Your Activity Matters!
Imagine that you just started a Hive account today. Before you even started blogging or posting anything anywhere here, your reputation score starts out at 25.
You have zero followers. What do you do?
I started on here, before Hive existed, on a platform called Steem / Steemit 7 years ago via a video sharing platform called DTube.
He was giving me hefty upvotes at a time when Steem was worth US$5 each. Insane times!I was introduced to DTube by a fellow YouTuber named @oldguyphotos and he was my first follower on here too.
But I started here with nothing.
Before the hardfork from Steem into Hive, I had 750 followers. I now have 1011 followers here, so I see it as having gained 261 followers in real terms.
After the hardfork, Justin Sun required that I needed a TRX wallet connected to my Steem wallet just to post content. Yeah, um, nooooo! Sigh.
I cannot remember how much Hive I was gifted to start with 5 years ago, but I have reached over nearly 12,000 HP in that time.
In fact, I am delegating most of it to where I am gaining the most Hive every day, but I digress.
The more I engage with the community, the more likely I am going to get my comments upvoted. This goes for blog posts and uploaded videos to 3Speak.
On the flipside, I have other accounts here on Hive that if I were post a blog, photo or video to they wouldn’t get the same amount of traction.
Why is that?
It’s the reputation and name recognition that come with being not only active but engaging on this platform.
It works with every platform.
If you are just starting out, don’t give up hope.
My little secret tip is to create your own hashtag. Mine is “#pyffac” and it will show up in a Google search. The more I post using that hashtag, the easier it is for Google to find it.
My activity actitivy matters!
Therefore, your activity matters too!
Stay here and keep posting!

That hat is so AI. Where can I get one from your merch store?
I see what you mean now. The cap was cut off as it was out of frame when I took the selfie. The girls and the Wrangler body are AI.
It is hard to articulate things through words on the Internet :D
I wasn’t looking at the lower picture and thought you meant the first one.
The hat is real. My head however is questionable.
I'm thinking we can do West / East side hats where we chop off a bit of the port or aft side of the hat's brim and start an entirely new fashion category. "This is my morning hat."
The brand name of the hat is “brockman”. It’s a decent quality one.
It's amazing how many people get the Hive but and instantly think they're going to be earning 100s for every post! !SLOTH and steady is the only way to really buzz on Hive. Engagement is the real metric for success here, it's a social platform after all, not an investment token.
Yes. And the thrill of giving someone some Ecency points or even a hefty upvote is incredible.
It’s a shame about those who are only here to plunder the “ninja pool”.
Engagement is key. Too many people do not go out and engage,they only engage on their own posts. Some people were here preHive etc so in their minds don't need to engage.
All Hivians should be out engaging on other posts, and if posting in a community, should be supporting and engaging with other communities members. That is my take on it anyway.
Thank you for engaging in my post. :)
!LOL
I agree. I need to check Silverbloggers more on Discord and do more for their monthly competition.

@tengolotodo, I sent you anIt's true newcomers must not give upan be hard initially find new followers or being voted, I started on steemit too and yay I remember dtube. It's still exist? I'm jus curious. I don't upload many videos and I'm not sure if I used dtube but I think yes.
DTube collapsed due to lack of maintenance. 3Speak is a lot better.
You have come very far in your hive journey and still wagging strong.
Posting consistently and engaging with others matters a lot here and on other social media platforms.
Thank you very much for the hashtag tip; I'm going to start adding my hashtag henceforth.
I wish you rhe best of luck.
