Steemers, GET READY FOR THE HOMESTEADERS! They're COMING!
VIDEO BELOW
The last couple weeks, I have been letting my Youtube subscribers and facebook followers know about my move to Steemit. I have over 45k Youtube subscribers and over 100K Facebook followers. And we're just getting started. My audience is geared mostly toward Modern Homesteading.
As different segments of the web begin to learn and understand cryto-currencies and blockchain technology, we will continue to see these segments move in that direction. Social media giants like Youtube contain almost every interest category you can think up and little by little certain individuals are turning their followers and subscribers on to this strange new technology.
A couple weeks ago I made a video showing our disgust with Youtube over its haphazard censorship and regulation methods. I came out to my youtube subscribers that I was moving at least in part to Steemit as I saw it as currently the best alternative that would allow me to keep my video content free and still provide an income potential.
Email after email and PM after PM came in saying that others had also made a move to Steemit. That was really encouraging. What was even more encouraging is that I started to see lots of postings under the category of homesteading. These newly arrived participants were already contributing content...and a lot of it was really good! A lot of emails showed concern about not understanding how it all worked. Change can be scary. This will change with time.
My little piece of the world is all centered around off-grid homesteading. Modern homesteading. I've announced far and wide to my audience that we are making a jump to Steemit and really excited about the upcoming SteemQ video platform.
Youtube can keep their pop culture click bait TV programming. There is something new on the horizon and I'm curious enough to ride along and participate so that my segment of the homesteading world can continue to learn and grow.
So hey Steemians! WELCOME THE HOMESTEADERS!!
Very nice man, keep it up !
I dropped some answers in the comment section of your video.
Lots of new Steemit users wondering how to become a Steemian.
I invite you who are reading this to do the same if you have some time & some knowledge about Steem.
We are glad that you are coming here on Steemit . We have been enjoying the Homestead videos for the last few years and bought items and seeds from your store. We are waiting here and will up vote your videos. I enjoy Jaimeys recipies and canning and crafts . Keep it up!
We will be doing a lot of canning and the like coming up. The busy days of summer are ahead. AND LOOK! I just gave you 0.03 for your comment. FB and YT won't pay you for those. :)
wow, that's great - didn't realize you had attracted that many subs on youtube and facebook, although with your nearly 200 followers on steemit, you may already be earning more from your efforts here than both of those combined (not including your patreon, of course)! lol
@itchykitten is another fascinating homesteader who recently joined steemit.
also, you may have already seen this in the comments of my "YouTuber's Guide" post, but perhaps some of your fans will also find it helpful in understanding the difference between government FIAT currencies and crypto currencies such as bitcoin and STEEM:

And of course, the great part for current YouTubers is that they can still post videos to YouTube, then go on to embed their videos into a STEEMIT post and actually make a few bucks for their hard work.
Absolutely! Thanks for the info. We're soaking it up like a sponge.
I keep seeing people say, "Corporations will simply come to steemit, buy steem and then bury any content that they do not approve of". When that happens, if that happens. I would expect the value of steem to spike, making the regular people who have earned steem/bought steem already very wealthy. These users then should have the steem power to balance the dark side of the force. I could be way off track. I only learned of steem 3 days ago and have a rudimentary understanding of steem.
This is awesome! As a tip have people follow you and your topic. For example: https://steemit.com/created/homesteading
Then when others post have them post to that same topic. You can also create your own topic to make it a tighter community. Then as you guys post and comment as a group you are all earning Steem.
Awesome! Thanks for the info!
Thank you American Homestead for leading the way here. I have to be honest when I first saw your video on YouTube, "I didn't understand Steemit." No idea why I didn't get it.
Then DaddyKirbs on YouTube told me I had to check it out. And WOW! Y'all were right!!!
We are just a small channel at 9600 subs on YouTube. And have already seen things change monetized wise.
So THANK YOU! Thank you for leading the way here. I completely believe in cryptocurrency and that our nation (the smart ones of us at least) are heading this direction to gain more freedom and liberty.
Thank you again, I Upvoted!!! Now I actually need to learn what RESTEEMING is. hahaha!!! Take care and God Bless. :)
Glad you made the move over. To really grow, be sure to put your earnings into steem power for a while. That will help your future earning potential.
Farm and Adventure channel checking in!
Followed! Great to have you here!
Thanks Zach and Jamie! We love your channel and Sat nite show. We are homesteaders and home schoolers too. My YT channel is young and I really only started it for my CSA customers but hey, if others would like to learn from what we do then even better!
GREAT! Glad you are here! Will follow!
Followed too.
Thanks friend!
Hi and new follower.
Thanks. Followed back.
Hi from an Aussie suburban homesteader\prepper, following.
Im starting my move to steemit aswell from youtube. I made my first post here yesterday and AnAmericanhomestead was the first to reply to my post...Thanks! because of AnAmericanhomestead Im quickly finding that this community has great potential.
Yes it does have potential. SteemQ will be launching hopefully soon.
When it does, I will never add another vid to themtube.
Me too.
Themtube! Love it.
Hi and this site rocks, new follower.
Nice ! Welcome to Steemit.
Look forward to your posts o.o
I am interested in all things 'Off Grid' and 'Homesteading'. Is there a way to sub-categorise posts (Water, Heat, Shelter, Food, Waste Mgmt...)?
hi new follower.
I'm here ;)
