I would say from the depths of my heart this is the best visibility study I have ever seen, incorporating both **SWOT ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE & S.M.A.R.T SYSTEM ANALOGY well I would chip in a thing or so

FIRST

If I make Hive a business, I should first find out what it is, how it generates income through the use of the platform

This is definitely the right strategy and move I just love this ..I know of a friend who quit his teaching job just to focus on hive as his only means of income for his family and also he's a good researcher so he understands that game of making up good content that gets the right votes engagement etc. so it's very possible there re other guys I know that are doing so well on hive that I doubt if they are into something else, but here's a thing Hive for me is a side hustle chain not my main stream for now as you know to reach your goal will take time, most times it can be disappointing too..so in this case you don't get caught up in the middle.

So follow this plan but then make it a side thing ..untill you grow to that hieght were you re stable enough

Then there is the side of gadget internet, time, concentration all of this really matters as they are your main source of creating good content and getting desired engagement so nothing should come between you and these things...

On the other hand there is inspiration, ideas do not always flow when writing, so the generation of posts depends on my mood, time and how inspired I am to write*
.
Writing can be fun as well very diffcult so it's just to make up your mind and set target that you must meet on daily bases...whether you get happy or not ...emotions and mood swings can come in when things don't go as plan that's why I said just make up your mind on achieving your target ...

I hope this helps @morito13 ....do have a great day☺️
