I'm not sure what anyone meant by that comment, but I do feel people think we're focussing too much inwards. If we could become more visible - as people and a community and crypto project - 'outside' we might attract new people. So I believe it's not really about pushing our posts on outside social media, but about gaining a following outside of Hive and outside the Hive community and THEN it makes a difference if we share our posts.
Currently I'm afraid most of us share posts on Twitter but mostly to our 'own people' - most of us are no influencers :')
It can't rrslly work that way for most content as building a following on twitter is a different animal than creating for HIVE. I see plenty of people with decent twitter followings getting less engagement on their tweets than my content does.
Perhaps if I made a sex tape...
It definitely is. It's a complicated game and I haven't found the perfect recipe yet.
Please do that. I'll retweet it to my 184 followers \0/
Boom!
Oh, and becoming an influencer on Hive shouldn't really require having to be an influencer on other platforms first, should it? Perhaps I should follow Jerry's example ;D
Well, indeed, Jerry is the exact example of what I meant: he was 'famous' already and I still encounter people who re-introduce themselves on Hive writing about how they onboarded on Steem because they were following him and he told them about Steem :D
Very few of those who came through him made it past him though - the survivors are rare.
This is one approach for sure but I think if the tweet was topical, tagged right, and catchy enough, it could gain some momentum and pull some people over for a look?
But yes, I think we are sharing tweets mainly to Hive people In the main, although Taraz’s numbers are
more than our weekly top level post authors at times.
This is a valuable point you make, we are pretty much all in this same bubble, be it in other platforms too. Someone needs to get thousands of normie followers on twitter and IG and then promote their Hive content to them.
Exactly :-) We have too few of those on Twitter - for now.
My personal belief is, that it must be other people who are sharing our posts because they find the content educational or entertaining and not ourselves.
Yes, another important point. If we can make content others want to share (like Medium) we're a big step further then we currently are.
I hope eventually we will get there. The sooner the better of course :)
