Fabio (@fabrews) told me a cool story last night.
His brother is a streamer and he plays a lot of games and uses Twitch.
He suggested to his brother that he should use dlive and try it out.
His brother made an account (@ishnuala) on the steem blockchain and made an intro post.
He then made a bunch of other posts presumably to get a feel for the platform. (you see this a lot, I guess we all done it).
After some tries he went to dlive and started streaming.
Yesterday on his fourth time streaming session (the other 3 made 2 cents total) he made $30!
How cool is that.
It just another example of the process I like to call the grind.
It involves lots of ups and downs like this.
His next stream can be 2 cents again.
It reminded me of when I started on Steemit.
You just have to keep going, be consistent and enjoy whatever you create.
What is cool though is that anything you create will be stored on the blockchain forever and that is more cool than you might think.
I often scroll back and look at my older creations or read my old thoughts.
It's a lot of fun.
I talk about it more in my vlog.

Steem is harder when you start thinking the rewards first.
Steem is fun, when you focus on having FUN stay relevant and bring your best to everyone.
One thing for sure the reward will come cause your dedication is a lot worthy than rewards.
Keep on steemin'
Hello @exyle. We do not take any cut from rewards on DLive. We believe that all rewards belong to the author! Thank you for your valuable comments about DLive.
that's why dlive is far different others..
gj @redjepi and dlive team.
Yeah he knows what hes doing and his streams are proper so I think he has ways to go with this. All initial hick ups with dlive were sorted quickly on discord and he's got a good thing going. Thanks for telling this story man.
wow very excellent steemit post
wow very nice
Am so much in love with your post and because of how interesting I found this post l with upvote you follow you
hy steemians ..

I think the grind is far more enjoyable than starting out on youtube or on other platforms. You have a nicer and more supportive community and it's easier to stand out
Yes, grind is very important. I first heard it from Gary Vee. I am sure more and more youtubers/streamers will join steemit/Dtube/Dlive and we will have to say good bye to youtube.
We are doing more than million transactions on steemit everyday and that is only the 0.14 per cent of what steemit can totally handle. So it is evident there is plenty of groth room for steemit.
@exyle Thanks for the support man!
The grind is real, I invested quite some time on twitch, art & social media thinking I would grow and get some people watching just for the fun, but it's defintely not as rewarding as streaming on Dlive.
But the key is to be persistent and make live streams everyday!
I hope that someday that I get to meet up with you in The Netherlands!
Good job lil bro!
Very inspiring story @exyle .... That's very true that we must keep going on, be consistent and enjoy whatever we do. After all " Winners never quit and quitters never win". So, never give up and just push, push, push until you succeed.
right say, bro
In my opinion consistency is the key for almost anything in life and steemit is a great way to exercise that!
Some people don't know about that, not only your post will be save on the blockchain forever. it will also appear when someone is searching for a particular word on Google and you post has related meaning to it, your post will appear on the Google page.
Yes it is totally true. You just have to be consistent and stay focused while going throught the grind! I feel like I am almost there!
Next month I'll be celebrating my first year on Steemit anniversary. I think that will be a great moment to consider that a good time to say that I am finally through the grind!
A year already! Man, time flies!
What you said is absolutely what happens to everybody in steemit I guess I could so relate and this is what motivates me to keep posting inspite of the fact my efforts are not rewarded and people are unable to recognise the potential of my content.
Most the posts does not make any money like you 6 chapters out of 7 for the book. But the patience pays off. I keep on creating videos (guitar lessons) for free which mostly goes unnoticed and efforts are not paid mostly but it's an addiction and sometimes good days come. But as you said it is fun and you kept doing it and so do most of the people who do will eventually get rewarded.
That's the path of life.There will be ups and down,you just have to keep moving.Nice success story that will encourage new comers like us.@upvoted and resteemed
Actually to be success in steemit or dlive require hard patience. Without Patience anything is impossible for us. I was also be inspired because you was like us in your past time. So we have to try to success and I always follow you .
Looks like a cool streamer, but 'the grind' is so true, I have some posts that make 10$ and some that make 20 cents, but ultimately the average I earn from my posts is steadily growing.
Journey here on steemit is really a roller coaster ride and like you said one have to be consistent!
Thanks for the advice, its actually nice doing what one enjoys.
I have never used dlive because i dont know how its done!
On days when the motivation to continue developing & posting original content gets hard, a post like this really helps!
I look at my old stuff too. It's great to see how you evolve and also to realise how good done if your older stuff was as well.
Good on ishnuala!
It's actually pretty amazing that he made 30 dollars on his 4th streaming session, with Twitch that would have taken a lot longer I think.
A buddy of mine is also streaming on Twitch and after something like 30 streaming sessions, he averages 2 to 3 viewers. Didn't make anything yet.
Might be a good idea to also introduce him to Dlive...
Thanks for your thoughts again Exyle! i read a lot about steemit and am already a big fan, but a question im asking myself is: who is hosting the steem blockchain and the apps? who pays the servers and the electricity? perhaps you can answer the question or theres a good article about it?
Keep on posting the great content.
I think you can find some answers here: https://steemit.com/blockbrothers/@blockbrothers/ask-us-anything-1-what-is-the-roll-of-a-witness.
thanks a lot, i understand now!
Wow! How far had you come from earning nothing from the new 7 posts after the big upvote to hundreds of dollars now? This is so inspiring. Thanks for motivating us to "grind" in Steemit. Upvoted!
I started in July 2016.
Please help me ,upvote me
Content creators paradise Heaven it is one of the beauty of this blockchain everyone has something to share here and it will remain special forever cool incident to know that this happened wonderful
@exyle Same thing happened to me on my 3rd Vlogg i posted up just last night☺☺ i generated $30 compared to the last 2 which generated 0.2 and 0.001
This morning when i woke up and checked on it , it got me so amped ill be sure to continue Vlogging on what i know best ,You gotta love steem for that.
This is an excellent example of what the blockchain can do! Just being consistent pays off in the end. @ishnuala has done well with his posts.
@cecicastor, consistency is key to doing well!
Very successful this post dear friend @ exyle, you have a lot of reason in what you comment, the success in this platform depends largely on the dedication and above all the perseverance, another thing that helps a lot is the channel of the people with whom you relate and interact.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience on the subject, your method is excellent
I wish you a beautiful Sunday
Consistency is the key, and talking about something you love is another plus, i love science and i'm now taking an interest on politics, talking about it on steemit is really cool, because it's a place where i can express my opinions and hear other ppl opinion about the issue, even if we don't agree on something!
@exyle,
Yeah the success will not archive in a single day! But it will come and knock our door one day! Like what you did, we all should try our best! That's what I am doing! Your story is the place I got that inspiration!
Cheers~
Yeah thanks for sharing this, it's just a matter of time to gain popularity with a particular niche anyone chooses, consistently posting really matters, don’t give up because you are earning cent,yet. As @exyle mentioned you should enjoy whatever you create.
And I tried to make streaming with twitch, but without much success I tried Dlive but I do not have the equipment needed to make a successful streaming, I am a good poker player but I do not really understand the technology. Now I try Steemit and I have the passion to help people in all directions, but here too I do not know how to do this, if you have some tips are receptive, I see you a successful man at least here on Steemit. With love Ionut Ciobanu.
Very Nice to read, two days ago I Tried Dlive as well, its not easy to setup, and some of the settings needs to be improved. So a lot to learn, but that is a Nice to do. It proves the blockchain is unlimited.
Blockchain technology is gonna change the world
Excellent video friend, it's true success never come over night we have to work hard consistently and our hard work will bring us one step closer to success with every passing day and i agree every thing which we post on blockchain will become part of it and that's the beauty of the steem blockchain, when my childs grew up they will able to read about my life through steemit blockchain, thanks for sharing your nice thoughts with us friend, Stay blessed
We are early. There is more distance to cover in steemit. When we will do it , its gonna pay for our hardwork.
This comment has received a 0.45 % upvote from @speedvoter thanks to: @xerox-bru.
@exyle that is what I love about STEEMIT we are all Early Adopters and will be some of the Biggest to Benefit over the Next couple of Years........
An excellent example, my friend, and this once again proves that need to try and believe in your success! All that we do in the end will bear fruit and everyone will someday become noticeable in our ecosystem! Thank you Mark for the indicative and positive post!

Haha I appreciate this post most definitely
Hello exyle,
Its only my second week on Steemit and I am still learning a lot about how Steemit works. Your post is very helpful in getting a better idea of how apps can be developed with or is it alongside the Steemit platform. How does one go about doing that?
May the steemitforce be with you.
Keep steeming ahead,
@steemitforce
Anyone can explain about steem power? is there any expiry ? or how many upvotes we can do in 24hours without loosing power
Very nice :)
@exyle I also look back at how I started on Steemit, most of my post had 0.01-0.04SBDs only but I am really glad that as a result of consistency I now have upto 3sbds in a post and it's glad knowing that your consistency pays off.
Thanks for dropping this post, all the best today.
Myspace is still around but I did lose my Yahoo geocities website. :( I think Facebook will be around a while but who knows. I bet it is expensive to run their servers.
