Welcome to my weekly record of the Hive progress of my family, my students that I have onboarded to Hive, and other friends on Hive!

This week is going to be amazing!

Please help me welcome @stevemuis to the Students of 2022 list. I did not onboard Steve, but he has quickly become so involved with myself and most of my students - especially the ones that are in Cape Town - the point is not having students, it is about growing community! I know Steve is going to be growing fantastically together. I see that his last two posts got great attention. He starts on our list on 8.4HP, between @aimeludick and @matthew-williams. Onward and upward for you @stevemuis!

Also joining our ranks is @kahunakoala - Kyle and I have known each other for many years, always bumping into each other at the Hobby Stores. @kahunakoala does Pokemon product reviews and pack openings on his youtube channel of the same name, check it out HERE, he also has an Instagram and an Patreon all with the same handle.

Originally, I did not even know he had all this going. I just show people about Hive because it excites me. I knew Kyle pretty much organizes most of the Pokemon tournaments in Cape Town and I know how well gaming-related content does on Hive... now there seems to be even more reason to get Kyle started! Once we give him enough time to learn the peculiarities of blockchain publishing vs traditional web 2.0

Last but not least, @mattjohnroux has created his Hive account and has begun poking around. He is a musician and the organizer of the Open Mic even @clairemobey and @jasperdick performed at, and all three of us covered in blog posts: Jasper, Zak, and Claire! The man has a lot of talent and I hope to see him sharing his conent on Hive soon. An introduction post is in order!

Let's get into those stats!

HP Growth of myself and the Class of 2022.

*List ordered by current HP

Amazing gains this week! I went up by another 42HP and attaining my 900HP goal

@jasperdick doing an absolutely shocking show of growth with a 151HP gain from posting ONLY! Jasper has gone the 100% powerup route in his journey as he is intending on attaining Minnow status level before doing a 50/50% post payout. And the last week's posts got massive attention! Well done! Good posting, good tagging. He makes my job easier as I can showcase someone who is obviously doing things right!

@lex-zaiya comes in 3rd and @merenludick comes in 4th now passing his sister @aimeludick because he actually made posts! Mwahaha!

The total HP of the Mobey-Ludick Household in HP is 1156,601HP, last week was 1110,593HP so a gain of +46,008HP.

The total HP of the 10/22 students of 2022 is: 928,583HP. Not going to count the guys that are on 0HP. Smacked right over 800HP and 900HP together due to the efforts of @jasperdick who is 47.14% of the students HP! Well done!

The students together are at 757,649HP, which is 84,41% of the total 1100HP the 22 students were to get to. The average for the 10 students is now, 92,583HP. Also notice that the Students HP together and my HP are now equal, by next week, the 10-11 people on the list will have more HP than myself in total!

This is the power of onboarding. The sheer amount of HP that can be earned from newcomers and a community that stand together - together with some essential lessons is amazing!

Coming up for next week - Students of 2022

Remember everyone, your new posts and engagements will effect what your earnings you will have in a week's time. Therefore you need to keep an eagle eye on what you want to accomplish and just keep posting and engaging!

Remember: You need to give if you want to receive. Hive is highly alturistic. If you engage with others, they will engage with you!

Redfish

@edycu007 still swining in with activity! An active Redfish outside my students group! Yay! So 11 comments, well done. As I told you last week, try keep this up or expand. Look at @hopestylist as an example, due to her activity, she becomes relevant. I am not suggesting you need to do 1000+ comments a week. But more is better. Try do another 10-20 this coming week!

Minnows

Again the @hopestylist smashed up the charts! Such amazing success! Over 100HP gained! Wow! Again, so many comments! I did tell you one of mine would beat you this week though, but wow I did not expect you to go at it so hard! @jasperdick still managed the top score of the week. Neither his, nor your gains are necessarily sustainable... not like @joetunex's weekly gains over a long time. Time will tell! Show us what you got!

Second is @new.things, the steady racer, constant gains! Well done!

Dolphins

Well done to @joetunex, the biggest gain in HP in the dolphins, 3rd place on the post today. (I am 4th haha)

As we can see, growth is always exponential, but it is also directly related to a calculation between effort, HP and influence. In this case if you do 1000+ comments AND more than a post per day. Over time my post shows how it rolls!

I am STILL concerned that all the Redfish and even some of the Minnows of this list are going dark! Going to need to find new ones to support...

My Hivebuzz Buzzy Badges

Last week:

This week:

Vests!

My current Vests are on 1,689,711 while last week I was on 1,613,798 Vests. A gain of 75,913 Vests! Nice!
A long road from here to Dolphin of 10M Vests. Last week I was 16,13% of a Dolphin, I am now 16,89% there so a gain of 0,76% towards that goal.

Cheers for now!
