Hey everyone! I’m a 21-year-old college student from the Philippines who, until last week, had exactly ₱47 (~$0.80) left until my next allowance. Then I discovered Hive and Ecency. Seven days later, I’m averaging $1.5–$2.20 every single day, 100 % free, no investment, no paid promotions. Here’s exactly how it happened. My 7-Day Journey (Real Numbers)

All from my cracked-screen phone and dorm Wi-Fi. The Real Challenges I Faced
Day 1–2: Almost zero views. I felt invisible. Day 3: Realized commenting genuinely on other posts is the cheat code. People started visiting my blog. Day 4: Got my first $1+ payout and literally jumped on my bed. Biggest lesson: 5–10 quality comments daily = 5–10x more upvotes.
