I welcome you to my blog. I and so many of my friends stepped into the hive and Cryptocurrency ecosystem together, but they are no longer active. Before they left, they kept asking, What do we post? And How do we go about posting? Content creation is one of the most difficult things I have come across in my life. Sometimes you have a picture in your head, but you just cannot pass the message through writing.

I see older users, and how they manage to make a post daily is only a mystery to me because even when given a clue or a contest to talk about, I always think about how to write until I arrive at a minimum of 300 words. Going through my blog in my early days as a Hivian, I realized my longest post had just 200 words, not even up to 300, and the day I made that post, I was so proud of myself.
When my friends gave up, I almost did the same thing. We used to encourage ourselves, and now I am completely on my own with no one to encourage me or tell me to keep going. I had no other source of income except hive; if I give up, what do I fall back to? So I devised strategies to help me stay active on the platform, and these strategies include:
There are hundreds of communities on the hive platform; from there, you can select which one you best fit into. I see users who post in many communities as well as users who post in just one. Wherever you best fit in, just stick to it. If you are good with finance-related contents, the Leofinance community is a good one for you, and if you are good with fiction and nonfiction contents, there's a community for you as well. Finding your niche on the Hive platform helps you stay active and not leave the platform.
At some point, I feel like I am addicted to Hive, as I cannot go a day without visiting the platform, and if I eventually visit, I will stay for hours and won't be able to leave. I will keep scrolling and trying to engage with a few posts I come across; no day passes that I don't visit the hive platform, no matter how tight my schedule for the day is, even if I don't make a post I visit to scroll through.
I feel incomplete if I stay for long without visiting the Give platform. I feel like something is missing or that I am missing out on something.
Many of us rushed to join the platform because it pays; we joined as newbies and were not getting paid at all, or the pay was little, and we got discouraged along the way. See Hive as a social media platform where you come to have fun and not earn; that way, even when the pay is low, you will still stick to the platform.
Trust me, it takes a lot to stay active on the hive platform, but the few discussed above really helped me overcome the discouragement at my early stage as a Hivian. I don't regret it, and I don't think I will ever regret sticking to the platform despite the ups and downs.
Thanks for reading my post.
