Crazy!
Just looking over the stats from yesterday's post, it's safe to say people were intrigued by the whole idea of a #thriveonhive challenge
82 comments, 11 reblogs and way over 100 views to the post!
You guys showed up BIG!
So tonight, I thought I could revisit a few tips and tricks on how to get on the path to success with this challenge on Hive.
I read everyone's comments and I'll go over a few of them in this post, that'll hopefully help people get fired up for growing their accounts on the blockchain :)
Believe it or not, this is the number one factor that seems to stop people in their tracks on chain! Finding things to write about when most of us aren't what you would call...Authors...Is tough!
I'll give you a few tips that have helped me over the years...
Read A Lot - Maybe you aren't into diving into a book, the point is to fill your mind with tons of content that interests you. Watch videos, listen to TED talk, attend live streams. And you will be blown away with what you can discuss with others on your blog.
Journal It All - And then after you soak up that content, write it down so that you remember it down the road. Trust me, you won't remember everything you learned today in a few weeks from now. So get into the habit of journaling everything you pick up, and you'll have a never ending arsenal of topics to create content with!
Yup, been there, done that too!
Here's a few things I've learned along the way when you get stuck....
Use Your Network - Simply commenting more on people's posts or hanging out in a Hive based Discord is a great way to get out of rut! I truly believe, this community in general, wants to see each other win. So use that network you have built, get out there and see if someone can 'gently' kick you in the butt to get back on track!
Taking A Day Off...Is O.K. But... - Life happens! It's completely understandable that you may miss a day or two of working on your challenge. Doing these tasks everyday is hard work, and sometimes...We need a break! The key though is to get back on the horse as soon as you can. Don't let a day off, turn into a week off...
Here's the truth...No one owes you a thing on chain. The whales, the dolphins, the orcas...No one owes you an upvote, a comment, a reblog...Nothing! If you approach this challenge to build your Hive account up, relying on others...You will give up before you even start.
Because the truth is, I've been at this for almost 5 years now and I have my moments of glory here lol But that never stops me from showing up tomorrow regardless. If my post earned 5 bucks or 50 bucks...I still show up! Every time ANYONE votes my content, shares my content or comments on my posts, I'm TRULY grateful and so thankful for it.
But I know I cannot expect it tomorrow!
What can we control?
Our own actions, so that tells me...I need to show up AGAIN tomorrow, and continue to add value as best I can. Everything seems to work out when you approach it like this.
You are your own little business here!
Treat every day like you are serving the community by adding value in the form of content, comments, curation etc. The more you serve Hive, Hive seems to return the favor. No one is looking over your shoulder. No one is checking you work like I mentioned yesterday. However, people genuinely want to see you do good!
And like the old business saying goes...People do business with those they know, like and trust. So your job, every day in this challenge (if you take part) is to get people to know, like and trust you!
Everything else will come together after that :)
