Hello , warmest greetings to hivers and community 🥰💕.

How good to be here with you guys and hope you are enjoying wellness. I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday in this new week of February month. Am wondering if this fast pace era is already also affecting and controlling the time and days. Haha 😆. Or what do you think is happening guys?

And back to the prompt question for this week from #indiaunited contest: “My Favorite Way To Earn Online “

Honestly speaking, earning online was one thing I never believed is possible and real because the first time I tried investing money to make extra cool cash 💰 online became a bad experience that I never let go in a hurry. And because I was introduced to this platform by someone who I know will never scam me, it became so baffling to why should it be when I have invested that the plat form had problem and closed down unannounced.

So I was always not paying further attention anymore when Online Earning is mentioned since I saw it as a way scammers uses to collect huge sums of money from innocent people. And again, as we keep hearing of how the smart guys keeps taking money from people through one way or the other. Truly it was never one avenue I felt one can be lucky with.

But then, my daughter

@chelkoby is this kind of girl who loves to explore online because she loves Tech and became so Tech Savvy. So most times she goes online to explore places. First, she stumbling onto some online games she feels are earning games. When she mentioned them to me I just told her not to waste her time. But she proved me wrong 😑. First, it was Prospectors, then came Axie games that she plays and earns weekly . She went on to discover Defi-Land. A kind of farming games you purchase farming tools 🧰 in the game and use them to farm in the land. And she keeps cashing out weekly through Binance because she has already checked Avenues for cashing out her earnings immediately she started earning. It was so surprising that these kinds of online earnings was real and existing

So on this process of her exploration, in the year 2022,

@chelkoby discovered Hive. She came across Hive , registered and onboarded. When she came to hive and because she is a gamer, she stated playing Splinterland games and started even earning big money 💰then . I was surprised with this, and that was when I paid more and serious attention. I was forced to ask my daughter

@chelkoby to please explore more on Hive and see if there are other communities I can join if I register since am not a gamer.

It was so surprising that after I registered, onboarded here on hive, subscribe to some communities and followed some hivers who has been on here for a while, I was seeing earnings on their upvoted contents. This really boosted my interest to believe that Hive is a real place to start earning if I can be able to present a good and original content like I have read on the rules, which is all I need since no charges are applicable to registration.

I have never seen a place to earn without investing your own money 💰. And here on Hive no one is asking you to pay any money. Oh waoh! It was so thrilling that I was so eager to start this beautiful journey of my content creating on hive.

@chelkoby was also encouraging me by exploring communities for me to know the best place I can fit into since she already knows the things I like to do.

And gradually, I started creating contents from only writing ✍️ initially, sharing my day to day experiences to joining the gastronomic, culinary and fashion showcase communities because of my interest in food and fashion styling . Gradually too, my earnings here started coming little by little .

Although it was not easy at the starting point because sometimes then some of my contents were not regularly upvoted, which seemed discouraging but I told myself that “patience is a virtue”. And that since many that are here have been here for years, I will do all I could to stay here because nothing in life comes easy. All we need is to put in hard work and leave the rest to the creator. And while being here, I made sure to be active, follow others, comment, reblog and check for original contents that is the way to be upvoted.

I can tell you that after one (1) year I joined Hive, things changed for me in a way I never believed. I saw hive being a second home 🏠 for me. My virtual home 🏡 where I come to any hour of the day. I made so many connections here, engage with friends and even feel like I have travelled 🧳 to places through being here because of my friends all over the world 🌍 here on hive. This virtual home Hive, became such a safe earning place for me. So I can truly say that Hive is my favorite and only way to earn online for years now.

And despite how low the Crypto market has become which has also affected Hive, this place is one place I love ❤️ to be through good times and bad times because that is why we remain a virtual family nothing can separate. The only steady place of online earnings.
