My Hive journey
I joined Hive long ago, but at that time, I was not too serious about it. To be honest, it seemed complicated to me, and I never believed I could earn something from there. Gradually, I lost my interest.
Time went by, life wrapped me in other things, and slowly, I forgot about Hive.
I found Hive from YouTube. 4 years back, I was looking for "how to earn money by blogging." You know, the generic search results. Many things came up, and a few videos later, I found one that was talking about Hive, Steemit, PublishOX, etc.
After searching for a few days, Hive seemed like a place where I could land. I started posting and engaging, but it seemed impossible to catch up and get attention. I lost interest after a few months, thinking this place was not for me.
Last year, when the BTC price was up, Hive caught my attention, too, and it reminded me that I have an account there. So silly... I started scrolling again and gained interest in some communities. I'm going through some financial struggles as well, and I'm taking a chance on Hive to see if I can do something here to make a change in my life.
There is no filter for accepting that the monetary side is one of the big motivations for me to resume my Hive journey. Nevertheless, I realized it's a powerful tool to have a profile outside traditional social media where I can share. This time, I'm determined to stick around.
What I like most about Hive
The community.
People's interactions feel genuine.
I can earn without investing any money.
I can express, write, and share.
The discord communication.
Ladies of the hive, they are supportive.
How people support each other.
Appreciation for the effort.
Connecting with people around the world.
Seeing life through words.
Easy to understand and start compared to other platforms.
There are many more. Hive gives me a positive vibe. I have checked other similar platforms but the rules took my interest away. Because doing a 9-5 job and being active in multiple places is not an easy task. I can't do more here because of the fact.
I wouldn't lie, I sometimes feel frustrated. That's temporary. I gain confidence writing regularly and am determined to improve my posts, engagement, etc.
