Interesting take on what it takes to be successful on Hive. I think patience and consistency are two big keys too. It is very possible to write the worlds best most creative and unique post and get near $0.00 in Hive for it if you are new as there are just SO many new posts every day/hour being generated. And that can be very discouraging, but with every relationship you build, and every quality post you make you can and will grow.
