REAL Engagement on HIVE .:. Late Night Blogging (Almost Not a Rant 😃)

avatar

In the beginning, I would like to mention two main reasons for creating this post... Firstly, I was inspired to do it by the post from @ablaze, where he shared his thoughts and the "secret" how he reached 11K HivePower...

Secondly, I have deliberately created this post in the Hive Learners community as it could serve newbies to avoid some common mistakes... And also, to help them understand HIVE better and grow faster on this great platform!


REAL Engagement on HIVE.jpg

The topic is engagement... You have probably heard many times people writing posts about it, giving some tips on how you should do it, how many comments you should leave every day, etc... Where you should comment as you could get some "free" upvotes for doing it, how to stalk whales, who is the most generous... Wait, what??! 😃 Yes, you heard me right... I know many people who are doing exactly that... Having a list of people where to comment just to receive the upvote... Same as delegating your HivePower to some account just because you EXPECT to receive an upvote as a favor...

Let's stay just a second on that... Do you think that people who gave up on their freedom, or gave up their power to others, are those who succeed in the long run? Is that the "healthy" way to build a foundation for your social media account? To leave the work to someone else and you would just take the profits? Don't get me wrong... You CAN earn crypto by doing that, but you can't grow your social media reach, your influence, your leadership, your followers, etc... It depends what is your main focus... Quick buck or long-term success?

Back to the topic... Engagement... When I came to HIVE (the legacy chain), I did receive a similar suggestion as I mentioned... It was something like this: "Create at least 1 post per day, leave at least 5 comments per day (to different people) and you will see results in X days..." While that's not a bad recommendation, it is lacking more details... especially for the people who like to literally do what is told to them... As I am obviously not in that category (I couldn't even follow those simple rules, 1 post, 5 comments 😃), after some time, I have done things differently...

I didn't leave comments in the way you can see on the thumbnail for this post... I did fewer comments per day, but I would leave the comment only if I have read/watched the whole post and if I had some value to add to it... After a while (and still do), I got some feedback from people who were pleasantly surprised that I read their posts and left meaningful comments!

Wait... But nobody said that you have to leave a MEANINGFUL COMMENT to a post?! Indeed, nobody said that, but it was something natural that everyone should do it... Why not? I read something great, and I want to show my appreciation to the author... and not just that... The author helped me to learn something new, I OWE him a favor! If I could just help him too, it would be great... Wait, I can! I can leave a meaningful comment...


Liotes Divider Blue.png

Something exactly like that happened on the @ablaze's post... I read his great post and left a simple comment...

MyComment.png

...in return, I received a reply that confirms all that I wrote above in this post... Check it out by yourself...

Ablaze-comment.png

What's the most interesting about all this is that I had an idea about creating this post BEFORE he wrote that, and his reply came later on as a great example that IT WORKS to be appreciative!

While I was checking some posts on HIVE I bumped on this comment...

Comment02.png

I would understand if this comment came from a newbie, but the person who wrote this is 2 years on the platform... After a short check of the account, I saw that this member delegated all its HivePower to different curators who automatically upvote posts... Zero manual curation by the member, and almost no engagement on other people's posts... Well, with that kind of attitude, it is IMPOSSIBLE to grow your account... This is a social media network, ENGAGEMENT is the KEY!

Btw., I did the same when I start on this platform... I was chasing whale upvotes, delegating my HP for attention, trying to "get rich quick", and of course, I failed in that... Until I changed my way of thinking and invested my time in people, not in curators, whales, etc, but in people that were building and struggling like me...

Just one thing more... HIVE is a social media network, but it goes beyond that... You don't have to create content on HIVE to get some tokens, you can do that in different ways too... You can provide liquidity in diesel pools and get rewarded, you can play games built on HIVE, you can just curate posts, etc... In the end, you can do ALL that and boost your growth!

In the end, I would just repeat the words by @ablaze... If I can do it, you can do it too!

I hope this post will help someone...

Thank you for your time,

~ph~

I have not follow the 1 posts per Day and 5 comments rule but I know that...

Engagment it is something very important because it is the only way to interact with our hivers.

I saw some great engament where People is debating and have a good discussion about a topic.

When I have some really free time where I can use I try to engage with other persons

That's the real deal! I like to debate with people in the comment section and the best debates are those where we have different views and opinions... Then we learn a lot!

I know that some of the people come to the comment section just for getting an upvote, but I'm creating these posts for the other ones... Those who are stepping out, sharing THEIR point of view, expressing themselves... That's the whole point of a decentralized social media network... to freely express yourself!

90% of people only comes to comments saying good post or great post just to try to receive an upvote.

However, these users will not be to long on hive since they will be frustated about earnings since that is the only goal for them and without a true engage People will not upvote them

I will partially agree with you on this... Yes, most people will quit as creating those comments have no sense and earnings are low... But, unfortunately, some will create more accounts, trying to trick the system, farm rewards, etc... Luckily, that doesn't last too long either, but I have noticed some accounts doing that for years...

My advice for any user of a social media platform is to be Social... Hive is no different.

I too read the post once a day, and make five comments to different authors. Of course I don't do things by halves so read and engaged like a madman, made loads of (in my eyes) meaningful comments of several sentences and often got nothing in response lol

In short I burnt myself out, and for not a lot in return.

Now I often read a post, and vote and that is it. In life I can digest many things, but if I feel I have nothing to add which creates value, then I keep my gob shut.

One thing I have learnt is that much of Hive engagement is done off Hive!

My advice for any user of a social media platform is to be Social... Hive is no different.

That's a piece of awesome advice... It looks like a "normal" statement, but people DO act differently on HIVE than on ordinary social media... The monetary aspect changes the perspective and "takes the show" from being authentic and social! It sounds crazy, but I saw that (too) many times here... As a matter of fact, exactly that pushes me to create more content like this, to remind people to be "normal" 😃

made loads of (in my eyes) meaningful comments of several sentences and often got nothing in response lol

Yeah, that could be frustrating... When that happens to me, I just remind myself about that part from the Bible... "Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake the dust off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them." Not everyone is like that and we should just move on and find people that "are social" 😃

One thing I have learnt is that much of Hive engagement is done off Hive!

That's true! When I met some of these great Hivians in the real life, that was the real deal... But, Discord chats or voice meetups can do the "thing" too... 😃

Well said @ph1102 😎
Great advice for the newbies.
I like the… post a comment but make it meaningful. Show you read the post and have real interest in the post and the author.
I see so many newbies just saying “great photos” or “wow” or just a token and nothing else… there is no connection at all. It doesn’t have to be difficult 😉 if only they would understand.

That’s what I do actually. Truly Connect with people… have conversations that just continue and continue… go on for weeks, not just a comment and reply… 🤓 and then nothing.
That way one gets to know people better and build a friendship. I love it. Like a little on-line family.
It’s here, one just has to put in the work… all for the long run.
Hive isn’t for the short time, like most think.

I had read his (my West Coast Neighbour’s) post too and commented. I see why he inspired you.
Have a great evening 👋🏻😊

I suppose that people do those short comments as they try to make as many as possible comments... They don't care about the content or the author, it's just chasing the numbers, upvotes, or some leaderboard top position... not sure... Don't know what else could be a valid reason for doing that...

That way one gets to know people better and build a friendship. I love it. Like a little on-line family.

I understood that when I went to Amsterdam HiveFest... I didn't know anyone there from before (in real life), and those that I knew, I wasn't that connected on HIVE either... But the bonds that were made, lasted beyond the event... Online family, became an offline family too! 😃

I had read his (my West Coast Neighbour’s) post too and commented. I see why he inspired you.

Wooohoo! Great that you did that! He deserves it!

PS. I was checking some flights from Europe to LA, and it looks like all roads lead to Dublin... lol... Maybe I will add Ireland to my itinerary... If I convince my wife to let me go... 😂

Have an awesome night!

Oh I can’t wait to attend a hive fest and see what happens. Truly meet some people irl and not just talk to behind a screen.

He sure does 😎

Really, all travels lead through Dublin. That’s awesome…
Maybe if you ask pretty please 🥺
Would be cool for you to explore a bit from Ireland.
It is large though so keep that in mind. And there is soooo much to see.

Thanks a lot, it was a great evening and a very productive day so far. Hope yours too.
Have a lovely Friday, almost weekend 😉

It is very true about engagement and building relationships, but if you delegate all of your Hive Power to others, then you would not be building very much at all. As with engagement, I would also say to make good effort on your posts, with your own photos and personalise your content as this stands out and is much more consumable. I want to upvote your content, but please meet me halfway!

You can accumulate more tokens, that's true... But you can't build a social media account on HIVE like that... I know that what @tengolotodo said is that HIVE is a social network and you should be social like anywhere else... But it has that specific, monetary aspect... I wouldn't say that it's bad (but it can look sometimes like it is) but rather is an additional way that you can support your friends and their content here... This aligns with your last sentence from the comment!

This is very true, if you also do not grow your Hive power with your peers, then it becomes quickly just a 1-way relationship, and that doesn't usually last very long.

Well I write few posts, give few comments (mainly on your posts lately :)) and still have decent growth (gaming, trading, and of course writing content at least from time to time)
There are various ways..what works for me , might not for the other and vice versa, but in a same time many things that will work for you, will work for me too and other way around.
Sharing perspectives, information, experiences...personal and group communication and education is essential.

I would say that you have undervalued your "off-chain" work that helps you to build your "on-chain" appearance... 🙂 As I can say that I know you online and offline (Okay not like for the whole life... hehehe), I know how much time you have invested to build your connections and collaborations in the (Hive) music world... All that helps in your growth on the chain... I will mention again @tengolotodo's (sorry man... 😃) comment on this post where he said that a lot of "engagement is done off Hive!"

The way I have been working on it for six months now is through communication one can succeed at it and the best thing is that whenever one's heart desires. A person shares his stuff with his friends with his community.

I haven't been as active with my curation as I had been, I tend to get some reading done at night before going to sleep, but I 100% agree, meaningful engagement is the key to not only growing your own presence, but also maintaining a healthy Hive and encouraging others to continue their efforts.

I went a bit wild delegating but took most of the delegations back within a few weeks, because I want my own vote to grow.

A few months ago, I wouldn't have thought that it would be possible for my stake to grow so much month to month, but currently I'm increasing at about 200-300HP a month from posting and curation, which is crazy to me. It's mainly due to the price of Hive atm I think, but I've been posting daily too which has been the main cause of the growth.

I don't really know what advice I'd have for new people; I suppose one thing I would tell people is to keep their Hive powered up, and explore the communities and find some places you love being. I'm not great when it comes to finance so if I was trying to read and talk to people in the Leo community I wouldn't find much to say, but if I read a story, film/ game review, or anything to do with star wars I could talk all day haha

I 100% agree, meaningful engagement is the key to not only growing your own presence, but also maintaining a healthy Hive and encouraging others to continue their efforts.

You are right, meaningful comments are huge encouragement for others to continue creating great stuff... Without knowing that someone is reading your content is hard to continue, and push through the hard times that everyone experiences here!

It's mainly due to the price of Hive atm I think, but I've been posting daily too which has been the main cause of the growth.

It is probably the combination of many things... I think that people undervalue the power of commenting... Every comment that we leave on others' posts is a long-term investment... Who knows who will read that comment, maybe some of the authors' followers will appreciate it and come to your blog... We never know... The exposure that you get on your comments is very often completely different than on your own posts... Different audience, new audience... the one that could grow your account too!

So many good thoughts and advices in your post! And yes you're absolutely right with it. Thanks a lot.
But... I guess the problem for people is the fact, that hive is not not only a social platform. The monetary aspect is quite big. And that's why people struggle. It often seems to be kind of unfair if you compare some undervalued really good posts with some posts containing some words and a lousy picture but getting huge upvotes.
I try to separate the social and the monetary aspect for me. Since I'm doing that it feels better for me.
Have a nice day

I don't want to sugar-coat things on HIVE... It has issues, there are unfair things happening... It isn't fully decentralized, but even if it would be, there will be unfair things... I suppose that's something that would happen either way... I see it every day, I was frustrated by that for a long time, but lately, I don't want to lose my precious time on that...

I guess the problem for people is the fact, that hive is not not only a social platform. The monetary aspect is quite big. And that's why people struggle.

It is different because of the monetary aspect, but maybe we shouldn't worry about that too much... I mean, if you view HIVE as an "ordinary" social network and focus on content and engagement, the monetary aspect (income) will come... I wouldn't separate these things...

Consistency is key and I agree that actively engaging people is different. People tend to underrate it but it's the way to get on people's radar. Before I started engaging in hive, my journey was full of strife. I even considered giving up before I saw the advice from taskmaster. If someone made 1,000 meaningful comments and got nothing out of it, I think it would be pretty weird. I just don't think that is going to happen because people here want engagement.

Agree! There is no way to not receive any feedback or results after leaving so many meaningful comments... On the other side, if you leave 1000 "Thanks" comments, you will probably have 0 results...
I don't know... For me, that's just a normal view of people... Appreciating others' effort, trying to add value, and share your personal view... There is no philosophy about it, no secrets or such... Just a normal human-to-human conversation...

Same here 😂. I delegated all of my HP only before. After seeing that isn't worth it, I tried many things like checking the result of delegations, checking the result of manual curation, checking the result of posting, and also looking out for more opportunities.

As you said, "ENGAGEMENT is the KEY!". That's true. Information gathering becomes simple with engagement. We don't even need to ask and people are sharing so much information. We just need to read and engage every interesting post.

In the beginning, I did that too... Measuring and calculating every single HIVE that I have received, converted, invested... But, some things are not measurable and engagement is definitely one of them... It is like a long-term investment in your social profile, but being unmeasurable makes it invisible... and very often, it is undervalued!

So obvious... and yet people still think they can succeed by not interacting with anyone.

Everything is social on Hive, not just the blogging part. For games, there are discussions between players (and the devs), and we have teams and teamwork, in many cases.

One can say, devs can do their work and not talk to anyone. But that's not the case. They often need to cooperate with each other or talk with the users of their apps. Or with the owners that hire them.

Witnesses... While it wouldn't hurt if they present more often to the community what their plans are, what they are working on, and what are their positions toward important issues, they still communicate, at least with each other. But I think communication with the community should be improved (especially from top witnesses).

People tend to overcomplicate things... Hive is different as it has that monetary aspect, but in a nutshell, it is a social network like any other... The monetary aspect is a bonus, but it's not a must...
I know that we have problems with HIVE, and people are pissed off when they don't get appreciated as they think they should be... But, in the end, your content is out there, what you wanted to say is still available for people to see, even if you are downvoted to oblivion... The base level of a social network is there...

And regarding communication, I agree that we should have more discussions about HIVE and where we are going with witnesses and developers... Engage more with them... :)

Exactly. It's as true in real life as in Hive. Engagement and meaningful and helpful conversation is so important.

Our community on hive is quite unusual insofar as it is almost always positive and kind and helpful in nature compared to other areas of social media.. Not making anyone in particular.. cough Twitter!! cough

Wonderful advice :)

A couple of questions 👇

Is it a bad thing to delegate most of the HP to get the APR better than APR I may get from my own curation, if the HP is in minnow level?

What's the duration of a "Long term goal"? 5 years? 10 years?

I would reply to you with a question... Would you like to receive more valuable upvotes from your friends on your posts? If the answer is YES, that's the same as what your friends would like to receive from you... And if you delegate all your HivePower to someone else, your upvote will be worthless... If your friends do the same, their upvotes will be 0 as yours... and someone else will receive those upvotes...
Yes, you will receive a few pennies more from your delegation, but your social network account will not grow... Compare your account with someone else that started at a similar time... Are you satisfied with your "strategy"? If not, maybe you should change something...

What's the duration of a "Long term goal"? 5 years? 10 years?

That is subjective... For me, the long-term in crypto would be 3-5 years... as many coins and projects that were here 5 years ago are already dead... and it's hard to think in the longer term... But, as I said, this is a subjective question, and for you, the long term could mean more time...

Hey @ph1102, cracking post and a great home for it in Hive Learners community too. It's really cool that you called me out for my post and showcased our engagement too from that post. That in term sent people like @libertycrypto27 towards my post and I have checked their blog out now too and am engaging with them, again proving the importance of engagement and networking. I also notice some friends of mine @killerwot @mypathtofire @tengolotodo @littlebee4 @seckorama all engaging really well in the comments, which does not surpris see me all, all 5 great post readers and "engagers"

Zero manual curation by the member, and almost no engagement on other people's posts... Well, with that kind of attitude, it is IMPOSSIBLE to grow your account

A sure way to grind all natural growth to a hault.

Manual creation and actually reading, understanding & contributing something that is valuable or applicable is at the heart of doing things right, in my opinion. Simply posting every day and making 5 comments etc. is a formula...

The reality is that true engagement has no formula... it would cease to be engagement, but rather a strategy.

Exactly! There is no formula for it... It has to come naturally and people should nurture that feeling of appreciating others! Unfortunately, I met some people here that think that this whole platform is run by AIs, and in the same way, they have been acting as bots... Pretending to be something else, creating a "virtual image" of someone else, while the real engagement is so simple... Be yourself and communicate with others as you would do with your friends IRL...

Again on such a great post.
It feels like I am reading my on thoughts why you are post 😬. I used to delegate most of my power on dlease and to other communities. But when I look back now I realize that it was my huge mistake maybe I was earning a descent amount of Passive income from that but most of that income I used to buy some shit coins 🥴 hive engine tokens that eyes regret and I think that will be for my life time 😅.

Now I do realize the importance of our own hive power that did make a huge difference I did learnt a lot of things from your past few posts to from the day I am following you. Thanks for the great post again. Good day and great weekend see ya soon 🙏😄🎉🙏🍀

Thank you for your kind words!

Oh, I did the same... Delegated a lot of my HP through dlease in the past, buy shittokens and regret... lol... Now, my main focus in HivePower... I suppose that after a while, people realize that risking a few % has no sense in the long run and that HODLing stable assets are the best way to grow your account... + all the "social benefits" of having bigger HivePower

Hive-Engine tokens are a lot riskier... and not like 10% riskier, but like 10 times riskier than holding HivePower... It's not that they are bad, but people shouldn't go ALL-IN, as most of H-E tokens are unstable, volatile, and created with 0 knowledge of tokenomics...

he hee totally relate and agree with you on that. We all do mistakes in the past I guess and that is how we all earn. it is ok to delegate if you are not that much active but you can even follow some curation trails if you do have a good hive power then that can be the best use of your hive power too.

I have sold a few of my coins which have no use case for me now. thanks, I always feel great to read your post. ♥️🙏

I agree with you that meaningful engagement is key to growing your account and building relationships with other users. I've also found that it's important to be genuine and helpful in your comments, and to avoid leaving comments that are just spammy or self-promotional.

This is so true! And to be honest, that's probably something that I appreciate (and like to see) the most... Don't try to pretend to be something else, do what you like, write about what you like, and be yourself! That's the best way to grow, to learn, to help others, and to help yourself... When you look back in the past, you will realize how much you grew thanks to being genuine!

Agree with you mate. I Myself read the whole post, get the meaning of posting and then comment on it according to my knowledge and wisdom. I am making 20-plus comments and 2 posts in a day to keep myself committed to this platform. Thanks for this post @ph1102

Thanks for the comment!
I found that the best way was doing max 1 posts per day, but things are changing lately and people do more than one... I suppose it depends on free time, ideas for posts, and dedication... I was doing 1 post per day for a long time, but then I couldn't keep up... Lately, doing 3-4 posts per week... So far so good... Also, it's true that a lot of time goes into commenting... 😃

Very interesting post, I agree with you and I will add, for new people, just use common sense. I have seen that the fact or earning tokens in the HIVE platform makes people behave differently than they do on other social networks. I use to tell them (as I have helped many people to open an account on HIVE) just do what you do in other platforms, make posts, comment, reblog, vote, be kind and spread some love. ❤️

But we also have this 😜 !PIZZA

It is easy like that... Don't think about the money, about the monetary aspect of HIVE, and it will come much easier than if you are thinking every day about it and stress... :)

Have an awesome Sunday!

This is great advice, some that I will take to heart too. I've been spending too much time working on DEV stuff behind the scenes lately, and don't do enough quality blogging and engaging. I'm working to get back to the engaging part... quality blogging may still take some time! !lolz

Thanks for the advice. !hiqvote

We can't do everything... I'm not a developer, but I know that dev stuff knows to take a lot of time, and it's hard to take breaks... 😃

May I ask what is your "expertise"? What are you working on?
Somehow, your nickname sounds familiar to me, but can't remember from where... Maybe some Rising Star show?

Have a great Sunday!

Expertise may be a stretch - !lolz I'm a self taught hack. :)

But I'm working in Python.
