I have on-boarded several writers. Unfortunately, none of them of really come on board. They jumped ship or never really get started for 4 reasons.
(1) The platforms have a steep tech/coding curve.
Most people don't know HTML/markup and don't know how to learn it.
(2) They lose their passwords
(3) They are reluctant to 'permanently' post written work and thereby cut off any opportunity to publish with traditional publishers
(4) They are often censored for posting older work
From my experience, it isn't just about attracting people; it is also about keeping them.

I would agree wholeheartedly and that is about having an offer which is about more than "join us", including having specialist niches that respond to specific needs. I agree about the technology and people's awareness of the significance of passwords and keys: that will change over time with improvements in technology and people's understanding of blockchain.
With regard to publishing, that's about understanding the role that Hive can play within a broader portfolio of earning opportunities by both writers and publishers. A portfolio of well-written stories on Hive can be a showcase for a writer's work and lead to other work as well as not instead of.
I don't know enough about the context of posting older work that you're talking about, but we have tipping now, which is a new opportunity for earning beyond the seven day pay out period. Writers can create a bookstore where they showcase their best/most popular work to bring it to the attention of new readers. Several writers in The Ink Well already have these; others are in preparation and The Ink Well will also soon have one.
