I was just saying this to my friends. I have been on boarding new users on the hive blockchain and atleast i have brought in 12 users in the last two weeks. Out of the twelve, only five of them are active. As a matter of fact , i jad to meet one of the discouraged one's and i asked him why he stopped. He said his post were not getting attention and he was discouraged. I asked another person and she said the site is quite hard to navigate.So i started following the new ones up and i had to even chat up one of the moderators to help see the problem and why a quality post is not getting curated.
Finally, i think on boarding people is not the problem, following them up so they can finally addicted to hive is the goal. As a matter of fact i started giving some of my newbies task such as commenting.
This is what i do everyday to keep them woeking. I had to go to this guy to get him back on board because he is a good content writer. Luckily for me the post had an up vote from curie.
I also help them format their post , that's what is on the whatsapp picture.
Mentoring is needed on this platform and there should be a nice way if welcoming newbies. If a person is going to get comfortable with athe place, he needs to know he is welcomed.
I want to specially thank you for upvoting most of the people i have brought on this platform in the past one week. You have been a motivation. I would keep on bringing people and trying to follow them up hoping they receive a nice welcome.
