Do you have a special gift for communicating or selling, but feel you need a certain kind of video or written material to better understand and explain Hive to your friends/colleagues? Or maybe you have a great tool for promoting Hive already that most people haven't been using.. Let us know in the comments below, we will curate your answers and ideas - Let's make Hive great!
I'm personally always trying to connect with people whenever I read/hear something that's needed or wanted. I think I know how to connect the right people nowadays even though I'm not at the top of Hive members list regarding stakes or connections.
Currently, my focus is social media management for the CineTV communityt which is going great, as we see more people active in our community since we picked this up with a small team that's very dedicated. I Tweet daily writing prompts for inspiration and this seems to work great. I bet once the new website is done, this will onboard new users for that genre.
On top of that, I've been promoting quite some other users on Listnerds as well as showing communities in terms of creating a community highlight email. I've noticed in the comments that I have managed to show people new sides of Hive by doing so.
In the near future, when I've moved to Spain, I will start with what I wanted to do just pre-pandemic: a course about Hive, to onboard those that have somehow grabbed my attention, having an awesome talent/passion/skill being unused or not sure on how to market themselves. I want to show them that it doesn't have to be as difficult as they think it may be. I'm in the process of writing my first ebook about the Listnerds journey as a total newbie in the email marketing industry. I had zero experience and want to show others that they can use such a tool for whatever it is they have to offer. It's a huge engagement tool, and actually very fun, nothing that I expected it to be. I shared this article on Listnerds just now, hoping that there will be some more answers to the questions.
I'm also going to create a new community with my friend @amirtheawesome1 as we feel there is often a lack of fitting community for some topics and we hope we can offer a solution for that problem.
Great, thanks for sharing your passion - it's true that Hive's rewards system means that some people become intimidated and believe that they cannot compete or that it will be too hard or a waste of their time. So promoting Hive is often as much about helping people to become the best versions of themselves as it is about the technology or money.
Listnerds looks interesting, yes - we will take a look at it in time and think of ideas for using it to promote Hive on a large scale.
I had an entire post talking about that problem. While it is still true, in my opinion. Someone pointed out that "If you build it, they will come", a point with which I agree.
That's the essence of what @thisismylife and I are trying to do. Filling missing spaces/communities can be a great promotional tool in itself as from personal experience I have seen people not opting to join would do so because they don't find their niche.
This will also coincide with another community set to be there solely to be a guide to all the active communities, making access easier. So many people are not aware that the type of community they're looking for already exists.
I have actually spent hours going through all the communities and categorizing them, we have over 400 active communities (Based on pending rewards at least), so I think the guide we're working on could serve as a great meet-up point that will not only shed light on existing communities but make creating new ones more purposeful and focused.
