It took me two hours or more before I got to Mushin Market. There was too much traffic on my way, and the weather was extremely hot, but as a lover of #spendhbd, I have to reach out to businesses and let people know about this life-saving project, hoping to get a positive response.
Firstly, I stopped at Mr Nwaneri's business to see if I could onboard more of his customers, and also appreciate him for @bojofurniture, who have constantly shopped with hbd since he was onboarded.
He asked some questions, and I cleared his doubts, and he was convinced over everything.Mr. Nwaneri also noticed that this discount has been motivating @bojofurniture to shop daily unlike before, and he's happy about that, he has been speaking to his customers, and he also mentioned that I need to be around to help with further explanation about hive platform because most people think is a scam, I agree on some days of the week I will be checking on him, I also advice him to tell his customers to just give it a trial and confirm if its scam or not.
We actually had a very long discussion, I spent quality time with him and his helpers, and I left to check on the house Paint business as I planned.
Sadly, most of the shops were locked because of the fasting that the Muslim sect of people were doing; the ones I managed to see were just the sales girls who couldn't give me the authority to list shops and talk to customers. I took some pictures left.
It's always sad when I spend time and come back without listing or onboarding a new user, but unfortunately, I don't have the power to force people to join.
Visiting old businesses
On my way back, I decided to check on some old businesses I listed, I stopped at @devillahot bar to say hi and see if I would get to onboard someone but unfortunately, no single person was there, in fact, the manager was complaining that the economy as affecting the business so much and he's losing customers, I advise him to keep on telling people about the hive, because discount is an attraction to businesses.
It was very sunny, but I continued. I stopped by @blbeauty and met with some interested women, but they had no extra time to sign up; they promised to call me when next they were around.
I decided to take care of myself a little bit after the whole sunny day, I took care of my nails and got some lip gloss and lipsticks and also eye pencil, it was really fun as I got my discount, and that really convinced those women that spendhbd project is not a scam, you have absolutely nothing to lose, you will only gain from this project.
It was evening, and I decided to go home, but on my way, I met another business owner who wanted to learn how to onboard newbies because she couldn't wait for me to onboard users before they could shop.
I promise to go back next week to educate her on how to onboard users who want to make payments for hive dollar; this will also help me to get more newbies. I was so happy that she is really interested in broadcasting the spendhbd project.
I was so tired, I came back home, had my bath, enjoyed my meal, and was about to go to bed.
I am tired but am not tired out of the project; I will keep doing my best at all times.
Good night everyone.
SpendHBD ambassador, you're doing great. Well done. You wouldn't blame the businesses that think spendhbd is a scam. This is Naija and we know what goes on here. It will only take time for people to begin to accept the project. You're already doing well in the sensitization campaign and I believe it's making great impact.

Thank you my beloved
