Welcome to the reality. A vivid example of "what I ordered versus what I got." 😂

Now that you've been humbled, ensure you stay put so that you can pack all the dollars that'll come in near future. 🤣

Seriously, you aren't the only one who got sold on this idea of "get rich quick" on Hive. Many had that experience and got frustrated along the way. I !LUV that you're still determined to give it a shot.

Hive is actually a great platform that can pay your bills if only you understand how things work. From your post, I see you write well so keep it up. Endeavour to join communities of choice. @yechee has suggested some, there's More. Just go to communities section and check it out.

Most importantly, engage with other users or creators, that'll help you grow. If you love micro-blogging, hop into Inleo Threads, Waves, Snapie. You'll meet amazing people there and earn some cents too.

That said, warm welcome to you. I hope you'll enjoy it here.
