IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE UPCOMING BATCH OF NEWBIES INITIATIVE || CHANGES AND ADDITIONS MADE TO THE INITIATIVE
Since the Newbies Initiative's latest batch of applicants has concluded, I have received a few messages asking when the initiative's next round's applications will be accepted. In this article, I'll respond to these queries and discuss any modifications or additions I plan to make to the program.
First, the application period for the subsequent round of the newbies initiative will commence in September and finish on September 30. After the deadline, we will strictly not accept any more applications.
REQUIREMENTS TO JOIN THE INITIATIVE
Please note that the applications will only be accepted from authors who have been on Hive for no longer than six months. The calculation will start with the writers' very first Hive post (steem is not counted). It is advised to avoid applying if the first post you published on Hive is more than six months because your application would be denied.
As a result of our observation that newbies with fewer support have a lesser likelihood of reaching a reputation of 60 within six months, we are also decreasing the reputation to 60. If you are a new user and have built up a reputation of 60 or more in less than six months, this indicates that you have figured out how to use the platform and have received some sort of support. This adjustment was made so that we could mentor newbies who actually needed the initiative for their development rather than those who may not take it seriously.
The 500 HP cap on hive power still applies as usual. The initiative would not be open to newbies who have accrued more than 500 Hive Power via their posts. It won't be counted if you have more than 500 HP as a result of frequent powerups. There is a means for us to determine whether or not you have acquired up to 500 HP from your posts as opposed to typical powerups.
ADDITION OF TEAMS AND TEAM-LEADERS TO THE INITIATIVE
This time, we would divide the newbies into teams, thus the newbies initiative would be accepting a specific number of newbies. There would be a maximum of 3 teams in the initiative, each with 10 people.
I have chosen three grads from the previous batch of newcomers to serve as team leaders, and they will be responsible for personally checking in with each newbie on their team and providing weekly performance reports. Each team leader would submit a weekly report detailing the level of activity their newbies shown throughout the previous week as well as their performance on the assigned tasks.
Also, it would be great to mention that we would be removing inactive newbies from the initiative. There is no need being part of the initiative when there is no there is no sign of interest towards the initiative activities. Newbies would be dropped immediately if they fail to perform any task without any prior notification with a good reason why the task was missed.
The best newbie from each team would receive a prize in the form of post beneficiaries after each task, and at the conclusion of the program, a reward would be presented to the overall best newbie for that batch, in order to motivate newbies to engage in each assignment. For the time being, the prize is a secret.
NEWBIES INITIATIVE TASKS AND TUTORIALS
We wouldn't create any additional tutorials for the guides unless they are absolutely necessary. Although we would be using pre-made tutorials, there would still be a live session on Discord explaining them, with the date and time of each session publicized in the discord server. Anyone who is interested in participating in the live sessions can access the channel.
NEWBIES INITIATIVE BADGES AND VERIFICATION
The badges are another alteration that will be made to the initiative. Once their applications have been approved, we will only award the newbies with a different badge (totally different from the headline of this post). Therefore, requesting a badge is no longer necessary when submitting an application to the newbies initiative. Once the application has been approved, a badge will be issued. We would only take a limit of 30 newbies, as was previously stated.
The applicant must be validated on the hive learners discord server and have joined the smile discord server in order for their application to be approved. The application will be rejected if the newbie is unable to join the Hive Learners Discord server and get verified.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!
The major goal of the newbies initiative is to offer mentorship and direction to newbies who have come to Hive without being familiar with its Dos and Don'ts. For newbies, we offer organized lectures and live sessions, and we make every effort to promote their articles. It is crucial to remember that votes are not guaranteed, thus there is absolutely no justification for any newbie to believe they are entitled to support.
We kindly request that you only participate in this project if you are doing so with the intention of staying for a long time and are not doing it for the prizes or the likelihood that your posts will receive frequent curation; otherwise, you will be very disappointed.

I am on hive thru listnerds since Jan 1 2022. I did not know your blog existed until now.I signed up with Ecency at that time. Wish you well with your upcoming students.
Your case is quite a special case. You have only written two articles, except that you fill in most of the requirements. If you feel this is something you need, follow @newbies-hive, to know when the application opens.
Yes it is indeed special and I think your take on it is not bad at all. The thing is, there are surely going to be special cases and I think it's best if we also look at the seriousness of any person applying in the end of all other qualifications.
Wow, it's a good thing you got to know of Hive but it's obvious you are still a newbie. Like the author has said, if you think you need more tutorials try and follow the updates from the newbies hive.
If you do not want to join its still fine, you can just learn behind the scenes, anytime a task is given, you can read and also learn as well.
Well done champ I see you doing a lot with this newbie initiative,a's giving back to the block chain
i'm a product of this too and each time I see how you are devoted doing this I know very well the newbies are in safe hand.
Well done champ.
Yeah bro, it gives me a sense of responsibility actually. It's best having a duty on Hive than just existing for nothing.
Hmm, now that you've said I tried thinking about it and you are absolutely right. The truth is, if any lives with our any goal or purpose, his existence always feels like a waste.
Your existence in the blockchain has been so impactful and worthy of emulation👌👍
Yes he's doing a really praiseworthy job and I'm really impressed with how he has devoted himself to see that people are not left behind in this space.
It's a nice well done.
Yea it is 🥰.
I think this is awesome. Newbies need support or they will leave. Keep it up.
Indeed newbies need support and they also have to show some signs of seriousness and dedication to learning.

Wow, the newbies initiative is taking a new shape which is well structured and to the advantage of any qualified and lucky newbie who will be a beneficiary of this next batch. Being an old beneficiary, I can assure every new participant of getting a large percentage of a learning curve in this blockchain, only if taken with all seriousness.
@starstrings01 many thanks for the nurturing and coaching. God reward you 👍
You're are absolutely right Ma'am, the best way to benefit from the newbies initiative but putting in all diligence and seriousness.
The next batch are really going to enjoy a lot of things but that's only if they are persistent and consistent as well.
Yeah, consistency and perseverance are the keys 👌
Yeah 😊👍.
Thank you too for all you do!
This is Awesome, we need all the support we could get on this ecosystem. Thank you so much
Yes dear, we all do and that's why we always have to bring our A game in whatever we do.
A little advice, if you know you are planning on applying as a newbie, do well to always follow the rules and most especially, ask questions, okay? Smiles.
Yeah, thank you so much dear✨✨
You're welcome Courage 🥰.
The support you shall have 👍
Thank you so much ✨✨
You deserve a round of applause for this. I think the rules for joining and all one needs to know for this first batch and very well stated and I'm very happy that these changes are being implemented, that are goes to show that you are a great leader.
The aspect where you talked about the limitations of reputation, I have discovered that there are some newbies who are here less than five months and they've already crossed that reputation but when you read through their blogs, it's obvious they do not know some very important things about Hive but they get good support.
I think it won't be out of place to still accept such persons because like you stated in your concluding part that no one should join with the mind of having support, so these persons for them to apply even though they already have support, that means they want to learn or what do you think?
Thank you very much for the kind words.. I really appreciate
So, there is a reason why the initiative is open to everyone even though they are not part of it. This you have stated is actually the reason.
People who are interested in learning more can attend the initiative's live discord meetings, where we go over most of the information we plan to provide to our newbies. They would then be able to benefit from the same information shared with these newbies without even having to participate in the initiative.
The project only serves as an incentive to encourage and push newbies to persevere and not give up. More like the push they require and the pat on the back they require to remain encouraged.
You're welcome Sir 🙏.
Oh yes, that also what I thought of too because normally every meeting is even recorded and posted through the newbies-hive account and it's visible to all both newbies and non-newbies, so everyone can learn from it then without being part of the initiative.
That is brilliant, having this in mind will really help to stick with the qualifications, smiles.
Wow... Once again another newbies are to be reborn into hive platform. It's the best as you have kept on with this format to make those coming to hive to have more knowledge about how to use hive platform.
I can see that @starstrings01 is doing a great job here on hive and without him and his group, I wouldn't have gotten to where I'm today.
This is an opportunity to be at your best in the hive platform.
Thank you for your appreciation and the kind words.
The newbie initiative is no doubt the best platform for newbies to learn and get settled here. Having learned a lot from you as well, I'm positive that the newbies will only get the best. Well done my friend.
Aww! Thanks dear.
You are welcome dear.
The newbies initiative is definitely an opportunity and incentive to learn about the workings of Hive for long-term thinking newbies. Good job man.
Yeah brother! I think you have asked me about it too. You were part of the few people I had in mind while writing this post.
Yes, you remembered. I’ll be waiting for the update on opening of applications on the newbieshive account.
Sure I do. Don’t worry we plan on making the application as easy as it can be.
Good to know. I’ll be lurking closely haha.
Wow,this is great and amazing. Thanks for this,this will really help newbie,because we all have one or two thing to learn. I will like to participate for it.
Awesome! Go for it
Wow this is pure masterpiece, you've done a great job in time past boss and I'm certain this is gonna be a success as well.
I love the new development of where inactive members will be let off once they show any forms of non commitment to the program, and I'm sure this will make everyone buckle up.
I can't take all the credit. You guys helped in building this masterpiece
Wow. It has been quite a journey with the last newbies initiative. It is a good one that some adjustments have been made to accomodate the serious newbies.
Concerning the badge as it is now automatic that means @projectmamabg won't be over spammed.😀
Thanks for all you do, comrade!
I love the fact that you put serious newbies into it. That is what we are rooting for, serious individuals who are seeking growth in the platform. We are ready to make this happen.
Yeah, it is obvious now more than ever. Way to go, champ!!

We just gained huge knowledge from this great initiative. I really liked all the changes included on this initiative. Really believe that newbies will get Benifits from this great initiative.
We are really waiting for some quality bloggers 🤗
Best of Luck 🤞 #newbies ♥️
Many Many thanks #giftedhands 🤗
I am glad to hear this brother. The changes would have not been made if not for you guys. You made it so, and I am glad I got to mentor your set of newbies in the N.I. initiative.
Thanks so much for your words. I really appreciate it.
You are always welcome professor 🤗
That's really great news for newbies for this great transition #HiveLearners community is bringing. It's really going to help most newbies to grow very fast.
Please does this include all those who began writing in hive but later introduce themselves within this six months period. I am saying this because I first posted to hive and later realized to write proper introductory post.
I just checked your profile and saw it is also a special case. Feel free to make an application when the application opens. Your case would be overlooked, which means you now meet up to make an application.
Thanks so much for the update, I am among one of them that ask of it. This post has given me every thing I need to know about the newbies initiative program, I really appreciate
This guy😂, finally you have the update you have requested! The awaited time has come and I hope you make proper use of it👍
!ALIVE
@mosesessien! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @nkemakonam89. (1/10)
The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.
Greetings, @starstrings01. I take this space of your post to notify you that I made a mistake posting in this community "Hive Learners". My intention was always to post here, but then upon further review of the rules, I realized I couldn't or now. I was going to post in another community, but I'm almost asleep and didn't realize that your community was still selected.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Sorry I do not understand you.
Any way to contact you by Discord or Telegram, maybe Twitter to explain better?
Wow this is really good especially the addition of teams to the initiative. It's true that most newbies join the initiative but get lost at the middle, it's good there's someone that will checkmate those who are participating well on on hive.
The prize presentation to the overall newbie is also a very good idea, at least it will enable the newbies to put in more effort in the task that will be given.
I'm happy that the next batch of the newbies initiative task will soon begin and I hope the lucky ones get accepted 😍😍
Yeah these few changes would help encourage newbies and make the initiative better. Thanks so much for your input.
You're highly welcome 😁
Well done buddy.. I didn't have the opportunity to participate the first time and I won't anymore because I have passed my 6 months stay here. But I have learnt a lot from this community too. Thanks for your teachings always
No doubt @starstrings01 is a blessing to newbies on the blockchain, with your help many were able to navigate through the blockchain and you are doing it again.
Your good work is appreciated sir.
This is a good initiative mate and it is also a good program, likewise a privilege for hundreds of people to figure out how things really works here. I will also love to join the initiative if am permitted. Here in ilorin kwara State Nigeria. We have people trouping into the platform and I will definitely link up with them and lead them more. @starstrings01
Hello Brother! I would appreciate bringing people into the initiative. It is a way to support all newbies and guide them in general. The application would be dropping anytime soon
Oh. That's lovely. I'm so happy to hear that.. working on the hive newbies more as soon as possible. Happy new month 🎉🎈🎉 to you.
Fresh meat!
Wow, I've been anticipating this next batch of newbies initiative for awhile now 🤩...
I've seen how the previous batch of newbies have impacted greatly from this initiative and I hope to get more acquainted with the nitty-gritty of the hive platform.
I just pray I'm lucky enough to get my application approved.
Thank you for this wonderful initiative!
Nice one. I think the teaming and grouping will make for better accountability and follow-up.
@Beautiefair and @Redna, you may consider attempting an application for the newbie initiative programme, trust me, it is worthwhile.
This is a nice update and upgrade boss. I love the aspect of teaming. It would make the work easier and having more focus on newbie improvements.
Thanks for the good job done.
