LeoFinance is an active community here on Hive, thanks to its userbase (albeit still small) is continually bringing value to the ecosystem through their on-chain activities (posting, engaging with others, making threads on a consistent basis) etcetera and of course to the developers who continue to build even during the tough times.
Promoting the LeoFinance Ecosystem
We may have read on previous occasions that there are just about 500 daily active users in the frontend and obviously, we need a lot more. The developers are hard at work for the infrastructures and we have to increase our numbers and get more users to benefit from all the features and applications that they are building.
More active users would mean more contents created, increased activities, engagements and transactions. That means growth in the community which consequently result to a lot more eyeball to contents, more ad revenues and perhaps investors too (on and off chain). And that is definitely good to the LEO ecosystem and to Hive as a whole.
But how do we help spread the word about LeoFinance Ecosystem?
Different ways, some might even be doing it traditionally - through word of mouth, sharing to friends and families although most times our effort often turn futile. But we do have other options, re:
Using Web 2.0 social media, i.e. Twitter (Post Sharing)
Twitter is undeniably one of the busiest Web 2.0 platforms and it is a good place to discreetly promote LeoFinance (or Hive) to other people. If you are aware of the Post Sharing (POSH) initiative by acidyo through
, it is one of the best ways to introduce LeoFinance to others outside of the Hive blockchain or even to those who are already here but are still unaware of the LeoFinance ecosystem.
Based on the analytics of my other page, the LeoFinance posts shared on the social media were able to attract a collective 24 unique visits in the previous month. Not much since I only have 1k+ followers on Twitter so how much more with those that have a lot and those who actively engage on the platform?
By using the products under the LeoFinance umbrella, writing about them, then sharing them on Web 2 social media (Twitter)
Speaking from previous personal experience, I was not aware of the LeoFinance frontend (let alone the Leoverse products) until I read something about it through another person's post and that was when I started to delve more into the community and came to stay.
I'm pretty sure there are many others out there who might be the same and still clueless about what LeoFinance is or what it is doing.
Mentioning about LeoFinance or its products and features on post comments or replies where they are related.
It is not spamming when we do it where opportunity calls for it or when we are commenting or replying on related articles.
I've do this from time to time and although there is no statistics as to how effective it can be, I think it works to some extent as it piques one's curiosity and interest at some point.
Linking in LeoGlossary keywords on our posts.
TM has been doing a great deal of work with LeoGlossary and we can help by linking in the terms to our posts. There may not be instant impact but it's a good start and will be good for the SEO in the long run.
And it can also attract traffic to our own posts (or that of others) from different search engines like Google. The screenshot below shows the 1 month visits to my LeoFinance posts. I've been adding LeoGlossary terms (links) to them ever since the inception of the resource center.
I do encourage others to keep including not less than 5 LeoGlossary links to your posts and let's help LeoFinance (and Hive) in the SEO ranking.
Writing about our experiences here on the community and then sharing the links on Web 2.
This might sound very cliché but with many people who are still in the lookout for legit ways to earn or make money online, a properly and truthful post on how we are enjoying this blockchain-based social media and monetizing our contents at the same time, who knows we might be able to encourage and entice some to come aboard.
Inviting other Hive users into the community through initiatives like the LEO&HODL challenge.
This is also one of the methods to let others know about some of the activities that are happening here in the LeoFinance community. Been skipping this in the past but I resolve to do differently.
And speaking of, let me take this chance to call on my new engagement partners on the other frontends to come join us here too:
,
and
. You can start with threads guys.
Strongest Side of LeoFinance in SocialFi
Apart from being in the Hive blockchain where we have full control over our accounts and data, we can also monetize our contents (both long-form and short-form) while we stay connected, learning from other users about many things too, re: opportunities, crypto projects, investing strategies among other things.
It also introduce additional investment or earning opportunities off chain through its DeFi platforms (CubFinance, Polycub) and through its weekly roundtable (ChainChatter) with different project founders.
Its founder (Khal) is actively engaging and curating, making his presence felt, giving updates too on where the project is heading.
What Makes LeoFinance Different?
It keeps building products that are useful not only to its userbase but also to the Hive ecosystem (re: Multi-Token Bridge for instance which enables the movement of assets between Hive and other networks like Polygon and BSC.
The community which is relatively small but usually active onchain and also in investing in the other projects in the Leoverse ecosystem, as evidenced by the growth in the MTB revenues reports.
Threads
We know that not everyone likes to read or write long-form contents and this is where Threads come in. It allows people to microblog or post short contents and engage too in lesser amount of time.Add to that, threads is not limited to crypto, finance and investing topics but is open to any subject which is welcoming to people with different interests. And being able to monetize short-form contents is a plus.
In Conclusion
LeoFinance is a builder I have no doubt it will keep doing so and may even come up with other applications in the future. We need to have more users and we can help promote it with our own ways, some I have mentioned above.
Personally, I will continue with what I've been doing - posts sharing via Twitter, mentioning LeoFinance and its products or apps on comments and replies especially to those on the other frontends. Will also keep adding LeoGlossary links on my posts and comments. Hope you do too and let's grow along with this amazing community.
