RE: What are Hive's chances for survival?

No, I don't feel burned out -- but, I am a long-hauler now who came here as an established author and business person. It is easy for me to lean into support systems and both give and receive, and on the other side, Hive is good business at the moment with more opportunity both here and to be flipped elsewhere than I can actually take advantage of because of other responsibilities I have. Add on the fact that I asked the Lord for a way into crypto that I could understand -- He answered my request and until He directs me to leave what He pointed me to, I intend to remain. The combined mindset does not yet admit to burnout -- but I was literally built as a creative for Hive. I was doing things best done on Hive on Facebook and YouTube before Steem existed. I am an OUTLIER, and if you look around, the outliers -- major creatives who can adapt across many areas and communities -- are a lot of the TRUE content creators who are doing well here.

How to appeal to good content creators who are looking for a home -- Hive needs to get clear on what it wants to attract BASED ON WHAT IS ALREADY COMING TO IT, and advertise to that market. Splinterlands has reached the gaming market, but it is unrealistic to expect that to roll over into content on Hive -- that's a different type of person. We need to be visible to people who create powerfully and consistently because it is what they do, and to whom a little crypto is a bonus and communities in which they can interact and build with like-minded people would be a great opportunity.

Sort:  

But actually two people last week joined @shadowspub PYPT show ...and they came from Splinterlands and we're amazed that you could write on blog and get paid for it

One had a super brilliant idea, and wrote about it... But now that he's here, what is the community doing to support him?

It's hard to find new users and a handful of people can only do so much hehehe

My hope is that some of the things in the future will come out and support a lot more GOOD newbies who want to bring their content here .

There will always be outliers, of course ... the vast numbers of users of Splinterlands will yield people who adapt beautifully. I do see them trickling in ... but compared to the number in that market, I say again ... they are outliers, people who gap across once presented an opportunity.

Nuts and bolts: when I meet new people, I suggest they add the "introduceyourself" tag to their post if they haven't already. Heyhaveyoumet is also a good spot for them to immediately meet more people. I also suggest the following: consistency in interacting and posting is the key to everything here. The old Steem formula is still applicable with the beginner number of RC Credits here: one post, five comments per day OR, ten comments per day. Because I am a math person, the way I would advise people to go from there is to write a solid post and make five comments per day, and then respond and reach out on two days with 10 comments per day. The struggle for VISIBILITY can be solved algorithmically, and if we break down that the MATH of this is necessary and DOABLE, we will lose fewer people.
