The Countdown Has Begun
A lot is going on behind the scenes as we countdown to the 14th Annual National Podcast Post Month, which will be the first time #NaPodPoMo has ever been on Hive...or any blockchain for that matter.
Onboarding Challenge
Let's start with the fact there are a lot of processes that need to be developed to bring podcasters who participate in the 30-day podcasting challenge over to Hive. There is also messaging that needs to be worked out so that podcasters don't run the other way screaming when I use words like blockchain, upvotes, curation, HP, HBD, Value4Value, Podcasting 2.0, Streaming SATS, Resource Credits, etc... We all know there is a bit of a steep learning curve to getting started so I aim to make this process for podcasters as easy as possible.
Inspired by
Thanks to Twitter Spaces, I was introduced to Lucas Bean who has an NFT 101 course. My youngest son and I took the course together sitting in our living room watching each lesson on the tv. Each lesson was short and informative. By the end of the 11 lessons, we both had a much clearer understanding of the NFT space. It was like a breath of fresh air to have clarity around something everyone was talking about, but for us had been confusing to understand. This simplifying the complicated approach that Lucas Bean and fellow instructor, Amy Stroud took in NFT 101 is exactly the approach I will take with Hive 101 for NaPodPoMo.
Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy...right?
The goal of this next onboarding phase that I, as the founder of NaPodPoMo, am embarking on is creating the Hive 101 for NaPodPoMo course. I am in the process of planning out each lesson. Brevity and simplicity being key to what I believe will make this a success. Each lesson must not only be easy to understand but also encourage podcasters to take action. And that is the key. Podcasters must feel comfortable enough with what they have learned to take action.
Will It Blend?
As a 16-year podcast veteran, I know for a fact podcasters are an early-adopter bunch who like to push the envelope for what's possible. So, will it blend? I feel confident it will with the right mix of information and community support.
