It would be helpful to have some hashtag links that are best practices.
Good for connecting people looking for HIVE:
Good for people looking for crypto?
But there's also content specific tags to think about:
- finance
- comics
- nsfwart
- crowdfunding
Beyond that I've been thinking about some minor more advanced type work. A cool thing I did once was respond to a question over on a subreddit I mod for, in the form of a HIVE post.
By making the source article on HIVE, you direct traffic to HIVE.

Another thing that is worth thinking about, particularly for content creators -- is how to integrate comment and upvote engagement on posts into the process of work itself.
I haven't integrated this idea yet, but it's kind of exciting, and I'd like to integrate it into my next project.
On Patreon, you have a poll system, and a lot of artists will take a poll, and the one with the most votes will be the pin-up selected for that week, or whatever.
I've seen variants of this on twitter for example, artist makes a post, and then people respond and upvote the responses they like most, and then artist makes another post in response to the upvotes and responses from the previous post.
This was basically a CHOYA - choose your own adventure -- type erotic comic on twitter.
There are also auctions that take place in comments sections. Saw that once in Furaffinity, someone did a YCH comic - your character here - where they opened up a couple of slots in their comment section, and then people organized into auction sub-threads, within slots of characters. -- This one uses the comments section, but not really the upvoting utility which is present in the previous example.

Point being here the incentive for #POSH within HIVE is to get an upvote / upvote trail from OCDB.
But, if I'm aligning my monetization incentives with the #POSH initiative, then I'm creating some form of content that uses HIVE as a home base for project development -- basically, and with project execution, comes promotional outlets.
So, the ideal situation would be for content creators on HIVE to structure their work in a project oriented way, that targets their wider audience beyond HIVE, in addition to whatever audience they manage to find on HIVE.

It's like, when I have a kickstarter campaign, I want to tell people about it. And that creates a massive inflow of traffic for kickstarter, basically decentralizing / outsourcing their marketing efforts for their own site.
Artists can use this in the examples given above.
Writers can use this to govern their projects.
Forming the content as HIVE exclusive, or HIVE home based, is even stronger.
- If you want to see it, you need to go to HIVE.
- If you want to participate, you need to be on HIVE.
And to the content creator:
- If you want to monetize it, you need to share it, and direct traffic toward HIVE.
.:.
So, in conclusion, what I am most excited about is creative DAOs using HIVE as a home platform, and tools that provide those creatives with monetization / post engagement techniques, which incentive them to fund projects or cultivate audiences on the HIVE platform.
What happens then, would be something like "The population of people on HIVE is only so big, so if you want to have financial success [define financial success in broader terms than HIVE Post Rewards - but also inclusive of them] -- then, #POSH is a part of your business / posting practice.
#POSH:
[Twitter]
[Reddit]
[Facebook]
[CryptoVoxels]
[Discord]
[#hashused]
[#another]

Additional significant sources could be links in the back of published books on KINDLE.
Or, methods of engagement on crowdfunding campaigns, like Kickstarter.
Another method could be using HIVE as a base platform for a newsletter, and then sharing the link of the newsletter around -- also naming the newsletter as a #hashtag -- So there is a public catalog of all newsletters -- and all newsletters correlate with #hive / #hiveisalive -- and are tagged on platform with #posh
All arguments for using HIVE as a home base for project development blogs -- or as a project 'foundation layer' / 'home base' -- rather than, "I'm just going to make a post for the people on HIVE and then share it with #POSH, so I get more rewards -- if people come to HIVE and sign up, that's on them."
It's a cultural change toward a more incentive aligned, project based approach to what sort of content is posted, and therefore, who it is shared with.
.:.
The easiest way to implement this would be to standardize and customize it with the moderators of communities, or have those moderators lead by example and build something more financially successful for themselves [in addition to, but also beyond the minimum goal of post rewards].
This way when people model what they do, and how they post, and what sorts of posts get rewarded, they can model after posts who have their own monetization / engagement incentives aligned with the motivations behind #POSH.
I'll do this for my comic work once I've completed my current project -- could be a month or two.
Wow a lot to soak in here, thanks for all your detailed input. Hope I can help get your project to fruition once you start building it as I think it will be very valuable for marketing and getting more traffic onto our chain.

Yep.
