Seven days ago, I wrote a post that got quite a bit of love on chain.
And I think it's because a lot of people here understand how impactful gamification can be when it comes to keeping the attrition rates low on this blockchain.
One of the ways we can gamify things, which is pretty much as straight forward as can be, is stats.
Giving people access to visuals when it comes to their journey on chain can drive engagement and more importantly, keep people coming back.
And last night on Twitter (I'll never call is X) I had a great back and forth with @forkyishere about said stats that can be seen now on
@snapie
And these are something that I am going to 'gamify' myself, and that's because they will keep me on target more than before!
But there's so much more here to dive into, so let's see the 'Tweet'...
I can see what Forky is trying to promote on Twitter. Because getting monetized on Twitter is pretty difficult.
In fact, not only is it an uphill battle unless you are showing your skin or have millions of followers....They can de-platform you in a second.
This is nothing new to the 'marketing angle' here on Hive. We've been screaming about this for years here but no one seems to care....
But this angle is different.
To me, this is something powerful because if you look at my humble stats, I'm generating $122 bucks a month on chain.
And remember, this is $122 a month....When Hive is just under 4 cents....
Imagine what this would be when it gets back to respectability!
And I know, there are no promises in this, so I really don't lose too much sleep over the price of it. But I have stats now that I can easily watch how I'm doing daily, weekly and monthly right from within Snapie.
Tools like that help people set up goals and target levels they want to reach. And then we are in competition with ourselves and how well we performed this week, last week etc...
Target more replies!
Attract more followers!
See if you can get mentioned more!
And monitor how many people are reblogging your content!
These are all metrics that matter for your day to day experience here on chain. And while we focus on this, and less on the price of stuff, we grow our accounts and the blockchain as a whole.
This is why gamification is so important, and imagine if some savvy front ends started to really go to town with this stuff...
Unlock more features if you reach a certain milestone of votes...Or unlock special areas of the app when you hit a certain number of replies....
The possibility for this is endless, and it makes the blockchain that much more exciting and a reason for people to stick around even with the lower prices.
So for now...I see what I did last month, I have screen shot it, and written down the targets I wish to reach going forward. With these metrics in Snapie, I can monitor my progress with ease.
