Do We Raise The Bars Too High On Content Creating?
Hive will likely get adoption in the unlikeliest of ways, not through the marketing film, not through influencers, not through spending ostentatiously on big influencers on Twitter and many other adoption schemes that are seeking funding through the DHF. Not that this isn't important, I just feel like the focus on these aspects for the expectations of adoption might be aggrandizing.
This is to say we mostly overrate where we feel the adoption might come from and underrate where we feel the adoption might not come from.
Due to the flexibility of the internet, people are attracted differently. While the focus for some might be watching an epic Blockchain documentary, some people might be attracted by a carefully crafted tweet on Twitter, while others might just be attracted through hitting the results of their search on a traditional search engine like Google.
Limitation: A Factor In Adoption?
Because of the flexibility of the internet, it's important to create numerous choices and acceptability, to attain at least minimum adoption. A lot of people still have the mentality of web2, but this doesn't mean they cannot be better.
Adoption is difficult because of limited choices of web3 and a rigid influence of web2 in the mind of people, this is why we cannot compare the traditional adoption speed of a web2 project to that of web3 that's why it's completely wrong to vilify Hive for being slow with adoption.
Web2 has been in people's lives for almost forever, so how long do we need to wait for them to get used to web3? There's no definite period. Content Creating is an audacious entry point and even the so-called content creators on places like LinkedIn might find it difficult. For people to create content as good as that of people who have been here for a while now.
Is Finance As Niche Limited To Crypto?
Now while we might focus too much on spending on marketing, what about encouraging flexible content creating, and dumping the traditional idea of quality content as held by many?
While this isn't the focal point of this post, I like to talk about why the focus is now on Leofinance and why it's getting better traction on the Hive Blockchain. This is because finance is a niche that's relatable and easily adoptable.
Because of the way our lives are shappened, financial experiences are inevitable, this is why people can easily talk about and even write about money. While we're seeing massive attention on crypto and DeFi, how many people can boast of having rich knowledge of them? This is why this space is enlightening. To grow the overall Leofinance project, it's important to grow to reach the possibilities of content creation.
Another Perspective On SEO
A lot of people hold the idea that they can only write about crypto or nothing else, while this isn't true. They can feel the subconscious attention, tilt, and attraction on only crypto and Defi. This means fewer contents and less engagement.
Finance is vast and we should begin to acquaint ourselves with the vastness of its reach and spread, else SEO content will only be tailored to attract only crypto enthusiasts rather than general finance.
I've been writing about personal finance in economics and many people who do not comment on my post DM's me to ask about how to make some important decisions on the aspect of personal finance.
These people are on the leofinance, watching and reading the sophistication of bonding, adding liquidity, DeFi and so many other jargons, while they're finance enthusiasts, this generally gives the impression that's it's "LEOCRYPTO" rather than Leofinance.
The Way To Seamlessly Slot In
A lot of people know @jfang003, It's impossible to know I came into Leofinance through splinterlands, why? Because he seamlessly slots into the thick of things without much effort. But how many people have come through that ranks like Jfang and done the same? Not much.
However, he's talked about the challenges of being a content creator and sometimes I feel these challenges are due to the bars we've raised on content creating, I might be wrong, I just think we should focus more on other prevalent finance niches as promote them and watch how the result unfolds.
Nevertheless, I feel like there's a disparity or disconnection amongst the project builders on Hive. The closest relationships I've seen is Leofinance and splinterlands, what happened with other projects? Plus, how haven't they understood that a better connection will help adoption and foster growth?

I think LeoFinance should absolutely skew financial/crypto stuff. But there are a ton of topics people write about here like technology. I just did one.
As far as "quality content" goes, I don't think it's really important to try to make everything important. I think it just needs to be relatable and enjoyable to read.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well some people don't even know they can write beyond crypto and this is because of how dominant contents relating to crypto tends to thrive. I don't have a yardstick for quality, I just think a good content is dependent on the consumer's adjudication.
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
I think this is why the idea of sub community feed on Leofinance will be good in having crypto/finance/... well placed for easy searching. Currently all things finance/money/crypto/blockchain are all over the place.
I am one that really do not put emphasis on quality content, if you can create it, great but I always want room for those that are not so good in writing but wants to write.
The reality is content creation is not easy, not to talk of being consistent at it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Sub communities will be great, but would it stop the emphasis or value of contents relating to crypto? I think not. I think the focus should be equal with individual curators who are vast in this field of said aspects of finance.
As per quality content, I think when a content does it's job of impacting and adding value, then that's absolutely enough for me
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
I do agree with you on having equal view, curating perspective on finance/crypto related to with ultimate reaction on the content itself.
I think you've given quality content a definition I like, "adding value"
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
Yeah, a content is value when it basically adds information that could be relevant. Some days ago, someone said my post on how to use Canva helped them do better in creating content. To me, I was happy I added that value
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
I don't really think content creation will be the biggest factor to get more people. I think it will be applications. Long-form content doesn't have that big of a user base but things like games, Project Blank, and others have high potential. However, we can redirect some of these users over to content creation. It won't hurt to improve SEO but I don't think it will be the game changer.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well, I don't even make emphasis on long contents, I was merely talking about diversification of contents whether long or short, irrespective of size, we can still create room to accommodate a whole lot that can help towards adoption.
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
Ah, sorry I must have misread. I think it was the focus on content creation that you had in the post that I had my thinking. I still think the applications will be the best way to onboard users though. While we can convert some into content creators, I am sure there are a lot of Splinterlands players who don't know about Hive.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well, there's no way we wouldn't have users that won't create contents. The only way is to make it easier for them to actually create the content. The bar is raised to high, it's not bad if we could bring it down, that's my major emphasis.
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
It'll be good to have healthy relationships/partnerships between communities on the Hive Blockchain.
Creating numerous content about other finances would be a great idea, not only crypto finance, but I think this time people are going for what they think would get them clicks which is mostly about crypto finance.
I don't limit myself to crypto finance alone, I see tech as part of the crypto realm too which should be a part of leofinance. there's more to be added and I'm sure there's going to be some changes as time goes on
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The truth is that many people tend to limit themselves to cryptofinance and this is because it seems more lucrative. I do not think there are established relationships between the communities on the blockchain. I think this is for various reasons which is in turn not too good for them chain.
There are communities that have curators that will never support other communities bringing value and traction to the Hive ecosystem and I think this is wrong.
Community and project relationship can get better
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
Of course, it can, we just need to set ego aside and push towards real growth and embrace humanity.
Exactly what's happening. Being diverse would be nice, finance has a wide range of ideas to debate on.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It looks like Leofinance is tilting to LEOCRYPTO everyday with the introduction of communities and people like me that only talk about their personal finance would have no place being a content creator here.
Haha well I'm more of a personal finance creator, I just am good at how I do it, it's a struggle though, but I'm getting it done, I think this is why I created this awareness, I think having curators into other forms of finance might make it easy to appreciate other forms of content creating

I want to believe this does not mean having contents that are not of quality. Although, for me I believe any content that lacks plagiarism amd errors, has the minimum quality rate already.
Exactly!!, breaking tables, at times some newbie like us get oppressed.
Oh my! Boss @joseddicus you are capturing a lot in one post. The rate at which I see more crypto-related posts than others will make one think this is leocrypto like you said. And most times most can not even related to it due to the jargons it entail.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'm glad you like it, this truth is, we respect crypto as the leading niche when it comes to finance, but in the process of on-boarding we l would need to simplify the art of content creating because it also promotes things like engagement. I think the only way to do this is to have different q letters who are vast in different aspects of finance, sometimes I feel the finance world has more to offer and this is why there should be equal concentration on other aspects of finance.
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
That art of content simplifying is not common to all and that is where we miss out on newbies who can't comprehend.
Exactly and it will even reduce this perceived burden or notion about the community just being a crypto-only thing.
