From Discovery to Delight: My Journey on Hive

in HiveGhana10 months ago (edited)
Joining Hive is like a dream come true for me because I like to write. I can now get value for the content I own. I was introduced to Hive at a seminar Organised by the Computer Science Society at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.

I got interested and decided to join. It was hard at the beginning because I was doubtful if it were all true. After some time of doubting, I decided to give it a try.
When I made my first post, I was very happy I got people to vote and comment on my post. To be honest, I was very excited. I told almost all my family members about it thinking my subsequent posts will be like that. I even remember telling my brother I was going to be the breadwinner of the family and also be their sponsor.

I never thought my second post would break my heart. I got nearly no votes and less comments on my post. I was discouraged because I put in a lot of work and thought people would like it, even more than the first one but guess what, I was dreaming.

It was another post by another blogger which lifted me and put me in the mood to keep on writing on Hive. I decided to keep going.
@collinz has played a major part in my journey on Hive. He is like a guide who keeps me on the right track in writing and posting on Hive. He checks my every post and tells me what to do right. He is always there anytime I have questions about the block chain and answers me accordingly and I'm so thankful to him for everything.

I learned about markdowns and tags through links left in the comment section under my posts and also from other friends. I learned about communities through the seminar and also with the help of @collinz.

I look forward to building great relations, inspiring others and learning from others here on Hive and I hope my journey here would be a successful one.

the introduction posts can be a blessing or a curse :) usually there are a lot of people that want to welcome new people. the most important thing at the beginning is to find active communities that you are interested in. for me it was a photo contest community that is not even active anymore and most of the people are working on other projects on hive, but i always check on what is up with them.

second thing is engagement. hive does not have algorithms as web 2 to push or censor your content, so engagement with other people is important.

Good luck on your journey :)

Thank you

I'm very proud of you and happy to see how you're progressing. I understand very well that it can be demoralizing when your posts receive little or no attention. I have experienced this many times and I've gotten used to how things work here on Hive. I've learned not to feel entitled to anything here, and that's what really helped me move on. Just do what you're good at, engage, connect with people, and keep writing, no matter what. The rewards will come to you naturally. Although rewards may seem like the main motivating factor, there are many more benefits that you will discover over time. Keep going and never give up! @awuraadwoa20
