Hi there my Hivean friends and followers!
Over the years that I have been a member of this amazing community, I have onboarded dozens of people here but none of them have started out their Hivean journey as epically as my most recent recruit - @craftingwithreny. They (it´s actually a couple - Reny and her husband Tom) literally took Hive by storm with their yesterday intro, which is in fact still occupying one of the top spots on the trending page even today. This is how it´s doing after just some 24 hours :)
Almost 500 upvotes worth 285 dollars, more than 100 comments and still counting. Wow. That´s some crazy engagement on a newbie´s first post and can tell you that Reny and Tom were just as surprised and excited about the feedback as I was. So thank you so much everyone for stopping by their post and leaving a welcoming comment or vote, much appreciated!
Now why am I actually talking about this? We have newbies joining our community every day, there is nothing special about it, I know. But as you have probably noticed, these guys are VERY successful on other social media and their combined fan base totals at almost 3 million people. That´s a pretty big crowd.
As you can imagine, I have been spending a lot of time on the phone with Tom (he is actually the tech person behind the craft project), explaining a lot of stuff that newbies usually ask about etc. but I can tell you, just by the phone calls we have had, that he and Reny are so honestly and genuinely pleased, impressed and excited by our community and Hive in general. They cannot wait to start posting and engaging here regularly and, even more importantly for us, introducing Hive to their fans! How cool is that? Now imagine if thousands, tens of thousands or maybe even hundreds of thousands of their fans from Facebook and other socials start rolling in to Hive to support their favorite craft creators. It would only be a matter of time before the fans would realize how cool this place actually is, what incredible possibilities Hive offers and that they can actually monetize even the support itself (through curation rewards I mean). The snowball effect that this could potentially trigger could be enormous.
So the point is don´t be afraid to reach out to famous people with large fan bases to tell them about Hive. I know, it was easy for me this time because I know these guys personally (me and Tom have been friends for almost 20 years) but even if you don´t know the people personally, just go for it and give it a shot. You have nothing to lose. I´m sure if people knew about the actual possibilities and potential of the whole Web 3.0 concept, the decentralized world and the crypto / blockchain social networks like Hive, they would switch from the Web 2.0 obsolete, corrupted juggernauts right away. We just need to reach out to them. We just need to tell them. We just need to show them.
