Do you have a hard time bringing new people to the forum?

[Taskford]

I admit that was my goal before to bring this forum closer to the people I know so that they can also experienced the good things about it and benefit on it in the future. But when I started doing it, I realized it’s not that easy to make it happen since they will have something to say and eventually question the potentials of bitcoin and this forum so I started backing off. Instead of believing in bitcoin, they are trying to attack bitcoin instead. So that’s when I think it’s best to keep this forum to myself and just let other people witness how I prosper in life.

Relate on this and you will just feel bad about it since your intention is pure to give them opportunity to change their lives but they question you as it likes you are doing harmful to them or promoting something suspicious that's why I let go of it and decide to let people discover it and continue what I am doing. Since I find it a waste of time and effort for directing or telling this forum to wrong person and its better to focus on my personal growth since this is more worthy of my time.

But if there's someone ask about this I will still glad to answer them but will tell then the basic things they need to know and its up for them to discover the rest since that's how we can determine if they are really interested and can last long since if they quit then we already know that they are not worth to teach about bitcoin and how they can gain opportunity in this platform.

I picked myself up and proceeded and I consider that one of the best decision of my life. Today I'm more than motivated to help as many people as possible to grasp this whole things as I know the benefits are innumerable. I don't consider it enough to encourage them to read through the forum because I still remember how difficult it was for me as a newbie, so I'm challenged in my spirit that there should be an easier way to go about introducing the entire concept to newbies.  

I don't know if any of you faced this challenge, if yes, how were you able to proceed?  

Basically there is no obligation for us to direct beginners to enter the forum and there are many things that might limit people from getting involved in it. In general, we come to the forum only to look for more profit than a permanent job in the real world because the forum provides a sigcamp that can make money. But if we want to progress, we are also required to understand more things when we are involved in discussions because without us realizing it. Apart from placing the forum as a place to learn more about crypto and this industry, it also has a big influence on our life journey if used properly.

I had some newbies I didn't know directly message me through the forums and they asked me how to rank up. I try to direct them through a general path where they have to be focused, consistent and as active as possible in the forum to learn many things. So that at the right time they will understand how the forum works and what they want can be achieved in the right way.

I don't struggle with bringing new people to the forum because I am not trying to do it. New generations aren't interested in a forum culture. For every 10 people that leave Bitcointalk, I doubt we even get 1 person that signs up with an intention to stay here long-term. Throughout the years, we have seen many newbies that find the forum based on google suggestions of their Bitcoin-related problems or some other recommendations. They sign up, request help, and leave shortly after they have received what they needed. Sadly, that's how many people view forums - a place for troubleshooting different problems. You have to realize that we (the active forum folks), are a minority.

I think a lot of people are profit-oriented. Forums that can make money are also attractive. But we have to remember that many people want to make a quick profit. That can't happen on this forum. There is a process to go through, most people don't want to go through this process. So many of them give up before the fight. They even think that working here for Bounty is just an uncertain job. Some say it's better for SIgcam, but reaching the minimum requirements is very difficult.

The mindset that always wants to be instant without trying is the mindset of lazy people, many newbies say that earning money on forums is currently very difficult because of the merit regulations which only benefit senior or high ranking users. even though in the beginning we were all the same, we both started as Newbies and it took a long process. It is not easy to take part in the signature campaign because there are many requirements that must be fulfilled, especially being an active member in the forum with quite good activity.

[Woodie]

I have not even had this thought or tried  onboarding users to the forum as  this as an element of technology interests and boarders around privacy..

But I believe if I can find the forum then others who share the same interests as me(us) will for sure find this place...

And the fact that this place is a place as other companies of different industries such as gambling, bounties etc I think one way or another this place is easy to find if you are out to find something the forum harbors...

That's how it has always been, but ~15-20 years ago (which was imho golden age of internet forums) retention was much higher because people didn't have much options like they do nowadays. But yeah, those of us who prefer forums are a dying breed.

As for me, I tried to talk few good irl friends into coming back to forum or registering for the first time. Those who used to be active didn't want to come back as in their opinion bitcointalk became one big signature campaign circlejerk, while those who didn't register before checked it out a bit and concluded that nothing important happens here and instead they are focus mainly on Twitter and Telegram. In the end I gave up and I don't mention bitcointalk to anyone.

Bringing people from another platform to a completely new platform suddenly can be a challenge . Effective strategies such as marketing campaigns, creating engaging content and leveraging social media can help increase engagement and attract new users . Moreover, understanding the needs and interests of users about the features of Bitcoin and other coins can contribute to the growth of the forum .

The new TikTok-brain generations don't have the attention span to participate in a forum discussion. That's also something worth taking into consideration. They didn't grow up with a resource of information where you had to read 20-30 posts from other people before engaging normally. They don't want to do that. Their interests lie in short content with small amounts of text where a tweet is the perfect length. Attention-grabbing headlines, a few pictures or a video and that's it.

[Peanutswar]

Even though the agenda is good you cannot please every time the people to adopt the use of Bitcoin, you are just wasting your time, just make an introduction to them to the people who caught their attention with the crypto or Bitcoin itself you entertain only those not everyone would like to adopt the bitcoin and would like to know to those things who doesn't help too much to their current status of living. Also, forums always have visitors who will create an account, ask a question about how to earn in Bitcoin and then vanish and seem like never been here.

During the Christmas holidays, I traveled to different places and one of my main target was to introduce Bitcoin and this forum to as many people as I could. I did but it was not really as easy as I expected because at a point, I was confused on where to start and how to proceed. I wanted a way of shortening the entire process for them, knowing that not everyone will be patient to go through the complex and rigorous process of learning about Bitcoin and the forum itself as a newbie. When I was first introduced into this forum, I was overwhelmed by the workload, the rules, many things to learn and indeed the expectations from me as a newbie. I actually ran away, stayed for a very long time before I remembered I had to face the new task for which I signed up.

I picked myself up and proceeded and I consider that one of the best decision of my life. Today I'm more than motivated to help as many people as possible to grasp this whole things as I know the benefits are innumerable. I don't consider it enough to encourage them to read through the forum because I still remember how difficult it was for me as a newbie, so I'm challenged in my spirit that there should be an easier way to go about introducing the entire concept to newbies.  

I don't know if any of you faced this challenge, if yes, how were you able to proceed?

 

You see, these are one of the reasons why many new newbies here are not following up the way others are because they lack the legit understanding about Bitcoin and the forum it self.
If you want to tell people about the forum you just have to make sure they know what to do and not teach them and domp them half way because they will not understand and that's why many newbies bare being tagged for posting trash.
But it's good to tell and teach people about Bitcoin as Bitcoin is now the talk of the day in various places. As you wanted to teach people about Bitcoin and the forum you just have to make sure they get the point and never keep them behind, so to do all this just make sure to keep spare time to teach them so that they can understand.

Sure, it is good to tell people about Bitcoin because it is a good investment that brings huge profit if you understand all the strategies. if you said you won't tell your close ones about bitcoin that means you only want to be getting profit, and you too is someone that introduces it to you and you understand it and started investing and benefiting from it, but I think some people that don't like to introduce bitcoin is because they aren't serious about it, and they will like you should do everything for them. The forum is the finest to know more about bitcoin because everyday they discuss different thing that can benefit you and your investment and not everyone can enjoy investment in crypto, some people have not believe that bitcoin is real and they will never succeed on bitcoin and such people you can't West your time with them.

The rules of this forum are different and here you can't run any kind of fraud but mostly newbies get involved in wrongdoing in the beginning. Because they might have come to know about the vitality of this forum from someone. But there are many people who come here just to earn money because of which they break the rules without knowing about the rules and regulations found here. However i have also worked with you in mind which is why i am now a successful crypto user and follower of this forum.

[Franctoshi]

I have not on my own tried to bring someone ,but I have this very close friend that has been disturbing me about joining the forum for quite a long time now, that he would like to learn things about Bitcoin and start investing because he has met me in the house with my PC doing market analysis on Bitcoin, and he was curious to know, but I purposely kept adamant to his request to actually know how serious he is in learning, because I hate teaching or introducing things to unserious people or people that won't value what you teach them, and ain the end it becomes a waste of time and energy.

[Ojima-ojo]

You did well by trying to bring new people to the forum, but then I will definitely not think of that, because of the kind of people I have around me, and what their mindset is about cryptocurrency many of them, just want quick income, like brunt 2 to get 10 which most times ended up as scams.

This mindset has erased their belief aspirations about the subject matter, this is why many will choose those schemes that are not truly Bitcoin, the inability to build the needed knowledge has affected them a lot so talking them into picking interest in a forum is not attractive to them.

[Mehedi72]

I don't usually share about Bitcoin and Bitcointalk among people but I shared this forum as well as Bitcoin, with some of my friends, and that was years ago. And it will complex when they come here and try to find out their answers about cryptocurrency. That's why i personally told them and explain them about Bitcoin and this forum. Thus they gradually know what is Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and what is Bitcointalk, and how we discussed here and help each others if need.

[Luzin]

This mindset has erased their belief aspirations about the subject matter, this is why many will choose those schemes that are not truly Bitcoin, the inability to build the needed knowledge has affected them a lot so talking them into picking interest in a forum is not attractive to them.

If they don't have the basics about Blokchain or Crypto, I think it takes more effort. It must be interesting that this forum can make money. But based on my experience, they won't be able to last long. Especially after the new rules regarding awards to support the conditions that campaign managers want. But the earnest person then he will succeed. Luckily I can be one of them and I can be lucky to survive until now. So it all depends on each user how they struggle.

[EluguHcman]

It is nice to speculate about Bitcoin because it is also as means of introducing the technology to others just as various ways by which we learnt about the Bitcoin as well as getting to know about the Bitcointalk platform. So, it is also how individuals attentions can be drawn and decides on their interests in the development.

Meanwhile... Op, I hope you don't have to take out of curiosity and get yourself exposed to dangers definitely unknowingly while trying to help the contribute to the welfares with the people by through the testimonies of way you have acquired and learnt about Bitcon.

We know how some people want to take the shortcut to success by having one of those evil thoughts of stealing in one way or the other from those who had earnestly laboured for what they have achieved today.
There are actually some ingrates thinking otherwise on how to hurt persons on a relative journey as you at this course of trying to o help them out.

Don't take it personal and compulsory that you must bring in those of your interested persons into the system and be assured that if their Interests are not there, you are either wasting your valuable times or it will end up having you to be blamed for any action of lost.

While you are to introduce them to the forum, you must earlier in let them know that learning about Bitcoin through the Bitcointalk platform is basically on reading so they don't expect visual or vocal classes of learning.
There are literally lot of people who dislike learning and such is not on the good track to be here unless as time goes they can adopt reading else they would just go blind hovering all around the forum and leaves without pointed stuff to had achieved.
You also don't have to hide the stress and risky side of the forum and the Bitcoin industry itself to them and there, you will always find true interested persons. They are usually without excuses but taking their endivoirs to actions.

[Kristiyana]

I don't bring Bitcointalk whenever time I assemble with my friends, reason is because they always see it the other way round, whenever time they are talking about bitcoin I always keep quiet and pretend like I don't even know what bitcoin is all about, because most people once you just tell them about bitcoin investment they won't even bother to know more about it, they will just jump into making investment, and once they lose they are going to hold you responsible, that you're the cause of their lost, that you shouldn't have introduce bitcoin to them in the first place, that is why I always avoid it.
