Summary Of The Weekend Engagement

The 36th Hive-Naija weekend engagement kicked off on Friday (2nd Sept, 2022) and ended on Sunday(4th Sept 2022) at 11:59 pm (GMT+1). It was an interesting chat as we gathered together to gist, learn and show love to each other.

The topic was "Hive Struggles"

We had over 600+ comments which is great and encouraging.

Thanks to everyone that participated and shared their opinions on the topic.

@mrenglish has had alot of struggles, he says

Men! The struggle boku ooo. First, I had the problem of knowing where to go. It wasn't long though before I started knowing the right communities to get support.
Tags were a problem too. Not knowing which tags to use could make you earn less or could hide tour post from the right curators of your content.
There was also this one of formatting my articles. What I could do was just to write whatever it was I wanted to write and post them like that sometimes in block. But all that is in the past now.

He says he had to sacrifice his way to get better

I had to pay the price. I made sacrifices by ensuring that I post relevant and original articles in communities like #proofofbrain #neoxiancity #theinkwell #writingclub and so on. In these communities, you are sure to find supposed and maintain your Hive Power. The most here is to engage in as much as possible contest. Who know, you may be in for some winning and grow your presence here.

@omosefe has had her own fair share of pains

The truth is nothing discourages me more than when I spend hours on an article, and upload it here only to get little or no engagement. It breaks my heart really. By engagement, I mean comments, comments, and upvotes. I know some people say it's not always about the upvotes, but hey, sometimes people need a little pat on the shoulder just so they know that they're doing something right.
The reason I keep coming back is that naturally, I'm a stubborn coconut-headed girl who doesn't stop until she gets results. So, I'll keep putting in the work.
