RE: HIVE Onboarding - My story so far and what has made me successful!
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
No no no, this is way too friendly! I want ruthless rivalry! A bitter, bloody race to minnow status between @stevemuis and @pixelhuntersam (who are both nearly halfway there...) full of banter, down-votes on each other and sabotage!
And terrible repercussions for @clairemobey if either of you beat her to minnow status! She must wear the dunce hat of shame whenever she is at home in the Mobey-Ludick household until she becomes a minnow too! Mwahahaha!
With that said - In all seriousness, I wonder if I can think of little prizes?
Also Zak puts a lot of effort into onboarding people... perhaps it's time I started knocking on doors too!

Bwahahahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 nothing wrong with some healthy rivalry! I did get cross when you pinched my spot at 2nd place @JasperDick! Pfffffffft!
What is great about a friend who surpasses you on Hive is that their votes are worth more! I have no problem with @jasperdick surpasses my HP, as long as we all keep together and support one another with votes.
Even with that concept, I would rather he give more of his bigger upvotes to @loadreaper, @michieme, @pixelhuntersam and the other newbies first so they can grow and catch up to Minnow status first!
That is why in our Mobey-Ludick post where the students are - which needs a new name as it is bigger than just my family as was originally intended - I post the post highlights of our smallest HP person first. If you had not already voted those posts, you are meant to go in at the low HP first and give them your 100% votes and then trickle down to give @jasperdick and myself your more depleted votes.
We of the 1000HP+ club appreciate your votes, but you can give more meat to the guys at the bottom.
I don't want to hold 90% of our community's HP. By the end of next year I want to see how many of us are going to be over 1000HP, over 500HP and so on.
Keep going everyone!
hahahaha, very funny!
But in all seriousness @pixelhuntersam and @stevemuis - never downvote one another! 😱😱😱 @jasperdick is joking!
Banter and such is definitely fine. Keep encouraging one another!
Yeah, @clairemobey was a bit cross when @jasperdick surpassed her in less time. There was a time that @lex-zaiya had also surpassed Claire with her stoic and consistent doctrine.
There are going to be times when some people will grow faster than others. Maybe they have a knack for it, and maybe you can learn from their posts. Sometimes they are just lucky or have a hobby or interest that makes them stand out. Eg: None of the rest of us can post Surfing posts like @jasperdick - meaning every successful or very successful surfing post is something that we could not equal.
HOWEVER, @pixelhuntersam has recently been doing gardening posts that equal or surpass plenty of those surfing posts! What I am saying is this: find YOUR "surfing" or "gardening" post. Find a niche where you can REPEAT post about that content (without spamming the same thing over and over). Usually, this is centered around a hobby. Jasper is likely to surf again and again and Sam is likely to do Gardening again and again!
Find your own passion topic(s)!
All is fair in love and war 🤣🤣🤣 it's ON!!
Alright everyone, especially (@clairemobey, @pixelhuntersam, @stevemuis and @lex-zaiya)... So @zakludick is 100% correct that it helps to have a topic that lends itself to consistency - I am lucky in that I have a beautiful guitar. It means that it is quite easy for me to be consistent with the HIVE Open Mic (theme picked for me) and Three Tunes Tuesday (I pick the theme usually to match an original song and then add two covers) challenges... Two guaranteed posts a week which is actually forcing me to learn new songs and improve as a musician.
So how about one more guaranteed weekly music post? A weekly Cover request, where the account that requests the chosen cover receives 50% of the HP from the post where I share it on the Music Community? Why don't I give you guys a shot at the first song request and the little prize? I will write a post on the HIVE South Africa Community (https://ecency.com/created/hive-150289) about it, where hopefully I will get some requests in the comments... so please head over and join if you haven't already!
LOVE IT!!! I'm in!
My music tastes are a little on the harder side, haha. But I am game! @zakludick and I have a little challenge running between us as well. Though I am starting on that one next week, taking my DIY one as the garden post for this week. My weekend is going to be chaotic 😂
Well make your request and maybe watch this 74 inch Dick "go hard"! 😋
Okay, I am going to go geek for my first one. "Toss A Coin To Your Witcher" my favourite cover of it is:
Ooooh. Nice pick!
🤣🤣🤣 such a Dick
Yeah, he is! And I hope @jasperdick never changes, haha! Now let's see if I can at least get him semi-hard 😜🤣
Lol. That's so bad 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome idea and venture @jasperdick . This week I will keep it local with a song from back in the day that always hits home with me in ways that certain songs can for different people......"This Boy" by Sweatband/ Wendy Oldfield.
Rawr! It's on! well, minus the sabotage. I'm gonna keep swimming hard!
