What is the v4v philosophy?
The value 4 value philosophy is a monetization model whereby creators earn directly from their audience or whoever finds their content valuable in one form or another. No companies, no banks, no middlemen. This is how creating content within the HIVE ecosystem works.
Podcast producers, musicians, designers, videographers can all come to HIVE, create content and the community will send tips as well as votes to receive a portion of Hive's rewards pool. If you a skill that you think adds value to a particular project, reach out, give some of your time or talent to that project and ask for a little something for your effort. More likely than not, the project team will say yes!
This has been the case for me with a couple of different projects. I collaborated with @coldbeetrootsoup to make a promo video for Moon Karts:
I also made a little promo video for Vibes music competition:
As well as a promo video for Hive-Echo:
Am I an employee of any of these projects?
No. I'm just a guy who like to make videos and thought it might be helpful to make some content for them. Fortunately, they thought so too and showed some incredible support for my work.
This video right here was made by me in an effort to explain what a value4value economy is and how anybody can benefit from it.
I'd also like to mention that the background music for this video is by Panda Beats, one of the music projects of an amazing musician named @ravenmus1c. We are collaborating on this video, so if you'd like to support Raven as well as me, consider giving us an upvote, a reblog or a tip. All are welcome!

Ohh now i get it fully, when you render service without expecting nothing in return you create value and get value in return.
Yes, the main idea is to focus on giving value. If others also think the thing you did was valuable to them, they will give value to you. Value-for-value.
Exactly and noted with thanks
V4V is in my view a woderful idea. Hope it spreads.
The HIVE ecosystem as a tool for building a V4V economy is quite compelling. V4V is most well-known in the podcasting 2.0 space, where creators use front ends such as Fountain to receive bitcoin sats from their audience, but as I stated in the video, v4v is much more than that, it's a philosophy. And HIVE goes very well with this philosophy.
Yes, true.
I’m fully onboard with v4v both here and on Nostr. Earning sats through conversations there and music releases on Wavlake, podcasting tools such as Fountain etc.
Yeah, v4v needs to be talked about more; it's way more than streaming sats. I'm just getting started with Nostr. I just downloaded Primal, but have not completely set up my wallet yet. It was asking me to KYC (???) So I'll tie my Alby Wallet instead.
Yeah I use Alby with Primal, Nostur and Yakihonne. I do also have a Primal Wallet but don’t use it anymore. I’ll look you up on Nostr but you can find me via my public key npub1mlru0pflddcmdv7xk5nhv7stnr0vugcm5jj64wlwevhqxnpuv96qexgrpv
When you give value, you get value in return
It works like magic
It's simple yet powerful. For those who want to make it, they need to embrace this concept and focus on providing value.
The value4value earnings is good. I love Hive Blockchain for that.
Great narrative, man. Interacting, generating value and getting paid back. We can see this post as an example :)
This post provides an insightful look into the value 4 value (V4V) philosophy and its practical application within the HIVE ecosystem. It's an excellent example of how decentralized platforms can empower creators to monetize their content directly from their audience, bypassing traditional intermediaries.
Your personal experiences with various projects (Moon Karts, Vibes music competition, and Hive-Echo) demonstrate the real-world effectiveness of this model. I read somewhere a suggestion to do post in association with someone else, I was asking myself how it could be? Now I saw a perfect example of that here.
The collaboration with Panda Beats (/@ravenmus1c, who I saw very active at InLeo) for the background music further illustrates the community-driven nature of this ecosystem, where creators support and work with each other.
This post not only explains the V4V concept but also serves as a living example of it in action. It encourages others to explore similar opportunities within the HIVE ecosystem and highlights the potential for a more direct and fair relationship between content creators and their audience.
Overall, this is an inspiring and informative post that showcases the power of decentralized, community-driven content creation and monetization.
Thank you so much for sharing!
It takes me some days to give this answer, lets continue on V4V growing together!
