RE: Ask the Hive: If you could go back in time, what would you tell your newbie self about your Hive journey?

in Ask the Hive3 years ago

I wouldn't. I've enjoyed the journey and in this case, working hard on all fronts (posting, engaging, curating) paid off for me. Maybe I shouldn't have taken a loooong break, but on the other hand, mentally that was all I could do at the time. So yeah, I'm content.

Advice-wise:

  • Stick to yourself: Write about what you like, because that's how you'll endure through all of the low payouts at the start.
  • Find people to follow who write about what you like, so it's easier to engage and you'll grow up together.
  • Join communities you're interested in and post in them. It can do a whole lot of good for your reach.
  • Learn about all of the other tokens! (I'm still in the process of doing this aswell...)

¡Yeesss! it's horrible, I still don't understand the tokens either (I'm more lost than you) I've tried to understand and mix and match and read in some places but in the end, I still don't understand how to use them and what do.

Me neither! It's been really confusing while coming back with many different front-ends and tokens (and I consider myself a smart person!). For now, I've decided to create an alt account for short posts (twitter-like) and picked a different platform to use, hoping I could get used to other front-ends and see how to earn other tokens there. The first one didn't give me the option to set a post title, so I switched. The next one doesn't let me upload images, probably due to a low reputation, so I only consume content there, but I do get tokens. It's on Ecency and you can use those tokens to boost your posts, like adds inbetween feeds I think. Just tried that for the first time. But then I look at Hive Engine and see the huge amount of tokens there and I desperately don't want to know about tokens anymore! Sooooo many...

Well I think I will go back to ecency forgetting all my frustration to try to understand more. Lol

Haha, yeah maybe that's the trick, just pick a few that seem interesting and ignore the rest!
