I took part in the April Hive Power Up Day where I powered up 1000HP. I received a comment from @hivebuzz congratulating me for being a dolphin. I was ecstatic as it was an important milestone for me. I would not even have known that I had achieved dolphin status if I did not receive a comment from @hivebuzz.
When I first joined Steemit way back in August 2016, I was a mere minnow. One of my aspirations back then was to be a dolphin. After the initial 3 years of blogging, it seems an impossible goal. I am glad that I did not give up and my hard work and preservance have finally paid off. I will continue to work hard to achieve Orca status.
One of the best things that have happened on the Hive platform is the creation of communities. I have received a lot of love and support from the various communities that I had joined. The development of a vibrant and thriving community will bring about a larger reward pool which would ultimately all members.
Here I like to share a few tips on how we can all contribute to these communities.
1. Post Unique and Interesting Articles
Write your articles with your target readers in mind. Once you know your target readers then you would know which community to post these articles. Put in the time and effort to write unique and interesting articles which offer value to your readers. A community with numerous unique and interesting articles will attract more readers and curators.
2. Curation
Besides writing articles, one should also vote for or curate quality posts. with a higher Hive Power, I now have more means to support quality posts. Don't forget that you can also earn curation rewards for curating. Since the end of March 2022, I had stop voting for my own articles. Previously, the first thing I do after posting an article was to vote for myself. I had stopped that practice so that I can support others who had produced quality work.
3. Engagement
A community thrives on engagement and interaction. One of the ways to engage with others is to take part in contests and challenges organized by the community. Do check out these challenges such as #wednesdaywalk, #makemesmile, #weekend-engagement, #marketfriday, #zapfic50friday and many others.
I am also very happy when someone takes the time and effort to comment on my post. I feel that my time and effort that I had put into writing the article have been appreciated by others. As such, I always take the time and effort to comment on other people's posts. While the value of my vote maybe not be high, my comments show that I appreciate their efforts.
4. Delegation
Delegating your Hive Power to the community will empower the leaders of the community to do more to develop the community. These leaders have put in a lot to develop the community and we can support them by delegating Hive Power to the community.
5. Investing In Hive
If you had read my post on cryptocurrency, you would know that investing in cryptocurrency is part of my retirement portfolio. I do not only depend on curation and author rewards to grow my Hive Power but I will also invest in Hive. With this, I can fast-tracked my journey to become an orca and also eventually be able to earn a passive income on Hive.
Since the end of March 2022, I had been posting daily. With determination, I hope to be able to sustain my momentum to post daily. I like to thank all those who had supported my journey on Hive so far. Now that I am a dolphin I hope that I will be in a better position to support others as well.

ASEAN Hive Community
The ASEAN Community is founded by the hardworking @justinparke who had put in a lot of work and effort to develop this community. This community has provided a platform for Hivers from South-East Asian countries to post their articles. Initiatives such as Asean Hive Top 3, Asean Hiver of The Week and No Post Left Behind help to discover and nurture Hivers who produce quality content.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hive Blog Posting Month
The Hive Blog Posting Month is a challenge where you post an article every day for the month of April. I have started posting daily since the middle of March and so I was very happy when I came across this challenge and I hope that it will help me to maintain my momentum.
A big thank you to the fabulous @traciyork for organizing the #hiveblopomo initiative. This is my entry for 25 April 2022.

I joined sometime around august 2020 and I am so pleased I did!
Hive is #1
Now that I am retired, I spend a lot of my time blogging here. It is fun and also a good way of earning some income.
It is simple but to be active in engagement sometime many new users are too lazy. That is a great advise
Actually it does not take that much time to just write a comment. Thank you very much for dropping by.
That's a very informative post, thanku for sharing. I guess that makes me, as a newbie, a red fish and I have a very long road to go. I don't have even have enough hive power to delegate yet haha
Hi @watusiwoman, we all need to start someone . It is more important to know where you want to go and see how you can arrive there faster. Be consistent and continue to produce quality content and you will be on your way to be a dolphin.
Thanku for your encouragement

I am honored to be mentioned here, and dolphinizing is a big achievement. I don't think I will ever "Orca," but I am more than halfway there. Thanks for all your efforts within ASEAN Hive and for being an all-around awesome community member.
You are most welcome @justinparke . You deserve the honor for what you have done for the community. Surely you will be an Orca someday, just continue doing your good work. !PIZZA
I am always inspired reading post like this and motivated me to create a hivegoals myself. I know a whale is too ambitious haha but why not? In the meantime I will keep on posting interesting and unique contents. COngrats.
It is good to have ambitious goals. If you really work hard you can be a whale someday, it's all up to you.
Congratulations on becoming a dolphin @positivesteem 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you very much @arcange
