I read a publication from 
When I joined and was enjoying my stay on the chain, I invited many people that also understand blockchain technology, and people that I know are consistent, but out of this people, only two are still actively using Hive till this point. I tried to pull the people that left-back here, but they seemed to have lost interest.
There are sure many things to explain to beginners on the Hive blockchain, but I realized it will be too much for some people to understand everything, talking about the RC, voting power, Hive token, HBD, and the rest. However, I chose a method of starting with the basic. I only focus more on telling new users on how to manage their keys, RC and tokens. Telling them about everything about the chain will overwhelm, and some might feel. “This isn’t for someone like me”.
Recently, I got more people on Hive as I see the love and support here. I created an account for 
Here they are:
Guide—Answer all their questions
We all know that beginners will have a lot to ask. If they do not have someone to ask everything, they may get frustrated. So, whenever they need support. I make my discord DM open for them to ask any question, and I ensure I give them a simple and clear answer.
Something I try to use a simple analogy to get things clear for them. For instance, when I was telling them how to manage their keys, I said, “you master key/password is the key to the main gate of your house when you lost it you can’t climb your fence, and you will lose all access into your building. You can use your master key to open your flat front door (posting key), and your room (active key), then you keep your master key in a very safe place,”. This is just to make them understand properly.
Check their write-ups
This isn’t always easy, but when you invite someone here and you truly want the person to stay longer, pay some sacrifices like this. Some times when
Like, comment and re-blog there post
This I often do. I make sure I re-blog, like and comment on most of their posts. This is just to make them feel that they are not alone. The support, fun and encouragement do more than the $ that might be on the post.
Give them topics to write about
Sometimes, they ask me for topics on things to write. First, I asked for their aspect of interest and told them to build on it. Also, I often give them random topics and things they can write about it. This will make them consistent even when they feel they are out of things to write.
Be consistent and never focus on votes
This is one thing that gets people out of the blockchain. When they check on the trending and they see $300 on some publications, they feel down like “why am I not getting value like this?” This has caused many people to leave the blockchain. Some will even compare their publication that it is better than those on the trending. The key, I used for these people is very simple. “The people on the trending are like you. Their consistency for year drove them there”. You could be better. Also, post for value and fun. Never focus on the $.
Be friendly and interact with other community members
Interaction is the key to know people on all social media channels, and Hive is not an exception. I send them publication to read and interact.
Conclusion
So, keeping people here is not pretty easy. Only consistent people will start active here. We all have the responsibility of building this blockchain, and we should give genuine support to each other. I call Hive a blockchain of love and support. Let’s make it work.
