There is a strategy for earning more on the hive, but it's not that easy, it takes time and dedication. What I can recommend is:
Dedication, focus and quality in everything you do;
Posting daily if possible or at least every other day, consistency is important;
Seek to follow a healing path that is active so as not to let the VP hit 100%;
Inform yourself about some projects that you support with votes, hive payments or tokens, by holding the project token. In this case, it's important to maintain the quality of the posts in the same way;
Interact, engage and try to participate in a project you like, helping the hive and its members to grow can be the most incredible way to attract the attention of a large profile that starts to like you and your posts, and consequently, the more exposure you get, the more chance you have of earning from your posts.
I think those are the points I've been following.
When I read your list, I get the feeling that success on hive is work and I believe that your are totally right about that. On hive, you won't get rich without doing anything...
Thank you very much! Hard work is what gets us results! Cheers!
