Hi I’m 
and I’d like to formally introduce the Hive community to my new project, 
.
Hive People is a newly launched project that is focused on Hive onboarding, communication, collaboration with Hive dApps & Communities, social media marketing, art, graphics, tutorials and video production. We are driven by the ethos of Creative Commons and open source, so our work can be freely used, remixed and shared.
As new needs within Hive emerge, Hive People can pivot to meet those needs. Right now, I see Hive onboarding as the major roadblock, and therefore, most of my efforts will be focused on collaboration with 
Hive People has already been doing work for the Hive ecosystem, but until now, no formal article has been written. I’d like to focus on what Hive People has already accomplished, and also frame the future in terms of concrete goals and themes.

ONBOARDING & TECH SUPPORT
On Twitter, Hive People has onboarded and helped many new users. I haven’t kept track of the numbers, but people are now reaching out asking for help with new accounts and other Hive issues. We’ve also delegated some HP to new users.
BRANDING

Marketing is useless unless you know exactly who you want to reach. I've been thinking a lot about the kinds of people that Hive attracts, and I think the thing we all have in common is this:
We all want control over our own data, and we don't like censorship.
There are a ton of people right now who are being demonetized, censored and silenced. Even entire communities, like rowdy youths, Natural Medicine groups and intellectuals are being silenced. The graphics and art I've created so far is targeting people who are pissed off at the current state of the internet. That group is growing huge.
Those are the people we are targeting, so we can build an even bigger and stronger collective here on Hive.
As we grow, we can market to more mainstream people, but right now the timing couldn't be more perfect to attract those who are looking for real alternatives to Facebook, Youtube and even Twitter. A tight-knit, impassioned group of individuals who support each other is powerful. It's what Hive is, even now.
We have unity (for the most part, but it's not all roses if you've been flagged by a whale) because we have been attacked, and that unity can expand outwards. Will it be perfect? Of course not. We are dealing with humans, lol. But this is the reason I decided to keep the bloody fist logo, and also the reason the people in these posters look a bit determined. We need determined people right now. And I hate corporate branding, mindsets and marketing. I think what makes the world interesting is unique art, and different perspectives. We don't want to be something we're not, so that is why I won't be creating milque toast campaigns.

CREATED HIVE MARKETING COMMUNITY:
We saw a great need to create a Hive Marketing working group, so we created a community. If you have marketing, branding or SEO experience, or you just have some great ideas for a social media campaign, join the group and add your voice.

The Hive Beginner Tips Community is a place where you can find a lot of tutorials and guides.
Plans for Near Future
Once the referral system gets rolled out on hiveonboard.com, we want to work with marketing people to develop a social media campaign, aimed at onboarding new people to Hive. Once the campaign is over, it will be fully analyzed and revealed to determine its effectiveness.
How You Can Help
Hve is an amazing place that the world doesn’t know about. Here are 3 things you can easily do to change this:
In your Hive profile, put this in the website section: https://hiveonboard.com/
(The referral system hasn’t rolled out yet, but when it does, you’ll put your own referral link there) But for right now, you can help new people easily create a new Hive account by adding that link there.Send personal messages to all your friends who were on Steemit, and let them know that Hive is a big improvement. Make sure and give them the https://hiveonboard.com/ link if they lost their Steem keys.
Introduce your friends to the different Hive communities.
In closing I want to give a huge shoutout to
Follow
Cheers,
Hive People
