Why Most Fail On Hive

in LeoFinance10 months ago

We are entering a new realm. It is an exciting time. Unfortunately, most are not serious about what is taking place. For this reason, they are failing at the opportunity before them.

Web 3.0 is going to change the world. In fact, it is possible to make the case it already is. Here we have an opportunity for millions (billions) of people around the world to change their financial situation.

Over the years, I wrote articles discussing what is occurring. There is the potential to transform economies. People have access to economic opportunities that were non-existent before. We are dealing with a global animal that is entered simply with an account and Internet connection.

Personally, I feel Hive is at the epicenter of this. It is one of the few blockchains that can truly merge social media with finance. Due to the resource credit system, the potential to blend these comes from the lack of transaction fees. Hence, this truly stands out.

You would think people who arrive here grasp this for dear life. Think about it, we have the potential to monetize our social media activities. That is something that was foreign to most. Sure, one might be a profitable content creator on YouTube but we know the lengths people have to reach to attain that level. It is impossible for most.

Yet on Hive, we offer the potential to everyone. How come people are failing so miserably.

Like always, they will place blame somewhere else. In this article, we are not going to buy into any of that. It is true that Hive is not perfect. That said, success starts by looking within.

Business

At the top of the list is the fact that people still do not grasp what it means to have an account on Hive.

Simply put, if you have an account, you are a business. This might seem a bit excessive since many join simply to interact with others. That could be the case. Nevertheless, when something is monetized, it becomes a business.

Here is where the failure starts. People simply do not take their time on Hive seriously. To them it is something they true out. If they make an effort, they usually turn away after a short period of time. The trend seems to be I want hundreds on my first few posts or this place is a scam.

Another way of looking at this is they want the rewards without putting in the work. Is this how a business person thinks? Not usually.

Some might take exception to this as being too serious. Why are we trying to frame things in this manner? Shouldn't we be promoting the idea of fun and not trying to weigh people down?

I would agree except for the fact, that over the past 6 years. the conversation always centers around rewards. Monetization is a central premise of Web 3.0 so we cannot avoid it. Those who understand this are going to be better served.

My experience is the most successful people on Hive are the ones who take it seriously. Their actions are different from the rest.

Long-Term Dedication

These are actually two concept but they can combined.

On Hive, long-term focus is crucial. We often call it a compounding machine and that is certainly true. That said, one key component is time. Results are much larger when compounded over longer periods of time.

Thus, anytime pertaining to Hive is going to take time. Most who are regularly engaging have been at it for years. They started long before the fork with Steem and will be at it years from now.

Dedication is another factor that is huge. This means not doing a drive by once in a while. How many people have we seen appear with each bull market only to disappear when the bear returns? This is quite common. We also have those who will post or interact in short bursts and then disappear for weeks on end. Of course, they wonder why they aren't making any progress.

For some reason, people feel that attributes required for success in others areas of life do not apply to Hive. Again, there is monetization all over the place within this ecosystem. If you want a part of it, you are going to have to be serious.

Take Responsibility

Most people are wage slaves. This is clear to me.

We live in an economy where the majority of us spent our lives toiling for a wage. Some received fantastic pay; others not so much. This ultimately made us slaves to the system. Our financial situation was in the hands of others.

It often gets compounded (and not in a good way) by falling for the consumerism mindset that is readily promoted. People go into debt to appease something within themselves, furthering their enslavement to the paycheck.

When happening upon Hive, we enter an entirely new world. Once again, you are a business. You are free to operate it how you wish. What this means is you are responsible. Here is where disconnect takes place. How many people on Hive have taken responsibility for the results they get? In fact, how many step up to embrace the action, or lack thereof, they put forth?

Many have espoused how they would love to earn a living off Hive. That is a noble goal. However, did they people truly make it a goal or was it a fantasy they allowed themselves to embark upon for a few moments? We know wishing brings about nothing.

So for all those who would like to make a living off Hive, how many actually took responsibility for their business and mapped out a plan to build it? Did they even take the first step in applying business building principles?

This is what I mean by taking responsibility. If you want the outcome, the activity is required.

Knowledge

Unfortunately, since most of us reside in the wage-slave economy, few are trained at running or operating a business. The education system does it best to turn out obedient robots. We are usually schooled to get a job, not run a business.

One thing Hive does bring is education. We are a permissionless database. There is all kind of information posted. How many articles are written about how to succeed on Hive (I am adding another one to the pile)? There are dozens, of not hundreds, that you can tap into.

We also have a plethora of content about money management and how to invest. This will have a bit of a twist with Web 3.0 but many of the principles are still applicable.

In other words, with the Internet, a lack of knowledge is not an excuse. We can find information about whatever it is that we need to learn. It can be found on Hive or, if not, on traditional social media.

There is a pathway to success on Hive. It is a versatile platform meaning people can focus upon many different things. At the core of this, however, is the mindset that one approaches it with. For many, they do not take Hive seriously and it shows in their results.

Thank you for your uplifting article. I began with Steemit, but then stopped for a long period. Your statements about long-term perspectives and dedication ring very true.

Many stopped on Steemit. In fact, most of us did.

We are a bunch of "businesses" with a lack of "customers" besides other "businesses", some of whom are trying to market a very similar product. There's no way to gain a reward from a new "customer" as they must become a business first to do that.

Even if we were to get some mainstream content creators to move to HIVE, and even IF they could get their viewers to come too, all of their viewers have no way to reward the content creator they followed here once they arrive. Then they have to learn a whole new system, learn how to gain rewards so they can give them out, all while avoiding the Hive Police and downvotes. The content creator is stuck waiting for their viewers to be able to reward them.

People do need to take it more seriously if they expect to be a top content creator with top rewards... Top content creators on other platforms don't just treat it like a business, most of them are actual businesses running the show.

But the rest of us need to accept the mainstream garbage that comes along with an average consumer, as they are our meal ticket and chasing them away with downvotes and control will leave us with only producers, and a complete lack of consumers.

I get that we need downvotes to stop abuse, but downvoting someones content because they suck at creating content is along the same lines as kicking someone because they are disabled IMO. Some people are just not that good, don't need to kick em for it.

Save the downvotes for blatant plagiarism, post spam attacks and highly illegal or unacceptable content. Normal people can't take a thumbs down too many times for just being themselves before they decide they don't want to be around that anymore.

Who got downvoted because they suck? And who downvoted them? May I see an example please so this problem of "kicking disabled people" can be remedied.

Read the on chain downvote history, along with the comments of those who downvoted.

The term "I do not agree with the rewards given to this post" comes, or came up a lot. It's easy for the person receiving that downvote to think, "Me or my content sucks too much to receive X amount of reward." Then they turn around and see similar content trending, sometimes upvoted by the very account that downvoted them.

Anyways, the point I'm trying to make is, HIVE is a product, and the content on Hive is also a product. All products need producers and consumers. Producers here (for the most part) are your long form content creators, and photographers. Consumers are your average account that doesn't post quality content, but views others content. Your average user isn't going to post high quality content, just like your average youtube account probably doesn't even have a video uploaded, and if they have any uploaded, it's low quality content... We want many of these average accounts here posting their average content making an average of very little for their average post.

I used to read a lot of complaints about downvotes, not so much anymore. The downvoting has slowed, but has it slowed because the downvoters changed their strategy? Or has it slowed because the users targeted have mostly left?

Where are all our consumers? We had plenty... There was a shit load of average Joe's and Janes spewing their gibberish all over the chain, and now they are an endangered species near extinction. I want them back, and if they do decide to come back, I would appreciate it if others didn't chase them away.

Maybe ask the "people who suck" directly to produce more "gibberish." Encourage them.

You're doing great, could you produce more content please? 🤣

But seriously though you are correct, they do need encouragement. I think threads will help the average user.

Now you're catching on. I think you have your roles mixed up a bit.

Since Hive is a decentralized blockchain, and each one of these content creators is like a business owner, I'd say it's each individual's responsibility to attract consumers. And if people wanted their businesses to make money, that would require paying consumers.

A paying consumer wouldn't walk into a shop and begin sweeping the floor to earn money from the shop owners before being able to make a purchase. They'd simply bring their money with them.

An individual with stake is a paying consumer in this scenario. Staking tokens in order to support products the consumer wants is a good deal to the consumer since their money isn't spent and they actually have an opportunity to earn consumers perks like "curation" reward and upvotes on their comments.

There are also a few shortform content platforms on Hive someone wishing to play that role might be interested in. Threads and Dbuzz for example. Very few posting in that fashion are being downvoted for it. It's encouraged.

So what they need are fewer people injecting fear and gibberish in their heads, like you're doing, and more encouragement. In a way I guess you'd call that "good customer service" and really, it's up to each and every individual to provide that.

The platform has a lot of people attempting to double as both content creators and consumers. Consumers show up thinking they need to become content creators, which of course isn't going to work.

Their role along with the perks and benefits needs to be highlighted more. They also have games to play though some of those games can be tricky for the average consumer to get into.

I've been talking about this stuff for years. I compared accounts to businesses in a post here several years before task wrote this post.

What product are we talking about here? HIVE the token, HIVE the blockchain, Hive the blogging platform, the content on Hive? Hive is made up of several products, and each should be marketed to their intended users differently.

Customers (assuming the product is content) don't have to bring their money with them to view content most other places for the creator to get paid, they simply view the content and become the product for ad revenue, and the site owner passes a small portion to the content creator.

As you said, here users end up trying to double as creators and consumers, here the lines get blurry, users get confused by their roles, everything gets wonky. There's no direct connection between ad revenue and the users who bring those views either.

I'm not trying to sew fear, this is the first time I brought any of it up (I think anyways). Just talking about what I've seen.

No, just pump them out. Slaughter, plunder, Arr Arr.

You're one of the most helpful people here. And I hope you like sarcasm.

I can't take the drama anymore. Let's just have fun and enjoy the ride till the next fork hits. The Tech is good, the current implementation here is mid.

So why come stir shit up?

I thought I'm being funny, making people take the chill pill.

My war was HOT when it was cool, now everyone and his mother is complaining loudly against the Downvotes and Hive Owls. There will be a change with one of the upcoming forks, these witnesses aren't fluffing stupid.

I feel offended, why would I be offending anyone posting a cat meme? #rude

That is true but there are many layers to Hive. I dont think that too many appreciate it. Games are another aspect to Hive that is going to be business for many. But you defaulted to content creation, which is sensible since that is the only thing that was here for so long.

Also people over look layer 2 because of the fact no tokens have really amassed much value. I have a feeling that will change once we have a breakthrough of the first one. I am sure you can guess what I think it will be.

The ecosystem needs to focus upon wealth generation. That is the key. It does not come simply from looking or focusing upon the main reward pool. That is a major part of it but not the only game in this town.

I think taking things seriously and treating it like a business is a foundational part on succeeding in Hive. This web3 opportunity has a potentially big financial upside when we take good advantage of it. Everything is there to learn and iterate upon based on our unique abilities.

I would say that is a smart move. There is a lot more being offered on Hive as compared to a few years ago. It is time people started to realize this.

Great work I'm here for the long haul! I love everything this blockchain has to offer and I believe your right about the future of hive!

That is awesome. It could serve you very well.

Im interested in every working part. I have tried to bring good content creators from other platforms over but there is mostly lemmings around .... The lemmings that adore the wrong kind of numbers. Thank you for the info in the post!

Honestly you said it all, if you handle your business properly the results will be good. Many of us see it as short time job, only few see it as business but to well understand, Hive is more like business that we run traditional which means it requires our effort and dedication to make us successful.

Thanks for sharing.

You are welcome and thanks for reading. I appreciate it.

You made a good point. Keep the good work 👍

Because people come to Hive for money. But the money is not where they think it is. The main advantage of Hive is investments and passive income.

The rewards are an income. There are other pieces as you spell out. Web 3.0 is going to change this a great deal. However, the mindset is what has to change first.

Web 2.0 favored corporations and their shareholders. Web 3.0 is making the users the beneficiaries. We need to take it as seriously.

Dedication has always proven to be worthy at the end of it all. It's not easy but we must not limit ourselves and push to attain greatness

Thank you so much for sharing your expertise about the hive. I agree with you, this is like a business, if you want to prosper in your business, extra effort and time should be given. Or else your business will not prosper the way you think it will grow. These valuable inputs from your post are very much appreciated and very helpful for us to grow and learn along the way.

Due to its direct connection with cryptocurrency (and I am regarding Hive as a form of cryptocurrency in this statement), people may bring their associations of a quick profit-making scheme to this ecosystem, not understanding that its function is actually quite different - or at the very least, far broader in scope - than a simple purchase, hodl, and sell scheme. Maybe cryptocurrency as a whole has to mature before people take Hive seriously as more than just a cryptocurrency scheme. This will certainly take time, but if the time comes when the average individual takes it seriously this will help Hive thrive in all of its applications and scopes.

Great insights - and honestly, applicable to many areas of life outside of Web 3.0. Thanks as always. 😊

No doubt we (the industry) created a mess. The focus upon mooning and Lambos caused a great stir and pulled the attention of regulators. Instead of focusing upon the tech all conversation, even today, resides in the fact that people are going to get rich. There is nothing wrong with that mind you since we are looking at rewarding early adopters and trailblazers which is always the case.

We have technology that changes things and the attention goes to PEPE.

Posted Using LeoFinance Alpha

I like the general humor that's inherent within the cryptocurrency industry, as it's a good way to target a younger audience (memes such as PEPE catch immediate attention). That said, it has to mature significantly further in order to progress in the way that we desire. I hope that as adopters grow older, they'll take the industry and its inherent technology more seriously.

Thank you a lot @taskmaster4450 for teaching us how to do business and Hive is already a business. There's a lot of things to learn here.

I am so thankful for the Hive community for helping me to learn more about Hive and it's ecosystem. There's a lot of things to learn but at least I am making progress.

It is not an easy thing to grasp yet is worth the time and effort put in to figure it out in my opinion.

Yes, I agree most people are still skeptical of the Hive Blockchain but sooner or later they will realize.

There’s a cheat code on Hive many don’t talk about, and that’s grinding more during the bear than any other cycle.

Cheat code: WORK.

Posted Using LeoFinance Alpha

One of the main reason to people don´t keep going using hive is the miss of the presence of they physical community and friends here. When you go to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram you find there your friends, family or celebrities favorites. When you come to Hive you isolate yourself from that social contact with your know people.

Nobody like it but the miss of algorithms make for the newbies more difficult to understand hive and interact with the people they follow and the content they like. And I am not counting the difficulty to create an free account and have to learn about 4 differente keys for make actions on the platform. Majority of persons don´t care or want learn about that, only wants login fast to chat, see funny videos and do shitpost as they do on the #web2.

I dont disagree with you although as areas like Sucre are showing, the real world interactions can transfer over to Hive. We have to keep in mind that web2 has a huge head start.

As for the difficulty, it isnt easy. But that is part of change.

Majority of persons don´t care or want learn about that, only wants login fast to chat, see funny videos and do shitpost as they do on the #web2.

Yes and that is why they will not succeed. A web 2 mindset is not going to lead to success in web 3.

One can enjoy funny videos on web 3.0, all while toiling away at a job. Those who think of it as a business might find they are in a different category.

Thanks for the many insights you provided. I think it is high time for us to take Hive seriously.

It is up to each person. We are free to pursue whatever paths we choose.

Posted Using LeoFinance Alpha

Yes, that's what makes Hive more attractive. The diversity of choices is amazing.

I am here from 2018 and I totally agree with you we have so many things missing on over end, even I don't able to post consistently, there are some gaps of days or months because we have so many other activities in real life that's why sometimes we ignore or give less importance to hive that's why we are not able to get the results we want

Another thing is all the people or hive users who are putting enough efforts and work on daily basis without any break they are getting very nice results, there accounts and Holdings are growing along with there reputation

Life happens. That is true. We all have to make choices based upon what we feel is best for us.

However, it is no different than anything else. If we want success in any one area, it requires time, effort, and dedication.

Those who are successful in any endeavor make the time by prioritizing.

This getting out of Hand pretty fast right now. Until this date next year, you will be able to listen to your post debating George Washington. It's going 2be wild.

I expect a fair amount of the issue can be traced to the number of people who arrive here thinking it's going to be "easy money." They also have hopes/expectations that it will be "money for nothing," more or less.

Hive may be a gateway to Web 3.0, but this is still a social content venue. You don't get to be "MrBeast" for posting a couple of crappy videos and waiting. As such, the "business" analogy is a good one. And we can look to the legacy business world for another hint to succeeding: Most businesses succeed not as a result of "inspired brilliance," but as a result of long-term dedication and outlasting both skeptics and their competition.

Perhaps the best thng we can do for Hive is to not just promote it as a way to make money, but as a way to build something.

I would say you are absolutely spot on. Of course, it is no different than anywhere else.

Why do people think Hive is easy money when it is a major chore on YouTube? It is far easier here than there.

Posted Using LeoFinance Alpha

The thing that makes many new people discouraged and quit is the lack of support and encouragement from the community they choose to post their content. It can be really frustrating after posting a number of articles and not a single vote or comment from a human being.

I would have quit by now if not for some old users that keeps encouraging me to press on, and the Leothreads also that makes me feel belong.

I regretted for not continuing 9n Hive when I first created an account 3 years ago, by now I would have been a top user There is much potential on Hive no doubt, and for that, I am now more determine to push on no matter the hurdles I must need to scale to achieve success here.

Content like this gives energies. Thanks for sharing.

Quite possibly. A choice that might not have been to your benefit.

The thing that makes many new people discouraged and quit is the lack of support and encouragement from the community they choose to post their content.

How much do they get on YouTube or other platforms? People spend years on Wordpress blogs without much interactions.

Of course, I find that most get no interaction on Hive because they do not interact themselves.

Posted Using LeoFinance Alpha

Even on Web2, people don't think of themselves in business terms. Creators who approach content today on the legacy social media platforms, most of them, are treating it more like a hobby. If you treat it like a hobby, it will pay like a hobby. If you treat it like a business, it will pay like a business. Web3 makes the business side of content creation easier to manage with baked in financial tools.

Almost nobody makes any money off Web2. They are the product, something the shareholders enjoy the rewards from.

Hence, it is not crazy for them not to have that mindset. But web3 sees instant monetization with just a few comments.

Posted Using LeoFinance Alpha

I've been making money off Web2 for 17 years. And so have many others. In fact, most of the money made on the Web today is made through Web2 properties. That doesn't negate the benefits of Web3, but it isn't accurate to say no one is making money.

Global e-commerce is expected to reach $6.3 trillion in 2023. In the U.S. alone, it will be $1.1 trillion. Somebody's making money.

You mention that the education system churns out obedient robots, I absolutely agree that there are huge gaps in the education system regarding time management, investing, money management and so on - but the system we grow up in is totally fueled this way to keep us dumb and under foot. Talk about debt - the only way that you can get a home mortgage these days is if you have a good "credit record" repeating exactly what you said above - obedient robots. If you have never had a credit card and pay cash for most things, you are then considered a bad apple when in actual fact, you're probably far more economically sound than the vast majority.

I take Hive seriously enough. I enjoy writing and I write nonsense sometimes, but that's ok, sometimes life is full of nonsense, just look all around. I could write loads of posts on very controversial subjects but I know that I would ruffle a lot of feathers. It takes time to find your feet here and most people these days have the attention span of an aphid, so I'm not entirely surprised that so many join and leave. It's not entirely the ecosystem's fault, but what society has been training people to be. All consuming obedient idiots for the most part.

Without a doubt there is a larger backdrop as compared to what I focused upon. We have to keep in mind that, in my view, financial ignorance is on purpose.

That translates to Web3 since most dont have basic financial skills. Fortunately, it is available on here.

Posted Using LeoFinance Alpha

Good read. This can also be extended to pretty much anything in life. You could turn your skills to services for your customers and crafts to products out to market. This is what a business basically boils down to. Dedication fails nobody, and taking responsibility is the ultimate drive for your success on Hive.

The most important thing here is, though, is knowledge. On hive, you are an entrepreneur of knowledge. having deep connections to the most important figures in the community doesn't hold a candle to high-quality knowledge in the form of articles, and those sorta articles are hard to come by. You and Edicted are great dealers of this knowledge. Hopefully I will be too, once I find the time to invest into my business.

Certainly we have to keep in mind that Hive is no different than life. What skills are applicable there reside here.

For some reason, people think this is different.

Been at it a long time myself and I've actully invested a heavy amount for the first 2-3 years into the hive ecosystem. Constant connection with teams and people along with projects and supporting those I believe in. It's a combination of ALL of these things of hard work and dedication which many totally miss.

The compounding factors cannot be overlooked yet many do. The early days are a slog, scratching and clawing. Yet as the wallets start to fill, followers gain, and reputation established, it starts to flow easier.

Showing up when the bull season is here and disappearing when the bear season arrives are signs of not taking Hive seriously and as such the outcome speakers for itself compared to those that are on Hive grinding it out daily. It is not an easy grind but a grind that is a lot much worth it based on experience.

I respect you @joetunex. You show up no matter what the season. That is vital. So many allow the markets to dictate what they are doing.

Thanks for the helpful information. I used to create content on Hive a while ago, but I stopped because I faced a creative block. During this period of inactivity, I rediscovered the potential of this ecosystem and its community. I will try to use Hive more mindfully, and this article helped.

I find the block goes away when we post about things we are passionate about.

I totally agree with you that Hive is a business and people have to own up
to whatever the outcome maybe when they don’t run their business well rather than blaming it on the ecosystem.

The trend seems to be I want hundreds on my first few posts or this place is a scam.

I keep telling people once you are able to still write after a couple of 0.005Hive on your post without totally giving up on Hive then you have fallen in love with the platform.

Th is an excellent article! You covered it all. It gives people a better understanding of hive, a perhaps gain the perspective they need to treat Hive as a business!

I am a huge failure on hive as well; I guess this post will be helpful for me.

I have never viewed Hive as a business, But you just clarified that Hive it self is a business and not just Another social media, this is urge. and i thi think it sanks in pretty well

"Yet on Hive, we offer the potential to everyone. How come people are failing so miserably."

Because most don't get it--and presently I am one of those.

I am in HIVE and working at it because some part of me quietly, yet emphatically INSISTS that I get involved--without explaining why.

Maybe one day, while posting a comment, I'll have an epiphany.
