I'm grateful for the opportunity given to me to be a part of the newbies who would be participating in the newbie's challenge.
Without further ado, I will go straight to answering the questions each newbie is expected to answer for the first newbies initiative task.

What are your Hive goals by the End of the Initiative (In 3 months) in terms of Hive Power, followers, comments & engagements, and any other Hive-related goals you have in mind?

The goals I aim to achieve by the end of the initiative in 3months in terms of hive powers are to get at least 500 HP and to have gained up to 200 followers.

I recently received a notification from hive buzz that I've made up to 1000 comments on the blockchain. To be honest, I was surprised to see that I had achieved that and I recently just committed my time to engage with other users on the blockchain.

My other hive-related goal is to try to be known well in communities like makeup, and music communities and also to be able to hold some good tokens in the hive engine.

How do you plan to achieve them?

In terms of HP: I understand that hp are rewards from post and if one has liquid hive, it could be powered up to hp. I've not been able to calculate how much I earn in a week so I don't know. (I guess I have to start calculating that to follow up with the progress).

Recently I challenged myself to publish at least one post every day. I've been able to successfully publish a post every day since February and I love the feeling and the positive effect it has been bringing. I'm sure if I can continue with this and I get support from some whales and other nice hivians, I would be able to achieve at least 500 HP by the end of 3 months.

In terms of followers: I mentioned earlier that I recently committed myself to engaging with other users on the platform.
By following up with the posts of participants in the newbies initiative program and other users on the blockchain. I've been able to find a few interesting people through commenting on posts and within the last month, I was able to gain new followers which I feel excited about even though it's not a massive following. I believe that by making genuine comments on the post of other hivians, they will find it interesting and would be moved to visit my blog then drop me a follow. In summary, for me to gain up to 200 followers in the next three months, I have to do more than publish a post daily, engaging through commenting is important for this to be possible.

Any other hive-related goal: Currently, hive is like my main source of income. I want to be known for my quality content, I want to earn a good amount every week and I want to have fun. As much as I want to be known well in communities like makeup and music, I understand that I have to do my part by being consistent with the content I publish there.

What challenges do you think you may likely face trying to attain these goals?

In terms of hp, the challenges I may face that I think may not let me achieve that goal is if I don't get support on my post and if I'm unable to meet up to post at least once daily. However, Imagine if I publish a post a day all through the week and all the reward on each of the posts is just 2.56, 0.99, etc, if way, I may not achieve that goal of having that hp by the end of 3 months.

In terms of commenting, the challenge I may likely face is having a low battery and sometimes, running out of data. For the past few days, the power supply in my area hasn't been great and it affected my engagements on the platform, however, I still try to publish my post.

In terms of gaining followers, well, if the user I visit does not find my blog interesting, they may not bother dropping me a follow, so on this aspect, this is one challenge I think I may likely face. (I pray I don't face this because I will be giving my all.
