Challenges that comes with Onboarding people to Hive
Onboarding people to the hive platform is something I love doing, I love teaching people about basic things, and hence guiding people on their journey and also helping them to gain their ground is not a problem for me but some factors hinder and discourage me from doing that and I am now very selective of people I onboard to this platform.
There are two types of people I love to onboard now. The first set of people are those skilled in writing, when I see this kind of people, I am always inspired to onboard them to hive so their talent won't be wasted.
The second set is people close to me, I tend to want to help them in case they are not doing well and the easiest way is inviting them to the hive platform where they can develop writing skills and also earn from it.
Friendship is only fun when all are making progress, so hiding updates from your circle only makes you a bad person.
The factors that discourage me from onboarding people now are due to past experiences with my onboarders.
I invited someone to Hive and he started plagiarising posts, I made a mistake when I introduced the Hive platform to him, I taught him how to sell by transferring 1 Hive to his binance memo just to teach him how to deposit and withdraw but that mistake cost me a week payout because when he was caught, all my post for that week was flagged by the watchers, I told this guy to stop posting on hive if he is too lazy to make original content but he only went ahead to create another account and started to plagiarised again and in no time, I got flagged again. If anyone was in my shoes, I suppose they would never want to onboard anyone again but then I couldn't let other innocent souls pay for the crime of someone else.
Another problem with Onboarding people to the hive platform is that some people lack patience, they get discouraged once their post doesn't get a good reward and they eventually abandon their accounts, after all the explanations and stress gone through to enlighten them about the platform, that is effort being wasted and at a point, one would get tired of stressing himself when the people involve ain't ready to give it their best.
Nowadays, I tell people the hard part and whether they want to join or not is their choice.
- I tell them it is tough to earn on the platform
- They need to be patient and dedicated
- It may take a lot of months before they start earning well
Rather than tell them, there is money for them on the platform and all they need to do is sign up, I do not raise their hope so they won't feel disappointed when they eventually join, but with the cons in their mind, if they are lucky to earn something decent, they will be happy.
I do not really find joy in onboarding people anymore but I still do once in a while and it seems I will be onboarding 2 of my coursemates soon, I am still thinking about whether to do it or not...

Don't wish for it, Make it happen
Whenever I see skilled person who is struggling and really tough person then I always encourages him to be on hive. I am happy that you also have the same thinking like me.
Well, I always think a lot before onboarding because of those people who are not skilled and as they are friends so I have to guide them a lot.
the best thing is to make sure you can control the person you onboarded cos some people are uncontrollable and never listen to corrections
Everything we do in life has rules for achieving success in it, the Hive platform included. Many newbies do not adhere to or even know the rules and that's why they don't make progress on the platform. I think you should exercise more prudence when onboarding people to Hive, though I think its somewhat unfair for the watchers to flag you because of a crime that isn't yours.
life itself is not fair so we can't always people to be fair in their dealings with us but we must learn to survive
So sorry for your experience
But I also think people on hive overlook others post, especially newbies, like you said it takes months to get earnings from here. Which is understandable. But then again it’s discouraging to post something and not get a certain of audience
the question is
are the newbies also engaging with others?
some newbies make a post and do nothing else only to come back after a few days to check on the post and expect dollars and comments to have miraculously been on it...
it doesn't work that way, you get rewarded for the effort you put into it.
if you want others to engage with you, engage with them
if you want whale vote, engage with whale too by dropping meaningful comment on their post, you will be noticed someday
Then there should be tips for newbies… I saw how @erikah gave an explanatory guidelines for newbies, but if I didn’t coincidentally saw a post about photography on her page and visit her page, I won’t have come across it, it should be easily acceptable to newbies…. Just saying
There are many tips for newbies flying around, you just need to find them, there are also discord communities that enlighten and support them, joining those discord servers will help
I also love to onboard and try to bring new useful users here. But I was not so good in it and I failed to onboard people and become active here.
OMG. Then I won't onboard anyone who is not close to me. I want to stay on the safe side.
I think onboarding was not really the issue but because i shared binance memo with him, so never let others use your binance memo and don't use others own....
Some people will even be telling you that they are not able to make as little or much as $2 the week they joined and these set of people did not invest anything at all
People want fast money but they don’t want to work for it
once I notice such character, i leave them to sort things out themselves, i cant be stressing myself to be telling them not to quit, when they eventually start thriving on the platform, it is not as if i will spend the money with them,.
I definitely think you should go for it, Burl. But only after you've accessed their character and have the conviction not to smear your reputation. And yeah, after that terrible experience, I doubt that I'd have the fortitude to onboard someone else. But I'm glad it didn't cost you too much.
I survived it but yea i lost all interest in onboarding others. thanks jyymi
Sometimes, it's hard to tell people what to do and they follow it, knowing you understand the thing much better than them. I think it's always important to assess their character, especially their level of patience before onboarding them into Hive. Giving them a realistic view of what to expect can also help.
some people's real intentions are never known until they start misbehaving.

In the same way, if we help others in this way and make it easy for them, then in the future, good things will happen to us too.
Sorry for your experience in the past. I must say you are a good person with a kind heart because despite the experience with people, you are still having in mind to onboard othera. It can only take a kind heart to do that.
Nothing good comes easy they say, if you want results, then the right process must be followed. And same thing applies to Hive.
