A bit about the Social Side of our Project.

Add a heading (2).png

It has been long criticised on here that web2 is old news, and web3 is the way to go.

I agree with this, but there is clearly a disconnect between those that are in the know, and those that aren't. The main problem I have always is trying to convince people to join Hive. They see the monetization aspect and immediately think "Scam!"

And who could blame them right? Web2 companies have been raping their data and selling it off to companies for years without returning anything back to us -- so why should they not think it's a scam?

That's where I think we need to get a little bit inventive and utilize the tools we have at our disposal. For me (and for most of our core team actually) our skills lay in teaching, community building, planning, and marketing. These are our strengths when it comes to what we do here on a day to day basis.

So as we said in our last post we will be getting our hands dirty with web2 to try and entice people over to web3. How we do this is that we will use the skills (and hopefully other people's) that we have available to us.

I've went back full web2. I am a creator at heart, a writer, a fan gatherer, a fighter - one thing I've always been good at doing is attracting an audience with my writing. So I'm taking my writing and turning it into a full blown attempt at YouTube. You can see my stats below from when I started last month. I am gaining traction fast.

As you can see, quite healthy growth that I'm seeing. I studied hard before I took to YouTube to see what people wanted and how to grow that base. It'll be a while before I have a big enough audience where I can start promoting The Man Cave, but I will.

That's why we'll be creating spaces in the cave. It was the original idea for the Man Cave but we neither had the audience or the money to see it through. Now we have the money but we need the audience. That's why I'm doing it in the only way I know how.

Getting them in from Web2.

Think of our new spaces feature as a new way for men (and some women if they want to) to come in and learn something new. So far we have:

Healing & health: @dbooster and myself manage this space. We will be creating many mindfulness and mental health training courses, resources, and one to one

Music: Need I say more? This is @stickupboys place

Splinterlands help: Our very own Splinterlands master @burlarj will be available for coaching or however he wants to run that space

Astrology: @opidia loves astrology. She wants to manage this, and I know many men are into this!

Think of it like how Andrew Tate has organised his hustlers university, but we will be way more welcoming and less focused on the gains, and more focused on the teaching.

This will then be the gateway to our services from there. From there we'll introduce them to BRO & Legion and all the other cool shit you can do on hive, and I dare say by the time I start fully promoting this there will probably be even more cool shit on hive to play with.

Legion will be the main player in this one - so get ready to hold onto your bootstraps, it's going to be fun.

This will be our focus for the social side until next year. Then after it's been running for a few months we will review it and see what else we can do.

And from here, we just keep building!

Hey Raymond. @blockurator here from Steemit. You've come a long way from those Steemit days. Congratulations!

And who could blame them right? Web2 companies have been raping their data and selling it off to companies for years without returning anything back to us -- so why should they not think it's a scam?

I'm not sure people consider Web2 companies misusing their data is actually getting to them. They seem to like it. They keep going back. For most people, the idea that you can earn something of value for doing something that you do everyday for free seems like a pipe dream. They probably think it's easy-peasy, just show up, post a couple of cat memes, and you're an instant millionaire. Yeah, right! No wonder they're skeptical.

Network marketers get the same cold shoulder. Very few people believe joining Amway is going to make all their dreams come true. Yet, some people join anyway. Some of them actually do well at it. Pick any network marketing organization, and there are many, from Mary Kay to Primerica, and the great mass of people who encounter them say, "No way." But there are a few who join, and even fewer who work it hard and actually succeed at it.

Bottom line, Web3 is work. If you're just showing up to Facebook and Twitter to play, maybe you think, "No way. Get paid for posting pictures of my food? Yeah, right!" But if it's presented as an alternative means of income, a side hustle, a business opportunity, maybe some realistic expectations can be set from the beginning. It's work. You actually have to work it.
