Hello! it is actually not right to tag in a lot of people like this when you have no much connection with them. Yeah, I know you wanna show appreciation. It is good that you are grateful for the support but, most of the vote you got on your post is due to them being a curation trail account.

I guess you are probably wondering what curation trail is. This is when people follow the vote of a particular account. so if that account votes you, then the people following that account would also vote as well. So if there are a 100 people following the account, you would receive votes from a 100 people.

I am just trying to let you know about how things are since you are quite new on Hive. Congrats on the earning you made on that post, here is my personal advice to you as a newbie and it is what that has helped me to this point.

• Starting out on any platform is never easy but being consistent and persistent would take you in the long run.

• Continue more on engaging with other authors, most preferably, you should start with a community that you are most active in or niche communities that you love.

• Try to partake in Challenges and Contests in the blockchain. These kind of posts get curated very well. You can find challenges and contests easily by just searching the #contest and #challenges tag. when you search them, you would see challenge post entries of different authors.

• I still come back to Not giving up, because it would not still be easy but you can do it.

• Lastly, Hive is just about socializing. Try your best to socialize, make friends. I mean a lot of friends and it is very easy, by engaging with them. leaving them meaningful comments that you would contribute to their post and no just short comments like nice post or I love your article. To me, it is better not to comment at all if you have nothing to add to what is being said in the post.

• Try asking or dropping questions to posts you do not understand. The author of the post would be glad that you are interested in knowing more about the article and would definitely answer your questions with pleasure.

I hope you have taken notes all this that I have shared to you. Keep to it and it would help you in the long run. I wish you a successful journey on Hive. Bless you and Stay Safe!
