And I agree with you, there are many talented people that can join us and spread the quality of their talents to many many others. I'm happy you commented to me to and wrote a nice note, I have now made a new connection. Let's stay in touch! :)
Wow thats great @davemccoy! I didn't know that also liked filmmaking and I agree on that Steemit is a perfect platform for content makers who specialize on videos.
Its just a matter of time if we do it right @qyugmo ;) ... And I was hoping you saw this post so that you could watch it and let me know what you thought of the quality. I know its your field, so your opinion is helpful to me. Thanks for the comment my friend and if you do get a chance to watch it, let me know what you think! :)
