Hive is not a secret. I have observed a lot of people on the Hive. And notice how they are reaching the place where they are. And how did it worked out for them. So I thought of the formula for this Hive chain.
Hive works in a ways where you would be doing series of steps that would be earning you the rewards. And if you consistently do this that would be something that sticks with you and make you pretty good author here on Hive.
I think when you create the content, it kind of gets you some flow. And in that flow you continue to create and would earn along the way. I feel that when you are in the same process you should consider the creating the content in the topic in the tribes where you get some interaction.
You can consume the content when you are not creating the content. Consuming content out of the blue is not something that happens. Consumption should be done with the tribe of your choice, this way you would have your presence around the content.
Just writing and consuming the content would only stress you out. And in this case you have create the post and also write comment under the post of other users. When you curate the content it adds up on the rewards. You would get them in terms of the HP and also if comment gets vote that would earn the HBD.
When you work with this formula at some point in the journey, you are going to be reaping the rewards. And that is a good thing for you. So in order for the rewards to stick in your wallet you have to think of staking it when you are keeping it idle.
I feel this formula is what I should follow. And you may notice this being followed on the weekly basis for my account too. So you should give it a try if planning to do the Hive account power a try.
