While I'm mainly into blogging and curating on mainly Hive and Leo, I have diversified over the last almost four years and I now have several micro-passive income streams adding to the coffers, here's an overview of the various initiatives I've invested in:
To my mind there are FOUR main ways I earn a completely passive, or passive-ish income on Hive, besides the most obvious ways - blogging and curating on Hive and @leofinance:
- Passive returns for holding 'alt hive tokens'
- Passive returns from delegating Hive
- Blogging and curating through more tribes!
- Gaming income
NB this isn't supposed to be a compreshensive list of ways you can earn on Hive, it's just my attempt to review the options I've chosen, the weights I've put into them and the approximate amount they return every month.
Passive returns from buying and holding 'alt Hive' tokens
- 1050 LBI tokens - Leo Basic Income - a 20% increase in token value since inception around 20 weeks ago (how time flies!)
- 47 SPI tokens - yielding 1 Hive a month and a nice value increase in the SPI token value since I invested well over a year ago now.
- 17 BRO - yielding 0.5 Hive a month and micro-returns in other tokens
- 145 Utopis - yielding 30 Hive a month
- 1000 DHedge - yielding 3 Hive a month and extremely micro-returns in other tokens.
Passive returns from delegating Hive
- 10 000 HP delegation to @leovoter - Yielding 100 LEO a month at 16% APY, one of the best returns on Hive I think!
- 200 HP delegation to @curangel - yielding 2 Hive a month
- 200 HP delegation to @hodlcommunity - yielding 1 Hive a month, but I like to support smaller projects
Tribal curation and @tipu
- Splintertalk (SPT) writing and curating - I've got almost 500K SPT which yields me somewhere around 4 Hive a month in curation and the same in author rewards for posting my weekly challenges
- ProofofBrain (POB) writing and curating - it's early days, but I think around 20 Hive a month is a good guestimate. Just for adding 'proofofbrain' to the tags!
- PORN curating - with my nearly 90K Porn megawhale stake I'm raking in about 4 Hive a month.
- curating through @tipu - just by writing @tipu curate after various posts I'm earning about 5 Hive a month, NiCE!
Gaming income
- Playing Splinterlands - I earn somewhere between $10 to $15 a season, times 2, let's average it out and call it $25 a month.
- Splinterlands rentals - not too much, somewhere around 10 Hive a month for several cards I've got rented out.
- @Exodegame card sales - I've got three syndicate contracts so I've got a steady stream of income coming in from selling a few off... I've got more than 20 of these for example, current valuation around $2.50
Not that I'm selling too many, I'm holding 90%! Hard to say what my income is here, about $5 a month is a reasonable estimate!
Total Hive Alt Income = around $130 a month
That's with assuming Hive is valued at around $0.50, so all in all not too shabby for not actually doing very much at all.
I'll take that!

This.., is still a thing? It was never great during the heydays.., wait.. was there a heyday?
Heydays?
This is like those posters that people used to stare at to see something “pop” out ... if we stare at your comment your age will “pop” out.
Lol 😂
The Heyday was early to mid 2019 when the Tribes were new and shiny. It didn't last long.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t heyday a older word that’s not commonly used?

I don't really look TBH. It just amuses me buying Porn and Powering it up.
@flossmeoff is my alt.

Quite nice income monthly. Not life changing but very diversified.
We are working on something better for @hodlcommunity. I will definitely keep you updated ;)
No not life changing, but I'm surprised it's so much given that these are just my 'odds and ends' on Hive!
I'll look forward to the hodl updates!

Here it is ! Trying to help with the curation on leofinance that can defintely be improved :D

I'm sure there's more I could be doing, but my income is not too bad. Better than I get on bank accounts by far. I've set my kids up with Hive accounts and a delegation. They are following a trail I run to get some income that they can use as they want. I've told them to leave it for now and let it build up.
!PIZZA
You've set your kids up - there's a post or two in that!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I guess so. Neither of them is interested in posting for now though.
$PIZZA@revisesociology! I sent you a slice of on behalf of @steevc.

Love leo.voter. It's the easiest way to earn a hundred a month without lifting a finger. Add in a little $cub built up over the past month and things are not too bad around here.
It just takes time to find the best ways of earning.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You know I hadn't even thought about Cub, but then again it's hardly a side earner for me and not really Hive!
Leo Voter is good! We need a page with all these options!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
but what you do that makes you earn through leo.voter?

Nice list! Hmm, I didn't buy any of those syndicate contracts on Exode. In hindsight, looks like they are a good deal and getting better.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If the game kicks off they could be gold dust - lifetime drops for a one off fee, that's my kind of purchase!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
nice to get inspired, i may apply some of your tips !LUV
what is a syndicate contract on exode? !LUV
It gives you lifetimes drops of various cards - mainly officers and crew, but also a ship, weapons, drugs. There might be some available on the market.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
which market? hive or exode?
found them. quite expensive.
How much are they, they were $99 originally I think.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
399 the cheapest.
Yowzer!
Well, they do go on giving!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That makes a very nice passive income, > $2 a day.
Are you playing exode or just selling the cards obtained by contract drops?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
There's not a lot to play where Exode is concerned atm, it's still underdevelopment, you can only play the Evac stage, which is great, but then colonisation isn't ready yet.
I don't sell off too many cards, as you never know how much they'll be worth going forwards!
I like it this post bro...
Cheers!

Hodling of HP and HBD does also have intereset now.
Oh yes true, there are so many ways I just can't list them all!
Good list. @leovoter just has another delegator now. 👌
After the Steem / Hive fork I didn't bother to research how tipu works on Hive (I know people here object to bidding bots).
So basically you say that if I write
@tipu curate
here it might lead to tipu taking some kind of action on this post ? Or do I need to write that in a separate comment ?
I think it's !tipu curate
I am not a curator for them, but let's see if that invokes the bot.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
speaking of bots I see the biggest voter of this post is buildawhale - so are bid bots still around on Hive ?
I think many turned into manual curators. Not sure about buildawhale. Maybe it still frontruns voting for known authors. But the actual "bid boting" business is probably extinct. Now they probably just offer ROI to delegators. Enough front ends have their own promotion services anyway.
In HF25 (coming in June, probably) there will be a change at the curation window level. Every curator within the first two hours will be on equal footing. That should give automated voting less advantage over humans.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You need to get @cardboard I think it is to nominate you as a tipu curator and add you to the tipu thingy. I think you need to go via Discord.
It's all explained there and a link to the Discord
https://tipu.online/hive_curators
It's gamified curation.

Thanks. Looks pretty daunting though 😕
I get something on your post, now I think to add another source of earning more on gaming.

buenas, hola soy nueva, no tengo mucho tiempo en la comunidad de Hive y como hago para Jugar a Splinterlands?
hola como hago para Jugar a Splinterlands
Interesting stuff!
Funny how doing little bits and bobs here and there can add up.
It could potentially be quite a lump sum in the future.
I am focusing on babysteps towards a passive income so you've given me new avenues to check out! Thanks!
