I wrote a quick guide to send to everyone who doesn't know Cam.TV.

(If you already know the platform you might still discover something you missed!)

What is Cam.TV

Cam.TV is not a social network, we like to call it "Community of Knowledge".

Name

"Cam? TV? Is it something like youtube?"

"No, you can find written and multimedia content of all kinds"

Main purpose

On the web, we are constantly bombarded by frivolous content, enough!

Cam.TV is a platform that allows you to:

  1. acquire knowledge and skills from other Cam.TV creators
  2. spread YOUR skills...
  3. in an effective way...
  4. and earning from it! To turn your passion into your job.

Faceb...

Cam.TV will not be the new Facebook, they have different targets and purposes.

Cam.TV is an Italian project, and the CEO, Gabriele Visintini is also on Cam.TV.

Why Cam.TV is revolutionizing the web: 🌎

  1. already 400 thousand users. It made of the largest crowdfunding in Europe.
  2. here you really earn. The large daily flow of likes exchanged between users is a flow of LKS, a cryptocurrency with a low transaction cost
  3. every content you publish is protected by copyright through NFT technology
  4. unparalleled indexing on Google for your content
  5. focused on the exchange of knowledge, sale of ebooks, courses, consultations
  6. earn directly in 4 different ways or indirectly, by advertising content of other creators or purchases of your affiliates
  7. you can have a reserved area for subscribed followers
  8. you can send emails to all your followers
  9. videocalls and live streams, no need to use 30 different platforms

💰Earning Methods

  1. Earn money directly by publishing your free content
  2. Earn money directly by publishing your paid content 
  3. Earn money indirectly with subscriptions
  4. Earn money indirectly with affiliations
  5. Earn money by spreading the contents of other creators


Other Advantages

  • Target your audience
  • Style 
  • Zero advertising
  • Focus
  • Higher image quality

Disadvantages

  1. Communication
  2. Affiliate Visibility
  3. Privacy?
  4. Environmental Impact

Milestones:

  • 🏆The first real "social" platform based on Blockchain
  • 🏆2018: Cam.TV featured on "Millionaire" magazine 

Earning methods, in details:

💰1) Earn money directly by publishing your free content

On Cam.TV you will not find the "Like" button, we have the "Support" button.



Every time you use the "Support" button you are sending 1LKS coin to the person who made the post.
Similarly, every time a user supports one or more of your posts they are sending you LKS coins.
Unlike the "like" button you can use the "Support" button several times under a single post.


Giving more likes under a single post is better because:

  • it increases your earnings
  • it helps Cam.TV algorithm to determine the quality of posts more accurately.


Earn LKS coins for free

Each user can donate 1 LKS coin every 10 minutes for free!

(In the past we used to earn 1 LKS coin every minute! 😲)

Free likes = earn more

Just with these "free donations" I think that a Cam.TV creator can earn more easily than a Patreon or a Tipee creator, especially if he already has a large fanbase!

No credit card details

Just after subscribing to Cam.TV from my link (https://ctv.im/R264F1) you can already receive LKS coins under your posts, without even entering your credit card details or something like that! 😲


Why LKS coins and your CamTV wallet are safe

  • LKS coins can also be used outside of Cam.TV. They're listed on coinmarketcap, the reference website for crypto values.
  • You can convert the LKS coins you've earned into Euros and transfer them to your card. (of course, there is an exchange rate and a small transaction fee as for other crypto-currencies)
  • you can also sell your content directly in Euro (depending on the type).
  • Let's dismiss the "cryptocurrency website = website that exploits the resources of my devices for unethical mining" issue right away. Cam.TV is a reliable project. Nothing about mining etc. (If you have any doubts, you can download any extension from the Chrome Web Store to monitor Cam.TV behavior. What do you see? :) )

💰2) Earn money directly by publishing your paid content 

On Cam.TV you can:

  • sell your ebooks
  • sell your consultations/services
  • publish paid posts (you can also provide a small free preview of the post)

💰3) Earn money indirectly with subscriptions


You will earn LKS coins every time someone subscribes to Cam.TV through you (feature removed)

💰4) Earn money indirectly with affiliations 

Every person who signs up for Cam.TV through your link (mine is https://ctv.im/R264F1) or reading/watching one of your content, becomes one of your affiliates.

If that person (affiliate) buys paid content on Cam.TV (ebook, post, advice) and pays X amount for it, you will be assigned a percentage on that purchase.

The percentages you are entitled to vary depending on your position within Cam.TV, so depending on your subscription or depending on your status as a founder. 


This is my plan, for example. (I am a Founder of Cam.TV)


How do I get Subscribers/Affiliates?

You don't need to send out weird invitations. Rather instead you go straight from your content.

There are 2 ways:

  • Direct link: You can send your friends your affiliate link. It's a link of this kind: ctv.im/R264F1 that will instantly redirect your friends to the "standard" Cam.TV home page (www.cam.tv). When someone registers with it, Cam.TV will associate the new subscriber as your affiliate, automatically. 


 This is my affiliate link, if you want to see yours go here

  • Indirectly: through your content. If an unregistered user clicks on the "Subscribe" button while browsing your channel or reading one of your contents, Cam.TV will automatically associate him/her as one of your affiliates. Getting lots of affiliates this way is very easy, since Cam.TV's content is indexed very well on search engines. (I also recommend sharing your content on other social networks ;) )


If you want, when publishing content, you can also embed your affiliate link inside a button like this one


💰5) Earn money by spreading the content of other creators

Do all your affiliates buy almost no content on Cam.TV? 😟

Are there other people who buy a lot of content on Cam.TV but are not your affiliates? 😟

No problem!

You can use the "Share and Earn" section. 😃


Using this section you can spread other creators' content outside of Cam.TV. If someone buys an ebook from another creator through the link you spread, you will get a percentage of the purchase! (to be clear, it's a bit like Amazon's affiliate program).

(Again, the percentage varies depending on your position on Cam.TV)

Other Advantages

🔎 Indexing and Visibility of your content

Every content on Cam.TV is extremely indexed on various search engines. If you don't believe us try to type "Mik-el Tech" on Google and see what's among the top results!

Cam.TV allows you to specify keywords to optimize the indexing of your content. You can set the keywords both for the post itself and for each individual multimedia element within it.

Making your posts on Cam.TV is more effecting than posting it on your blog! You won't waste time and money trying to increase the indexing for search engines.

🔎Protect your content with Copyright /NFT

On Cam.TV you can protect your content through Copyright! Blockchain technology allows you to "sign" the content that you place on Cam.TV and then on the web.

To protect your content is enough a click!

Update 10/04/2021: I don't see the "sign" option anymore in the article editor, but this happens for my account. (I can't tell if it's the same for other accounts or the whole platform)

Feed quality

Other platforms (e.g. Instagram) always highlight the newest posts.

In order to stand out in the feed, creators are forced to post content insistently every day. (This also leads to a drop in quality)

Cam.TV uses its Konrad Artificial Intelligence to optimally recommend content.

  • Quality posts will stay up! If someone has just post a new content, but that content is low quality... it will stay down!
  • Users can assign reviews (with stars and comments) under Cam.TV content to help the Konrad algorithm identify content of REAL value (removed)


🎯Target your Audience

  • If you publish a "Content" = it will be visible for everyone, inside Cam.TV and on the web
  • If you publish a "Post" = it will be visible to your CamTV followers only!

Blending between the 2 gives amazing results.

📧Send Emails to all your followers

An amazing feature you can't find anywhere else, you can use it to reach your followers even outside Cam.TV!

(pay attention when using it, or you'll end up in the trash folder 😆)

This feature will give you huge results when you have something really important to tell your followers! (it really helped me when I needed help from my followers for a contest!)

👁๏ธStyle

On Cam.TV you can structure your posts in an elegant and impactful way.

You can structure your posts with links, images, colors and lists. (You can not do this on Facebook!)  

👁๏ธFocus

70% of the space on Cam.TV is entirely dedicated to your content!


Zero Advertising

Nothing else to say, give a look!

📹Direct and Videoconference System

On Cam.TV you can make live broadcasts with chat support during which you can also receive donations in LKS coin. 

Cam.TV has a videoconferencing system that is free for everyone and very interesting. Soon it could be open to everyone, even those who are not subscribed to Cam.TV!



Disadvantages

1) Communication

I've been using Cam.TV for 2 years and I've often missed news because there have been communication problems. Communication is often scattered between newsletters, telegram groups and facebook, while the official channels "Cam.TV Official" and "Cam.TV Creators" on the platform were born late and are still difficult to "discover". Other times the news were given in the live broadcasts but no written articles were made.

2) Visibility of Affiliates

It is no longer possible to see a summary of how many people are our affiliates and who they are.

3) Privacy?

Cam.TV uses blockchain technology, so all the data on the platform should be safer than the classic solutions with centralized servers. I would like to understand what data is stored on the blockchain and what data must be centralized.

Another point to stay on topic. To certify your account Cam.TV requires personal data that I personally do not find strictly necessary. But since on Cam.TV you have to deal with transactions anyway, I guess it was done to avoid misuse of the platform. However, it must be said that personal data are always at hand and editable with a click. (section "Profile").

4) Environmental Impact

The environmental impact of a blockchain-based solution is greater than that of a centralized solution.

Comparatives

  • CamTV vs Facebook: Facebook doesn't allow nicely formatted and complex post with images and buttons.
  • CamTV vs Instagram: Cam has higher image quality and unlike the Instagram feed algorithm (that prefers creators that publish everyday), it rewards posts that are truly great.
  • CamTV vs Patreon and similar: Patreon users must recharge their credit card to donate to creators, each CamTV user can donate 1 LKS coin every minute).
  • CamTV vs Udemy and similar: on Udemy you can get a free preview of a video course, on Cam you can get free content, free previews, paid content for everyone, and paid content for "patreons"
  • CamTV vs a Blog: CamTV will show up on the top search engines, your blog will remain unforgotten somewhere, unless you spend time or pay someone to get a better indexing.
  • CamTV vs Skype: soon everyone could make a videocall on CamTV, even unsubscribed people, and from a browser!
