Hi, guys! Krazorcen here, sharing what I learned in my research on getting more upvotes in your blogs and increasing your earnings. There are a lot of tutorials on how to start your hive account or how to create an excellent blog. However, I had a hard time searching for who can upvote you constantly and will have a high chance of getting an upvote. If you are a newbie this is for you and if you are already blogging and only getting minimal upvotes this is for you. It worked for me, and it might work for you.
How I am earning $4 minimum in my blogs.
1. ECENCY ($3.33 Daily)
@ecency can help you promote/boost your post via their website(ecency.com). You just need ecency points to be able to do that.
To learn more about ecency you can check the FAQ's on their website( here).
These are the steps on how to do it.
GETTING ECENCY POINTS
- Using the website and being active(posting blog, comment, like/upvote) will give you points.
- Buying them via HBD/SWAP.HIVE.
The minimum amount of Token you can buy is 1 HBD or HIVE. The amount of Ecency points you will receive will depend on the price of these tokens.
If you don't have any HIVE tokens or HBD tokens. You can watch @MrKStar youtube video tutorial[here] on how to buy Hive token and send it in the keychain.
- Go to their website ecency.com.
- Click the ecency points logo.
- Make sure you have enough HBD/HIVE tokens.
- Click the BUY POINTS button.
- Choose how will you buy the points either HBD or HIVE.
- Confirm payment.
BOOSTING/PROMOTING your blogs
A.) BOOSTING YOUR POST
Use your ecency points to get an upvote from ecency.
The minimum amount of points you can use to boost your blog is 150 which is equivalent to $1 and the maximum is 500 which will give you $3.33. So if you are buying points worth $1, it can be boosted to $3.3, which will give you a profit of $1.65.
- go to ecency.com and log in.
- click the gift logo, or go to ecency points.
- Under the Ecency Points. Click the dropdown and choose Boost.
- A new window will pop up. under the first form field, Enter the Username/hive name and it will
auto-populate the blogs/posts that username you entered. and choose 1 from there. - Select the amount that you want and click next. The minimum number of points per day, that you can use is 150 and the maximum is 500 points. And 500 points boost will give $3.3 so every day you can profit $1.65.
- You need to confirm the transaction either via entering your keys (active/owner/master) or
via hivesigner or keychain then confirm.
B. PROMOTING - PROMOTING/ENDORSING your blogs, similar to how ads work. You will not be getting an upvote but ecency will promote your blogs on their website and app.

PGM is a Play Gamer Token. Created by @zottone444, you can also use it as a tag(#PGM) if the contents of your post are related to gaming.

PARTICIPATING IN THE CHALLENGES AND COMPETITIONS.
I post blogs daily in the hive. But at some point, we will lose ideas, we won't know what to write or where to start. That's where these challenges and contests come, instead of thinking of a new idea that we can post. We can use that challenge as a topic and make a great blog about it. And if they liked it, we might win those challenges and get upvoted.
Splinterlands Challenges
First, you need to join their page/community, here. They have a weekly challenge that would help your hive account grow. You just need to participate in these challenges. However, before you can participate in their challenges, you need to play the game. And if you don't have an account yet, you can register here, and you can hit me up so I can help you progress in the game.
These are the challenges that @splinterlands upvotes.
Make sure to follow their page(https://peakd.com/@splinterlands/) to get the latest challenges. Maximize your earnings and join them.
RABONA END OF SEASON CHALLENGE
Similar to Splinterlands challenges. Rabona has its challenges. I am not familiar with this game yet. But planning to play it in the future. This is the link for the challenge(here).
OTHER CHALLENGES
Thanks to @theterminal discord group. I discovered these challenges.
POSTING YOUR BLOGS IN THE CORRECT COMMUNITY
Recently, I joined a webinar from the @hiveph discord and learned a lot about how curators curate blogs. Let me share with you what I learned.
There are a lot of excellent and good blogs being posted daily. However, it was posted in the wrong community or they did not post in a community at all, or the tags were incorrect.
Curators check your activity if you interact with others(upvotes, comments, and replies).
You need to post your blogs in the correct community or the first tag of the post should be in the community.
Examples
After playing splinterlands, you want to start growing your account. You can check the prices of the cards, transaction history, buying, selling, or renting of your splinterlands assets in peakmonsters. You can visit their website here: (peakmonsters.com).
Share your experience on using their website and post it on their page (here). @peakmonsters curates blogs that are related to them.
- If your post is about finances. You need to post your blogs here.
- You love reading books and do you want to share your reviews? You can share it in the Hive Book Club community.
- Like eating food? or cooking food? Foodies Bee Hive is for you.
- You want to share your travel experiences and pictures plus earn money from that, share it on Pinmapple.
Thank you so much for explaining it to a noob like me, @indayclara.
