Phase 7 - PLANNED PHASE
Different phases
- Followings are different phases of showing support to Hive Community Members.
- I have been distributing Ecency points for very long
- It's been over a year now.
- Those who don't know, here is the link when I started.
- @sagarkothari88/ececny-encouragement-post-helping-others-to-grow-1-aug-2022
- I started with gifting 750 Ecency points & gifting as high as 1500 Ecency points.
- With each phase, I introduce a change in the method of distribution of Gifts.
- I believe, Now, It is time to switch to HivePower
Phase 1
- I used to select specific posts
- On those selected posts, I used to boost with Ecency Points
Phase 2
- I took help from active an curator
- He is assisting me from that time to find posts to curate & reward
- I started contacting community mods but I did not get reply initially
Phase 3
- After several attempts, I finally started received replies from community mods.
- I co-ordinated with community mods about Ecency Points distribution.
- I discussed with other community members like
,
,
,
for feedback on this method.
Phase 4
- I started distributing to different contest winners on different communities
- For manually distributing points, I built a basic discord-bot command
- I took help from
again to distribute points using that discord bot.
Phase 5
- I was distributing Ecency points to the authors picked by Community moderators
- For these, I've built a bot based on hive-notifications.
- My bot reads all the notifications.
- It filters the mentions - notifications
- If it's having a valid points distribution comment from selected community mods, bot will gift the the points to the author picked by community moderator.
Phase 6 - CURRENT PHASE
- I am distributing Ecency Points, as well as, Hive Power Up to community members.
- With this, each community admin can decide what to reward.
- E.g.
is using Hive Power as rewards distribution.
- E.g.

What else?
- On top of distributing points, I also follow curation trails of all of these communities
- To extend even more support - to some of the communities, I've also delegated some HP
- I will also update My Comments to accept beneficiaries
- and set above listed communities as beneficiaries on those comments
You may ask - WHY?
- Growth of Hive is only possible - TOGETHER
- I want more & more people to join Hive.
- Joining is first step - next step is to keep Hive Members motivated to keep contributing, stay invested, stay engaged.
- With my own set of ideas, I came up with these approaches to motivate community members & help communities grow.
