How To #ThriveOnHive & Win 100 HIVE Tokens

in #thriveonhive4 years ago


It's time to have a little bit of fun :)

So we've seen plenty of awesome news when it comes to the launch of the HIVE blockchain! From being listed on some amazing exchanges to the back end development that's taking place, we're headed in the right direction...

Something that's very important for me is to talk to the 'everyday user' when it comes to this blockchain. You see, part of the draw of our previous home was that people could actually use this stuff. Sure it had all the technical ability in the world and was fantastic to develop on...But what drew people to the previous chain was that...You could plug into a community and actually use this stuff.

The learning curve was steep at times, but a lot easier to tell someone....Here's your account, go and meet some awesome people and use the applications!

I wrote about this 5-500-5000 formula back when I began my journey on the previous blockchain and it's a path to success I think anyone can follow...

5 Engagements A Day

This seems so 'simple' but yet so few actually embrace it. Remember, plugging into a community isn't just a one way street...You need to add value to others and that's where the '5 A Day' technique shines. When you are out there, upvoting others, responding to their comments, creating amazing discussions...You are in fact, creating HUGE value for this blockchain. So the start of this path to success is simple and straightforward - Get out there and engage and interact with 5 HIVE community members every single day!

500 Followers

When you engage and add value to other peoples journey, guess what you attract...More followers. And regardless of how much of a vanity metric this may seem to some, I believe having a healthy group of people that follow you in a win! The more followers you attract, the more people want to share and interact with your content here on HIVE. Remember, other blockchains have plenty of 'bot' activity, HIVE is real people and a real community. The more people that get to know, like and trust you...The more rewards you could potential get and value you will add to HIVE!

5000 HIVE Power

And here's the big kahuna! On our last blockchain, this would mean you had reached 'Dolphin status'. I'm not sure what we are calling these different levels here but it's a fantastic milestone to shoot for. Write down a date you wish to accomplish it and work towards it! Again, I might be beating a dead horse here but the more people, know, like and trust you...The more rewards you may receive. When you hit a certain level of HIVE power, people will notice. And like attracts like, so they will wanna see what you are doing and follow your journey. Maybe not EVERY HIVE member will, but I know it peaks my interest when I see people crushing it on their journey on the blockchain!

You combine it all, and you have a steady and VERY attainable path to success here on HIVE.

Remember...Value first! When you add value to others here, you will benefit. So don't start your HIVE journey asking yourself what can I get out of this...Ask yourself how can I add value to the blockchain so that we all get something out of this! We're at the beginning of this amazing adventure together, and I think when we follow this path of 5-500-5000, we will 'thrive on HIVE' for years to come.

And here's the challenge....

We're going to do a little contest!

I'll be giving away 100 HIVE to one lucky HIVE member that does the following:

  1. Reblogs this post!

  2. Adds a comment below with how they will 'Thrive On Hive' over the next few months!

Bonus points (but not required to enter): Adding the hashtag #ThriveOnHive in comments and social media is awesome and saves unicorns :)

This is just a fun little contest I thought of doing at 1:15am...I'll pick a winner from the best comments and send them the HIVE at the end of the week (Friday)....

Let's get the message out there...It's time to #ThriveOnHive






Posted from my blog with SteemPress : http://plus1daily.com/how-to-thriveonhive-win-100-hive-tokens/

Sort:  

On the other blockchain I felt a bit like an outsider. I would read so many posts each day, but I didn't feel confident commenting... so I would lurk a lot and engage rarely unless it was on my own posts, my safe haven. I tried to undertake comment-and-curation initiatives but a lot of the time it was awkward for me to put into words what I liked about a post or just simply join in the conversation.

Somehow I managed to make a few friends! 😆

Anyway. On Hive, that's changing! I've already made the change as of Day #1. Comment, comment, comment. 😁 Force the shyness out and emerge into a full-fledged... BEE! 🐝

#ThriveOnHive

Hive ho!

That's awesome. Yeah I have found this community in large to be very engaging and supportive of each other. It really helps us when we are stepping out of our comfort zone :)

provide good content to the page and if the economy helps me, help with the cures since I have 300HP and keep going up but in neoxian I have power 6300 neox

#ThriveOnHive

Here's hoping those tribes make the move over here :)

Not the chain though. All Steem Engine tokens are still on STEEM.

But the move is coming hopefully. lol Hopefully.

My commitment on Hive is to post daily. Like you mentioned, posting daily also means engaging daily as well.

For this month, the focus will be on quantity (daily posts), from April on, I want to #ThriveOnHive by publishing authentic Social Media related content. Not really news or tips and tricks, but stories.

Thanks for the reminder to engage @jongolson :)

Absolutely man, thanks for the comments. Yeah it's such a huge part of crushing it on these kind of social media sites...Engagement really helps build the relationships.

Yeah I know. But we get lazy sometimes. Upvote-upvote-upvote no comment. Happens on al social media sites I guess 😅

Ho man, nice. I didn't want to just comment with my #ThriveOnHive strategy so I created a post to support it. I wanted to share what I'm doing and hopefully help out others along the way.

In many ways, as others are finding out, we need to build up a bit again. I know I relied on a lot of tools and systems to help with my engagement on Steem. Many of those don't exist here on HIVE. However there is one that came over immediately and I'm sharing how to use it in my How I intend to thrive on Hive! post. Hope other's find the post helpful.

HIVE ON! Bro!

Awesome man, I'll go check that out now...But yeah I think the tools and apps will slowly make their way over here. Wont happen right away but this a solid foundation for them to set up shop on.

Agree. Seems cleaner... and getting a good vibe almost like a few years ago on Steem. Going to be an interesting year, that's for sure. Let's keep it going!

As always you offer great guidance. I do my best to follow but at the moment I feel like I am barely treading water. I hope Hive training is available in CTP soon because I really need it. My the Hive Cliff Notes for now. Thanks for all you do.

#ThriveonHive

For sure, that's actually my plan this week to re-do all the lessons inside of CTP to focus on HIVE :)

Reblogged and I will thrive on Hive by actually doing what the main thing is on this Blockchain. Adding value through writing good content in personal posts. Rather than mostly using actifit and engaging here and there, but not taking the time to collect my thoughts for a full post.

Urgh I need to get my butt in gear with ActiFit....Really havent focused on it but it's such an awesome app and I need to use it more for sure lol

Now with the corona stuff going on, it gets a bit harder to exercise.

I'm still working out how I'm going to do things, but I would like to continue my Momma of All Trades series and slowly coming to this side!
But one thing is certain..I'll keep creating and engaging :)

What is cool, you have the followers that follow you on your journey!

Agreed! People that you may not have engaged with on other platforms...But as we're in this together, we kinda form the relationships which is awesome.

I believe this platform has a good chance to make a good impact.

Proven concept ==> 5 - 500 - 5000 :)

It works man...I am the guinea pig to prove it LOL

Useful advice, I will try to stick to it and see if it works for me. I will be aiming for 1500 followers and 5000 HP until the end of 2020. I would have to make 6,5 HIVE every day until the end of the year which isn't that easy but I'm probably going to buy some more after I'm done selling most of my steem.
Thank you for the tips #ThriveOnHive

Yeah I mean I hope SteemitBoard comes over here because that tool was so important for me. I tracked all my engagement and saw my numbers go up steadily. But yeah, I had to buy a bit too :)

The work I did on the other Blockchain already led me to achieving some of the goals you mention. I think I only need more real or active followers but I'm on my way to #thriveonhive.

...I think I only need more real or active followers...

Yes, same here. I have over 500 followers but a lot of them are bot accounts from the days where you'd write a post and suddenly 30-40 random accounts would follow you in quick succession.

Not very organic. 😅

That'll come with time I think...Even in the centralized world, most accounts that follow you will end up being bot accounts...I have like 10,000 Twitter followers and I'd say 95% of them are bot accounts LOL

Oooh, that's quite a chunk! Haha.

I'm not quite up to bot-territory in the Twitter-lands yet; I need to get out more. 😂

Bam! Awesome to hear that :) That's the key right, getting followers in one thing....Keeping them engaging and active is another..

Great program and perfect timing as everything helps get more to show quality creators to move to Hive. Aloha from Hawaii Rich

I think this is the calm before the storm...More people and creators will start showing up the longer we grow here...It's exciting for sure :)

Yey I'm having trouble reading posts on mobile as my fave Partiko doesn't work anymore. Couldn't reblog with eSteem so I had to wait till I get online. LOL! Anyway, I plan to keep showing up daily as before, keep staking my CTP tokens till we find a new home, and keep powering up so that I will get to the 5K HP target soon. It will take a while, but it's good to have a goal in mind. More power to all! #thriveonhive

I think eSteem is rebranding their app today? But they are a much needed resource for sure....Sad about Partiko, but maybe they'll get fired back up and show up again....? lol

Finally some clear numbers, I think you'll be wrong in my case - cause I was never serving the mainstream - but let's find out and #ThriveOnHive engagement5

Yeah HIVE is a pretty niche audience right now...But we'll see where it goes :)

Lord of darkness is reading and interacting with 5 per day anyway, now putting it into numbers is a very nice effort

#ThriOnHive
I am already doing it!By sharing the kind of content i always had a passion for. Travel ! By telling all my blogger & blogee friends about Hive and how to #ThriveOnHive

Awesome!!! I think if we all do our part like that, HIVE will thrive for sure :)

I've done the 500 & 5000 parts, but I'm trying to re-do the 500 part on twitter now:

Dang, I'm pretty sure I'm following you...If not, my bad I'll follow right now!

I believe Hive is going to be a best case scenario of community engagement, after what happened on Steem the community has had jack of all the politics and is hanging out for a place to gather and just Bee. :)

Thriving on Hive will not be a problem as I for one will be posting daily if not twice a day and I will be engaging with as many Hivians as possible as a way of demonstrating community solidarity.
One of the posts I do encourages people to Thrive on Hive and I am about to embark on a Hive project that will see many engage with each other on a daily basis :) #ThriveOnHive

That's the ticket man...Just keep creating and engaging...Let the chips fall where they may. I'm more interested in the community than the drama :)

#ThriveOnHive, awesome initiative and tips Jon, keep up your great work.

Yessir....No stopping now! Hive On!!!

Yes the Hive blockchain is awesome @jongolson, it's decentralized and owned by the community, and your 5-500-5000 is a really grest formula to succeed here, and nice initiative with #ThriveOnHive, keep up your great work, it's awesome.

Thanks man, appreciate it!

Thanks @jongolson, and keep up your awesome work.

I will thrive on hive with my daily Actifit post. I try to add value to my post by writing a poem about my activity or something that happened during my day. It is my creative spin to make the post a little more interesting.

awesome. yeh i really need to get back into actifit lol i’ve been the worst when it comes to staying motivated.

It was suspicious that this post has over 60 comments, so I had to take a peek... :)

The next few months will be very hard because of the virus, the economy and whole this mess around us... But... We have a new blockchain, without obstacles from the past, with a bunch of time locked in our home...

What we can do? #ThriveOnHive by bringing value to the new chain by creating, engaging with others... and prepare ourselves for the future! We have a huuuuge headstart... Use it!

LOL I love the engagement man....I used to do these contests back a few years ago when I started on STEEM....Thought it would be a good idea to bing more eye balls to CTP and my accounts too :)

oh yah, forgot about the 5-500-5000 rule..

now might be the time to revitalize it for myself!

thanks for the reminder!!

It works...I'm no one on this blockchain lol But because I'm stubborn and keep showing up, I'm actually attracting followers lol Go figure lol

Wow! Good morning @jongolson and all hiveians! I would like to say my gratitude to all those behind the success of this new chain HIVE and for your early challenge. It will make this place the best #thriveOnhive is the word exactly fitted for winning this community. Thank you for the 5-500-5000 formula. I need to #thrive for this and keep it in my mind. You did a good things from the other world and I hope you will be doing it here the most. We are here for our support. God bless #hiveman!

thanks for the comments and so glad you found the 5-500-5000 formula useful.

The best way, in my opinion to add value - is to produce and engage with content that is content, not content that is about the platform.

I find myself saying this more and more these days, I don't go on reddit to read about how great reddit is. I go there for content on topics that interest me. My focus it to let others thrive by supporting content such as that.

I think it'll calm down in a bit...Meaning everyone is excited to talk about HIVE lol but I know what you mean...On the older blockchain, it became the same old same old. We need fresh content for sure :)

Sometimes we forget the basics and a gentle reminder is required. I spent 2018 posting brief insights into my travels, and whilst they were hopefully interesting, I suspect they were not particularly insightful.

I was posting in a style that mirrored others, and ignoring what I really needed to do. What I'd wanted to do was to go beyond the instagram picture postcards, and delve deeper into the live's of those I'd been passing through as I travelled. But I simply didn't have the balls to go against what I'd perceived to be the norms on the platform.

HIVE is a new beginning, and I intend to start exactly where I didn't leave off. Long-form chapters of my journey, a book of books diving deep into the lives of those who've shaped my life since setting out to ride the world 12 years ago.

Thanks for the motivation to do what I've wasted too many years avoiding ...... Geoff

That's awesome man! So glad to hear that HIVE is firing you up!

I think that's what attracts me too...We can 'do our own thing' here and it's celebrated and we don't need any approval. I think journeys like yours can really flourish here!

Thanks Jon, much appreciated.

Hive is my primary social site: Twitter is the feeder I use to bring people here for solid content. I'm going to take a decision soon as to whether I really need a self hosted Wordpress site as well.... the hassle of keeping that going doesn't seem to be worth it.

#ThriveOnHive

It's pretty awesome right? Using all those kind of platforms to bring people here. As for a self hosted blog, it's getting less and less nedded these days with all the amazing features that I'm sure will come to HIVE...

That being said, I love SteemPress especially now that they post directly here!!

Thanks for the comments man, so much appreciated!

Having just watched Steem transfer to Hive and the huge efforts of all involved, I'm feeling that the community behind Hive is more likely to keep my posts alive than I am able to for a lot further into the future than all the various hosting accounts and subscriptions it takes to keep the lights on at brianoflondon.me.

Well now that I am over 1,000 hive power I will be up voting and commenting more, along with my sports posts once we have sports again, hockey and baseball as well as posting on dblog with my photo's and that is how I will #thriveonhive

I think the sports market is RIPE here on HIVE....You could position yourself perfectly man....Even if your choice of hockey teams is horrible ;)

Time will tell if I #ThriveOnHive
Having just mastered surviving on Steem it is time to re-evaluate.
For the present moment I am back to my fence.

Hi Jon,
I am going to #ThriveOnHive over the next few months by showing up every day and adding as much value as possible to other people's journeys. This is a great way to stay connected and like you keep saying "social media is fun and saves unicorns." I've been learning so much since I've reconnected with ClickTrackProft. Thanks for all you do to support us.
