RE: Hive Tips For Newbies! .:. Hive Humpday Hangout Ep.11 (Wednesday, January 10, 5 PM UTC)

Been off two days in row due to inclement & forecasted snow storms here. If it is three days in a row count me in. If not I'll make it one of these days. So let it keep snowing 😊

Most likely that won't happen so I'll drop a little bit here. Very interesting topic and like you said above there aren't rules but there are many things to consider. Being one month shy of a year here I would love to hear what everyone has to say. I'll be listening when you post the show in a day or two!

Maybe 🤔 I'm doing somethings right while maybe I'm off track on others. To the most part I just write, engage, and keep growing. Have to write thinking positively and of course trying to keep it fun. Often one bad upvoted article means a good one is right around the corner. This is my thought process to not get discouraged. Also I think one has to challenge themself by going out of their comfort zone sometimes. I think this can help getting your face out there. Also important to follow and engage with things or a writing style that interests you. A few thoughts from me I got more but if I go on I'm writing an article, haha

Take care and I look forward to listening to it soon 😊

Thank you very much for this great comment! You shared some nice tips about content creation and engagement on HIVE!

Often one bad upvoted article means a good one is right around the corner.

I can recognize myself in that sentence... While I know that certain type of content is "more valued" by curators, that doesn't mean that it is more valuable to my readers... Most of my posts where I share photos and stories from my travels are well-upvoted, and on the other side, the posts where I share tips for growing on HIVE aren't upvoted well...

"Unfortunately", I like to share the second type of content that isn't appreciated by curators, but on the other side, I know that many do appreciate them which is fulfilling in a completely different way... Sometimes it's not all about the money... :)

Right on we should write for ourselves but also to our audience and it shouldn't be about chasing the money. For instance, I write about my son's acculades in basketball because I'm treating it as a journal, they don't usually do well but I'm still ok with it. Also I have done promise articles, they don't all do that well but I like to give/show them appreciation. I feel like that's an awesome welcomed gift.
