Hello dear friends, this goes for people that are yet to know about Hive.
If you made it here then congratulations because you are one step forward to financial breakthrough out of absolutely nothing.
Do you have a mobile phone and access to the internet? If yes, then you are two steps forward!
This is not a Pyramid scheme or pay this to get that crap.
Let me formally introduce you to the moving train called Hive.
In the most layman term possible, This is a decentralized social platform where you compose articles, post them and get paid.
Easy peasy.
No you don’t need to be a pro, there are just two stern rules: NO PLAGIARISM (I can’t stress this enough) AND NO SCAMMING. Oh and a third, DONT BE A DICKHEAD!
HOW TO GET STARTED;
INTRODUCTORY POST.
This should be your first post on Hive.
Introduce yourself! We would like to know who you are. Who knows you might find someone you relate with and make new friends!
USE YOUR NICHE.
What do you do or love doing? Are you a photographer? A designer? A baker? A singer? A makeup artist? A vet? A tourist? A Journalist? and so on.
If you identify in any of these categories and others, it is easier for you. Not only are you doing what you love and monetizing it, you are also greatly promoting yourself on the internet and getting recognition.
Read further for communities that might relate to your niche and their impacts.
WHAT KIND OF ARTICLES SHOULD YOU BLOG.
There is no limitation on this platform.
That just mean you can blog about absolutely anything, as long as it’s original, intelligible, entertaining or enlightening then get to writing.
An example: I went to the pool with friends. For my blog I would compose how the idea came up, why it came up, a few info about my friends, how the journey went, how warm or cold the pool was, what we ate, etc. just go crazy with creativity while doing that also make sure it’s a captivating story for your audience.
A Pro tip, take pictures!
Remember it’s all about originality. Take your own pictures in the best quality you can and you already have an article!
It doesn’t get easier than this.
HIVE COMMUNITIES AND THEIR IMPACT.
Hive pampers us too much.
Have you heard of communities? This is another expo to writing blogs.
These communities encompasses a collective group that not only contributes to your blogging experience by generating topics you can write about but also whenever you compose an article relating to the community, you can post it right there. They recognize and curate your blog for doing so.
Examples of these communities include; The weekend community, Eco Train, Ladies of Hive, Emotions and Feelings, Leofinance, Movies and TV shows, Liketu, The Minimalist, Hive pets, Foodies bee hive, Makeup Power, Deep dives and a thousand more.
All you have to do is explore on these communities, find the one you relate to, follow their rules and you’re good to go.
PS: If you are to write a post on any community, make sure it relates. For example a post about money and finance should be posted on LEOFINANCE community not on MOVIES AND TVSHOW!
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU POST:
It is recommended to post daily but if you can’t then three to four times in a week.
I am no expert but one thing I do know is success does not come in an instant, it comes with consistency and unlimited effort.
All I’m saying is don’t expect that amount of money you want in a week or a month or even six months. Of course it’s not impossible but what is the essence of being self made without doing what you love?
Remove greed from your agenda and fall in love with what you do.
On this platform it’s so easy.
Believe me when I say it might seem hard in the beginning, I’ve been there but in time you will fall in love with writing. In addition with creativity and consistency, the sky would be your limit.
TIPS TO FAST GROWTH ON HIVE.
Engagement
Be consistent
Follow the rules
ENGAGEMENT:
It is only instinctive to do this. Follow other creators, upvote (like) their posts and comment on their posts.
Heavy on commenting. I have read from higher creators and how they preach about commenting, that means it must be extremely important.
This is not other social media platforms that you will comment with an emoji or two words. No.
Remember people take their time to compose a five or six minutes read article. If you cannot read and make an insightful addition in the comment section then leave an upvote and move to the next article you can comprehend and leave an intelligent comment.
Do you know you can also make money by commenting? Just follow this hint I mentioned above and see for yourself.
PRO TIP: Try to leave 10 or more intelligent comments on other creators articles daily and see the rewards.
Being consistent and following the rules are already self explanatory!
LASTLY, DONT BE A DICKHEAD.
Do to others what you would like to be done to you. Don’t bully, we look out for each other on this platform. Yes there is maximum freedom of speech here but don’t forget this is still the internet. Whatever you input here would stay here forever and as a blockchain, it doesn’t get anymore transparent than this.
What are you still waiting for?
