Good day Hive & LeoFinance Community
With today's post I wanted to thanks a couple of friends here on Hive and show you a little bit of Hive Marketing I did with the help of my brother in London in the past few days
I wanted first to thank these 2 friends because my Hive adventure would not have been the same without them and also because the whole Marketing Idea I'm going to show you here is an idea by
, I will explain more in the post!
Few months ago when I first signed up here on Hive I found extremely helpful this post by and the guide by
linked in the English version of the post, it definitely gave me the understanding on which build the foundation for my Hive adventure, I want first of all to thank both of you guys for the great work you are doing and the help you are providing with it! Thanks
I connected with both users and I'm very grateful for it. I like to think of them as friends that I have here on Hive! 😎
is the classic "do-it" man that simply gets shit done, since joining on Hive he has been adding value to this platform in an incredible way and I wanted to congratulate him personally for the great work! Big Up Bro!
He has seen so much shit in his life and it looks like he learned a lot from every experience, kudos to all of his achievements!
And he's a bit of a nerd gamer like me so we clicked immediately, always a pleasure to exchange some comments with you my friend! Greetings
is Polish like me and we have this great UK-Poland connection going on that is simply great! Pozdrawiam 🇬🇧🇵🇱
He's pretty active on the polish side on Hive with on-boarding and helping people as well as using the platform to blog about his life, I guess we can all learn something from and his attitude towards Hive! Big Up Bro!
Let's get back to the Marketing side of the post:
After reading that great post by and that great guide by
I felt like I had everything figured out, I did not have any problem to fit in and I started using Hive and meeting people from all over the world! Best platform ever, fuck FB, fuck IG, LFG HIVE! (sorry for my french lol)
After a bit this post came up on my feed list and I really loved the idea that I immediately connected with on Twitter and I bought some of the magnets he makes, you can check more about them here, here if you're Polish and the most recent here!
I think this is a great idea to spread around the word of Hive and the fact that those are just magnets sticking them around the city is not vandalism, they can be removed just as easy as they can be placed, petty much on any metallic surface! +1 Point here for you 😎
I thought initially to do something like 's post with a nice introduction to Hive to whoever would scan the QR Code, but then I thought that I'm a bit too new and still not too knowledgeable about the ecosystem so maybe I'll skip this one for now, so I proceeded to order only the HIVE magnets without the QR Code.
Some sort of mistake happened and sent me 50% Hive magnets and 50% QR Code magnes linking to his post, and even though if initially I was pissed about it (because that clearly was not what we agreed upon and what I paid for) I then calmed down and realised that maybe it's for the best, so I will shill your post bro
and I'm happy to do so because if that post helped me to start on Hive then it can help everyone else! I changed my mind and now I am glad you did that mistake and sent me 50/50 Hive/QR Code, Cheers!
Long story short I got the magnets and quickly they arrived in the post, I wanted to go around the city and take some great Skyline London pictures with Hive magnets in the background and shill Hive around London and then show off my marketing work here on Hive, then months went by, so much shit happened in this year that at some point I even completely forgot I had those magnets with me!
Then I had the best idea ever, I do have a younger brother that goes out much more than me and has definitely more chance to stick those magnets around, I gave him a quest, dropped him 10 magnets (10 Hive and 10 QR Codes) and told him to drop them around but in cool places and to take some good pictures! He's the man, not even a week after he contacts me to send me the pictures he took, I was so happy with the result and the timing that I had immediately to craft this post to show you guys the beginning of this little side marketing hobby we have to drop magnets around, in Poland, me and my bro in UK, who's next and where are you gonna contribute from? 😎
Check out the pics of the start pf our little UK Hive Marketing Campaing:
Obviously this is just a little start of what we really want to do, but I just wanted to show you how we started, 2 locations and 4 pics for now!
They are on the same bridge but it's quite a busy bridge so pretty cool start!
Now we will continue dropping magnets and taking cool shots and when we will have more material I will craft another Hive Marketing post with much more pictures and spots, something like did in this post I mentioned right at the beginning of my post!
Both me and my bro think this is the best picture he took, so cool with the HIVE magnets on focus and The Shard blurred in the background, some sick Hive Vibes from this picture!
Same spot but this time he inverted the focus, Magnets blurred and The Shard on focus, and how cool is that building? 😎
The poject's architect is an italian guy, Renzo Piano! Italy representing in UK! 🇮🇹
2nd spot, you can see that we are on the same bridge but we have a different cool London typical background with the Tower Bridge this time!
Same 2nd spot but with the same trick as before, focus inverted on the background now!
I guess I could have used a bit of Photoshop and mix the 2 pictures together in one to have a cool effect where we have everything on focus but then I decided to show you both pictures and I think the pics with the blurred background are pretty cool, not as cool as the one with the background on focus IMHO, so I think the Photoshop here could make it worse rather than better!
Final Thoughts
I do have quite a lot of these magnets and as soon as my bro finished the 10 I gave him I will definitely drop him some more.
Unfortunately he is not on Hive, otherwise I would have set him as 100% beneficiary of this post, but rest assured that I will give him back something IRL for the help he is giving me in this little Marketing side gig!
Now that my bro started I have to stop procrastinating and being lazy and actually start to drop around some of these magnets myself as well! Maybe I can drop some to my girlfriend too 😋
Why I like them? Like I already mentioned in the post they are a great way to spread the Hive word around without incurring in any vandalism!
I also think that if someone is prompted to scan a QR Code that says Social Blockchain he/she will definitely like what she/he finds in the post and probably will have a look at Hive, maybe 9 will not even sign up but if the 1 signs up then our job can be said to be successful!
1 Good active user is much better than 9 fake/spammy/rewardschasing bitches (sorry for the french again lol I like french, what can I do? LOL)I want to see this a great collaboration with my Polish friend, an official
