My journey on Hive began more than 15 months ago. I joined Hive on May, 2021. I created my first post on 27th May while my introduction post on 7th June, 2021. I heard that the introduction posts always do well as this tag is being given special importance, but nothing like this happened to my introduction post. Hehe. It could only brought me 0.19 Hive Rewards.
However, it didn’t really matter. I was welcomed by some of my fellows who knew me from another platform, uptrennd (it was dead by then). I didn’t come to Hive with a mind-set of easy money. I knew it takes time and sincere efforts to be known on a social media platform. I was ready to work in the line. So the initial low rewards didn’t hurt me.
During my whole journey, I never had to face any issue with regards to Resource Credits or do’s and don’ts of the platform. It is because I was not only guided well by 
Some time later a kind soul on Hive, 
In June 2021 I was selected for Newbie Initiative. At that time, one batch would remain under the program for one month. The program supported me to build my account. My first post that reached the double figure in terms of HP was the one written for the initiative.
Outside the initiative, the first post that got an upvote from a whale, curangel, was written for The Weekend Community. It really made me happy. Hehe.
The second and third post that reached to double figure was also written for the community Weekend Experiences.
In July, I found out about #pob-wotw, which is now modified as #dreem-wotw with some variations. I participated in it consistently. Some of my posts written under this tag performed really well.
Meanwhile, I was also digging other niche communities including Eco-train, Abundance Tribe, Ladies of Hive, Shadow Hunters, Cross culture, Wednesday Walk, The Inkwell, and Freewriters. I admired the community Dcooperation and its tag #DCC a lot. And yes, I have been with Dreemport since its inception.
During 2021, I couldn’t maintain consistency on Hive despite all my desires to do so. Sometimes I could produce only a couple of posts the whole month. This perhaps was the reason I didn’t receive votes from whales often. The highest hive rewards any of my post could get was 20.
On December 30th, 2021 I created a post in the community WE ARE ALIVE TRIBE the first time.
The following week was the very first time I received the weekly author badge. 😀. So far I have received this badge only twice 🤣.
Usually, I publish 3 to 4 posts a week. Though I want to do more but my routine and responsibilities do not allow. 😔
On April 2nd, 2022 I joined the community Hive Learners. The support from this community played a significant part in my accounts growth.
Up till today, I have created 234 post. (The publication of this one would change the number to 235). I have made more than 5000 comments and received more than 4500 replies; have upvoted more than 12000 posts and comments, and have 15000 upvotes.
Here are some charts that I extracted from Peakd.
The highest author reward I have ever got in a day is 21 HP and 10 HBD.
The Highest curation Reward is 1.85.
The curation reward reached to this level during the time when value of Hive had increased.
The highest number of comments I made in a day is 125
Let’s come to the account growth now.
On May 1st, 2022 my Hive Power was 620. On June 1st, it was 6640. On July 1st, my HP reached 820. 😃. This drastic increase was not a result of any magic but I had converted all my accumulated HBD to Hive Power, and I regret why I did it that day.
Actually the value was higher than HBD for some months, that’s why I didn’t convert HBD to Hive. I waited for the value of Hive to come down. It came down to 0.8 and then it kept on dangling between 0.9 to 0.8. I thought it wouldn’t go down further. One day I converted all my HBD to Hive when it was 0.8, and powered them up.
Alas! Right after that day Hive displayed a down trend and even reached to 0.38 $🙄. Had I converted the HBD at this rate, my Hive Power would be more than it is today. Well, that’s the part of crypto experiences. Nobody can tell the exact timing for the best trade.
Last week, after 17 moons of my life on Hive, I reached 1000 HP😀. My Hive Power hit the four digit number....!
How long it took! But finally it happened.
My average Author reward is still not very high. It is 4.269.
However, the year 2022 was relatively better in terms of consistency and growth. I wish to reach 2000 HP by the end of this year. For this purpose, I am trying to engage as much as I can. May God help me achieve the target 🤞
