It's kinda crazy to know that the top list has surpassed 10m views on the reddit post with hive links so far. Highly doubt twitter ever did anything close to it even with the amount of people we have active there and it working for way longer than reddit has been running so far.
Excited to see this evolve as more people join in and bother getting over the initial hurdle of learning how to.
Maybe I should join in on the sharing soon!
Agree, that's fantastic! Would be good to have a discussion on how to use this traffic in the best way. I think, publishing these popular posts (mostly news) in special thematic communities with some cautious but clear onboarding touch might be one of the ways to use this traffic smarter. Because people often want to join
If we create these communities, some Hivers can join them too and we might get more engagement below the Hiveposh posts. Within communities, we can also incentivize Hivers (for example, comment contests) to join discussions below news posts. This might help to create discussion below popular posts which will be helpful for onboarding...
Generally, having a few bucks a month for commenting news can be tempting for thousands of people in the world (a Quora-type of crowd - dozens of thousands of people) - so, another onboarding benefit.
I am sure other guys have some interesting thoughts about how to use this traffic smarter...
That would be cool! For example, you can involve one week very seriously, not just a random share or two but a real competition. That would be fun. :)
@acidyo. Here is the very core issue I can see coming: older Hiveposhers will start draining their Reddit accounts. As some of us, like me, do that, we could put our experience to work by creating solid articles and pointing newcomers to where they can post them. One really good article could easily earn a million if shared across a few relevant subreddits. Weβd also need a list of new Hiveposhers with their specialities so we can direct them to the right communities. Experienced Hiveposhers could shadow newcomers on their first posts, offer guidance, and even jump into Reddit discussions when we know the topic. If a few of us do this together, weβd have a strong team and a smooth system that turns viral traffic into real engagement and helps new users get the hang of Hive faster. This would also solve the main issue of finding suitable content for new poshers, which is currently a big challenge. BUT I really love the competition, and Iβd probably have to give that up if doing this as It would take a bit more effort and time, but I can see how it could really be successful. :)
agree in all points, good idea
The only thing is, a few might find it unfair, as it is a competition. Not sure what others think about this. :)
yeah, we will see - got again some enemies after me with personla attacks over there - not mods but anyways.....
Ohh, don't worry about it, it can be annoying though. :)
The approach is appealing, not sure though I understand it correct - you mean we create communities on Reddit (so subs) or here on Hive or both?:
Sorry, missed this comment. I talked about Hive communities. Have you joined many websites, forums, and social media in your life? What was your motivation each time?
It could be
Thus, community and engagement (due to communities) make onboarding more probable. Secondly, a community can be onboarding-friendly - with some extra hooks to onboard a user.
Sounds cool - so my personal reasons / motivation would have been 1 and 6:
Apart from onboarding here via communities I also would try a bit more (based on comment by @theworldaroundme ) to drive / control conversation on Reddit. We sometimes get negative feedback and instead of saying nothing we should engage more.
Sometimes we get good views but hardly any engagement there - testing now to drive this a bit.
Think we should consider both ways - onboarding help via Hive communities and also engage on Reddit shares itself.
I know inleo has advertising on their UI. So the traffic we are sending generates advertising revenue for them.
Perhaps they can use this external revenue to buy Hive on Binance and burn the coins? It would both support the price and shrink the supply.
Same goes for peakd/ecency etc. If they can monetise with ads, the traffic we send could generate revenue to buy back hive. (They can keep a percentage for their server costs).
A good idea but I believe subreddits will be much less tolerant of our shares as soon as they see ads.
Peakd tried ads (and that was the reason Hiveposhers almost stopped sharing Peakd during this period) but they told that they had mostly traffic from poor countries, means the average price of the click was super low. So they removed ads.
Thank you for your witness vote!
Have a !BEER on me!
To Opt-Out of my witness beer program just comment STOP below
Yep, i remember when i started 50 000 views was a lot... now we got 10M each, on web2 we would be influencers by now lol
You are already an influencer. lol.
I haven't been contacted for a partnership with any energy drink yetπ€£
Thanks again @acidyo and @ocd. I can't believe it is over 10 m views too!
Well, come on then in the competition, think you can take me on? (kidding ;)) LOL.
