We all start somewhere on hive
A lot of us start small on hive with a fresh account and literally no HP to talk about. I remember when I had started I had very little HP.
Not that I have a lot of HP or crypto on me but the thing is that I have seen a lot of people grow on hive.
The secret of growth on hive…
The secret of growth on the hive blockchain is consistency. There are a lot of areas where one needs to be consistent on hive.
Be active on the blockchain
Being active in posting is just one of the things to be done. Try to interact with other users and one good way of doing this is by visiting their post and leaving genuine feedback about the post or what caught your attention.
Being genuine goes a long way in human interactions and this is even true in your #web3 social live on the hive blockchain
Create interesting content on Hive
This can be tricky because what may be interesting for me could be boring for another person. Therefore it is important to find a niche topic to write about.
Equally important is to know where to post it. For the convenience of the users of the blockchain there are a large number of communities and not only should one be posing in the communities related to our interests but also interact with other posters in the community.
One should always try to create meaningful and engaging content.
This would be possible if we try to offer insights based on our experience about the topic that we are writing about.
Fight the writers block
A lot of time we are not able to find a topic to write about and for this we can again go back to the topic of your interest by visiting our favourite communities. There we may find weekly prompts or ongoing contests. We can participate in these contests and engage with other participants.
Reading others' content is a good starting point to gain knowledge about the topics of our interest.
Make friends and network on the blockchain
Life on a web3 platform like hive is very much like life in the real physical world. To grow and be stimulated we like to interact with like minded individuals.
For this it is good to follow other writers who write interesting content in the communities that we have joined.
Look for the authors and content creators who are consistent and are creating good content.
Reading other people's content is a good way to increase the depth of our own knowledge in our chosen topic and field of interest.
You would find that by commenting on others posts we are able to find some good posters who reciprocate a comment. For this to work make sure you actually read posts and write a comment that is genuine, meaningful and is respectful.
Keep powering up your account
Whenever possible keep powering up your hive account with the hive tokens that you may have. Doing so on the hive powerup day is a pretty good way of doing so regularly.
Today is #HPUD or the hive power up day so power up folks!
