"Probably" The No.1 Thing Not To Do On Hive

avatar

It's been almost four years since I had my introductory post on Steem and it meant the world for me. I felt right from the beginning that this blogging experience is going to be one of a kind, although I wasn't blogging prior to creating my account on the dead chain and it's sure been a hell of a ride.

I have managed to survive a quite bad start, a frustrating one to two years as a "paid content creator" and a takeover of the blockchain by some shithead with money. Now, happily enjoying "our Hive" and honestly can't imagine a day going by without being active in here. I'm constantly hustling for new topics to blog about and quite heavily connected with the community in here, especially the Leofinance one.

The idea when I started was to blog about technology, mostly smartphones related, and anything complementary, but I got to the point where I can say that I've put out content on almost anything you can imagine from blockchain, crypto to photography, yoga, life style, rants and ramblings and so on. It hasn't been easy though.

As the bull market rushes forward and HIVE will appreciate in dollar valuation more and more users will join the blockchain. Splinterlands has done a tremendous job in attracting new users for the past year and the increasing dollar valuation oh HIVE will further work on that matter. Some of them(the new users) will be in shock though, once everything gets wild.

We already have posts that are earning good money and hitting trending page(not mine of course), but when $10 HIVE will hit us, we'll probably have $1,000 posts on a daily basis. Some of the newbies will get depressed, seeing that their work is not making much fuzz and many will feel like quitting and that's one of the biggest mistakes they can make. Probably the biggest mistake they'll make though is comparing themselves with other users.

You should never do that. I learned that from my own experience. If I were to keep on aligning myself with other content creators I wouldn't be around here right now. We're in "different bubbles" and it's irrelevant to compare yourself with others. If anyone to compare with is yourself, pretty much as in real life.

Don't even look at rewards for the first year or so, it's irrelevant. I personally know so many people that have joined the platform at pretty much the same time with myself and none is still active. Most of my community around here is less than two years old. The only ones I remember from my "early times" are @toofasteddie and @dragosroua.

Dragos was sort of a role model back then. If you're someone new to Hive and reading this post now, I would advise you to cut comparison tendencies out right from their early roots. They will lead you nowhere. You'd better work on engaging and creating yourself a community rather than putting yourself side by side with others.

Hope everyone has a great day/evening and see you to the next one.

Thanks for attention,
Adrian

Took me a full year to buy/earn as many coins as I get every month now.

Pretty... wild.

You can show the middle finger to Amazon now. I sure know it took me some time before I "earned anything" from blogging on Hive. In my own stupidity I believed I will make it one day, stopped looking at others and done the Forest Gump run... Early days have been hard as fuck.

That makes two of us. I enjoy reading your content because they are relatable.

Good advice, hard to follow. I remember I used to get such advice when I was ready to quit (I even missed a few months). Not looking at the trending page! It was hard not to see the difference.
The truth is we each have our own speed and a thousand causes that make us more successful or not.
Perseverance is the key. For those who can...

Perseverance is definitely key, too...
It's not hard to not compare yourself to others when the only goal you have is to constantly better yourself.

Couldn't agree more. If you want to succeed on HIVE just be consistently unique and authentic with your posts.
