A little over a month from now since I embarked on a new journey with @OCD's Onboarding Program and did the Seminar in Cebu for the new members and new talented prospects. Today am taking a step back...
...to celebrate the small success, share some tips to other newbies, dedicated this blog to reflect. So for the first part of this blog, I would like to pay tribute to my onboarded members who are still here and consistently active in the community. Also, they are celebrating their one month on Hive, to @sassycebuana, and @jongcl, Happy one monthHivesary lovely ladies!
I love when people celebrate their milestones, even if it's a small one. You know how we can all get so busy juggling our day-to-day lives and sometimes we forget to pat our lives on the back?
Success doesn't always have to be viewed as monumental or achieving complicated tasks. Sometimes we need the smaller goal for the bigger ones to be manageable.
Come join me as we get to know more about Rica (@sassycebuana), and Jong (@jongcl) as part of our mini celebration for them!
About Rica (@sassycebuana)
Rica is a blogger for 10 years and a proud single mom to her gorgeous daughter. She's also into photography and loves fashion, I've seen how she and her daughter dressed up in their photo shoots, they're adorable!
She loves writing so much that she would private message me if she could post every day. She has a lot of scheduled posts all ready and waiting for the time to pass by so she could another one is like a waiting game so she uses that free time to engage in the community or assist the other newbies of our group either on here on Hive or on our FB group chat.
During one of our private chats, she told me that she has so many things that she wants to share with the Hive community through her writings, and when I read this, it was like an apple to my eyes! Because not everyone can write in just seating and sometimes I have to keep on pushing other people and motivate them to share something through writing or even using the other dapps so stay consistent with their Hive page.
Rica had onboarded 7 people who already created their introduction post and two more members who are still working on their first post. I am so amazed and so proud of Rica that she was able to encourage these people to join Hive. I have a plan of doing a small meet-up with her group once the modified general community quarantine is lifted.
Rica shares her one month journey on Hive on her post, "FIRST MONTHIVESARY | WHY I BOARDED ON HIVE AND HOW I WAS DOING SO FAR".
About Jong (@jongcl)
Jong is Rica's younger sister, she's a 27-year charming lady who loves fashion and photography (just like her sister, Rica),
and is a teacher by profession. In her introduction post, “Jong CL who? The Write to Wander Blogger and Writer for Seek God First", which I really enjoyed reading, she mentioned writing is therapeutic, and this is why her passion in writing really shows the way she conveys herself. I really admire how she leaves her readers with a better sense of self and a focused future.
Check out Jong's blog on "27 Things I Learned at 27 AND Happy First MontHIVErsary to me!"
How I met Rica and Jong?
It all started with this little yellow card that I randomly gave to people who. I asked them if they know any bloggers that would be interested in joining "our blogger's community". Out of the 8 cards that I gave away, Rica was the only one that showed interest and curiosity.
She contacted me on Instagram and so I communicated with her for couple of days and invited her to my seminar. This was when I met Jong. She was invited by her sister to join us... And their journey began in that little cafe, R&R Urban Cafe, (out of three local cafes that I tried to collaborate) the only place where was able to host a seminar despite of the amidst of this pandemic.
Rica and Jong are both very active on their page and other Hiver's pages. Whenever I visit their account activities, they always impress me because they really show engagement which is really important if you want to grow your network on this platform. They are self-driven and goal-oriented people. Rica is always showing her leadership skills in our group that's why I delegated her a task to submit the Hive posts/blogs on OCD Onboarded Curation room on discord. Without a doubt, Jong will also take the lead as she always shows her admiration from her sister.
Take away for the Newbies
Each of us has a unique talent, skills, and no need for comparison rather focus on what we can bring to the table. We have to give each other recognitions, whether it's big wins, and small ones because I truly this helps boost esteem.
Be Grateful!
Instead of complaining that you should be getting more upvotes or visibility on your post/blog because the tremendous amount of effort that you put into your work is valuable to the community. Think again!
Each of us weighs value in different ways. What is valuable to me does not mean it is valuable to you. I personally believe it's important that we show gratitude for what we received and always focus on bringing something to help the community a better platform.
Engagement... Engagement... Engagement!
I cannot emphasize more the importance of this. If you take some time to observe other Hive accounts, new or old ones, maybe you are one of these people... if lacking engagement chances are... you are not getting enough upvotes or support from the community and you would likely leave the platform unless you have invested a good amount of money to your account and do not need other people's support to upvote your posts or blogs.
Why OCD Onboarding Program?
I have written the first part of this journey a month ago on this post: "What Is It Like Being Part Of OCD's Onboarding Program?" and it's amazing how time flies so fast and here I am still kicking stilettos, lol.
I ask those who signed up using my referral link to remove me as one of the beneficiaries so they can keep the 3% reward to themselves. It is important that we show transparency to our team but I also explained why they should keep OCD as a beneficiary to support the project. One of the benefits of being on the program is that they will be added to one of OCD’s curation teams, the “onboarded-curation”. But again, I’ve said it before, depending on the quality of the post, that’s how much upvote each blog/post will receive from OCD’s account(s).
It's funny because I was only expecting at least two to three out of 10 people whom I onboarded will even stick around or not even after my Seminar in Cebu. Yes, time, collaboration, and money were involved but let me tell you it was all worth it! 14 have already published their first post who signed up using my referral link:
@sassycebuana, @jhongcl, @simpledemple, @asasiklause, @hiraya, @onifled, @eeventuree, @kcwonders, @aldrinadventurer, @blankgamer8, @explorewithsasha, @cheerupwithjl, @byaaaheeelou,
Also, other new onboarded members of our Cebu Hive group:
@indayclara’s onboarded member: @intoy.bugoy
@uebermensch (one of @sassycebuana's invites under @ybanezkim26 link)
@itsmiessyonpeakd using regular sign up
And why am I more motivated and eager to bring more people to this community? It's because of OCD's Onboarding Program. And I recommend you read this [post] to get a full understanding of why you should join the project.
To be honest it is a lot of work once you have a number of new onboarded members and this is why I delegated some tasks to @sassycebuana and as a team we always try our best to help each other and have fun with what we do. And always thankful to @ybanezkim26, and @thegaillery, sharing their time to motivate and also assist the newbies on the fb chat group. @indayclara and @chillwithshanna for also engaging with with everyone despite of their busy schedules.
To @gerel for always being available to do some research for me and taking care of some tasks on my to-do lists for the the team.
If you think you have good intentions to help bring talented people to the platform and are willing to take full responsibility for guiding your new onboarded members, you can submit your application on this post or contact the OCD team on discord: https://discord.gg/fgkwcRM5.
To @acidyo for giving me and everyone in our team this kind of opportunity. It is a privilege to be part of your innovative project.
