Consistency on Hive

"Being consistent is all about being committed to your actions, and it is the quickest way to climb the ladder of success."

"Consistency is key" - I have heard that line so many times, I'm sure you have too!

The word "consistent" according to the dictionary reads "acting or done in the same way over time, especially to be fair or accurate."

I love the last line ", especially to be accurate"
Does that mean a consistent person would one day become accurate? Or does consistency guarantee success?

While I think there is no 100% route to success, I believe being consistent pays.

What does it mean to be consistent on Hive?

According to @taskmaster4450 in a recent interview with him, he said:

If there is anything I can say to anyone coming to Hive; The thing to tattoo to your forehead or wherever. Put the word CONSISTENCY. You have to show up every day. Be consistent with your posting, curating, and commenting. Also, take the long term view"

If you haven't watched it, please check it out. As a newbie starting Hive, I believe you can learn a lot from the interview.

Posting On Hive

---

Posting on Hive is one of the ways to earn. The more posts you make, the higher your chances of being rewarded.

We all agree that to be successful in the hive, you need to create quality content. Many have their definitions of what a "quality post" means. To some people, once a reasonable point is driven in a post, they rate the post okay while some curators look for posts with a lot of pictures and words.

Whichever way, posting on Hive still requires effort. Once you start climbing the reputation ladder and gaining followers, you realise that your posts are being viewed by a larger audience. Thanks to the @peakd feature, views are being shown.

With great power, comes great responsibility... This responsibility can bring about procrastination.

Take a look at the top authors on Hive (in terms of earnings), they produce content every day.

You might ask, what if I earn nothing posting every day?

The truth is, Hive is designed in a way that communities and contests make us visible. Certainly, if you post frequently in a community or participate in contests. You would be noticed.

Wanna be consistent on Hive? Post regularly!

Commenting

---

I have a law that states that - if you make at least 20 comments every day on Hive, you would be popular in one year!

Yes, posting makes the rewards. However, commenting builds associations.

Wanna be consistent on Hive? Keep commenting!

---

Curating

---

In the same way, we have authors' rewards, we have for curators. If you invest a lot of money in the Hive ecosystem, you have to be consistent in curating. There is should be no room for procrastination.

If you plan to upvote 8 posts every 24hours, you have to consistently upvote them. Although, auto votes save the curation stress, however, manual curation helps you get involved more with the happenings on-chain.

---

In Conclusion...

---

Consistency on Hive is very important to achieving our goals. An author's goal is different from a curator's goal. But with consistency at work, we can achieve our goals over time.

Does consistency equal success? Maybe. I believe with the right amount of time and effort, a consistent worker would succeed.
