How to introduce Steemit to your Youtube audience
If you're a Youtuber with a following and find yourself thinking, what would be a good way to introduce Steemit to my audience. Look no further.
SteemQ
As SteemQ, a decentralized video platform for Steem, by @furion and his team is ready to be used, you can start uploading special videos like behind the scenes to SteemQ and mentioning these to your audience in Youtube! You're not forcing your audience to switch as you're providing content that is similar to extra stuff that you only get on blu-rays, yet at the same time, you're providing unique content that is only available on Steem platform and people want to see.
If you want to be very subtle, just have link to your behind the scenes video in the video info. Do what feels best for you!
Why do it?
Ad revenue
We've all seen recent news of Youtubers finding their ad revenue disappear overnight. This could happen to each one of us, without a warning. If big companies don't like you, no more revenue for you. That simple. Here on Steemit, you are getting directly supported by the people who want to see you success. And as we all "own" Steemit, this interest is mutual between every user! This is an asset that probably doesn't exist in many other social platforms, if none other!
Shareholder
No matter how successful you are on Youtube, you have very little say on how things work under the hood. On Steemit however, we can all become shareholders. That reason alone makes it sure, that we have a lot of people around who care about the user experience here on Steemit. Your voice matters and we are in this together.
The future
We are seeing clear change in the way people think around the world. We see how Facebook sells our data and is able to profit by the billions, while giving very little back to the users, who actually provide the value.
Why should we continue to do that as finally we are given other options. This is a question I think many people will ponder as time passes, and I'm sure most will come to same conclusion as I and many other users already here on Steemit.
Share your ideas
If you happen to have ideas that can help people on how to tell about Steemit in Youtube or you already tried several methods and know what works and what not. Feel free to share by comment or making your own post that you can link!
Thanks for reading
nice write up!

Great infopost.
I just wish we had this on a different platform as well, such as a separate blog. Sharing Steemit links on other social media sites can sometimes be a sure way to get banned/downvoted/at best ignored.
You might want to take look in to this post:

Thanks! I'll look into that one. Will you make this post for me though? ;)
Post about how to make your own Steem powered wordpress site?
I was thinking of reposting this article to reddit, but hey... if you're in the mood ;)
Nah don't worry about it. But thanks for the link. Really good to know.
Hmm, have you tried using busy.org? I know there are various other tools also - some of them enable you to show your Steemit blog on, for example, on www.theegoisyou.com. I just don't remember the names of them.
I've tried using busy.org links, but they don't embed properly on reddit so I'm missing out on the embed picture.
Time to get rid of the big guys throw em away
Great post :) thank you!
