The good news is people who stay and put in the work get rewarded longer term, I have had months where I didn't do anything here and I see people who joined at the same time have so much more HP stored up. I know that is my own fault :)
for someone whose monthly income is just 300 USD
This gives me a lot of good perspectives because I am privileged living in Canada and working a middle-management job, what I can mistake as a small reward could be huge for someone where the wages are lower.
Knowing this, I have powered down a portion of my Hive to start giving out spot prizes and competition rewards for Authority Bloggers members, to encourage effort and growth! Perhaps the $Hive and the recognition will help keep people motivated :D
Yes, both appreciation and incentive work! That's a great idea!
