X or Hive, How about both?

Hello Hive,

If you are a Hiver who is active on X (formerly Twitter), you probably know that I’ve monetized my account and am building the X empire. (lol) It’s been pretty easy to get it up to about $60 a month. While that’s not a lot, it pays for the blue check mark and a few subscriptions on X. This is important not because I love Elon, but I love that he is taking a stand for “Freer Speech”.

But at the same time, I always love Hive and check in often, because Hive is where the real magic happens. Hive is the blockchain and cryptocurrency for Web31, with fast, scalable, and powerful features2. Hive has over 126 decentralized applications and communities3, and is home to some of the most-used Web3 apps in the world, such as Splinterlands, PeakD and InLeo. Hive is also one of the most decentralized blockchains, with no single entity or organization that controls the network2. Hive is awesome, and you know it.

Now, I’ve figured out some of the easy steps to grow your account on X (while monetization is young) and building the account is easy. I think Hivers could unite and help build each other pretty easily. We can use X as a gateway to introduce more people to Hive and its amazing ecosystem.

It’s been my observation that as my account grows, the visibility of the Hiver accounts goes down and many of them are below the viewing line of comments (lightly shadow banned). This is not cool, and we need to change that.

Here are my suggestions for getting more power out of the X posts.

Hive Users follow and support each other, but not exclusively. You can easily build your account by making comments on large accounts threads, especially when the thread is new. I find that if I engage too much with all the same accounts and don’t get out of my network, my account goes a bit stale, like a loaf of bread. So I get out of my common areas and go to new topics. I always get a boost from those comments, like a shot of espresso.

At this stage of the game, I’m averaging about 4M impressions a week, but still only have 3500 followers and engagement on my main posts are growing. I’m up to about 20 new followers a day, but it goes faster and it grows. Like a snowball rolling down a hill. Or a virus spreading in a pandemic. Wait, scratch that last one. So, follow and engage with Hivers, but make Hive a smaller part of your content. Make a joke, post a meme, run a poll and comment on other topics. That will help your own engagement and also attract more people to Hive. For example, you can post something like this: What is the best social media platform for Web3?

X Hive Facebook TikTok Comment your answer and why. I’ll go first: Hive, because it’s fast, scalable, powerful, and awesome. And because I’m a Hiver, and Hivers stick together. #hive #web3 #socialmedia

If we built a large network, the larger accounts can help lift the lower accounts out of shadowland, and we can all benefit from the synergy of X and Hive. Together, we can make a difference and have fun at the same time.

What do you think, Hivers? Are you with me? Let me know in the comments below. And don’t forget to follow me on X and Hive for more tips and tricks on how to grow your social media presence. Cheers! 🥂

I hope you like my suggestion. Feel free to edit it as you wish. Have a great day! 😊

Rebuilding HiveBuzz: The Challenges Towards Recovery
@biyimi(69)· 908d
I am in full support of this approach
@karinxxl(76)· 911d
3500 ! That is a decent amount you have going there, but indeed...the snowball effect works as the algorhythm picks up! That generates way more views than I had expected honestly!

I do a lot of lurking on twitter to be honest, with multiple accounts so I have a lot of different feeds streams (again before the algo takes over)

Keep them both going! It is so different and almost non comparbile with each other

This is cool from you, boss. As a response to this, please tell me what your username, is; I want to follow you right away. And please, boss, how did you get up to 3500 users and how did you monetize that to the extent of $50 per month? If I have that, not only will my life be helped, but others around me will too.

I need to be schooled by you the more boss.
@uwelang(79)· 911d
Great approach I would fully support :-)

hahahaha, if we cross out the pandemic hahahaha, I am one more of your followers from today, I joined the panel 4 years ago, motivated by a great friend @galberto, I like the panel and what makes me feel best is having some friends, few, but they are always there for me and vice versa, it is the most important thing for me. My way of thinking is : A person can hurt me, but the friendship I have with some users will NOT It could ruin it, that will never happen, I get the money from my work in marketing and I'm doing very well thank GOD

Firstly, I’m glad to know that you are earning on X and I hope you continue to go harder. I think I should also give it a try to see if I can also begin to earn like you Kudos to you!

Hive has many advantages that other social media do not have. Hive doesn't have all the advantages like another social media's. If the advantages of HIVE can be increased then it will rise to the top than all others social sites

I liked X(Twitter) because I felt that with Elon Musk's stance on freedom of speech, this platform would be a great place to express yourself. But when they suspend your account for, evidently expressing a personal political position, you realize it's a big farce. Even more, when the same platform (Twitter) gives preference to accounts that attack precisely those who are expressing opinions on issues that go against their line of thought. A clear bias to the centers of political and economic dominance. I still don't know if I will try again to create another Twitter account (for the third time). I am disappointed and I realize that if I do, I will be forced to self-censor myself. What a great success this "freedom of expression" on Twitter. Greetings.

Me gustaba X(Twitter) porque sentia que con la postura de Elon Musk sobre la libertad de expresion, esta plataforma seria un gran lugar para expresarte. Pero cuando te suspenden tu cuenta por, evidentemente expresar una posicion politica personal, te das cuenta que es una gran farsa. Mas aun, cuando la misma plataforma (Twitter) le da preferencia a cuentas que atacan precisamente a quienes estan opinando de temas que van en contra de su linea de pensamiento. Una clara parcializacion a los centros de dominio politico y economico. Aun no se si vuelva a intentar crear otra cuenta en Twitter (por tercera vez). Estoy decepcionado y me doy cuenta que de hacerlo, me vere obligado a auto censurarme. Que gran exito esto de la "libertad de expresion" en Twitter. Saludos.

It is a little painful watching you grind incessantly on Twitter for $2/day but I try and throw hearts at you when I see the posts. All I use Twitter for is to shill Hive and connect with other Hive folks who do the same.
@livinguktaiwan(81)· 912d
I didn't even know one could monetise on X, but that's not surprising since I'm hardly on there. It's least visited social network. I guess if you enjoy the engagement that's the most important thing, and the monetization becomes a very nice bonus
@nonameslefttouse(77)· 912d
I would be delighted to join you on, The Platform Formerly Known as Twitter Now Formally Known as X!

Just kidding.

But it's nothing personal and I don't have any issues with that platform either. Just don't have it in me anymore. Starting from scratch, knowing what it takes to build those followings and maintain attention spans, then getting to that point where one wonders why and what's all this for? Did it once. Never again lol...
@steevc(80)· 912d
Well done on earning there. I'm not sure what Musk's agenda really is, but he seems happy to drive people away and he's put me off it. I still check in there once a week or so, but it's not a daily site for me any more. I get that we need to promote Hive on other platforms, but I never had great reach and my time is limited.

Enjoy.

You know, I’ve been skeptical, seeing as how the game has changed on Twitter. I mean hell, we don’t even call it that anymore!

I didn’t really join in on the POSH endeavor, for lack of details and followthrough on my part, but seeing you on X, and thanks to comments of others, I see the merit of cross-promotion.

I tuned in to see you grow your account in real time; I’d see a reply or two here and there. You came a long way before I realized it.

I’m in. I just suck at Tweeting regularly! How do you do it?
