'Synergy - The bonus that's achieved when things work together harmoniously.' Mark Twain

Could there be any better bonus for YouTubers than extra-monetizing their content on steemit? A video frame is the perfect shop window for a blog, and a blog is the ideal anchor for a video channel.

Writers are becoming filmmakers, and producers are becoming authors. Bloggers are converted into vloggers and the other way around. Viva the synergy of content creation!

Vlogging Around

A couple of days ago I purchased a GoPro which completely changed my life.

I haven't ever been much into video and vlogging. Probably because I never had the perfect equipment. Now I am completely crazy about it.

For the first time in my life I understand why YouTube is such a monster network.

Shooting and editing video material can be absolutely addictive. In a similar way than steemit. Today I didn't even had lunch. I missed a bunch of calls, didn't reply to any text messages and some people seem to be quite angry about it.

Sorry guys, it's just that I can't stop! :-)

YouTube (3D) and steemit (2D) do complement one another perfectly.

While you publish your clips on a powerful video platform with the corresponding band width and server capacity, you write a short story around your shootings on steemit.

Like that you can reach a wider audience and capitalize the original content twice.

So here is what I did today.

10pm. I did it!

There are still some issues with the sound. There was a random noise during the speaking parts that I couldn't get off. Furthermore, the cuts between loud musik parts and moderation could be softer /smoother.

Well, I will keep working on it. I am completely new to that video editing stuff, so every day provides a huge learning curve!

Hope you enjoyed it anyways :-) I will have some food and rest now.

See you around,
