This is so true and what I think many people on Hive will experience over the coming years.
Many families since the Covid pandemic started have had to supplement their main income with various side hustles. In some cases it may be more than one type of hustle depending on how much is required to maintain their living standards. Working from home has given the possibilities for many to try various new ingenious ways to earn without a snooping boss always checking up.
I am sure if many knew about Hive and what is possible they would give it a try, but for all the wrong reasons. The idea of Hive being able to offer financial reward is true but one first has to learn the Hive eco system. Earning from day one without offering time and support to others in return will only end in failure and disappointment.
We have all seen many accounts come and go after giving up on what could have been Hive dreams of financial stability. Those dreams are available to the users who can see the long term possibilities as like any project to succeed time and effort is required.
Personally I think anyone is destined for failure if your expectations are that high of earning from day one. I have noticed many new users arriving in the various tribes of late and it is interesting to see how they conduct themselves. I think some have the "right stuff" and the right attitude to go far whilst the usual suspects will go quiet leaving with their tails between their legs.
The truth is any account can succeed on Hive if you allow the account to grow before plundering it. This has to be seen in the same way as a business as the "side hustle" could turn the tables and become your main source of income.
Consistency is the key and over time Hive will out do most professions in earning potential.
When Hive as at $3.41 not that long ago I would have earned more on here than any side hustle over the last 4 years. The only difference is this is far bigger than many understand as over the next 4 years this should earn more than most do earning their full time salaries. Hive doesn't need to hit $10 for that to happen and a $3 or $5 Hive will comfortably surpass many I know who work full time jobs. Hive at $2 would even surpass so many I know which is crazy considering your account has compounded growth and growth is something that happens anyway. I do believe anyone who gives their best on here will out perform most professional people earning a salary which is kind of crazy.
It is strange to think so many are racking their brains trying to find another source of income yet here we all are on Hive and they have no clue about it's existence. I found Hive on my own so it is out there for those that are looking hard enough. Those that I have tried to onboard have shunned my ideas so it is their loss as one day they will be kicking themselves. Who knows they may end up on Hive anyway through one of the many apps that will be developed and launched over the coming years. This is how I see many being onboarded without even knowing it that they are part of the Hive eco system. Ironic I know but expect it will happen as Hive is developed more and more.

In all fairness, you're coming up with 2 posts per day, and I don't think people have neither the motivation, nor the consistency to diligently coming up with new topics to talk about like you do every day. It's hard!
You did good because you really applied yourself to it, I hope people can see that it's possible, but that it also requires work, like any other jobs.
It's a question that is quite open, because some people see Hive as a job, others as a game, others as a communication platform, and none of the answers is wrong because it is all of these things.
I agree fully with what you are saying as there is no right or wrong. I am not thinking about today, but more about 2025 or 2030 on what the value we are creating by staying active. I believe if it does half as well as it might do everyone could do this full time without a care in the world financially. It is not easy to keep up this pace I must admit and trying to stay ahead with new ideas is the hardest part. I think whatever approach anyone has it is good as long as they are growing steadily.

I think we've chatted about it once, but I might have forgotten. Do you have a schedule or do you just "go with the flow"?
I use to have a schedule, not so much anymore
Go with the flow as you cannot plan ahead really. I know I must do 3 sports posts per week and then I do Leo and whatever else that interests me. Need to find something else though as Leo can be hard work.

Rather than a side hustle, this is my social media where I interact with others. Initially, I treated the platform as a side hustle to earn rewards. Lately, it is where I consume my information on crypto and defi. This is where I get friendly advice and macro predictions. From that perspective, rewards are there to grab but information is what you are getting. Unfiltered, ad-less and raw.

$2 hive was only because of the splinterlands presale.
It’s a side hustle. In fact it’s so lucrative that people spend their entire days making and using fake accounts to upvote their shitposts 10 cents.
The platform truly is a blessing. Don't also forget about the important lessons we learn along the way with our active participation on the chain of
HIVE is a great side hustle that doesn't require you to put too much time into it even! Through author and curation reward you can really make some good money, even without having a huge account. It is also just so much fun writing and curating posts, engaging with the community and meeting new people.

Just keep pressing forward. Things have been slow for awhile and it is difficult to make time, but if you try to be consistent, things will turn your way. People don't want to invest in someone who will only be here a short time. They want to see that you will stick with it. I'm fairly new, but recently got 70 likes on a D.Buzz of all things. I guess I struck a cord. Thanks for providing some motivation to continue.
