I have had similar issues in getting friends and family to stick it here. It's sorta funny that when you mention the plus sides of engaging here you will get interest. But once it becomes something that requires understanding a new form of ease of access then they go straight off it. Once one understands it all it is rather easy. But hose few extra key strokes sometimes seem like a bridge to far for those who are accustomed to easy sign up, log in, and content submission formats. A shame. Well at least you got him to dip a toe in so that's a plus. Out of the dozens I've introduced to this space only one (my cousin) still posts on here from time to time. You never know, your friend may circle back when spare time and a more valuable hive token meet at the same place and time.
