The Absolute Skatehive Guide - HOW TO Join our Skate Community And ...

Hello everyone, what's up?

For those of you who haven't heard about SkateHive before, SkateHive is a skateboarding community built upon Hive platform.

We built our skateboarding community on Hive 'cause Hive allows users to earn money in form of cryptocurrency for posting their content. That means you earn Hive coins (Hive platform's coin) for every skateboarding post you share with us.

The reward mechanism works like this :

You earn Hive when other users upvote(like) your content. The more Hive a user owns the more money you are rewarded when they upvote your content.

How to share your skateboarding content with the SkateHive Community

After you subscribe to SkateHive click on the pencil icon at the top right corner of your page, then click on "Create a Post" and choose "SkateHive" by clicking on the arrow right next to "My Blog".

I would recommend you share some personal info at your first post so we get to know you a little better.
For example, you can tell us where you live, how many years you skate, how did you find out about SkateHive

Example of a short and ideal introduction post to SkateHive Community.

You can upload photos by simply dragging them in to your posting window and you can share your video by simply copying your video streaming service link and pasting it to your post.

For LBRY Videos : Copy the embed link of your lbry video and paste it in your Skatehive post

You are almost ready to share your first post. The only thing that's left is to add some tags.
Go to the "Topics" section at the bottom of your page and add the topics you find fitting just like you would in every social media platform. (Topics are the same as #Tags on Instagram)

Please add skatehive as one of your first 5 topics cause it's the most widely-used skateboarding tag on Peakd. That way all skaters can find your post and connect with you.
No need to add # before a topic, you can simply write the word and press "Enter" or "Space".

If this is the first post you share with us I recommend you add the "introduceyourself" and "introducemyself" topics to your post.

The only thing that's left now is to press the "Publish" button and boom, you just shared your post with the SkateHive Community.

You might need some time to get used to the steps but that's the same in every platform we try for the first time right?
