RE: Hive-Naija Weekend Engagement #36 - "Hive Struggles"
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
First to comment 😇😇.
Question 1. What are your past or current Hive struggles?
The truth is nothing discourages me more than when I spend hours on an article, and upload it here only to get little or no engagement. It breaks my heart really. By engagement, I mean comments, comments, and upvotes. I know some people say it's not always about the upvotes, but hey, sometimes people need a little pat on the shoulder just so they know that they're doing something right.
The reason I keep coming back is that naturally, I'm a stubborn coconut-headed girl who doesn't stop until she gets results. So, I'll keep putting in the work.
Question 2 How were you able to find your way on Hive?
I found my way on Hive by asking the right people the right questions. My friend Onwugbenu Victor told me about Hive. I asked that young man questions until he was tired of me. I also did my own research you know. I was just scrolling through every post and community. Looking through different profiles to see what they were doing right or what I was missing. Engaging in contests also helped me find my way here.
Question 3 What community or person helped you during your low times here?
Thirdly, persons or community who helped. I'll just type a few so I don't get in trouble for tagging too many names. @onwugbenuvictor, @readthisplease, 👍@attentionneeded,@starstrings01, etc. These guys never turned down an opportunity to help me.
In terms of community, I really like the Leofinance community- if you have good quality posts and you're consistent, engagement will find you.
Question 4 Do you struggle with something currently and need help? What are they?
Lastly, I struggle with engaging as much as I should. I mean, I did write somewhere in my articles that with quality engagement comes visibility, and with visibility comes growth.
I do my best to engage as much as possible, but I know it's not enough. I'll be working on it though. So, if you see me dropping comments everywhere, I hope you understand.
Meanwhile, @samostically, you're doing an amazing job. It's like bringing us together for a weekly family meeting. Well done champ👍
Hehehehe, maybe there should be a prize for this
😅😅😅
Only if you start giving the prize today o😉
Hehehe, that is a good one 😂.
That's not a bad idea, but I thought there is a prize already? 🤔.
Have you tried submitting your post to dreemport? That's an amazing way to gain eyes on your posts and of course comments.
Oh, I haven't. Please tell me more @iskafan
You just need to register for an account using dreemport. Verify your mail then you will have 5 posts to read and engage daily. When you are done, you rank the posts and submit yours for others to visit too.
You can visit @dreemport account for more details. Or go through this, 'how to use dreemport'
I'll check it out. Thank you very much.
You are welcome
💙
❤️
Wow, this sounds great. Thanks for this tip! I'll certainly check it out too.
You are welcome babe
Yes Sist, you should, you will be happy you did.
She's already doing what she is so good at, keep it up dear.
Truly, engaging is a big task sometimes. But to make ends meet here and get popular or attract more Hivers to your blog, you may have to engage.
Those times where I post a work and I had $0:0 as rewards are quite discouraging but I didn't lose hope. Keeping one's head up is the way around here, no matter what.
Absolutely. Engagement is key to survival in this blockchain.
Yeah. We keep doing that else we lose relevance.
Exactly, the more we engage, the more people feel that someone is there.
You know. That's how to get the desired goal on the Hive blockchain. #engagement
Exactly, I love that hashtag.
#engagement
That's absolutely right dear.
Hmmmm my guy you and this your tangible points 😎😎😎 engagement is hard sometimes, what if you make a wrong comment on another comment that is Wahala 😂😂😂 especially to newbies who don't read all post because of length 😎😎😂😂
Wahala nor dey finish. That moment when you want to make as many comments as possible so that you paraphrase the reading and then your comment goes wrong with the content 😂🤣😂
hehehehehhe wahala everywhere, i go just ignore you hehehe, if he vex me, i go bash am heheheh
Ignorer, I'm so happy you are engaging a lot these days I got to know you and I'm really happy I did.
Hmmmmm do you mean me or who babe???😳😳😳
You naw, you say you go just ignore am, na make I say ignorer, read what I replied to, hehehe.
Me and paraphrasing 5 & 6😂🤣😂😂.
The thing is, you can't read the wholen article. You wither follow the trend of other comment under the article of just read like two to three paragraphs, then make a comment. Shikena
A lot of times, I read the whole article, especially when it's interesting. I think I'd adopt this reading a few paragraphs method, so can engage with more people.
That's what I do to reach more users.
After all, my comment is my perspective of what one has written.
Thank you for the tip
That's right, I do that sometimes, but that's if the post is not what I will benefit from.
For me, it's for my busy schedule and then the urge to get more reward.
That's good to know sir, we all have what drives us, we just have to keep that so we can be motivated to go on no matter what.
Hahaha, It is well 😂.
As in ehn, that mistake happens a lot that is why it's always advisable to read out anything you've written before sending it out.
You know. May be anxiety, I have made mistakes that kept me in awe of what I was thinking 💭 before posting.
Yes me too, I've received corrections from so many people. I still make the mistake till now but I've seen improvement.
Hahaha, na them know na, I just pray say them nor go downvote them. It's not a must you make a comment, if what you are reading does not interest you it's better to forget about it and move to the next.
Abi oh, then someone will now come and comment shit on post 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That thing is annoying sha oo, they should shift away from me oo, because me I do not know how to ignore a comment oo, lolz.
Yes sir you are absolutely right, engagement is not easy because is one of the major ways to gain visibility here.
Giving up is never an option, no matter the low value votes I earn, at least I earn something and that means some persons loved my work, I always value the comments more so I don't get hurt when the votes don't come but I rejoice when I get a good vote.
Well said sis. I have tie feeling that my work may not be like yours. Still, I have users who value it and would always come around to support it.
Exactly and I always try my best to appreciate the little and the large because it's not always easy.
you have indeed done well dear, if you no get gbas gbos for head aswear you go give up, hive is only meant for the coconut headed ones this is indeed beautiful
Thank youuu. At least my coconut head is not for nothing🤣. You're also doing very well.

You self you sha know 😂😂.
Hehehehe 🤣🤣

Hahaha, she is just starting self, when you know her well you should say this for now save it, hehehe.
Heheehhhe 😋😋, so she be real coconut 🥥 Head 😋😋🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes oo, a lovely coconut head, hehehe.
Yes oo, I'm glad you found Hive, this is the right place to use your coconut head, hehehe.
You have spoken well my lady in Tyrion's voice in got😋😋😋🤣🤣
Hehehe, how I wish I knew Tyrion 😂😂.
Hahaha, as funny as it sounds, that's just the truth, for your face to show, you gat dey show up every day.
You need to dedicate and spend more time on hive for hive to love you
You are absolutely right Foxy, nice words ❤️.
Lack of engagement can be so discouraging but I don't beat myself too much on it because I noticed not too many people read and it's disheartening... It's not that the quality of the post is bad, no, the attitude of people to give comment is the one that is down.
@oluwalium You're very correct. Even though I promise not to beat myself up about it, I end up feeling bad.
Of course. It's normal and you are only being human. It would always play in our head, so I can relate to it. 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Finally. Someone who gets me 🤗
Aww... I'm glad 🤗🤗🤗
You should be 🥰😘.

It's heartbreaking so you must surely feel bad but all that will be better now since you are now a Dreemer.
Thank you for mentioning this! Sometimes we think it's the post that isn't good enough. But in actual fact, people don't comment because they didn't take the time to read the post or don't know what to say. But that's okay, because it's not by force and we shouldn't feel entitled to people's comments.
Exactly. When we start to feel entitled, we start to have unrealistic expectations @dimmablogs.
When the comments come...I engage, appreciate and upvote with my few cents. I don't joke with any comment... because it takes effort for people to give that comment...good comments.
Gbam!!! You have said it all, I always value every single comment on my blog, even though it's from a bot. The more people see how you value their comments, the more they come back to give more comments.
Yes, I even reply the bot 😂😂🤣🤣😂...leaving no stones unturned. Upvoting comments too helps which is why I want to buy more HP later on.
Yes oo, no one is exempted, hehehe.
I don't vote on comments too often because I sometimes forget but like you said it's good to vote on comments.
Wow that is a really good news, all the best boo 🥰.
Thank you dear.
You're always welcome boo boo 😘😘.
🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘
🤗🤗🤗🤩🤩
That's absolutely right, we should stop feeling entitled to things, we just have to be grateful for them.
That's true. Most people don't take time to read and those who give comment just pick from the top and the bottom and speak off point 😂😂🤣🤣.
That off point part 🤣🤣, I'm telling you... is it not better to just upvote and waka pass than dropping odd comments? 🤦
I'm guessing that's also one of the reasons some people don't reply comments, because it leaves them speechless.
Hahaha, that's very funny but true. Now we know engagement is key so we just want to comment for engagement sake, thereby forgetting the true meaning of encouragement here on Hive.
Hahaha, that's right, I do that sometimes but I always make sure to get the point of the writer if not, I rather not say anything.
Exactly... Better to be quiet than give vague comments.
That's how it should be oo but some people will not agree, lolz.
We will keep teaching them.
Yes we will, we should 😊.
🍫🍫🍸🍸🍷🍷🍸🍸🍾🍾
🤩🤩🤩🚀🚀🚀😄😄
Exactly. I read way more posts than I comment on. Just that at times the comments don't flow. Especially if the post is long, by the time I've reach the end, I've forgotten what I wanted to reply at the middle,lol
This! I totally relate with you 🤣... It happens oo.
😂😂
We are together
Yes oo, me included 😅😅.
Yes, a lot 😄.
Lolz as funny as that sounds, I can relate perfectly well with it. There were times when I tried engaging with some leofinance post and I found out that they always like explaining at length so reading from start to finish was really hard and because of that, I don't get to leave a comment and even if I do, I just say a little because I've forgotten what I've read 😅.
😂😂😂 Hehe, we are together my sister
Yes oo, on this one 😂.
That's right, I'm so guilty of this and that's why I don't get too sad when people don't relate with my post as they should. I always believe that, we get what we give so for you to get more, you have to give more and more.
Yes that's true. But at times, some people (me) read and though they understand, don't know what to contribute or discuss. So they just leave It as it's better not to speak than leave and unintelligent comment
It's better to leave it and not engage at all. I just upvote and move on.
Exactly
💯
😘😘😘
🤗🤗
👏👏👏
That is a good recommendation boo ❤️.
Thanks sugar boo. 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
You're always welcome my boo 🤗.
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
🌹💐🌹🔥💞🔥☺️🦋💙💜
Hmm, that's true sha and it happens more when I don't have idea of what the person has written about before that post. Like it's a new knowledge, I don't know too much about it and I don't have any questions too.
That's right, sometimes I just feel reluctant to read some certain posts at the moment but if I could get a reminder sha I would not miss any post I come across, hehehe.
Yes, when I don't feel like engaging, I just upvote and move on. We can't always be in the mood, I get it. 👏👏👏👏
That's very okay too ❤️.
🤗🤗🤗
😘😘😘
I think me and you portray the same character😂😂. We won't stop until we get the desired result we want. Like the saying na who gives up, fuck up. So, let's keep thriving, till it get better.
YESolutely. Na who give up fuck up my dear @mercysugar😂
Aswear😂
😁
Lolz
Normally 😎😎.
That's a really good spirit girl, we are girls and we have the girl power and giving up is not an option, hehehe.
Yes oooo😂, thanks hope.
You're welcome dear.
😂😅 I feel like I just got described, I'm the kind of person that'll cry about something but you'll find me hustling the next second. I don't stop until I finish what I started no matter how rocky the road gets.
You're right, we all say it's not about the upvotes but deep down it is... These things keep us pushing and feeling good but no matter how little they are, we still shouldn't give up. After all, high hopes and entitlement won't do any good.
Yeahh I also struggle with engaging more, it's not easy but we'll get through it.
I'm glad you were able to find your way on Hive through those amazing people you mentioned.
I'm happy I'm not alone in this🤣.
It's not so easy honestly. But I've seen the difference between when I engage and when I do not. Engagement is key for we coconut-headed and result-oriented fellows to survive in this blockchain. Thank you so much for your comment.
Yes oo, engagement is the master key 😅
My pleasure babe!
That's right.
I'm so glad you have see the difference, I'm a product of that difference actually. I know the benefits because I get it every day.
For me the Upvotes are just figures and I'm not happy when I get a low figure, it means I'm working hard enough so I top my game. The votes are necessary not because of the money but it gives me the motivation that I'm doing something right and same goes with the comments but I always prefer the comments more because it's a lot easier to tell if I'm truly growing personally or not.
@readthisplease has really helped alot of people.
Oh yes, he has.
💯
He's an og
I agree with you.
He's a good guy, he's always willing to help out if you are willing to follow his direction.
What you said about refinance community is true from my observations so far just that finance post is not thing😄
Engagement is good, very good and very important but it's not easy. If one want to be an active engaged...then he or she may need to devote some days to post and some to engagement
Yes the leofinance community is a really great community amongst many but I find it really difficult to fit in.
Yes engagement is just fun, I can't stay a day without engaging with someone new aside my normal friends, the people I follow and it has been helping me a lot.
Wowww
I just picked something here
Engaging with new people 👌
Thanks for this babe
I'm so glad you got it.
You are always welcome Ma'am ❤️.
It's great that you've seen areas where you need to improve,and are working towards it. I can assure you if you do it'll come good in the end.
My own problem Is the inability to make posts consistently. I've only made posts consistently for a week, once. Even though I've spent more than a year. Anyway, we grow everyday.
You mentioned leofinance community. They're one of my favorite communities. Just that I don't usually have enough ideas for finance related content everytime.
!PIZZA
@b0s I really can't wait to improve honestly. You see that consistency thing yeah, it's not so easy to keep up. You can only do your best for real. There are times I couldn't write a single article for over two weeks, and nothing clicked. So, I get you.
Righttttt, me and you both. That's why I sometimes write from personal experiences too. Any small thing that comes to my mind, I turn into an article or make a video.
Yes oo, being consistent can be very hard sometimes but there is this thing that drives us and that is having a strong determination to achieve sure things and you are already moving in that direction, sooner than later you will see positive results.
As in ehn, it must not be something really big, just share an experience or an idea. Keep up the good work dear.
Yes that mind of not giving up is something that will help her or anyone achieve his or her goals.
Its not easy to he consistent at all but I believe if you set a goal for yourself, you will achieve it, so it's up to you.
Indeed the leofinance community is an amazing community and its really so hard to come up with finance related posts. In fact sometimes I feel is for some selected people, lol but that is not true at all.
I see your main issue is being engaged and you engaging, well, I would love to advice you that even as you have found dreemport, you should use the ecency front-end more in making your comments and also try to meet up with the top engages as this will be a source of m for you to keep going when you feel like giving up.
Indeed these people you've mentioned are really good at helping others that are around them and I'm happy you have them.
If you want to gain visibility, like you said, it is all about how well you engage and I'm very sure you will do really well henceforth.
Yes @samostically has really made here feel like home for us with this amazing questions he gives us every weekend, it's so good to have you join us this weekend.
