The point of doing the field research isn’t to impress upon people the need for marketing... but to impress upon them the need for a marketable Hive. If we work out a$$’s off to get 1 person to Hive we have already had conversations with at least 100 other people. An unfriendly Hive undermines and marginalizes all of our marketing efforts and wipes out our retention not to mention all the bad PR that comes out of it. This was my process and why I have turned my 100% attention back towards Hive. I was in the top 10 for Hive promotions for months... and it wasn’t until I realized that the goalie wasn’t in the net that I knew what I had to do if I cared at all as an owner.
Why I say that people need to try marketing Hive is not to market Hive (even though I think this is a good thing and very much needed) it’s more of an object lesson in rational realization.
We need everyone on the same page if this is going to work. This is what drives @Comet.Ranker forward.
I want a marketable Hive Blockchain and I want it ASAP! We don’t have much time and more bull market to waste.
The sooner we all realize this... the sooner we can get busy effectively selling Hive to the world.
I think that this shift in thinking can be fun and I think it’s going to happen and it’s going to happen in the comments not in the posts! Yes... we need posts. Yes we need marketing... but first we gotta get our minds right!
Hive will sell it’s self if we can do this.
I’m 100% sure of it... and that’s why as long as Hive is under $1... I’m a buyer. ☄️
Exactly, we need to focus on making Hive awesome from the inside. I do want to bring those people in, before the owner does what happened with Uptrennd. But I want to do it when they will see what's possible. But be aware that many of them literally have to use at least part of their earnings for food and basics. So some of them will add some sell pressure. But others are buyers, so maybe it balances out?
