Problem Solving With Jongo!
As seen in the CTP Discord...
"Since my RC is at 30 % can't do much commenting..."
I then ask...What's your username?
They send it to me, and I delegate 50 Hive Power. And I don't do this out of the kindest of my heart, or maybe I do...Not sure lol
What I do this for, is to make sure everyone that comes into our little community here on Hive...Has no excuse!
Excuses are like...My kryptonite!
When I hear them, I get frustrated, sometimes even angry and might say things I will regret down the road. Mostly because, I've heard them all in my time online. The world of online business building is RIPE with excuses and each and every day, you hear a new reason why someone 'can't' do something.
I've always thought, the better way to frame it is...HOW can do this thing? Rather than I can't!
Anyways, I bring this up because Hive truly is...Life changing!
When you put the effort into this place, it can change your life and I'm starting to see evidence of it from my good buddy @rick-scarrow
(Sorry man, I'm sharing our little chat tonight for the post lol)
He's starting to get it. He's falling in love with what Hive offers. He's even sharing Hive links for his content across his traditional social media platforms.
He's got a passion and he's able to showcase it to the world using this blockchain. Epic stuff!
But maybe....
You aren't like Rick! Maybe you struggle with coming up with things to write about every day or every week...
Maybe, you haven't found your voice yet! Not to worry because you see, Hive is MADE for the no-excuse movement we try to build on CTP lol
You can actually add a TON of value by...Commenting and engaging with others!
I'm beating a dead horse here because you know what I'm going to bring up?
The good ol' @taskmaster4450 method of....
'Go make 500 comments on the blockchain and then come talk to me!'
Brilliant stuff really because if you want get out of the 'excuse' mindset where you don't know what to write about....Don't!
Get out there and actually COMMENT on others posts!
Oh but content creators on Hive, you aren't getting a free pass either because check this out...
I found this little graphic tonight while poking around my journal. And all we need to do, to bring this into relevance for us on Hive is...
Switch 'businesses' with 'content creators' and 'customers' with 'followers'!
68% of people, will never bother coming back to your content if you don't simply...Acknowledge them and my goodness, spend the 5 seconds it takes to respond to their engagement!
Obviously, this isn't a proven scientific fact however I know what I do when I feel under appreciated on someone's posts...
I rarely go back.
So here we are.....
Solution time for us here!
Problem: You don't know what to write about on Hive!
Solution: Don't write, just comment for now!
Problem: My followers aren't engaging with me as much anymore!
Solution: Respond to their comments and heck, even visit their blogs too!

I think that the right kind of audience are out there. Not everyone is meant for Hive, but if we can reach the percentage of those that understands the concept, we'll go as far as possible. I'm glad he's getting it. Hive's not rocket science. A little bit of time to understand it would be worth it. I'm always selling this idea.
Yeah for sure! There is a learning curve, but if people are fired up to learn it and try it out, they get hooked!
!CTP
Do I need to be worried about what I text to you now? 😂
Bro!!!!!
It's all open source lol
!CTP
I have that problem. I mostly write in technical and code topics but I can't write on leofinance and others so I make sure to comment and have some connections instead. I don't know if it would help or not but I learn a great deal along the way.
That's the secret, as simple as it sounds...Commenting is a great way to build relationships!
!CTP
Absolutely, I have done this on noisecash and it really worth it. I made a total of 250+ comments daily on noisecash and I was happy with reward I got. I'm new here hive and I'm ready to make success through commenting because I see it as a tool to connect with others. Hive is a good place with great and nice people who are ready to help willing hands get to the top. I'm grateful to @clixmoney through whom I got the light about @hive. I noticed I have some CTP I didn't know much about it but I'm glad I found a clue here.
Yeah, CTP is a nice tribe of @jongolson they have a lot of people there. It's all about marketing.
Thank you so much for the clarification
CTP is a second layer project on Hive. So you are earning CTP as well as Hive when you post to the front end (ctptalk.com)
Good to have you onboard!!
!CTP
I totally agree with this. Engagement is very important and is somehow the social glue of a social media. Even if an author knows what they should write about, this should not prevent them for checking out blogs of others, and commenting them out.
Cheers!
That's the truth. Something I need to kick my own butt to do more of for sure.
!CTP
A lot of people underestimate engagement and it's definitely one thing that is required if you want to succeed in content creation. With so many different posts and authors out there, you have to compete with everyone else for attention.

And it's a lot easier on Hive but still, a tough go if you show up once a week for a few minutes.

Not to be sappy or to sugar coat everything you said on another bang on #jongo post, but there are some of the most awesome and interesting people I've met on HIVE. I don't feel I'm exaggerating by saying that.
Again, I have to give ListNerds a huge reason engagement has flourished for me; but at it's core, it has lead to interacting with amazing content creators, people that are genuinely happy to help and folks that I'm motivated by each and everyday.
!CTP
Love hearing it man, and that's the goal with all our products...TO get people 'out there' more and to engage with each other!
!CTP
Now it is use 500 links from the @leoglossary Main Menu and come and talk to me.

ha ha ha ha Nice!
No more Investopedia for me!!!
!CTP
Damn that means I have to get a lot more terms up there.
You are going to make we work arent you.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
HAHAHA a new contest... who can read the terms faster than Task can get the entered.
LOL
Well I am not so concerned with reading them as much as using the links in posts and comments.
That is what will help things over time.

I totaly agree with you. On the Hive Platform, there are lots of opportunities to do many other things if a person is not comfortable creating content daily. Just need to start somewhere and then expand to the other things little by little or all in one big jump. As long as you keep progressing by taking action and not using excuses to stop you from moving forward. Take care.
!CTP
Way too busy to sit back and 'take it easy'. So much to do here!
!CTP
I can attest to this. I learned this from Jon before the Blockchain. Today was my 1075th strait, yes strait, day. Not missed a one of posting on Hive.
No excuse for missing one.
I challenge you all to give me an excuse I have never heard or never wanted to use 😉

Want to see the commenting love in action? ... go look at the posts shared on DreemPort and how the Dreemers leave comments on them. Community forms in the comments.
This is absolutely what I needed to hear to get me going again. I have built for years here without really optimizing as I have seen it as longer term but seeing this shows why consistency in engagement is clearly key!
Some great tips. There is no excuse not to get started and take action today. Wisdom is DOING!
