Hive is in desperate need of advertising!
Mediocrity
I have not been posting lately, not on Hive and not Leofinance, except for my Actifit report cards.
And this has a reason. I am quite disappointed in the evolution of Hive. Especially for all the people that have been here for years and years, and see that we keep stuck in, how else can I call it: Mediocrity! Hive is slowly sliding down in the rankings of CoinMarketCap from around the 120th spot to right about the 160th spot at this time. And that is definitely not where it belongs.
Mediocrity isn't bad, but it is not what I try to achieve. So I have a real hard time taking this. There are very good initiatives on Hive, especially in the play2earn area and with Leofinance. But that is about it. Hive needs more, and it is one specific thing it needs.
Advertising
Hive needs advertising, on all possible social media platforms. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Telegram, YouTube, Snapchat, you name it. And that doesn't have to cost much. We can definitely use some of the reward pool, for instance 5 % of it, to use it for advertising on these platforms.
We are at between 15000 and 20000 regular users these days. That is just way too little for this awesome platform. But somehow, we seem to be OK with that... I am not. That number should be at least tenfold, to be fair. But millions of users is certainly possible. It's just, they won't come by themselves. They need to be lured in, and therefor we need good advertising for it. It won't take millions, and it will pay off itself. As more users, will mean, a higher Hive price, and less Hive needed to do the same amount of advertising...
I really hope I am not alone in this. There must be other people thinking the same way too?
There are very talented people here, that know a lot about SEO marketing, and how and what to put in the ads. So please, don't settle for mediocrity, but let us aim higher!
Sincerely,

Right, advertising one of the things HIVE needs. However, at first, I think HIVE needs members who would add value to the blockchain like posting or commeting from time to time in a long-term.

I agree, hive need to get seen more. It's not enough to be the coolest..
You are absolutely right the way we see it from last few days we see its price coming down now it needs a lot of publicity so that new people can buy it. I myself am trying hard to get all my friends and relatives onto it because it's such a great and interesting platform.
I do agree that the marketing needs work but I think the focus should be on making good applications. As it is right now, I don't think we are that attractive besides having a great blockchain structure. I think using a part of the DHF and having someone run marketing would work but I am not sure if there is already something like that happening.
Why wouldn’t we be attractive? Earning money for staking, posting and curation coupled with a very secure and fast blockchain is already a big plus without any application…
Posting is something most of the other social medias already have so money is the only factor you are considering. That, by itself, wouldn't solve all issues and if people were only here for that, then it would drain the ecosystem quite fast. I think that there needs to be good applications that people want to use and I don't think the applications here on Hive are at that stage yet. Time will probably put it closer to something that a normal person will consider and the processing of understanding Hive for a beginner is still quite tough.

Patience is a must here as Hive will take off as we don't need millions of people to boom. We need a game or an app to go viral and it is that simple.
I don’t agree on that, why no advertising, very little cost to attract users, and a bigger change for an app or game that goes viral…
