App idea for onboarding new Hivers seamlessly: Learn-to-earn and Play-to-earn

avatar

When will onboarding to Hive become seamless?

That seems like the million-dollar question.

I feel that the complication in confronting new Hive users are:

  1. setting up of account
  2. buying Hive to power up
  3. understanding how things work in Hive
  4. getting significant-enough rewards soon enough.

Any of these can easily make one give up on Hive.

Most people would stop at the setting-it-up stage if the process is perceived to be difficult. When they realize they have to find ways to buy Hive to power up else the account won't have enough power, they can get discouraged. Even if they come that far, the game rules of Hive can be daunting. Lastly, if they are not getting enough rewards from their activity in Hive, they could still throw in the towel.

What can be done to eradicate these issues?

In my mind, I think some kind of phone app game could be helpful.

That is, Hive is not marketed to these new users as Hive the blogging-to-earn platform, but as some kind of play-to-earn app, and learn-to-earn app combined. It has to be fun, of course, though I don't yet have the full picture how that would look like. Just some preliminary ideas.

This is how it works.

When new users download the app, a Hive account could be automatically created alongside a small amount of Hive. This is assuming there is a fee collected for downloading the app. The cost of the account and Hive can be defrayed with it.

Now, before the new Hive user can go on further, he/she would have to go through some learning activity, which indirectly results in posts on the Hive blockchain. These posts could, of course, receive curation and the new Hive users can earn new Hive after 7 days. Getting to see that earnings come in so quickly would give the new Hiver the high!

The learning activities would encompass the ins and out of the Hive blockchain, including the history, introductions of communities, etiquette, reward mechanism, and whatnot. Basically learning how to be a successful Hiver from the very start.

I would imagine, the app can also feature games that are related to testing the understanding of Hive, say through quizzes, or even simply having an Actifit feature within it. Including a photography contest within the app is not a bad idea, if the photos can go directly to the Hive blockchain as posts. The sky's the limit once the imagination is let loose. I leave the fun to you.

Alright, this might not come true if no one acts on it. Or it's not feasible. Or it might already be in the system somewhere. I don't know. But whatever it is, the solution has to deal with the four issues described above head-on.

What do you think about this idea of onboarding new Hivers seamlessly? Do you have further ideas that can added? If this reach enough people, it might reach the right people, and who knows what would happen.

Feel free to share your ideas in the comments.

P/S: This is not financial advice, and please do your own due diligence before investing.

If you read this far... and if you are a like-minded Hiver who is on the path to learning more about Hive and crypto investing, and if you like to be tagged when I write such posts, I welcome you to leave a comment below and let me know. We can form an alliance to support each other's growth.

I think the fundamentals looks sound. Fully onboarding new hive users is a long and complicated process, the more the process is shorten the better.

It's a good idea that we move way from promoting Hive as a Blog2Earn platform, it's more than just that. Blogging is pretty much old school in the Web 2.0 space. In my opinion, Learn2Earn could be one of the best ways to onboard new users.

Blockchain technology is fairly new to the wider masses, we can create a curriculum or module to educate them about the ecosystem while also earning rewards at the same time.

I still think LeoFinance has the best way to get a Hive account.

All newbies need is a Twitter account, hit sign up and they can start posting (and earning crypto!) immediately.

Only if they want to transfer their rewards to an exchange do they have to learn about and take control of their account keys.

And the crypto they've already earned is a great incentive to do so ;)

I nearly gave up straight away when I first joined and found out that I couldn't make many posts because of a lack of Hive power. Someone on a Discord channel helped me. Had I not joined the Ecency Discord channel at the same time as joining Hive, I probably would have given up. Anything to make it easier for newbies get established would be a great idea.

Thanks for your comments!

I am glad you pointed out Discord. It seems like such alternative social media is going to be critical for onboarding new Hivers.

I agree that it takes some persistence, but people use many websites without multiple advantages Hive offers without extraordinary effort. They just don't know that.

While those are great, most normies just want Tweets (Leofinance/dBuzz), Stories, Reels/Tiktok and other trendy features.

The core devs can make themselves busy improving the Hive codebase. Maybe @arcange can also bring in devs/startups who can build on top of Hive soon. It doesn't matter if they brand their apps/services without Hive as long as they use Hive internally, this should drive adoption/explosion.

The fanbase of influencers is what really drives money into a killer app. It's hard to expand the userbase when the community is still esoteric-like.

Thanks for adding to the conversation.

Indeed, we need more ideas and then more people to turn ideas into reality.
