Continuing my on-boarding efforts, this week I already brought in 4 friends and hoping to complete the target of 7 new members per week. Here are the 4 of them.

Friends I on-boarded this week so far

Note: Some of them are still working on their introduction posts

Alright, part of the onboarding effort involves teaching them to use Hive platform in the proper way. SO I make tutorials for them. Today, I want to show them how to do some basic things such as login, vote, reblog, follow, etc.

2 How to vote a post and reblog

There are two ways to vote a post and reblog a post. You could vote and reblog with or without reading the post. But it is usually best to read a post before do so. Voting a post means you click the upvote button to help the author earn. Reblogging a post will make t appear under your own blog so that your followers will see it and interact with it. Reblogging a post does not earn you any reward. You are simply helping the author to increase visibility of his post.

A. voting and reblogging without reading a post:

3. How to follow anyone on Hive

Note: This step was originally featured in one of my old posts

There are at least 2 ways to follow Hive users. It include the following:

  • Go straight to their blog if you know their username. On top of every blog page, there is the "follow" button. Click it to follow the person. For example, you could follow me by going straight to my page and clicking the follow button: https://hive.blog/@focusnow. See the illustration below:

  • You can also open a post. Then click the person's username to reveal a pop-up with the persons profile shot. Click the follow button on the pop-up. See the illustration below:
