How many times did you ever think to leave Hive and stop visiting here because of so many reasons on your list? It's like no one is paying attention to your article, and you feel ignored. Or, the Hive token price is too low and you are not even earning much here, so you feel unmotivated? As for me, I thought of stopping so many times, but only to rest and not for good. I still have a lot of reasons to stay here, so I chose to stay.
Anyways, this is my entry for Ladies of Hive Community Contest #117 and I chose Scenario #1 to answer. And thank you 
A reputation 52 friend says that she no longer wants to be active in Hive, claiming that she can't make the time, the coin is so low valued, and only a few people ever read her posts. What could you do to encourage and help her to keep trying? Writing tips? Time management? Other?
Ohoo, these reasonings that were mentioned above, I experienced them too. So I know the feeling. And I am currently experiencing that low price of Hive. It is far from when I first joined here. At that time, it was at $0.45+; just look at their difference now.
Doesn't have time to spend on Hive? Ohoo, I know that too; I've already experienced that. And I can say that it is hard to maintain two blogging platforms. Been there, done that. It is hard, but I was able to make things work. Everything will work fine if you really want it.
Few people reading my post? Hah! I know that feeling. And you are not alone on that matter. Everyone is experiencing that here. But everything is perfectly fine at my end. Why? Because I want my account to grow here, so I work hard to earn it.
So, those are the problems I experienced here before. And, if ever a friend is currently experiencing this, I will just give them these few suggestions that I know can help them. And I also have to ask if they still want to try Hive if there's a solution to their problem.
The Hive price today will not stay this low forever. It will go up, for sure. But with the current price today, this is actually a chance for us, bloggers. It is low, yes, but this is our chance to accumulate more Hive tokens so that, when the time comes and Bull Run starts, we have stocked enough Hive in our wallet. We can ride on the hype of the Pump for every token. Imagine Hive reaching a new all-time high and you already have 1000 Hive through blogging.
You can gain more from it. Your 1000 Hive Tokens at the current price of $0.3539 will give you $353.9 today. But if it pumps and hits $5, surpassing the all-time high from 2021, which is $3.44, then your $353.9 will grow and make it to $5000. Just imagine what the future is. For sure, you will not use all of your hard-earned money here, right? Just imagine the price of Hive in the future. That, I think, is enough to continue your journey here on Hive.
I know this doesn't have enough time, or even if you want to write but don't have a topic. And in the end, you will just leave and succumb to laziness. But you know, in every problem like this, there is always a solution. You have to find it on your own. Well, only if you really want to do this.
I want to do this so badly. That is why, even if I have a lot in my hand, I still make sure to spend a little time here. Well, I decided to do this thanks to my virtual friends. I got inspired, so I pushed myself to do this. Writing an article will take time, but that's okay; that's why we have "drafts."
If you can't finish it today, then write when you have the time. One article a week is not that bad. As long as you are writing your own content, which you think deserves attention, personal blogging is the best option here. Write and polish it before you hit the publish button. You can do that, right?
You need to do a few things for other users to notice your article. Visit the homepage, pick some articles to read, and leave a comment. INTERACTION! That's what you need to do. How are you going to make them notice you if you are not doing anything to let the other users here know of your existence?
Spending a few minutes here is enough to do that. Reading 5 to 7 articles is enough to do that. That, I think, will not take all of your time. Don't hit and run, like you'll just publish your work and that's it. No, you should spread darkness in the comment section. Let them know that you exist in Hive.
With that, you can gain new friends or followers, whatever you want to call them. Then you successfully get a new audience to check on your article every time you publish it. Easy right? That's how I got to where I am now. I spend time, and now Hive is giving me a lot. I am happy, and everybody is happy.
Encouraging a friend through this will give us both the happiness that only Hive can give to us. If ever they decide to stay and continue their journey here, I'll be very happy. I just don't want them to regret it if they leave and decide to come back later.
It is maybe not too late to start again, but how about the time that has been wasted, if ever? But in the end, it is still up to them. So, if ever someone who's planning to leave is reading this right now, I suggest that you think first before you stop. Ciao.
