I'm trying to get out the first tutorial lesson that shows folks how to sign up, but until I finish the entire tutorial (half way done now) I'm not working that hard to promote it where newbies would see it. I'm hoping that once that's done that will help at least for folks who find the front page of Hive.io or PeakD. I'm also going to share it in online training communities as a free course once entirely done. Probably will be early May.
If I look at Pablo's stats, it's disheartening. There's a few coming through eSteem but I do miss the days when I could look at the intro posts, find something and give it a boost.
The split of chains is good in one sense but bad in another. STEEM is old and established. HIVE is new and less know about it, and I mean outside our bubble.
Someone was saying the other day how you cld sign up through esteem (or whatever its called now) and not even know it was on hive!. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be, I dunno!
A quick glance at the Steem side of the equation looks like they're not registering any more accounts than we are. I think we really need to spin our negative as a positive. Everyone complains about the lack of a quick centralized signup, but so many sites and networks launch & create a buzz by requiring a referral from a current member. We just need an easy and visible method of account creation & invite. Hiveinvite.com is great for power users but it’s systems should really be plugged right into hive.blog and PeakD.
I don't have an answer for sign-ups. I took one guy through it all months ago and it was painful. He has stuck and posts regularly now, and is used to it.. be he almost gave up several times.

That's pretty awesome initiative. Would love to see how it turns out !
Great work, we need all the help we can get!
I like your videos, I hope you are tweeting them. They need to be seen in the outside world.
