Also, be sure to let your students know that a comment counts like a post. A lot of them could ultimately end up making the bulk of their money from commenting, reacting to the ideas of others rather than thinking of their own to share.
I have noticed a lot of people lack the confidence to think they can share something other people find valuable, but they don't think they need to try as hard for comments.
Indeed! In the future I will be writing an entire article dedicated to comments on Hive posts!
Yes, people often lack courage to post, which is why I made and linked my make-a-sandwich post, to demonstrate!
