I always think of ways to create more awareness about this project and how to cover up with the listed shops so that they don't remain dormant since we are just a few hiver living in different locations far away from each other.
Most Lagos residents do not shop daily because they are salary earners, and to survive in Lagos, it's very important to shop in bulk and save some money, that is the major reason why we always do group shopping most times.
Two days ago, I went to have a practice session with newbies @beccatessy shop, we spent some hours in her shop and we bought some frozen foods from her, she was curious and anxious over her money as usual, before a few minutes she got her money in naira which is our local currency.
@Beccatessy demanded that she wants to start shopping, already before now I had advised her to write an introduction post on hive but she was reluctant about it but surprisingly she was now very interested and that is how we booked an appointment, we agreed that I will come again to sign her up for a personal account and also take her shopping so that she can understand this project the more
The signup and shopping.
I got to Beccatessy's shop by 1 pm as we agreed and I quickly signed her up using the spend hbd distriator signup.
She had already drafted her introduction post, so she just added pictures, proofread it, and posted it; she was very happy.
I assisted her in adding her second account, @beccatessy2, to her hive keychain wallet, she now insisted that she wanted to go and shop; @kachy2022 came to meet with us as we were setting up the account, adding a profile picture and bio.
We decided to go to @bokku-mart, where she did a practice section on how to shop, pay with HBD, and claim her discount; she was so surprised.
As we were shopping at bokku-mart, @emiliashely338 called @kachy2022, she wanted to come to shop, and @kachy2022 told her we were already at @bokku-mart so she quickly came around and also did some shopping with us.
So we had

I need to take her on more section of hive mentorship to help her make good use of hive.@beccatessy2 had so many questions, like how can she swap her hive to hbd since she wants to shop with hbd, so I quickly reminded her how it's been done, tho she has a lot to learn.

Just at the payment section while conducting our transactions, @happy080 walked in with a complaint that she had been finding it difficult to add tags to her introduction post, so I also had to mentor her on how to choose and add tags, and she was able to complete her Introduction post and post it.
The challenge
People think conducting the transaction will take them much time and almost everyone in Lagos are in haste, which has slowed down the adoption of spendhbd project in Lagos state, but the goal is to fill the earth with spendhbd project, let people know about hive, I will keep on trying my best to reach as many as I can to not just shop and earn but also enjoy creating content and engaging in peoples content, overall adding value to hive.
Tho challenges of life keep making it difficult to enjoy life, am grateful for everything and I will continue doing my best 🙏🏻.
Thanks you @beauty197, for your genuine assistance on my introduction,I will not take this privilege for granted.
That's so lovely you offered some help! Love it!!
