Its been two weeks since I started promoting hive within my space and i must say I have not felt this good in a long time. I bring you my report for week two. This past week was quite eventful.

Achievements

Last week I had a goal of on boarding 1 new user a day and I was able to get 8 users on board and 3 of them are active. I was also able to continue my twitter promotion. I joined the hive marketing discord group. @roomservice was able to solve a major problem I was having with delay in verification codes from my
country. He was able to give me a list of referral codes to by pass the whole process of waiting for verification codes and battling with passwords.

My New active members

I was able to get four active members on #hive. They are

1. @cornel20

He is a medical student who works for the Nigerian centre for disease control. He is a sports man and a corona virus warrior. He is the most active of all the newbies I have brought to this platform. He has made over 100 comments and has gotten some followers.
You can read his introductory post [here]

@soroleen1
@soroleen1 is a cook who specializes in discovering new recipes. He is a medical student in his fifth year in the University of Port Harcourt.

@belema

Challenges

The first challenge I had was with delay with verification codes and wrong passwords after creating accounts. This challenge has been solved as I said earlier.

The second challenge I have is making this new users stay on the platform. I literally have to call some of them on phone to encour age them because starting anything new is hard and hive is actually difficult to start.

The next challenge is mentoring. It is difficult to carry all of them along. I actually have to message moderators on discord to ask them what it entails for a post to be regarded as quality content in different types of write up.

Plans for the week

I intend to halt the process of recruiting new users and focus on the old recruits.
I also intend on giving them task on what to do and getting them addicted to the platform. I have started with a few and they are doing fine.

I intend on rewarding them with some basic rewards like subscribing dustsweeper for those who meet the task.

I intend on creating a Whatsapp group(as this is what most people know how to use) before transitioning them on to discord.

Shout out

I can't end this post without appreciating those who have encouraged the newbies on this platform so far with theor upvotes and encouraging comments.

@steevc is one of the men I am immensely grateful for. He has supported every new user I have brought to this platform. I can't ask for more . My words fail me.

@joetunex is another person that is always willing to leave a comment and upvote anytime I draw his attention to them. Thank you for all you do for the community

@traciyork is just everything. She comes in when you tag. She goes as far as tipping some of them. I am immensely grateful for the thing you do for this community.

I can't write this list without calling @nathanmars. He does everything concerning promotion of hive. He retweets everything that has #hive on it. He is a person that constantly motivates me to do what i do for this community.

Big shout out to @josediccus. I owe you a visit some time this year .. You have been wonderful from supporting my post to encouraging newbies to dropping motivating content.

@mistakili .. You are simply amazing. You go to their post and engage them.. Crack jokes and even make them feel comfortable on their arrival.

@chekohler has been sending tips silently to some of the newbies. I came across it when i was checking a newbies wallet. Thank you so much.

I also want to appreciate @roomservice for trusting me with the codes and setting upI the website in such a way that one can use verification codes. He did it on request.
I appreciate every other person that is not on this list that has done their fair share in promoting hive. Thank you so much for the support.

What can you do to support the newbies?

You can support the newbies by engaging on their post. If it is not quality enough, suggest how they can make it better.

Go to the #introduceyourself tag and vote and comment on their post. The first impression about a community is what determines if people will stay or leave.

If you are a moderator, search for quality content from newbies and if you see a newbie doing something wrong, you could correct them by leaving a comment.

I will like to end with a quote from @joetunex
