The main buzzword on HIVE as the biggest obstacle is onboarding! There were dozens and dozens of online (and offline) meetings where Hivians were discussing onboarding, but still, we didn't solve that puzzle... But, there is a second thing which could be even more important than the first one... As you know, nobody cares about the second, and nobody checks the second page on Google... The same goes for how to retain those people who come to HIVE! Even when we onboard people, we have a problem with retention, as many leave faster than they got here...

As I mentioned in my last show's announcement, I suck at promoting HIVE to people OUTSIDE it, but I do like to communicate with those who just came, or want to grow on HIVE... That's one of the main purposes of @Liotes, the project that I started with 
Our guest in the next show, @LivingUKTaiwan has been doing a similar, "ground" job for many years on HIVE! She was a part of many curation projects, trying to highlight people who are dedicated to the chain, who contribute with quality posts, and who engage with other Hivians... With so much experience, she decided to launch a new project named Apis Hive, with a mission of finding gems among new users and helping them to grow on the platform... The idea is simple... Create leaders who will continue "the line" and create new leaders, making the whole network stronger and bigger!
Apis Hive is an initiative designed to help small accounts (redfish) grow on Hive and support them on this journey. The target redfish are the genuine users who are active on Hive, produce original quality content and engage with the community. Most importantly, they have a long term vision to grow with Hive and are not here primarily for the rewards.

What will we talk about in the #HHHLive show? As this is @LivingUKTaiwan's first "special guesting" in the show, we will try to get into her head 😃, by knowing more about her activities on HIVE... When she joined, who were her first role models on HIVE, and how (and why) she decided to dive deeper into HIVE and take a "leap of action"?
As there are not many projects and initiatives that are working on the retention problem on HIVE, we will try to get as much as possible information about Apis Hive and how it can help an ordinary Hivian!
Before doing the show, I usually like to research my guests, but as I know @LivingUKTaiwan from previous Hive meetups, there was no need for that... But, I didn't know about the initiative that she is building... To be more authentic, I have deliberately avoided learning more about it as I would like to be in the shoes of a newbie to the project... So, the general idea is that we will learn together about the Apis Hive in the next #HHHLive show! Can't wait for it!
Oh, of course, if you would like to learn more about the initiative, you can visit its website at https://apishive.blog/, and I would suggest you follow the official Hive account of the project that you can find under the name 
The best way to get answers to your questions is to come to the #HHHLive show in the Ecency Discord server on, Wednesday, February 19, at 5 PM UTC! Mark your calendar and set up your alarm! ⏰
How was the last show? We had a very nice turnout in the show and it was very interesting, as almost nobody left it until the very end... The truth is that we went a bit off-topic, but we did talk about the things that were important for the participants... Our main focus is always to help out newbies on HIVE and to share our experiences... Just like our guest's initiative is aiming to do! If you missed the show, you can check out the official recording and read the recap of the show!
For all the participants, there are some LEN tokens for attending the show, and some special rewards (in Ecency POINTS) for those who are the bravest and come on the voice during the show!!!
