so many old members here were invited to Bitcointalk by family members, friends.while some were invited through Google search and YouTube. At first on getting here you find yourself thinking how you might get started, so you can also feel like you belong to the community and rank up.
As a newbie, you have so many taughts running through your mind, ie "would you rank up or get stucked in a lower rank for long, when next will you earn merits. while doing this, you become so careful creating or interacting with members so you start earning recognition and trust on the community.
Many times, I think that not having more newbies here on Bitcoin will actually make the community less active.
So, why do I think it's essential to welcome more newbies to Bitcointalk? The presence of newcomers injects vitality into the community. They bring fresh ideas, add value, and help spread the word about Bitcoin. New members can also play a pivotal role in inviting others and creating engaging discussions. I think that without new topics and discussions, it could become challenging for signature campaign members to fulfill their weekly tasks. Interestingly, around 50 percent of daily topics and threads are initiated by newbies and low-ranked members.
Again, Newbies can revitalize participation, particularly in competitions like the Roobet monthly contest, October Halloween contest and so many other interesting contest on Bitcointalk. Senior members often have busy schedules due to their signature campaigns, but newbies can ignite interest in such events and participate.making it more challenging and competitive.
On the other hand, some newbies are finding it difficult to join or even last here on Bitcointalk for long. this is because of the fact that they get distracted by some of the other activities here on Bitcointalk including bounty, signature campaigns or try to outsmart the rules of the forum (plagarism).
For these reason, they are not willing to learn. newbies these days, don't want to learn but trys to teach others what they don't have enough much Knowledge about. they forget that one must learn to crawl before they begin to walk.
when inviting someone to Bitcointalk, you should see to it that they understand what it's all about and yes you can equally tell them all the benefits that come with joining Bitcointalk but be sure to inform them about all the rules they have to abide, to so they don't come here and start spamming the forum without understanding the rules.
so far I have invited 3 person to Bitcointalk, but just 1 of them is here and still actively engaging on the forum. I thank LoyceV for her thread:
The future of Bitcointalk: Low Ranking Top Merit earners in the past 30 days. I know so many has raised the question, like why she has decided to continue updating that thread, but the truth is that she sees a future in these newbies and I too see because I was once a newbie who faced somany trials while ranking up, but I overcame. I don't know about others though, but i always loved being mentioned every month on LoyceV thread, as this encouraged me to work harder towards achieving a higher rank. so if you are one of those person doubting their self here on Bitcointalk if they can rank up fully, just be patient and engage with the forum regularly and you will see it's result. don't forget to follow the rules.
To cut the long story short, I strongly believe that we should invite more users to the forum. This will not only boost engagement but also bring fresh ideas to benefit both new and old members alike. So if you know of someone who is willing to learn about Bitcoin, don't hesitate to tips him about Bitcointalk.
