Time as The Best Free (+Incentivized) Educational Asset in Hive - How We Can Use It for Engagement, Retention and Advocacy
Hi!
I want to write this article about donating time. How it is for me and how it can be done inside and outside Hive ecosystem for newcommers and still un-adapted peers like me.
- a liquid imagination I have done 2-3 days ago
There is a constant need to be actively there for people who come in Hive and find it hard to adapt or to be constant. And I have been having both of these issues for my first year in Hive...for almost 2 years. And not because I am lazy, but because I felt to stupid to write something clever, or to tired of searching imfor info that would have helped me to use the environment better. Articles are great, but we can do more.
Please, take a bit of time and read about this "asset" we all own.
Donating time is something deeply meaningful to me. Yes, it can take minutes or hours, but I'm giving a piece of myself – my knowledge, skills, care. For me, donating time means connecting with others in a way that goes beyond words.
I've had the privilege of donating my time on several occasions, but two experiences more signifiant. The first was when I volunteered to teach basic agricultural concepts to a group of eager learners in my community. It was incredible to see their eyes light up as they absorbed new knowledge and gained confidence in their abilities. I remember the sense of fulfillment that I had...and the joy.
The second experience was similar, yet unique in its own way. I volunteered to mentor a young aspiring farmer, guiding him through the strategies of sustainable farming practices. It was a weekend of shared learning and mutual respect, as we worked together to cultivate crops.
Through these experiences, I've come to understand the true power of donating time. It's a loop of giving and receiving. a transfer on both sides. I've learned as much from those I've helped as they have from me. It's a reciprocal exchange of knowledge, kindness, and humanity.
I know. Donating time isn't always easy. It requires sacrifice, dedication, and a willingness to step outside of your comfort zone. But the rewards far outweigh the challenges. There's a sense of purpose that comes from knowing you've made a difference in someone else's life ... no matter how small.
Maybe sometimes we feel divided and disconnected. And I think donating time is a reminder of our shared humanity. It's a way of bridging the gaps between us, of building connections that transcend barriers and boundaries. It's a simple yet profound act of kindness that has the power to change lives, including your own.
So, if you ever have the opportunity to donate your time, I encourage you to seize it with both hands. You never know how much of an impact you could make – on others, on yourself, and on the world around you.
I thinnk it's HIVE-TIME for us to step up and connect more with others as we guide them thorough the ecosystem.
Let me share with you how people in the Hive community can assist newcomers and less experienced individuals (like me) in adapting to this ecosystem. There are various ways we can lend a helping hand, utilizing platforms like 3Speak for videos, live streaming and live sessions on Twitter or direct Discord sessions with chat.
I think 3Speak provides an excellent platform for creating informative and engaging video content. Experienced members of the Hive community can create tutorials, guides, and walkthroughs to help newcomers navigate the platform, understand how to create content, engage with others, and earn rewards. These videos can cover topics ranging from setting up an account to utilizing different features and functionalities within the Hive ecosystem.
Live streaming (vimm.tv and possibly hivelive.me)and platforms like Twitter or Discord calls can offer real-time assistance and support to those who need it. Experienced members can host live Q&A sessions, where newcomers can ask questions and receive immediate feedback and guidance. These sessions can cover a wide range of topics, including best practices for content creation, strategies for community engagement, and tips for maximizing earnings on the platform.
Discord calls provide a more personalized and interactive experience, allowing for one-on-one or group discussions. Members can join voice channels dedicated to helping newcomers, where they can receive personalized assistance, advice, and mentorship from experienced individuals within the community. These calls can also serve as a space for networking and building connections with other members these platforms, Hive community.
We can stay on Hive and not so far from "home" and use https://beechat.hive-engine.com/chats

By leveraging s, the Hive community can create a supportive and inclusive environment where newcomers and less experienced individuals feel empowered to learn, grow, and thrive. Through informative videos, live streaming sessions, and interactive discussions, we can ensure that everyone has the resources and support they need to succeed within the Hive ecosystem.
We can even tip the ones helping us accommodate in Hive Stream developed by @bambukah, as donations can be integrated. And I remember we can vote for streaming in vimm.tv also. This is a good way to reward and incentivize the ones taking their time to teach us. I am not sure if we can tip on Twitter lives or on discord live sessions.
There is still so much to learn about Hive and I feel like I have a lot to catch up to.
Thank you so much for reading!
What do you think?
With respect,

Loved reading this, volunteering can truly be life enriching for all concerned and always a learning opportunity all around.
Indeed, Greg. And it could lead to great new connections and maybe even friendships. Newbies would feel much more included by being received and guided by someone who's already in the ecosystem. They could be feeling cared for...their presence here and not find it hard to adapt. Human-to-human :)
Agreed, I had some good help from my #cwh family, and even with that, it took me a long time to start to find my way around and learn things. I would have definitely become discouraged and given up without some hand holding. I now almost exclusively just post to Hive now. This is also most definitely a good form of kindness. I recently started a community for kindness too, and would love to incorporate helping new users into that.
Right now I'm halfway through a kindness challenge and collaboration with @dreemport, so I would not be able to even contemplate anything until after that, but it is on my radar.
Thanks again my friend.
Greg, can I have a link to your community for kindness? Thanks!
Certainly, you can reach it from whichever front end you prefer, but here is the PeakD link: https://peakd.com/c/hive-166030/created
