Over time I have read a lot about how to make LeoFinance and HIVE grow in the future. While some say that the SEO of these platforms must be strengthened, others say that it is only a matter of time before these platforms grow and become globally important, to the point of being like the largest social networks today.
Warning:
What you are going to read below is my understanding of everything that is happening with HIVE and LeoFinance since its inception, and I don't give a bleech if anyone thinks everything I am going to mention is good or bad, correct or incorrect. This is what I've been seeing for a long.
The nitty-gritty here
We all know that HIVE and LeoFinance are revolutionary social platforms, framed in the field of cryptocurrencies and Web 3.0; and both things have a great future ahead; but the problem is that time passes, and we do not see significant growth in either of them.
Because it is obvious that the growth of HIVE and LeoFinance have a symbiotic relationship with the growth of user accounts who frequently write on them. For this reason, it is impossible for one thing to occur without the other.
However, we see over time that there are many people who are writing quality posts on these platforms (and they do so frequently), who are not getting any reward for their posts. Now, according to simple logic this can be due to one of two things, on the one hand this speaks to the weakness of HIVE and LeoFinance as little-known social platforms that they still are, because it indicates that large accounts lack sufficient voting power to support the accounts of the minnows that are trying to feed and grow within the ecosystem.
Or on the other hand, the reality can be much worse still; because it may be that there is favoritism on the part of the large accounts (dolphins and whales) within HIVE and LeoFinance, to only support the accounts of certain people. This hurts the growth of both platforms, because it's a totally wrong approach.
The growth of HIVE and LeoFinance is supposed it must be organic and as natural as possible, and yet we see how many users who just write a post with a couple of paragraphs of text, earn tens of dollars (and even hundreds of dollars) with each publication what do they do.
We are clear that the growth of HIVE and LeoFinance as platforms and projects depend on the growth of their authors and users, and vice versa, the growth of its users will depend, in turn, on the growth of both platforms. So a behavior of favoritism towards certain accounts does little or nothing to help the progress of these platforms.
Many will say that getting rewards for our posts require from writing daily and being persistent in the interaction on these platforms, but it is not as simple as that; because it is a fact that we see that most of the accounts of people who write quality posts on a daily or almost daily basis are being barely rewarded, or completely ignored.
And it's not about being envious here; because on the contrary, the reality is that I am perfectly happy that authors who write quality posts frequently are obtaining significant and frequent rewards on these platforms; but it really disappoints me to see so many people trying hard (me included) writing posts frequently that are always ignored in the most vile way.
No, in HIVE and in LeoFinance there is no censorship, that's true, but it seems that, with their favoritism, the big accounts of the platforms have blocked the growth possibilities of whoever they don't like. I don't know, at least this is the impression that this whole situation is giving me.
Nor is it about audience creation, nor about the communities in which we publish, it is about a whole problem that is hampering the growth of these platforms and its users.
Why HIVE and LeoFinance are still not growing significantly
For all that has been said, many later complain that there is no significant growth on the part of LeoFinance and HIVE, but... How could there be? Because in addition to everything mentioned, other problems are added that I have not yet mentioned here.
Many believe that HIVE and LeoFinance are indeed growing in importance for the simple fact that there are more and more users on the platform, and for the fact that some users are being well rewarded and growing significantly. But that is not the true sign of growth to look for. Because either you grow in a sustained and constant way; according to some clear parameters, or nobody will be able to grow at all; That is a fact.
Because while it is true that the growth of the account of a user who is just starting out in HIVE and LeoFinance should take a consistent time of work, it is also true that most users do not achieve such growth.
That is why we see so many abandoned accounts on these platforms, so many that they already seem like ghost towns; because many users start writing posts on LeoFinance and HIVE and after having written and interacted on these platforms for a month or two, they fail to advance anything significantly. In view of this, they are disappointed and completely abandon any attempt to continue writing or interacting on these platforms.
I myself have been tempted to do the same, because I am very disappointed that I have been in HIVE and LeoFinance for a long time writing quality posts to get pennies in rewards or no rewards at all. And be careful, I am not on these platforms for mere economic interest, but I do want my effort to be valued and understood, and I don't feel that this is happening in this case.
Be careful, I am not being pessimistic, nor am I saying that it is not possible to make HIVE and LeoFinance grow over time, what I am really saying here is that those of us who are users of these platforms are focusing very badly on the things that can produce the growth the same. In any case, the issue is about making organic growth exist on these platforms. And more than the favoritism, which also exists and a lot, is the fact that the growth of HIVE and LeoFinance has been very poorly addressed.
Because while incentivizing users to PowerUp their earnings is a positive thing around the growth of these platforms, the focus should be primarily around SEO.
In this case, users like believe that only through internal link building will they make a platform like LeoFinance and the @LeoGlossary project grow over time; but the point is that they are forgetting something fundamental. Because while internal link building is important for SEO, external link building is even more so.
And what is the external link building in this sense? They are the links that we build or put on other social platforms or pages, or blogs, so that they point to our projects or platforms (in this case towards HIVE and LeoFinance). But be careful, external link building must be done with even greater care than internal link building, because it requires us to choose websites that have good domain authority and page authority to place the links to our projects.
What is this about?? Two things, on the one hand, when doing external link building we are bringing to LeoFinance and HIVE link juice from other websites; and on the other hand, if the website from which we are linking does not have a good reputation (authority or domain), then it would end up harming the SEO of HIVE and LeoFinance instead of benefiting it.
Another thing that I think is failing a lot at the level of growth and focus of LeoFinance and HIVE, is the fact that the posts are not well connected. That is, due to the nature of these platforms, each time we write a post, it only matters while it is active (the 7 days that the post lasts until the reward is collected or not); but after that the post becomes completely forgotten, and no one remembers it or links it or mentions it.
Something that does not happen when we have a blog or web page in which we must pay for the hosting and development of the entire project; Because in this case, we promote each article we write a lot through various means, and we link and reference it from many other posts that end up making the link juice grow at the SEO level of the entire website.
One very important thing in this whole approach is that we should always focus on making quality posts. I mean, all the posts we made should be made of quality, and when I say quality, I mean that they are "evergreen" themes or themes that are always current and important; and should always be referenced from other posts (ours and of others). This will help, together with the external link building that we do, to strengthen the SEO of these platforms.
By improving the SEO of HIVE and LeoFinance, it is a fact that both platforms will become better known, and more users will register and interact with them, and the market capitalization of HIVE and LeoFinance will increase over time, but the work To achieve this, it must be addressed in a laborious and disciplined manner by all of us who write on these platforms.
I don't know if I already have the strength or desire to achieve such a thing; In other words, I don't know if I will continue to commit to my growth on these platforms, because given the little recognition and interaction my posts receive (and beware, I'm not just talking about rewards here); I'm not very sure if I'll stop to write in HIVE and LeoFinance or not.
In any case, it is not something that I think anyone will care about; because my posts aren't generating the slightest bit of interest from anyone here, so maybe I'm just saying this to the wind.
Honestly, I hope that HIVE and LeoFinance grow over time as projects and platforms, so I hope that things improve in the future and that everything I have said in this post is taken into account by the big accounts (the accounts of whales and dolphins) on the platform.
Getting rewarded through our publications is not just about whether we make long or short posts, nor about whether we write frequently or not; Far from it, it is only about the level of interaction that we maintain with the accounts of other users on the platforms; instead it is a whole compendium of many things; and I think it also requires some luck. The fact is that I know this and now you know it too; but will we achieve success in the future with our HIVE and LeoFinance accounts?? I have no idea about it, it's the pure truth.
