Nice post man... You see, over the time I have learnt these things and I have been using them mostly if I wanna bring in new people to hive. I don't boast about the rewards. I basically tell them the work involved. The commitment they have to put in or show, which involves reading (and I mean really reading people posts.) not just scrolling through, picking a line or two and add that line to Comment as reference and probably say a word or two on it. I am basically talking of reading the whole posts and understanding what the writer is really trying to pass on.
At times, I read a post on hive twice if I didn't catch the whole point during the first reading. Yea, commenting is another big issue. I was planning to write a post on this myself but not sooner. The way we all see commenting on hive is more like a job to many people. You know, that job that you would wake up in the morning, dress up and go to work. Come back home very stressed and tired and wish there is no wrk the next day cos the passion is not really there and you are just doing it for the money involved. That is the exact way many people here sees commenting.
Most don't comment for the sake of building a long lasting relationship or because a post is making them wow. They just do so for the reward which may involve getting attention or votes and so on. When I scroll through my Facebook page and see the way people comments on post (even lengthy posts) without expecting any rewards - of which they will never get, it amazes me. I will just say to myself "if hive would be like this. It would be lot more fun."
Also, engaging in discussions on other platforms outside hive. Hmmmm🤔pls shift make I confess small🤣 I dey guilty of this one. I swear. But that's just because I am running lots of things that would have taken my attention away from hive if I haven't learnt to love hive and get connected with some people.
I am still talking about the introduction of newbies by me. Lol. I don talk go Sha. But that is just the truth. I will tell them "hive is a place you have your own blog, earn instantly from it without some shitty Google adsense and you have freedom of speech. No one centralization. BUT!!! you will see little or no reward at the beginning (even though they might see much more good results, I prefer having them think they won't) and you will be more involved with the communities than you have ever been in any other social media. Basically speaking bro, you will work your ass out. Get tons of beautiful posts uploaded, which will return with no rewards and no comment. You will get your ass kicked badly like you will cry hard. But hey! You love blogging right? It blogging that is the main deal and not the reward. The ability to share your thoughts to the world and be able to enjoy centralisation. But at the end, with much connection and consistency, you will get there."
I further show them posts. First, I start with lots posts with lots of low rewards..... Especially mine.... Then I will go over to the onea with high rewards and comment. I will only show them three or four of the ones with high rewards. I did this to @rickardoh when I wanted to onboard him and that is why I am not surprised he is still in the game and he is getting stronger.
Yeah, he told me that you onboarded him and seriously he is really trying and I am seeing his handwork.
Presently I am trying to move to sharing my hive contents on reddits. Promoting Hive and my contents on reddits at the same while.
I used to base in onboarding new members on Hive but I stopped because many of the people are not ready for the work involved.
So I have moved my focus to assisting those already onboard. By that way it will get to know more people and build relationships.
You as well are doing really great! You are working really hard even though with your busy life. I am looking up to you boss 🙌🙌🙌
See this man dey call me boss🙄🙄we know how we dey do ham for naija ooo. If we start, this comment thread no go end. So for the sake of international behavior 🤣we both be OG.
Yea, it a good choice you've made by helping those already on board. At least, you are one of the very few Nigerians doing just that.
Reddit will be a very good place to promote contents. I remember once promoting my blog website and YouTube channel there and I got massive return. But it been quite long I had head over to reddit. Maybe I'll go back cos of you. 😏😉
Smile. I haven't used redit before so I don't know much of it but I heard it is great to promote your Hive contents there.
