Greetings to you all, welcome to my page, I'm still that humble, trusted local guide who is doing my best to get as many as possible to come join #hive to either blog or #spendhbd.
As a local guide, I have succeeded in onboarding many people, some who constantly spendhbd, and also some who from time to timebcreate content and engage as well.
I always say that my city is a bustling city where people work tirelessly to pay their bills, and they don't easily give in to a project they don't really understand, Time, effort, and energy are involved to get them to join Hive.
It's quite unfortunate to see that, after all my efforts, both physically and financially, some people still think or believe that I don't deserve any reward, and they will always downvote my content both on spendhbd and other original content, but that doesn't stop me from pushing the spendhbd project, because I believe it's the best thing I can do, hours are spent on marketing just to get one person to join.
Evening marketing at listed businesses.
Because my goal is to get as many as possible to join hive, and I know crypto transactions is not part of the Nigerian system so some listed businesses don't really remember or will not have all the time to help their customers understand how to use hbd, I decided to make a little sacrifice, since most supermarket are very busy towards evening time when workers have closed from work, I decided to pay a visit to those listed business in the evenings and spend some hours there, as customers approaches to shop,the shop owners or sales rep will tell the customer about #spendhbd and I will take over the conversation, explaining what spendhbd is how it can benefit them.
I got some negative response from people who have been victims of scams , while some are so tired and will just want to shop and go home, they don't have any second to spare.
But I have still be able to onboard some shoppers, who visit @hubmore supermarket in the evenings, and they were very happy to see that this project is no scam since they were able to get there discount in Naira immediately.
An Example is @ayojoy, she wasn't interested a bit but I convinced her that she will get her discount in Naira immediately just to confirm the ligitness of the project, she was also concerned about the amount she can shop since she buys lots of things, I also showed her that she can shop twice a day, immediately she saw the cashback she said "Please I want to see it in my traditional bank account, I have done lots of this and I couldn't withdraw the funds"
Immediately I made a transfer to her traditional bank account and moved the HBD to my hive exchange wallet and she was so surprised, now she's convinced she promised to get her friends to come join, and I as well mentioned to her how she can create short contents on ecency Waves and engage in that of others since she has limited time due to her work.
Same evening marketing at Hubmore, I met @oluchic, onboarded her, and taught her how to create short content on ecency Waves, and she started immediately because she enjoys doing it when she's a little bit free.
This project has taken Hive beyond just creating content which some people might not really have the time, and it has attracted thousands of people who are using Hbd on a daily basis.
The goal is to saturate Nigeria with hive either for blogging or for spending hbd, So any strategy that can help me reach out to as many as possible I will try it out no matter the cost.
A big thanks to the wonderful team and inventor of this life changing project, @theycallmedan, @starkerz and other team members, we appreciate you so much and will do our best to make sure this project gets to everyone possible.
Thanks everyone 🙏🏻.
