*Raw example of how the first step of the profile creation screen could look like*

These past 2 days I've been thinking about a hypothetical: what if Dagamers started to aim towards onboarding new gamers and streamers into Hive? Since I've been reading more and more into witnesses and proposals, I started wondering what changes we'd have to make.

Obviously, in this hypothetical, we'd be working only on Hive, but this idea would also apply to either Steem or Blurt.

Two things immediately came to mind: first, we'd have to make the experience as smooth as possible, and second, Dagamers should become a clear use case.

To achieve this, we'd have to start putting the streams out on the platform itself and allow interactions with the streams through the platform. Comments and so on should also be visible. It might be smart to render only the comments created through the platform itself for users wanting the simple experience. Posts referring to other aspects on Hive or auto posts might confuse new users.

For these new users, we'd create a Hive account for them but take a slightly higher beneficiary cut. Additionally, these users' Hive accounts will auto-follow our curation trail. We'd also pay them out in BTC or another more mainstream currency by converting their liquid rewards into their currency of choice.

Once they are a bit worked in and familiar with the platform, we'll motivate them towards the more advanced experience, where they take their own Hive account into their own hands.

## The Three Step Plan:

I see us doing this in three steps:

- Educate them step-by-step on how Hive works using Dagamers' front-end as a use case. This should come in a tutorial sort of way that unlocks rewards (which will always be higher upvotes on their next stream).
- When switching to the advanced experience, let them do things manually but still on Dagamers' platform itself, like converting currency, etc.
- When they feel confident with managing their own accounts, introduce them to the many other apps and front-ends Hive has to offer.

This is probably how I'd see it happening just now off the top of my head. Obviously, there are a million and one things I'm not considering, which can only be answered by actually seeing the struggles and questions gamers and streamers from outside the Hive ecosystem have.

## Great But How Do You Reach Out to These New Streamers

Adsense done by a professional marketing bureau have an immense impact. At least that's what the marketing bureau told me. But the few users we have at the moment are almost all gotten from me reaching out to them and asking them to try the app. I've only reached out to a few people (and none from outside the Hive ecosystem) mostly because I'm doing this mostly as a fun little project right now. But just reaching out to people to test your app is super beneficial.

I remember when all of us where streaming Splinterlands @atomcollector would visit our streams ask us to check out @risingstargame. The result: everyone tried out Rising Star.

So we'll keep it simple.

## Just a Theory

Anyway, just a bit of theorizing off the top of my head. I don't have the ambition to implement anything like that since it would massively increase the workload, making it into a full-time job. But it's fun to think about it nonetheless.
