I have been giving a lot of thought to the promotion of Hive, not only for the reasons you mentioned, but also because, at this juncture, I find it difficult to perceive any tangible benefits in sharing my content on other social media platforms (with the exception of Twitter). However, I have been doing it consistently in order to promote myself and my content, as I want people to be aware of what I'm doing. Nevertheless, I often feel like I'm going at it alone.

What I believe is that this is the most effective way to promote Hive, yet it seems that hardly anyone is actually doing it. I have a bunch of friends from Hive on Facebook and other social media platforms, but I rarely see them sharing their content in their feeds. Even @dimeilaz, who has been on my friends list long before we embarked on this journey, isn't doing it. This begs the question: why? Perhaps there is no real incentive to do so, considering that we don't receive visible engagement or monetary rewards from people outside of Hive.

We have the means to measure the number of visitors to our content, and this could serve as a reference to gauge someone's popularity. Eventually, it becomes evident if someone is garnering attention from beyond Hive, and such recognition should be acknowledged.

Rather than confining ourselves to a niche, we can position Hive as the platform for the next generation of prominent content creators. Individuals like Ilaz himself have the potential to become well-known creators on other social media platforms if they choose to pursue that path. I have witnessed Ilaz's attempts to establish a presence on YouTube, which, while not the optimal choice, indicates that, like me, he is not in a hurry. After all, we are already generating income.

Therefore, I propose that we prioritize website visits. Creators should be made aware that sharing their posts on any social media platform can lead to larger upvotes. Let's cultivate genuine popularity for Hive by encouraging people to promote themselves. Ultimately, this is about individuals pursuing their own goals, but we, as a community, stand to benefit from each and every one of us.

I'm making a video about this. We really need a forum about this matter.
