Hive redefining Work - Fun is all you need to Earn
I could remember when I was younger, everyone would tell you how you must work so hard to really succeed. You sit to hear hope some would explain what hard work means and you just see yourself having to cut the rock for hours before you could ever make a living. Later on, I was told we can work smart with our pen. That is, when you make good grades, you get employed to work in the office and all you do is do a few signings with your biro and you earn some fix amounts after 22 days.
When socialmedia surfaced in the 2000s, it was just a place to catch the fun, meet friends and keep memories alive, but sooner, it became a good space to market your business and draw some more patrons to your product and services. However, we were never told that we were actually working for Mark and other top web 2 socialmedia owners while they used our data to make "big money".
Joining Hive really changed the narrative about so many things concerning earning for work. It started from not having to go to a routine work everyday to get paid at the end of the month to being paid after 7 days of staying at home and writing some solid piece of contents. We never really cared about meeting people. The emphasis was how to pen your long content and get upvoted by those "big guys" here.
Soon after, I got to know it wasn't really the length of the content but how to keep it creative and interesting. How to keep a reader coming again and again.
Over time, that changed too and I began to understand the wonders of curating just like I'll be "liking" a post on web 2 social media, yet, I earn 50% of what I give to my choice content and so it gerw and grew.
Just before we could be done with curation, another phase opened up where you can earn from engaging and commenting on the posts of others thereby allowing you to make shorter contents yet earn some more by making more imoressions.
Today, a community like @LeoFinance is building #ProjectBlank project which has the functionalities of web 2 media, yet with the censorship resistant nature and data back feature of we 3 protocol.
Taking a look the tool above which is used to track engagement (number of comments made on a particular frontend and the quality of comments in terms of length and spread. The quality and count beyond a certain thresh hold is then rewarded with upvotes from a dedicated account. It all started out with @Leomarkettalk where top engagement is rewarded with LEO earned from the account. Now we see a spread to all Hive tribes.
With this development, a user can just stay in a day just to comment on posts from dedicated frontends and alas, earns some huge tokens through engagement curation. All these are happening on Hive built to be fast, scalable and powerful enough to contain any level of dapp development that can maximize its free resources.
Few months ago, I got inteested in a token called SPORTS. I saw its beautiful future and used my pizza budget to purchase some. I also earned from my comment and today the stake of SPORTS grows to the highs of 64 million and still counting.
At this juncture, I might decide not to be making posts on daily basis and just stick to commenting and "liking" other people's posts. Yet at the end of the day, I will earn as much as three times of what my FG is paying to her young graduates on monthly basis.
A decent $200+ on a monthly basis for just "liking' posts is simply incredible. This is paying huge and this, from fun. This justifies my position that Hive redefining Work - Fun is all you need to Earn. This is just one piece of the many options available on this blockchain.
Other users stay on with playing games and are happily filling their money bags on daily basis. We're still in the beginning of things, stay around and benefit.
It can only get better!

Clear explanation of how 99% of Nigerians and some other people around the world were mentored about life. Even till today our parents still believe that good grades in school determines how bright a child's future is, in a country where unemployment has been the other of the day. And if we try to tell them, all they say is that they have been in this life long before us, accepted. But what they don't know is that during their time, they were at the dis-information age.
@uyobong, I really admire your level of thinking, your strategy, and the positive impact you have put in this community. I personally use you as example anytime I introduce new users to hive, and they get encouraged.

You captured it right. Parents need financial education for themselves and to help them guide their children right. Just as they adopt tech for other aspect of their lives, they shouldn't neglect the place of tech in Finance.

Hahaha this is totally true, we were never told in the early 2000s that we were working for mark and his guys to hit the big money. We just wanted to have fun and meet people. It's different nowadays, who wants to sit around on Facebook doing nothing? Things like blockchain technology has been instrumental and look how far you and I have come.

Thanks to blockchain technology especially Hive that first modelled what the socialmedia space should be like.

Indeed, recently I have become scared of looking for a monthly job because I can't bear to see myself waking up so early and going to work every day only to get the pay at the end of the month.
Most of my friends say I am lazy since I have refused to apply for a job but that isn't true. The truth is over the couple of months I have been steady in Hive, I have become accustomed to waking up any time to pen down my thought with the assurance that at the end of seven days, I get my pay without struggle or having to beg anyone to pay me my agreed stipends.
And yeah, over the months, not only have I earned weekly that if put together it is bigger than the monthly payment of one working in a private sector but I have also learned to think of new things, to think of how to be creative and make my content interesting so I can attract others around me.
For me, in a platform like Hivelist and Charry, I have actually not done any post but I have stuck to commenting on other people's posts to earn the token, and indeed, it is fun doing that. The funny part is when I tell others about what I do to earn a living, they are just surprised that I could earn a living just making a post, commenting on a post in one blockchain that looks like Facebook where we work for Mark to earn his living but we also work for ourselves and for the community at large.
They call you lazy because you've not opened up the awesomeness of the work you're doing on Hive. Just like tech brings convenience to other aspect of life,, it does same with work.
Alwas feel free to share this with us so it adds as the testimonials we put up for Hive.

Will do that.
May I ask ask you @uyobong rather personal question, why are you unstaked LEO for buing HIVE? Do you think that LEO will dump against HIVE?
Thanks for answer.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I did unstake LEO to buy HIVE so I can diversify my investment. Everything was on LEO an that wasn't good enough. Now, other tokens also have a fair share of my investment slot. Moreover, I need to power-up HIVE as a big airdrop is coming in the near future.

wow i love this piece of content, it's so inspiring and contains real facts. Thanks to this advent of decentralized blockchain platform for saving us the waste of data on facebook and those centralized social medias generating daily revenue for themselves alone from our activities on their platforms.
@uyobong, believe me, you're a source inspiration to many users and newbies here. Gone are those days when people believe that you only have to work hard under the hot sun to have your financial freedom, today, it's a different ball game entirely that worths appreciating. I know how most graduates today are being marginalized and denied of their human rights and so on. Even those employed are barely fulfilled or contented with their monthly pay since the local currency itself is less valuable.
You made a very wise decision many need to learn from. You got committed to more and more staking of your tokens while denying yourself the pleasure of usurping your funds for needs and liabilities. That's discipline, persistence and sacrifice. Now this moment, you earn even more than thrice the salary of most monthly paid graduates in various formal establishments and parastatals in Nigeria, and this is just the beginning because the more the time spent here the more your account grows and the more your payout. It's a pity that many people are oblivious of this system while many people are ignorant as well. Kudos to you and thanks for the awarenesses on how engagements are rewarded on #leofinance.

Thank you very much for these kind words. Glad I had people who advised me. This is the reason I'm all out to inspire others to succeed. I'll be happy to help build more wealthy people from Hive tokens.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You're welcome @uyobong. I hope to be among these wealthy people as time goes on. You've taken a great step and i see you soar higher and higher.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Start the process now by beginning to build your stakes irrespective of how tiny they are. They'll add up in the future.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Definitely. Since i earn less on author reward for the past few weeks, i decided to power down my leo and some amount of my stake on hive to help get some other layer tokens on the hive-engine which i think have valuable potentials in the nearest future. Provided i have more support probably from a whale or hawkers by an active mean or through autovote I see no reason powering down from my account. I really desire to grow pass this level @uyobong
