Ya all must be thinking why I am posting on a new account; the reason is simple I have changed my pen name from LiquidOcelot to RevolverOcelot as the reason is simple really I feel that the name of LiquidOcelot does not suite my brand some how.
Today am I am conducting an interview with @katerinaramm who has been coaching me on the hive.blog platform from well over an year now. Without her advice I would not have known the various white hat legit methods on growing on this platform really. So lets start with the questions and answers shall we.
Q1. Where did you hear about hive.blog and when did you start your blogging journey there?
@katerinaramm First of all thank you for the invitation and for the time you took to prepare these questions!
It was 2017 when I first joined the chain (which then had a different name). When the hard fork happened, in 2020, I decided to continue producing my content on hive. Even though users were not asked to take sides, I thought it seemed the fair thing to do. If you would like to know more about what happened, I suggest that you follow @lordbutterfly for updates about the movie 'Free Chain' that will be about this. (This may be interesting too:) 
)
Q2. How much money did you invest in building up your hive power from your pocket?
@katerinaramm I believe that our time is more valuable than money. When we are younger, we usually have more time than money, so if we invest our time wisely, maybe we can have both as we grow up!
There was a very big change in my professional life in 2017, which led me to start thinking of ways to work for myself more than for others. It was then that found the time to study more about blockchain and bitcoin (that seemed interesting but had found no time to learn about it.)
In response to your question. I invested in time and in studying about hive, I did not have money to spend at the time - but I did power up my earnings (still doing that)
Q3. Is this true that in the year 2023 you have got 100 dollars all 11 months and also expecting the same to happen in December as well?
@katerinaramm Yes, in 2023 I earned approximately $100 worth per month (or more) of hive tokens for my blogging. I think it will also be the case for December.
Q4. Who mentored you in your early days on hive.blog please mention?
@katerinaramm Haha, well this is an interesting question! I was lucky to arrive to an amazing Greek community at that time and some of them are still in the chain. Super happy to learn from the best @ruth-girl, @trumpman, @filotasriza3 and grateful that some of them are still here. I was so lucky to be a part of the @stemsocial community for a while and I was very happy to receive mentorship by the wonderful @suesa for a couple of my STEM posts! I tried to write posts that were useful and ones that would also teach me something. Especially for my STEM posts, they could take me a few days for the whole research and writing. This question has triggered so many memories, that it would take one post to write everything down! Maybe I will :)
Q5. Did any one delegate some Hive power (HP) to you in your early days?
@katerinaramm It is a really long time, I think it was @suesa who delegated an amount to me, because I won at a competition and then she mentored a couple of my posts. It was 2018 If I am not mistaken.
Q6. How do you manage to post every day of the month meaning how do you manage such production scheduling?
@katerinaramm I give up some of my personal time to write my posts and to curate, support my fellow authors :)
Q7. Why you love to use the inLEO front end for using hive.blog so much?
@katerinaramm InLeo (formerly LeoFinance) has always had a vision and is a pioneer in the quality of their front end. Especially with the new features brought, microblogging etc - there will be a bright future for $hive and for $leo. We are already part of history as its is being made. A community is about communicating and acting together. And that's what we do.
Q8. How did you bring your hive.blog audience over to medium by simply importing or may be by word of mouth even cause you got 4.5k followers on medium some how?
@katerinaramm I have a different audience in medium than in hive, and I often post different stories in the two platforms. I only post the same content (always with references) when I feel that it will be valuable for both audiences.
Q9. DO you consider your self a Cryptocurrency expert and also is it true you were a Binance employee in any shape or form?
@katerinaramm I am far from being an expert.. I am an ongoing learner and I hope to be able to write more about crypto in the future. I have not been a Binance employee, but I often write about it because since I first used it, I have seen how great the exchange is and how many the opportunities are. They also have $hive in their exchange and that is another reason to use it. (please always do your own research, if you keep your $ in any centralized exchange, there is always a risk of losing them)
Q10. What would you recommend to newbie writers coming over to hive.blog for starting out other than focussing on building hive power (HP)?
@katerinaramm Be real and authentic. "Listen" first, see what others write and talk about and think about what content you wish to create. Lower your expectations, and think well of your goals. You are a human among other humans, so you cant act like a bot.
Q11. Do you think you will ever be able to break the 1000 dollars mark in a month on hive.blog ever in your life if yes what is your current strategy to achieve such a massive landmark some how?
@katerinaramm At the moment I dont see it coming and I dont have this goal.
Q12. You live in Greece and love photography? Is hive.blog popular in your local area some how?
@katerinaramm Hive is not popular here (yet), but i am having some thoughts that I will see if I can realize in 2024.
Q13. Why are you so helpful with newbie writers like my self on hive.blog I mean you delegated me 3k hp and help me every day on the platform for over an year now and some others too are you a real life philanthropist?
@katerinaramm If I am at a position to help someone else, I try to do it :)
Q14. Can you give your best life lesson to any body that will change their lives please?
@katerinaramm I am still searching for that too :) I focus in taking one step at a time, taking chances and never take anything for granted...Thank you for the interview!
Special thanks to @katerinaramm for giving her time for this interview. In a way I feel I will always be in her debt really as she has really helped me out on understanding how the hive.blog platform works in the year 2023. If some one would like me to conduct an interview please write in comments and surely I will select a candidate for sure for that purpose.
I just spent 100k pkr on buying my Audio equipment may be in the future ill be posting podcasts where ya all can listen to the said article as well.
