Introducing Leo.Shorts: Time For The Community Involvement
We are embarking upon a new adventure here on @leofinance along with @threespeak. It is time to try to add another level to our marketing adventure. For this reason, @leo.shorts is being brought to life.
What is Leo.shorts?
Basically, this is an account to whereby different members can upload very short video content. The idea of short videos is taking hold of YouTube and TikTok. Here we want a large number of 45-60 second videos uploaded throughout the day to 3Speak. The main focus is to have a lot of content to be able to share.
In other words, this is a marketing strategy. Focusing upon the cryptocurrency and financial markets, we can put together a bucket of time relevant material that can be sent throughout social media. The goal is to share Leofinance links on the different platforms to push traffic in this direction.
Content Is King
This is an old saying but it holds true. We want to get as much content out there to show not only what these applications are all about but also the knowledge that the people on Leofinance have.
We are a wealth of experience that we can share. Also, the cryptocurrency and financial markets are a treasure chest of timely information. In other words, there is always something going on.
Why not do a video about it?
The price of Bitcoin drops 10% in 2 minutes? Make a video. The stock market is up 5%? Make a video. Apple's earnings beat expectations? Make a video.
As we can see, there is always a "story" to share our thoughts about.
Of course, social media exposure is also required. People are more likely to watch a 45 second clip as opposed to a 5 or 10 minute video. Longer videos require a following and have to touch upon subjects people are deeply interested in.
The shorts idea goes counter to that. In fact, it is more in line with the concept of providing the "media" aspect to Leofinance. These are ideal for "newsy" type posts.
Declining of Rewards
If you view the @leo.shorts account through Peakd, you see the decline rewards was selected. This is not meant to be a money maker in terms of taking from the reward pool. For this reason, the rejecting of rewards is always to be selected.
This does not appear to be the case for the Leo rewards (and I presume the other Hive-Engine tokens). If that is the case, and rewards are paid out, we will figure out some way to distribute them to the community. Perhaps we will tie them into some type of contest.
Whatever the end decision, it needs to be emphasized this is a marketing project for the community to engage upon. We need content, links, and stuff to pass around. Shorts are a craze and we are looking to take into it.
A Call Out To Community Members
Obviously, those who are most interested in this ought to be those who are regularly staking LEO. Anyone who is a stakeholder in the system has a vested interest in kicking off the Network Effect. This means bringing more people to the ecosystem and trying to improve the numbers.
For this reason, we need some volunteers. The account is set up via an email and password to 3Speak. This will be forwarded to those who are interested in doing this on a daily basis.
The goal is to get a dozen or so people involved. We want to get 1-2 videos up per day, per individual. Again, nothing should exceed much more than a minute. It can be done on computer or phone, it really does not matter. It cannot be stressed enough, throw together a thought or two and upload it. Do not worry about editing, charts, or putting together a professional presentation.
This is meant to be fast, quick, and mostly painless.
Anyone interested in being involved, hit me up on discord. Those who have some stake in Leofinance are regulars on the site should be interest.
Also, if you do not feel comfortable doing video, 3Speak also handles audio. That is a perfectly acceptable way to get a clip out.
This is another piece in the marketing puzzle that Leofinance is putting together. Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.

Great easy way to get tons of extra exposure. Shorts are the future and taking the time to make valuable ones can lead to thousands of new views. I might start doing this myself and spreading them on TikTok, Youtube and other platforms as we way to teach others about crypto, Leo and Cub along with other projects. Just need to allocate about 30 minutes a day to editing it and making it look pretty slick.
Leo shorts sounds like an awesome way to create short but interesting content.. Great initiative
I remember hearing about this in your cryptomaniac's podcast with the speak network.
I suggest you insert your discord username incase anyone is interested. I don't think I'll participate since I don't make videos.

I have sent you a request.
That's a great idea! I'll see what I can do

I believe introducing the short video will work, personally, I rarely play videos of 10-60minutes long. Tiktok and other social media which encourage short videos are on the trend, and it's high time we introduced this.
I'm in full support.
I want in! Are there any theme limitations?
Cryptocurrency and finance related material.

Have sent a request
I have sent you a message and was surprised to see that we had a communication again in the past :)

I’m definitely down for this. But I will need to see some videos as an example on how to go about it.
This is the least I can do.
This is a cool initiative @taskmaster4450le. Wish I could contribute but that's okay. I will try to share this with a few creators I know who might be interested.
Looking forward to this!

That's good. Is going to bring more people in the community and also make them to know about leo finance.

Leo shorts can heat tik toc hahaha
I don't think tribes have that, only Hive.
I think this is the main reason why the likes of TikTok have gained a lot of attention these days
GREAT INITIATIVE :))
That is really awesome. I was thinking just the other day that there needs to be something that is better suited for people who just want to share video clips and not write a whole post about them. I think the current platforms are not really great for that. They are great if you want to write big content, but if you just want to share maybe five clips that are part of a larger story it is really hard to do that.
I would love to be part of this. Let's get it up.
I have been running a live community events about Hive. So this is just inline with my plan now.
I'm definitely in but how do I post? When I'm on 3speak I no longer have the option to post in different ways like 3rd party links and such like it used to. It just asks me to upload a file similar to youtube which is the obvious 16:9 apsect ratio.

@taskmaster4450le this sounds like something I am so down to do! I've got a bunch os shorts already queued up and ready to go!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'm in. 100 per cent 45-60seconds is more than enough
Nice idea
This is so dope. Would have loved to be a part of it but I don't think I'll be able to stay consistent at the moment. Maybe I could use the format to make a short video post now and then. I love the idea of it. It's sort of like a WhatsApp status.
I love how this platform is giving conventional social media a run for its money. They have nothing interesting to offer anymore that I can't get over here.

Awesome initiative!

Followed and ready to share on Twitter ! It has to be leofinance related shirts right ?
Not financial / broad crypto content ?
I will be interested to do some but cannot commit to 1/2 a day 😞

Very cool initiative @taskmaster4450
I will think it over, everyday is a commitment. I don’t want to say yes, unless I can deliver.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Could you give me your discord id? I am interested in making videos. Although I amnot a big staker at leo but I am sure I will show the continuity as my main conviction for being here is to share my knowledge and that would be the great idea .
