Things To Consider As A Newbie

Voting yourself means you read the post and cast your vote.

I think this is better written as "Voting by yourself".... so it does not sound like they voting on their post.

This is great advice I must, some advice which I never had during my beginning here.

I don't subscribe to powering down your earning quickly as a newbie. I make sure to advise that to people I have brought in here so far. And I tell them, how do they think I raise the little amount of HP I got? That was because I was not 100% in for the cash at first but for the growth, and the money came along.

I don't shy away from delegating hp to friends of mine who have joined hive even if they didn't join through me but I always make sure to tell them I will undelegated it the moment they get substantial hive power, this is to tell them that their first payout should always be powered up cause I will need the hp I've delegated back to earn curation or also delegate to people who need it.

I always advice against cashing out your first earning even tough some of my friends never listen😂😂

Replying to comments keeps the door open and staking hive power is very important in building your audience because every business needs to get stabilized before you start withdrawing.

Thank you so much.
This is really helpful because it has helped me to see some aspect where am doing well and where I said adjust.

Thank you my friend for sharing this brother

Que buena publicación, la manera que explicaste es muy clara, tienes razón en muchas cosas, leeré las guías que dejaste al final.. son muy útiles, saludos.

Great education here. I have been on Chain for three months now, and this guide still sounds useful to me. I am still trying to build my stake before I go on with delegation. I have also not joined any curation trial by now; all I am currently doing revolves around learning more about the platform. Thank you for sharing @erikah, I will reblog this for my 15 followers.

I agree with the advice especially the advice on votes to other content. I think as our HP goes up, we take more control of those votes, because we want to give value to the content we like. Well, and when it becomes difficult to assume the burden of votes, you can go to some trail.

Most newbies are too quick to cashing immediately they claim their first few earnings forgetting that the best way to gain ground and influence here is to exercise patience, stack up a couple of coins and power up. They can even earn from their curation rewards.

Maybe because their referrals told them hive is a place where you post and make money.

The truth is that most of them are impatient to take time and read and learn how hive works. It is pertinent to do that.

Also I think their referrals should inform them that they will have to take time to gather some power first before they could consider withdrawing their earnings.

I do see some say they have problems to solve that's why they do so. Well, truth is, everyone of us has a problem to solve but we just have to sacrifice.

In the end, every action/decision is a matter of choice.

Hi @erikah,👋

How timely this post, I didn't know I could vote for 30 witnesses!

I have a few questions:

If I haven't voted yet, can it affect my reputation in any way?

When voting, how can I make sure I choose the right ones?

And the projects like hivebuzz and others? is it also necessary to vote or support?

These are messages that I receive every time I publish and I don't know if it is important to take it into account.

Won't doing so lower my hp?

This a post for all and not only newbies. This post explains most of the things I should know and what I will do to make my stay on hive a success.

As you probably know, you can vote for 30 witnesses on Hive. You can vote and you should as well, as witnesses are the ones running the nods and ensuring the correct behavior of the blockchain. The number of votes you have doesn't depend on the size of your stake. Your vote value does, but even if you have very little, you should not worry about that. In time, if you're staking your earnings, your vote value grows.

For this, I don't know how it is done. For witnesses, is there a way we could get access to their efforts before we can vote for them? If so, which site can we do that on?

Thanks overall for making his post.

Thanks @erikah for this. You just reaffirmed the things I had to learn on the way and helped me learn some more.
You are very explicit in explaining and quite good at it. Thanks for taking the time to do this. #hugs

Thanks for this master piece. Newbies have lot to learn in order to succeed here on hive. And these pieces of advise really help newbies make better progress. And I add that most newbies don't have time to building relationship via reading, commenting and up voting these are things that help to introduce you to the members of the platform not replying is annoying and in simple language you tell the one who comments on your work not to come again . Powering down it's a good option myself I'm a victim of powering down because I needed to pay my final year tuition in the university I hope I build back.
#Selfimprovement

This information is very important and valuable for newbies and for those of us who did not have the opportunity to watch classes from scratch and learned on our own, making mistakes due to lack of knowledge, but the idea is to improve. I have always said it, Hive is a big ocean where we start being so small, less than a little fish and there is a lot to learn.

I remember when I subscribe into a lot of voting trails😂 I didn't know what was draining my voting power until I realized

Thanks for the post, some valuable information here, most of TeamPH are new to the Hive Eco System, this will assist us very much! I would very much appreciate your feedback on our future posts. Kind regards

Very informative guide! The formatting is great and the way you describe each subject is straight to the point. Thanks for creating and sharing!

This is a helpful one for newbies like me too.

Am still struggling to getting to know about give & how it really worked.

Time too may have some constraints on a flowing operation here. Most often than not, I see myself struggling to reply or to comment on posts. They can be much ehh😁😁

Thank you @erikah for sharing...I've learnt a great lot.

#shalom✌🤝

Hive is a huge platform and a lot of people are joining every day. A lot of them don't know what to do and how to do it, and articles like this help people learn the platform. It's a bit difficult to accumulate stakes at first, but it will get better with time. We just need to be patient and not use Hive as a earn and spend platform. Hive is a platform where the more we accumulate, the more we earn.

It's weird that someone who isn't new to Hive can give such a fool advice - to not respond to comments to save RC for publishing next post. Because... first things first. There is a first post, comments to it, reply to comments. And then next post. Besides, you shouldn't publish every day, or twice a day, so the second post can wait for RC to recharge.

Regarding reward.... this is my pain when I see the situation you describe. Platform welcomes you and helps you. Your reward is their votes. Curators have the right to expect that the people they have supported for a long time will eventually become curators themselves, and will support others. That is, they will return value to the platform. "Pay it forward". This is how it works in everyday life. So immediate cashing out looks a little ungrateful.

This information is very essential for me too. To even most old members have some little to learn from. I really like the advice on "Not replying to comments on post," "Cashing out our first post payout," and delegating too early which makes us less influence on others post like voting and commenting. We would keep track on these rules in order to engage the community.

This is very informative and important as well. I think I’ve been a victim of one or two. It’s great that you’re taking time to point out all these issues.

Moving forward, I think there is still so much to learn about hive.

Thank you for sharing. And for choosing a simple vocabulary. Thank you 🙏🏿

Thank you for sharing this. We are all reminded by this helpful guide. God bless. ☺️

This will help me kickstart my journey on here as a newbie. It is very informative and has a lot of wisdom in there.

It is an educational and easy to understand publication, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

To be honest, with all the time I spent on Hive, I had barely any knowledge about any of these things. Thanks a lot for the info.

I also have to confess, I am also guilty for cashing out my first earnings immediately 😅

Hi,
I really enjoyed reading your post.

Esta bueno mencionar estas cosas, tanto para novatos como para gente que ya esta desde hace un tiempo en Hive porque es fácil olvidarnos de cosas. Me parece super útil que hagas esa comparativa con la realidad ¿Por qué saludaríamos a alguien o le hablaríamos si no hay respuesta? las bases de hive son eso, realizar sociales con las personas y si comienzas y no te das a conocer de una buena forma vas a quedar en el camino.

Wow I love this.
It's well explained
Will definitely share on my blog for others to see.

You can earn without delegating, so it is recommended to build some stake first, then delegate, when you already have enough for your daily activity.

This goes with the saying that you can not give what tou don't have so as a newbie, I am trying my best to build my reputation as well as to power up all my earnings so I can support others as well. Thank you for the information.

Thank you very much for being here for someone like me. I do appreciate all you're doing here. Although you said something about proxy and I don't understand it.

Setting Proxy For Voting Witnesses
As you probably know, you can vote for 30 witnesses on Hive. You can vote and you should as well, as witnesses are the ones running the nods and ensure the correct behavior of the blockchain. The number of votes you have doesn't depend on the size of your stake. Your vote value does, but even if you have very little, you should not worry about that. In time, if you're staking your earnings, your vote value grows.

Please can you explain the above statement well for me. Thank you.
