3Speak Tips for Noobs

Making it easier for new users to use 3Speak

And the tips keep rolling in! Thanks @beeber for the ideas. I made you 50% beneficiary of this post.
This isnt a video production tutorial or anything like that. Rather some tips to make your experience using 3Speak a little easier and faster without less hasle.

Things to keep in mind

1. It isnt YouTube or Odeyese. Do not compare them.
2. This is new technology that no one else is putting these peices together in this way.
3. Expect things to break occasionaly.
4. There is an 11% share on your reward that is more than fair as a cost to use their service. Its very possible to make this back and more if the @threespeak curators upvote your video.
   Watch this video by @eddiespino to see how to meet the requirements for upvotes.
5. There are many things that could cause problems with uploading to 3Speak.

• Your cache on your web browser

• Your hardware. If you are running a 10 yr old laptop with 4gb of ram on a wifi connection. Use extreme patitience.

• Your connection to the internet.

• Your geographical location

• IPFS is slow until more nodes come online.

  So lets say you have your video recorded and edited and ready to post.
  Do NOT just log in and start uploading and then write your post. Do all this before you log into 3Speak.

Bonus Tip: You can always go sneak a look at the #issues room in the 3Speak discord to see if there are any issues they are having right before you log in.
