Hive blockchain simply allow content creators to make themselves a living on a great platform, launch businesses and group up in powerful communities where they can make the best of chosen domains. But it is not just about content creation but so much more as this ecosystem is boosting with options that anyone can earn and enrich his or her investments. Either active or passive, the activities through which someone can earn around simply grow from day to day. And as I have been around here from 2017, let me show you what blogging principles I have depicted from my experiences in these years.
First of all you need to blog about what you know or what you like and are interested in. This will show the reader that you know what you are talking about and also provide useful insight based on the presented information. Just replicated something read out there on the internet will in most cases not bring value as usually the precious information is not out there in the open. So better write about the things that you are doing and living, about your experiences or simply saying your opinions and visions.
Through content creation you can earn as much, but there are so many other things that you can do around on the HIVE ecosystem. One important aspect that also supports the mechanics of blogging and content creation is curation. And the fairness of the curation system while you give something to the author, but also receive something as a curator brings motivation to do so. Manual curation is the greatest one that you can do because through that you filter the information and chose only what you are interested in and are able also to network better. Automatic curation is possible as well and you can either delegate some of your HIVE Power to others to do the work and receive a percentage back or join a curation trails as I do and simply put the trust in some people that they will curate properly. I am using this one and have joined 1 or 2 curation trails using Hive.vote.
Simply curating (upvoting some others content) is not enough and along with that is better that you engage the content and leave comments to the author, ask questions or present your own opinions to raise a debate on the presented subject. This ultimately brings more life and energy on this platforms and increase the usefulness of it all. Speak your mind and if you are interested in a presented topic simply jump on it and try to make the most of it.
Nonetheless there are also more passive ways to capture wealth from the HIVE blockchain and one that I like lately to use is the HBD savings which gives you a 10% return per year on your investment. The percentage is settled by the witness, but nevertheless there is a good chunk to be made out of it. And along with that you have the option to move directly HIVE to HBD savings at the pegged value ($1) and while you have 3 cooling days for withdrawing HBD in case its price raises, there are some good earning opportunities just from exchanging between these tokens tokens.
And HIVE blockchain is not the only thing happening around here so you better join communities which have second layer tokens that provides you those alongside HIVE itself. That's the power of layering and simply boosts up your earnings without you needing to do anything else than post your content. And the greatness of it all is that you can join the communities that share your interests and focus your content, rather than throwing it in a sea of readers and interested parties. Do that and you will know growth faster and better!
