Greetings to all Hive lovers and especially to all those people who are just starting out on the platform, this publication is dedicated precisely to this last group, because no advice is unnecessary for those who have an open mind to learn something new, this is my contribution to the Initiative: Best tips to start in Hive. I invite @Yetsimar and @graciadegenios to participate
1 Haz un banco de ideas/ Make an idea bank
There are two types of personalities that enter Hive, the first have a very clear and defined idea of the type of content they want to create, the other people have no idea what to write about, for both types of people I have advice, for the first I advise not to get stuck within a single topic or type of content, daring to vary the topic and the communities where it is published is the best strategy to achieve visibility and also get rewards, expanding the range of topics has been my survival strategy of the platform, obtaining as a result not only "survive" but also grow as a content creator, grow at the reputation level and obtain medals and objectives. My second advice applies to both those who have ideas and those who do not, is to create a bank of ideas, take a pencil and paper, or on your cell phone or computer, wherever it is and write down the ideas that occur to you to publish , sometimes you don't have to have a clear idea, but if at least one type of content, for example if I want to do some cooking at least write down "publish a dessert", then from this idea go defining what type of dessert and you need to do it, then place it in a position on the list that allows you to publish the previous topics on the list while planning the purchase of the ones you need for dessert, adding to the writing time, adjusting your content agenda You can do the same with crafts or even with movie reviews, because not everyone has the time to watch movies, write down all your ideas and little by little you will see that you have a great list of content to publish.
2 Publica dentro de las comunidades/ Post in communities
Many people in their beginnings make the mistake of publishing outside the community, this is something that is basic but at the same time it is common, my advice is to make sure that you are publishing within a community, this community should also be chosen carefully, knowing that the topic must be in accordance with the rules of said community, its rules are always anchored in the description of the community, make sure you read the rules to prevent your publications from being silenced, it is common for people close to me to ask me why some publication is silenced, my answer is always the same: "read the community rules and make sure you have not broken any of the rules", almost always the person has committed a fault and had not realized it, however, if that happens, it is not the end of the world, you can always learn from mistakes, the most important thing is not to get discouraged and keep going learning. By the way, no community accepts the use of images or text extracted from external pages without placing the link of the source used, even if you made this mistake, you must edit your publication and amend it, the ideal is to publish original content and if you used something from outside it is better make it clear.
Lista de Comunidades/Communities
Una vez estés suscrito a las comunidades de tu interés, puedes escoger una en la parte de arriba del editor de texto de tu publicación
Once you are subscribed to the communities of your interest, you can choose one at the top of the text editor of your publication
3 Interactúa con los demás - Participa en retos/ Interact with others - Participate in challenges
Interaction with others is not just voting for other publications, in this regard if you are new you should only take into account the use of their resources, monitoring your resources will allow you to know how many comments and votes you can make per day without exceeding, however, start to interact from the first moment, that helps you to have visibility and reach in your publications, meet people with your same interests, be aware of everything new on the platform that can affect you, for example knowing about an update can save you from get a scare one day when a node fails and you can not post, you can only do that if you are aware of what others post and interact with them, this sometimes helps if you use Discord to communicate with some users in groups and channels dedicated to Hive. Another tip is that you participate in contests, challenges and initiatives that are promoted by users or by community moderators, do not do it thinking only of the contest prize, participate with the intention of interacting with other participants, you can include this as part of your agenda or bank of publication topics.

4 Crea una plantilla o estilo / Create a template or style
The use of markdown may seem difficult at first, but my advice is that at first you do not feel limited, use the default tools of the platform's text editor, as long as you make correct use of said tools and differentiate well when a text is English or has a translation in Spanish everything will be fine, the most important thing in a publication is that it be easy to read, I mean that the texts of both languages are not linked, while you are new give yourself time to turn on the markdown, practice when not you are publishing, you only have tests with the codes and the text editor and the preview, once you have achieved that the format of your text and images is the desired one, copy that template and save it, that way you can use the same format every time you make a publication, that will save you time and make your life easier in Hive, little by little you can improve this template as you learn, using custom separators, co Lores and styles that make your publication unique, but there is no rush, it is better to keep it simple while you are new, you will soon achieve it.
5 No pienses solo en la recompensa / Don't just think about the reward
This is the highest advice, my country is in crisis, we cannot compare our interests with those of other people who do not suffer such difficulties, however, if this is your case and you really need the rewards, it is better that you make the effort not to think hard about this, make each publication with the same love and commitment always, do not expect to have the reward to feel motivated, for each Hive user there are always ups and downs, the ideal thing to not feel bad in the downs in not doing it just for economic motivation, don't get me wrong, I live thanks to Hive, but while I'm writing, doing a craft or participating in a contest I'm not thinking about the reward, I'm thinking that I should do well because it fills me with satisfaction to do a good job , that feeling of having put effort into the realization and the reward is having published and that others see my work.
6 Usa de forma consciente las menciones y etiquetas / Consciously use mentions and tags
I think this will be advised by a lot of people but I still keep an eye on it please don't mention too many random users in your posts this is frowned upon no one likes getting a mention notification coming from an unknown person some exceptions apply, such as if the moderators of a community mention you in an invitation, this may interest you and you should be grateful for such a mention, but imagine that you are at home and you have to answer different random calls that strangers make on your door I feel like that's a bit disrespectful, so it's good to only mention people you're having a genuine interaction with, the same goes for mentioning whales or projects.
The correct use of the tags is also important, most projects and whales are not used as tags, except in some cases, for example that in a contest it is a requirement, but in general the tags must be related to the topic of your publication and those that generate a token, for the rest mentioning whales as a label is a very common mistake that even any of us has made at some time, but we must be very careful.
I hope that my advice will help some user, I know that new people do not follow me but I want the title to attract the attention of some user who needs it, I am not an expert and I still have many things to learn, but I like to help whoever needs it because everything I have undertaken in all these years has been thanks to other users, this is the beauty of the community.
