Joining hive was one of the best and sweetest decision I made a tear ago, and so far the experience has been nothing but good. A platform that I visit every blessed day, read people's write up and also drop my own. Hive is so educative, because you get to see people writing about a particular topic in different ways, you see and learn to understand other people's point of view. And some blogging apps and platform like ecency has really made the process fun and stress free. With the schedule feature, I can now write some post at my spare time , then schedule them to whenever I want it to be posted and it will , weather I am online or not. Hive has also given us the opportunity to make extra cash while doing what we love to do which is writing and you can transfer your assets at will. But to succeed in hive, there are few tips that I am going to share which might help the new hivers, although I am still learning and studying hive more to understand certain things, I feel my little experience on this platform so far , is worth sharing. To be successful in hive, you must learn to be very consistent, keep writing, keep posting, just take it like a daily routine and also participate in contest, aside from this making your present felt in the platform it will also give some rewards. Again, learn to use simple and straight forward English in writing if you are not ready to explain things when down voting comes. But in all, always know that you might be down voted one day and it's not always a very nice experience, but it's part of the game so don't allow that discourage you, just dust yourself , cross your T's dot your I's and move on. Another way of avoiding down voting is , avoid using AI for anything , even the least thing as using it to check grammers or correct some spellings, avoid it, if not you go explain taya. Use "grammarly" instead or just write your thing. Always read the rules of a particular content before you participate. But in all , hive is a nice place to be.
