RE: Nothing on Hive is promised... and that is okay with me

in LeoFinance2 years ago

It's a nice story and I'm happy that this is working out for you! I truly hope it will continue to work out for the rest of your life. It's also nice that you want to help people to reach this level as well, but I think success will depend on a lot of factors and will be for everyone different. Nevertheless I guess there are some things we can do at Hive that have been proven their success already. (I haven't been looking deeper into your account and previous posts but) maybe it's a good idea to share in some posts some things that have been succesful for you. I don't mean the good practises like engaging, daily curating, be nice, and make "interesting" content, use some tiptokens and get some back, etc. But things like automated voting, which tiptokens to use (because they're easy to build up a minimum from which you can use them yourself), dustsweeping etc. Here's some !LUV. Keep up the good work!

Sort:  

It is certain that full-time Hive is not for everyone, at least not at this stage. It takes a certain type of person to want to make the sacrifices that it takes.

That's a great recommendation for future content, thanks for the comment. I'm not really big on automated voting anymore, you are better off just delegating to a program that curates such as @leo.voter or @ocdb. That's only if you don't wish to curate manually yourself on a daily basis. As for tip tokens, I'd say @poshtoken is the one I'm most interested in. You can find more information about that in this post of mine. You mentioned dust sweeping. I'm not really sure what you are talking about there. The only thing I can think of is the dust votes that don't actually payout.

Why I'm "better off" with delegating to a program that curates instead of automated voting (to people I like or I like their content)? I'll definitely take a look in these you're pointing out. I'll certainly look as well into your post about posh as soon as I've got some time in the next days. Maybe I've missed something, but in generally I know that one needs to repost his posts on Twitter and than other people need to curate or retweet it in the next 24h. I'm not using Twitter a lot. I did it for a while, but it caused me only stress, asking people not to forget to do this and in the end it didn't bring almost anything if my wife wasn't doing it... so I stopped with that one at least for a while...

Auto vote services can go down sometimes. Manual curation is a better process because sometimes people get lazy with their content once they start getting auto votes. The curation process is meant to be natural, not automated. I’m not saying auto votes should be banned or anything like that. I just know that I myself have decided to stop using auto votes. You are welcome to do as you please.

As for Posh Token, it sounds like you already have a good understanding of the process. It is true that if your tweets get little to no activity, then the amount of POSH that you earn is pretty insignificant in value, at least right now. If the token were to increase in value sometime in the future, it may be a different story.

icompletely follow your point on manual curation, but I really need automated processes, because what I "earn" on Hive at the moment is really insignificant and I really have a busy work- and family life. The time I'm spending here the last moment I can absolutely not continue to spend in the next few months...
Back to the POSH tokens. Do you know about a script that I can run, or any other way that my posts automatically would be tweeted? Maybe with a Python script?
Or do you know anyone here who could know about this? In that case, please tag or ask. I'm sorry that it's against your nature and hard manual work, but in my opinion sometimes we need to use the technical help and automatization tools which exist...

If you delegate to the projects I mentioned, they will send you a share of the curation rewards they receive.

If you want to auto vote, then I think that https://hive.vote/ is a decent option.

That’s a good idea about automating your posts to be tweeted, but I’m not sure how to do it. Surely it’s possible. I can’t tell you a bunch of devs who would know how off the top of my head, but I feel like @themarkymark may know. Maybe try to ask him on one of his future AMA posts, he does them all the time and always replies.

Ok, thanks again for the advice. Good advice and help are always welcome!

You don't need to delegate to any project, you can easily just follow any accounts you feel are doing a good job curating on Hive.vote. The last hard fork removed the penality for trailing other votes.

What is "trailing other votes"? I'm sorry if I ask silly questions but English isn't my mother tongue and I'm still learning every day on Hive...
@daltono mentioned that you might now how and what to do to get my Hive posts automatically posted / tweeted on my Twitter. Any idea? Some Python script maybe? Do you know about anyone that you could think of doing this?

Trailing votes means that once a certain account votes on something, your account will automatically vote right after they do. You can find a curation trail of your choice on hive.vote.

About the dust sweeping, I'll write a small blog soon. Just need some time and to gether the info from a few places :-)

Please mention me when you publish your post about dust vote "sweeping" (and "fluffing")! 🤗

!CTP

I'll try not to forget. I might be writing it in one of the planes I'll be taking when I'll be on Holiday in about 3 weeks !LUV !CTP

Maybe it's better to enjoy the view outside the plane while it is flying rather than writing a blog post on the spot, unless you are either tired of riding planes or are afraid of heights. 🤔😏

Thanks for the !LUV and the !CTP! 😀

In the clouds there's nothing really to see... And even though nowadays I don't fly a lot, I guess I've been there, seen it... I've been so many times taking planes taht I rather have something to kill the time with, both at the airport and in the plain itself... !LUV !CTP

Do you mean "plane" instead of plain? 🤔🤓

Anyway, you can still enjoy the sights below if there are little to no clouds. 😏

Thanks for the !LUV and the !CTP! 😀
