Creating A Unique Discourse: Yielding Realistic Networking Returns.

20221226_062350_0000.png



One of the biggest reasons why people will subconsciously remain in ignorance is because of their inability to explore knowledge in context. Most of the time, people want you to tell them things they could perceive when all they could do is create an intuition around their perception from being exposed to the ideas of other people.

I use to refrain from telling people to learn how to create fruitful engagement on hive because I feel that, interaction is a social skill that we subconsciously imbibe when we're constantly exposed to the fabrics of communication.

How so?

A lot of people make money from knowing how to talk, the truth is, there's no degree for learning how to communicate, broker, negotiate or persuade, some of these skills are spin-offs from degrees that think they teach people.

The truth is that it is our tentative exposure and our willingness to learn that eventually helps us to nurture communicative skills

Selling a marketing pitch is one of the most difficult things to do because it takes something special to ask people to willingly give what you want them to, Since it is a fringe skill, it is one of the most lucrative skills that make waves on the internet.

Let's digress further into hive, sometimes you wonder why the engagement skills of some people remain the same irrespective of the exposure they're getting on the most altruistic and sophisticated social space on the internet, hive. The main reason is that they're not dogged and aware of the prevalent social vices that are relevant here.

Social vices are becoming too relevant to ignore

But, it's even more than that

When I was on Fiverr back in the day, I was so focused on getting my first gig, I didn't take time to survey the space to see if I could perceive some relevancies that could bring me traction. But in reality, the art of communication is how we sell what we are, the potential we have, and the capabilities we can muster. It's difficult for people to establish a financial relationship if their interaction cannot spell out their intentions.

Sometimes business interactions create even bigger excitement than the prospective money that might be made from such business. For example, I was talking to a friend I met here, we were talking about a business prospect, however, the only reason why we could even do that was that we exceeded the restrictions.

Sophisticated Interactions, Builds Endless Possibilities

We transcended from being fellow hive faithful to prospective business partners and the only we could have done this was through seamless interactions. Before we could even sell any business pitch to one another, we underwent the process of discovery, this is why how I'd know if he's someone who dreams big, his financial ideologies and this was a way he could understand mine as well.

What I mostly notice on hive is that some people place communication wedges in front of their doors of opportunities, they kill the chances of creating networking opportunities with their pattern of engagement, making their growth stunted and limited to "upvotes" alone. This means when some people create content, they do not see this as a social vice to reach potential friends, business partners, and whatnot

Rather they limit these contents as a tool for earning money alone, forgetting that the potentialities of these contents can be limitless depending on how we want it to be

Money is fleeting

The endgame should be more divine

The right discourse is not just to get the next upvoter or the next support, but to create a potential friend. Creating discourse to target only votes creates a "hand-to-mouth" phenomenon, but some people subconsciously do this without knowing that they're doing this.

There was a day I went to the market to buy groceries, on walking into the shop, I smiled at the attendant, a lovely lady, after some off-business interactions, she offered to sell the goods to me even lower than she normally would. Now I could potentially buy cheaper goods for a long period, because of the simple discourse we've created that hardly even involved business. If I check the prospective discount I'll be getting for that period, I would be saving a lot of money in the process

Creating The Knack For Bigger Conversations

The concept is, we have to understand the subtlety in creating bigger conversations beyond the initial reason for discourse, this is one of the ways to build organic networking.

For example, people make the mistake of heading into a post and repeating everything the content owner has said, some others write zombic replies with lifeless interaction possibilities, and others just engage based on reluctance because they've been told it's the pathway to growing their accounts. When these narratives don't change, it's difficult for your networking efforts to yield any realistic returns.

It is all here right before us, the opportunities, I think are we mostly focused on the rewards on our posts side alone, looking beyond that and forming friendships with potential business partners could open up doors of opportunities we never expected.

There's an important message in this content worth taking to help improve upon our interaction on Hive in the coming year.

I remember we started the podcast based on the friendship we have here. I think it was over two years we already started planning for it and eventually we got there. Now we have it even more than we planned and it worked. There's a lot we can actually do here and I think that's one thing we should pay attention to.

Absolutely Jose, forming collaborations is part of the many things we can do on Hive, I have been brainstorming what else can I do lately either by myself or trough collaborations, the possibilities are limitless.

Hmm, many needed to see this post actually not even about reputation because that doesn't guarantee if the person will actually know how to communicate and form bond on the platform, you have said a lot in the post and I see that some of it are talking to some part of me also😄. Thanks for sharing this post and this might change the perspective of many

Haha, well this is basically what everyone can learn from. Even as I'm going back to read from this again, I tend to learn again and again after reading. It basically shows that communication within this chain creates bigger opportunities even beyond this chain. So I basically think it's why we should subconsciously improve and do better.

Yes o communication within this chain actually create big opportunity beyond and I can testify to that

Upon finishing this post, I remembered Dale Carnegie's book: How to Win Friends and Influence People. I feel you know this book, if not at least read it, with the insights you have shared on building networks.

I saw a typical example of one of Dale's methods on networking and getting positive yields from people by "looking beyond the moment" in the scenario with you and that attendant. Just an intentional friendly interaction with the other party in the midst of business can do a whole lot, just like it did for you. See the potential long term gain you have made.

It is needless to say that without putting oneself in a position that's receptive to bigger gains, one may continue to struggle for long.

Nowadays, I try to converse intentionally and purposefully, and in a manner that could spur the other party into being interested; basically "engaging them." It's not always directly easy to do, but my method is this:

Be very well interested in the other party's perspective as well as you are interested in putting yours on the table. It'll open up possibilities for co-creation.

With these insights you have shared, I have gone to dig up that book by Dale and I am going to read it again.

Happy holidays, man.

I haven't read this book, but I like to think some of the experiences I've had in life will corroborate most of the ideologies of Dale. I think on hive we tend to focus on the one-time engagement for the one-time goal rather than targeting the engagement to hit multi-purposes.

Networking is indeed a skill, I cannot count how many times in business I have digressed from business into other forms of relationship and back again.

I think hive offers beyond what we have. If offers beyond what we're willing to see, it offers even what we dare to think about. For example now, I remembered a friend sending me cameras from overseas and I actually met them here, I've taught some people and they've in turn taught me.

We can choose to turn this place to everything we want and it can be due to our networking skills. Sometimes, we have to leave the contents and focus on something different that would be what we truly want to achieve, while focusing on building this place as well. I think we can achieve a win-win situation.

Happy new year in advance my man.

Networking is a skill, and like every other one, it has to be developed to reap bountiful harvests over it.

Hive is a big place for so much. The possibilities are vast and limitless. To see this and leverage on the opportunities would be bullseye.

It's not all about the content indeed. The brilliant minds to become intertwined with should be the goal. The content is more like an avenue for building the networks.

I believe we can build in this space and it'll be a win-win situation for everybody.

Yeah, it's why I try to encourage people to see beyond the content and the money, it's only the beginning to even bigger opportunities here. There are so many. I've seen a Nigerian Cartoonist here that collaborated with a foreign writer and now they've published a book together, so it's endless.

Oh, wow. They published a book together? I'm stunned!

I am looking to grow here. So, I trail the footsteps of those that can enlighten me on how to do that efficiently.

One of the best skills a man could have is knowing how to interact with people, I realize some people don’t know how to do this but it is very good to have this skills because men bless men

Exactly, sometimes I think a lot of people tend to underrate what it means to have communicative skills. It's very important in our life and journey..

The opportunities are there and there is a social component to everything that happens on Hive. Sure money is also a motivating reason and I think connections really do matter. Before Hive, I was someone who didn't engage much and was a silent consumer. However, I see that engaging does help on any social media whether it be Youtube, Hive, or other platforms.

Engagement and networking is important in all the social spaces on the internet. Even in places like Twitter, you'll need to actually show up and have a strategy to grow to actually grow though. It's the same with hive, only that hive requires more intentionality.

You're definitely right on point when I first got here I knew interaction was a very big key to understanding what is going on...

As an addicted learner I know to go fast enough I had to build my social and communication skills with those ahead of me ... unfortunately many do not realize this as a very necessary tool in all works of life..

Thank you for such an amazing write up .. it's indeed shades more light in this aspect which most of us seems to ignore..

Networking and seamless interactions is generally how we accomplish a lot in life, this also extends to hive as well. It's even more sophisticated here because there are people who have done it and we'd have to take time to watch and learn and even cultivate our own skills. I'm glad you're learning too.

Throughout my staying here on hive, I have always been this kind of person that don't know how to keep good communication skills, but just recently, I discovered the key. It is awesome.

I discovered that freely creating good contents naturally brings audience, so I focus more on that now, and always respond to comments on time.

Your contents are always great @josediccus , merry Christmas🤍

There's nothing like intentional self discovery about how to do things here. People who focuses on building for the long run eventually finds out how to do their thing. There's no place like hive on the internet, we can choose to go home or go hard.

When I was on Fiverr back in the day

Oh you did gigs on fiver? I created an account and got discouraged right out because I didn't know how it worked talkless of getting a gig. I found it in a google search and no one around me was successful in it or eve heard about it at the time so I just gave it up due to a lack of motivation.

Sometimes you see really comments on your post and you can tell that the person didn't read the post. Probably just looked at the title and assumed this would be what the post is about. It's like they just leave the comment for the sake of commenting. I find it really difficult to respond to comments of that nature because I don't know how to reply.

Networking is underrated fr. I've made so many friends here that I really look forward to meeting in real life.

Yeah I was on Fiverr back in the days. I did a gig or two of which those guys failed to pay me. So I left the network. Scammy people everywhere then.

I used to scold people for those type of comments, but I stopped doing so, what I do was to majorly ignore them. This way, I feel they'll get the info and decided to change. Engagement for just engaging sake is terrible, when you can actually decide to achieve a lot more with your engagement.

It's the same, I've met some of the best people here and even the person I'm hoping to marry, I'll met them here..I've made the best of friends as well, even more than in real life and we've accomplished quite a lot together.

This was also one of the reasons my stay was short-lived. Because I didn’t understand anything about how you get paid and whether or not you actually will get paid.

For the issue with the comments, I think I’m just going to start ignoring those type of comments now. Because my blood boils when I see them. I’d much rather you didn’t comment at all than to just leave something everyone can clearly tell from that you didn’t read the post.

In other news, I look forward to your meetup with star and your boys. Give us all the gist tomorrow😂

It was all new to me and I learnt how it worked. I found out about it from a crowdsourcing website I used to work on back then and it didn't work out. The people there didn't want to pay.

In other news, I look forward to your meetup with star and your boys. Give us all the gist tomorrow😂

Hahaha I think it's going to be an iconic day tomorrow, the last meetup was in April.
