I have been freelancing for years now, and a friend of mine, whom I’ve known for almost a decade, was aware of my writing.
Every now and then, I would reach out to remind him that I still offered writing services, just in case he knew someone who needed a writer.
But as life got busier, with school and other responsibilities taking over, we naturally lost touch. By then, I had already progressed from content writing to creative writing and had started ghostwriting for people.
Then one day, out of the blue, I got a call from him while I was in class. It was unexpected, and since I couldn’t pick up, I made a mental note to call him back later. When I finally did, he told me about an opportunity he believed would benefit me.
When I got home, I saw a DM from him.
I quote:
“There’s an opportunity that I think you will benefit from. Do you still love to write? Call me!”
And so, I did!
He remembered how passionate I was about finding platforms where I could write for fun, and when he explained the benefits that came with Hive, I was convinced to give it a try.
More than that, he took the time to walk me through the entire process—helping me create and set up my account.
For me, it’s the support, community, intentionality, and earning potential.
I have noticed that Hive isn’t just a platform, but a space where creatives come together to support and uplift one another.
The engagement here is intentional, not just surface-level interactions. People read, respond, and genuinely connect.
Apart from that, the earning potential is a game-changer. Knowing that your creativity and effort are valued in more ways than just engagement makes Hive stand out from other platforms.
I’m grateful for that call and the friend who thought of me when he found something worthwhile. Sometimes, all it takes is one person to point you in the right direction. 💜
