My father says that "there is nothing in the world more valuable than your thoughts", he is certainly right, and even more if those ideas can be used to generate money, because my old man's words become more appropriate to describe what Hive means for my life and that of many in this social network.
Like many people in the world the COVID-19 pandemic has affected me a lot at work, as the need to keep quarantine at home and not being able to attend my daily work has severely affected my income. On the other hand, as a mother I am responsible for my son's well being, therefore, it is important for me to generate income in some way from home.
With this pandemic I feel (maybe you do too) that I am in the middle of a world war against an invisible enemy, which is gradually deteriorating everything that was once unnatural. This makes me feel that the old normality we long for will never return, at least as we knew it, and one of the aspects that has changed forever is work.
Humanity is proving that it can generate income and work from home, for better or worse reality is leading us to that 2.0 working lifestyle. Much of the business, transactions and commercial exchanges are done in front of a screen and in the time it takes to press the enter button. Major movie, TV series, fast food and grocery store platforms moved their real world to the virtual world by attracting people's money using a web portal.
If others were making money on the internet, why not me, what could I do, a youtuber? it seems to me that it requires some production effort and on the other hand it bothers me the tremendous censorship on this video platform; Tic Toc Toc? seems stupid to me, Instagram? maybe, Facebook? no way, very old fashioned, where then could I generate income? The solution came thanks to a friend user of this social network called Hive Blog.
My friend has at least 3 years immersed in Hive, since before the separation of Steemit, because of him I came to Hive and Leofinance, by far my favorite niche in the virtual world. I have been able to see how he has overcome his personal economic situation by realizing a concept that seems to me revolutionary: monetization of quality content. He knows I like written ecommunication and for that reason he encouraged me to be here with you, sharing those ideas, mostly from the economic world and cryptocurrencies that are changing the world so much.
Last January, just a month ago, I opened my account here, you feel total freedom when you realize that unlike other famous websites (such as the "F" for example) your identity is not important, that is, they do not ask you to perform KYC steps, or passport photo, or other data that only seek to steal your identity and what you publish (you know who I mean ...). In Hive your ideas remain forever in a blockchain, which at the same time the same community rewards you if it is considered of quality.
Although Leofinance occupies 90% of my work (I can't help it, I'm in love with this community) the rewards in Hive mean an important income in my personal and family finances at the moment I needed it the most. Personally, traditional banking closed the doors when I wanted to apply for a microcredit for my business, since I am in Hive and with the support of Leofinance and its token LEO I feel very real that dream of independence in my business. Only cryptocurrencies can make your dreams come true, it takes imagination and effort.
For me monetizing my ideas is not a complicated task, if you do what you like ideas flow by themselves like a calm river, what is really hard here is to stop writing and sharing with the rest of the community, to whom I am eternally grateful for the support they give me every day since I am part of this family, they make me feel blessed.
