Greetings to all today I join the initiative created by @rutablockchain to talk about my beginnings in Hive, before starting I would like to invite @ismaelgranados @yetsimar @tsunsica to participate

Like many of us here, I started on the previous platform, but this post is not about that, it's about the Hive, so I must say that one of the things that surprised me in Hive was that until then the Latino community had a space very small, I am not referring to the quality or breadth of the content in Spanish, I am referring to the few projects or whales that supported the content, so my great surprise when I entered Hive was to see the support of several whales for the posts and the communities Latinas, before Hive I didn't even know that these whales existed, that undoubtedly motivated me a lot and I'm sure it motivated the content curation projects in Spanish because after a while I see how they are in constant contact and develop initiatives together with those whales that we initially saw so distant.

We have all had mistakes in our beginnings, my mistakes were largely due to my limiting thoughts, one of those thoughts that limited me was that I had been a bit absent from the previous platform when Hive was born and therefore I was not up to date. so much about a lot of things and I was a bit embarrassed to ask because with my time on the platform I should already be aware of those things by then. My first mistake was that I didn't post within the communities, I didn't understand how they worked and again I didn't ask anyone, I just saw something at the top of the posts that said hive- followed by a number and I didn't even know what that was. 😱 so I kept posting directly to my blog and luckily every now and then I got upvotes there.

Another of my beginner mistakes was not diversifying my content, I limited myself to making a crochet amigurumi and posting about the tutorial at least once a week and that was it, I limited myself a lot, I was even embarrassed to comment to others their publications, I only voted for other posts the day I entered the platform to publish and already, I did not know at that time that comments were important to get to know people, to increase the visibility of my publications, I did not know that I was not even active for the days that I was weaving my next post it was bad for my account because I lost the opportunity to at least vote and with my small voting power to have a small healing reward.

But without a doubt my biggest obstacle was the trauma I had of publishing about my personal life, so I missed participating in initiatives because most of them are focused on people's lives, their experiences, their emotions and their opinions, trying to get out of that trauma and starting to have fun in Hive was a big step and above all it helped me to improve, today I am Delfin and although my work with crafts is good I know that publishing only within that sphere would not go that far, so my advice for every beginner it is to diversify the content and lose fear.

Creo que en aquel entonces la única persona con quien no me sentía avergonzada de preguntar mis dudas fue @fmbs25 y siempre la menciono en mis publicaciones porque estoy muy agradecida con ella, por otro lado nada lo logré sola debo decir que todo lo que he hecho lo logré gracias a la comunidad de Hive, porque en esta comunidad siempre hay gente de buen corazón que publica tutoriales para todo y yo compensaba mi miedo a preguntar con mi amor por leer, así que agradezco mucho a todos esos usuarios que publicaban tutoriales útiles acerca del manejo de las cuentas y de la plataforma en general, ejemplo de estos es @eugelys quien gracias a sus posts titulados “Hive para Newbies” me ayudó muchísimo porque aprendí a publicar dentro de las comunidades, igualmente personas como @victoriabs con sus tutoriales e incluso llegué a usar algunos tutoriales compartidos por @roadstories a quien agradezco porque gracias su tutorial ya se cambiar Hive en Binance 😁

I think back then the only person I wasn't embarrassed to ask my questions to was @fmbs25 and I always mention her in my posts because I'm so grateful to her, on the other hand I couldn't do anything alone I must say that everything I've done I made it thanks to the Hive community, because in this community there are always good-hearted people who post tutorials for everything and I made up for my fear of asking with my love of reading, so I really appreciate all those users who posted helpful tutorials about of account management and the platform in general, an example of these is @eugelys who, thanks to his posts entitled "Hive for Newbies" helped me a lot because I learned to publish within the communities, as well as people like @victoriabsb with their tutorials and I even got to use some tutorials shared by @roadstories whom I thank because thanks to his tutorial I already know how to change Hive on Binance 😁

La cosa cambió un poco para mi cuando entraron mis amigos a Hive porque si yo no sabía algo ellos estaban allí para investigar , ejemplo de esto es mi amiga @tsunsica a quien agradezco mucho por enseñarme a usar mejor los votos automáticos y mejorar el maquetado, también a mi amigo @ismaelgranados a quien agradezco haberme enseñado cosas sobre los otros tokens y sobre hive engine, porque debo decirlo al inicio yo ni sabia de la existencia de otros tokens.

Things changed a bit for me when my friends joined Hive because if I didn't know something they were there to investigate, an example of this is my friend @tsunsica whom I thank a lot for teaching me how to better use automatic votes and improve the layout, also to my friend @ismaelgranados whom I thank for teaching me things about the other tokens and about the hive engine, because I must say it at the beginning I didn't even know about the existence of other tokens.

Currently many people come to me for advice, however, I can only give advice based on my experience on layout, choosing communities depending on the topic, use of tags, among other things, but I always tell you that no vote is guaranteed and each person should try to create their content as well as possible, always with the certainty of doing the right thing without getting discouraged, because perseverance pays off, and after a while something very beautiful is harvested here, such as good relationships and friendships within the platform.
