Last week I did a survey about what 3 things newbies should do during their first week on Hive. 115 Hivers responded with their suggestions. I have grouped all the suggestions into similar categories. This post will talk about the top 12 suggestions for newbies to do in their first week on Hive, and I will also share some of the invaluable comments from the respondents.
The top 3 suggestions are as follows. Out of the 115 people that responded, 71 people mentioned the importance of engaging with people. 59 people suggested newbies should join communities. The third most suggested thing for newbies to do is to make a self introduction post. 50 people suggested this.
The rest of the top 12 suggestions include Read and Learn, Follow people, Power up, Ask, Tags, Create good content, Create your profile, Secure your keys and Learn formatting.
ENGAGEMENT
This is without a doubt the most important thing for longevity on Hive. Many newbies fail to recognise this, and just post without engaging. Some don't even bother responding to comments on their own post. Engagement is important, but meaningful and genuine engagement is what we really like. Try to avoid two word spammy comments like "Nice photo", "That's beautiful", "Looks yummy"
| Plenty of outbound engagement on other people's posts with more than two words | @galenkp |
|---|---|
| Find authors that are interesting to you and engage with them by commenting on their posts in a meaningful way | @nikv |
| Read members posts and if they trigger something in you, respond. Be sure you respond to every single comment on your posts. | @bigtom13 |
| Read lots. Comment insightfully or not at all. | @mattclarke |
| Engaging means voting and commenting on other peoples posts. This spreads your name around and will show people that you want to be part of the community and again not just reap the benefits and rewards. Meaningful comments go a long way, don't just comment to comment. | @Pusen |
| Dont get desperate and leave what are almost spam comments everywhere, when I see comment slike follow me I follow you or the like I generally just ignore tham as I am sure most do, and they may have a negative impact on your experience, be real in your comments and interactions | @Tattoodjay |
| Network like this is real life. Genuinely comment about people’s posts, ask people questions, and you will quickly grow while also making friends. People will naturally check out who you are and what you post, so don’t go asking everyone to do so. That just ruins the experience. | @Howweroll |
| socialize learn that this is not only a bank ... It is also a social network! | @oscurity |
COMMUNITIES
Communities are where people with common interest and hobbies post and engage. Choose communities that align with your interest, and not because all the posts get high payout out there. For example, don't post about your pet in the travel community.
You don't have to post in the community, you can just engage if you want. For example, if you like art, but can't draw or paint, you can still join the art communities and engage with the artists on Hive. As @enforcer48 says, Don’t force themselves into “content creators”
| Explore Hive Communities - Hive is more about power to the people than writing a blog post. The crypto is made from the connections you make. | @raymondspeaks |
|---|---|
| Find and join at least 5 communities | @asgarth |
| Participate in various challenges and initiatives that communities have and get involved with these groups before you start blogging regularly | Anon |
| Know the communities where you create content and read their rules. | @elizabeths14 |
SELF INTRODUCTION
Never underestimate the importance of a good self introduction post. The self introduction is about you, who you are, where you're from, your hobbies and interest, what type of content can people expect from you, what value you can bring to Hive. If you want to stay anonymous that's fine, but tell people something about yourself. @Hivewatchers suggested newbies to Verify identity.
Let us know how you found out about Hive, and if a friend referred you, mention them in your post. That helps to add credibility. We're not interested in your parent's name and occupation and how many uncles and aunties and cousins you have. The post is about you, not your family.
| Check the #introduceyourself catagory to see examples of a good Introductory post and a poor introductory post. Make it good because there are some orcas and porposes that are more than willing to upvote and help launch a fresh new face | @kerrislravenhill |
|---|---|
| Introduce themselves and disclose if they already share content elsewhere that they might share on Hive as well, to avoid plagiarism accusations and gain trust | @minismallholding |
| intro post for sure and don't make it short put some effort in | @scubahead |
| Create decent introduction post with photos to illustrate the best aspects of who you are. Use the #introduceyourself tag | @samstonehill |
| Make a good introduction. It is something that not everyone does (including myself) and it is necessary. Many newbies do their introduction in a mediocre way looking for votes and I think that should not be the idea. The idea would be to let others users know "This is me, I'm here and I really hope to be welcome". | @perceval |
| Respond to all comments on your intro post and "do" the recommendations | @fionasfavourites |
READ AND LEARN
Hive and the blockchain can be very daunting for newbies and there is a lot to learn. Spend time learning about the different aspects of Hive, even if it's fifteen minutes a day. @orestistrips three suggestions for newbies is "Read Read Read". There are many tutorials and guides, and the best place to start is @newbies-guide.
| Read (or if you prefer videos, watch) everything you can find on how the Hive ecosystem works. | @traciyork |
|---|---|
| Learn about Resource Credits and how it will affect your interaction in Hive | @ybanezkim26 |
| Learn about keys and permission and safety | @simplymike |
| Look into how things work on the platform. Understand some stuff like: curation, communities, power up, bandwith, deligation, witness, reward | @trangbaby |
| Understand the "basic etiquette rules" of the Hive blockchain, to avoid (as much as possible) "unpleasant" exchanges, downvotes, etc., which would quickly discourage them, if they don't know "how it works." | Anon |
| Learn about Hive rules and blog etiquette ideally through a mentor or fellow Hiver | @discoveringarni |
FOLLOW PEOPLE
The mistakes newbies make here are at two extremes. Some don't follow anyone at all because they're only interested to dump their post and hope for a big upvote. They're not interested in anything else. Others follow too many people including whales that never post. On Hive, you should follow people because you want to read their content, engage with them and grow your network. Following too many people can make your account look spammy.
| Follow like-minded people and not those with high reputation and big wallets | @erikah |
|---|---|
| Follow only those who have similar interests you yourself, don't use stake size as a factor in who you follow | @slobberchops |
| be selective about who you follow, do not fall into the trap of following because someone's followed you or your blog feed will eventually be filled with content of no interest to you | @lizelle |
| follow 10 other accounts (min) and leave them a comment on their latest publication | @french-tech |
POWER UP
There are many advantages of powering up on Hive, and people will be more willing to support you if they see you're here for the long term, and not just to make a quick buck. You can take part in #hivepud that happens on the first day of each month to power up. That's another great way for newbies to engage with other people.
| Set post rewards to 100% Hive power because of resource credits | @starstrings01 |
|---|---|
| Power up hive. A great way to get recognized is by showing you're interested in investing in the platform and not only reap the benefits and rewards. | @Pusen |
| Set their rewards on 100% power up - that should be the case for the first 100 weeks if you ask me. | @crazy-andy |
| set it to 100% Hive power as you'll need the juice to react, comment and keep posting | @scubahead |
ASK
If you can't find the information you need or are unsure about anything, just ask people. 99% of the people will be more than happy to help you out. The 1% who don't respond is when you send them a Hello message, and don't follow up with your question. Personally I always ignore those messages on Discord. If you have a question, just ask it, you don't need permission. It's better to not get a response, than to get it wrong and receive a downvote or be banned from a community.
| Ask questions. It takes some time to find out how certain things works | @Digi-me |
|---|---|
| If after reading you have many doubts, do not be shy and ask on the servers, it is better to ask than to do something that will make you make a mistake. Don't be afraid to ask to clarify your doubts. | Anon |
| Don't be afraid if you don't understand everything straight away, take your time on hive | @chris-uk |
TAGS
Most of the suggestions about tags is to use the #introduceyourself tag when you make your self introduction post. Other than that, tags are a good way for people to find your posts when your content doesn't fit into a community. Use them wisely.
| Post your own content using tags relevant to the content in your post so it is easily found | @c0ff33a |
|---|---|
| Look at what others are using for tags and how they format their posts | @Solominer |
CREATE GOOD/INTERESTING/QUALITY CONTENT
Not many people suggested this - maybe it's so obvious and expected.
If you look at many well supported posts on Hive, you will see they either have good upvotes because curation guilds value the quality, or there are many comments and interaction because people find the content interesting. @gems.and.cookies suggested "Never do a post less than 100 words and 3 photos." Whilst there is no hard and fast rule regarding word or image count for a post, you'll see that single image post or post with little or no words rarely get much support.
| Create content that is enjoyable and adds value to the platform | @Warpedpoetic |
|---|---|
| Write a solid introduction post and follow up with several good posts for people to view. | @galenkp |
| Create an interesting content | @damm-steemit |
| Produce good content | @Yanipetkov |
| Write in your own words | @coolguy123 |
CREATE YOUR PROFILE
Your blog header is the first thing people see when they check out your blog. Creating your profile will give a more professional image and helps to show people you care about your blog. Many spammers don't bother with it, don't put yourself in the same category.
| Make sure blog header and info is filled up and external blog or social media (if any) is linked to their Hive account | @discoveringarni |
|---|---|
| Create decent profile description, banner & avatar | @samstonehill |
KEYS
The five long string of keys is probably one of the most confusing things for newbies. They will become valuable in the long run when you build up your account. If you lose them, you will lose everything you have earned. No one can reset your account.
| Get a good understanding of what keys do and have them securely backed up and preferably handwritten down somewhere for safe keeping | @Castleberry |
|---|---|
| Back up your keys!! All of them. Write your master on a paper wallet RIGHT NOW. Save it as many ways as you're comfortable with—back up your keys!! | @dandays |
LEARN FORMATTING
A well formatted post makes it easier for people to read, and shows your effort and professionalism. Curators read many many posts each day, if yours is difficult to read, they may pass over it for curation.
| learn a bit of formatting/markdowns to prep for first post | Anoynmous |
|---|---|
| Learn all about formatting posts with markdown | @guiltyparties |
FINAL WORDS OF WISDOM
Finally, here is a selection of wise words from people who know what they're doing on Hive. You will learn a thing or two from reading this.
Don't post anything. Explore the place, spend your time finding interesting content creators to follow, communities you like, comment on content, vote, and try to get a feel for the place. A week exploring is enough time to help you get inspiration on what you may bring to this blockchain @justinparke
Temper expectations. Don't come in thinking that every post you make is going to be worth $20-60. Understand that it takes time to build a following. It should not be just about the rewards. If that is the case for you, then you probably won't be successful @Leaky20
Be curious. Look for content that interests you and keep communicating with the people who create or engage with it. Huge potential for gaining useful knowledge around here and that's a valuable capital even without the monetization @manoldonchev
Do not plagiarize, spam, or beg for votes. slavekitty69
Expect nothing until you have at least 200 followers. You'll get them from your insightful comments on others' posts.. @mattclarke
Don't run away if the reality doesn't match your expectations in the first instance. Everything needs a bit of time. @mipiano
Enjoy reading the content that other hiveans are sharing in your community, engage with them, share your stuff, get some rewards... and the most important, have fun! @jotakrevs
Don't think about how to earn a lot of HIVE or HBD - just enjoy! @damm-steemit
Have fun! Don't be a stranger. @dandays - The Luckiest Guy I Know
Most of all have fun and don't focus on the rewards or you will miss out on all the other awesome aspects of Hive @melbourneswest
Last and not the least, if you are a newbie, and made it to the end of this post, you are already off to a good start on Hive. Please follow @newbies-guide where there is a lot more information regarding different aspects of Hive. Hope to see you all around.
Thanks to everyone who took part in this survey and provided your invaluable input.
This entire post is invaluable. It’s another jewel that will go a long way in helping those that land here on this platform. This was a wonderful idea and you did such a good job getting those responses and I love the way you are sharing the results.
Even though I got so tied up and forgot to respond it was nice seeing the three things I was going to say!
Great effort from everyone ~
I had not had the opportunity to read this guide, but how interesting. As a newcomer there are always things that are omitted and reading the experience of other colleagues always strengthens. Thank you very much for this guide.
Thank yo so much
No worries @crosheille I know many of us have a real life as well, you're even so helpful with @newbies-guide already. Everyone has been incredibly helpful with this and I think the comments from everyone makes the messages to newbies so much more powerful, and hopefully they will take the advice on board.
Thanks so much for understanding :)
I too hope they will take this advice and put them all to good use!
The first thing I needed to start here! I appreciate this so much. Was having trouble signing here and I think I'm in already. I'm also a writer in another platform and I can't wait to share everything especially my crypto experiences.

These are really helpful to help the Newbies get along with the Hive block chain. You put this together very well. Thanks so much for this information.
Okay! This was a long read, but a very useful one, I reckon. As I have joined the platform recently. The main takeout from this is that **I need to read a lot! ** Will do that. Thanks for this informative post. Need to come back to it again in the coming days.
Good post. Thanks
Just kidding :-). It's a very good post for newbies which i will share often. Already shared it with a few people i've recruited and will bookmark for future sharing.

You put this together very well. I appreciate the way you added a piece of your own advice to each topic, too. Bravo. I'm surprised only 7 of us mentioned securing your keys, seems low.
Linking this article is my new favorite piece of advice.
My pleasure to be part of this. Thank you for the opportunity.
Thanks as always for your help "the luckiest guy I know".
Have to do what you preach, so have to add in a bit more effort to make this more useful. It would be so lame to just slap in everybody's comments without any of my own input.
As to keys, two great minds made the same comment here..
Wow! As a newbie here, I find this post very helpful. Thank you for sharing 😊😊
I'm glad you found it helpful.
Thank you so much for these insights. They are indeed very helpful as I make my way through in Hive.🙂
Just finished reading from top to bottom. Wow, there's so much to explore. Just followed @newbies-guide as well. I just have trouble getting around so I need to discover more.
It takes a while to get used to things.
Indeed, it will take a while. Still exploring here. :)
Hi @livinguktaiwan,
Thank you for participating in the #teamuk curated tag. We have upvoted your quality content.

thank you very much,this was very helpful ✌😁
I have known this thanks to my buddy who keeps guiding ever since my first time here in hive. Also, thank you so much for this information, this would help my friends who also wanted to join in this platform😊
hi...I'm messaging here too on an old post haha
can you let.me know who is the alt account??
Hi, I hardly ever do much on Hive these days. I'm not sure what you mean by the alt account. I only have this one.
lol what are you talking about 🤣
and who are you 😂😂😂😂😂
@livinguktaiwan ???? lolololol
what a random reply 🙃
and how in the world???
I went back to an old post so they couldn't find it! lol. and ..how did they?!?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
all I can say is that this newbie tip post must still get a lot of views 😅
yeah but it was directed to you! lol and this person is like a year on hive?? hahahah so weird ROFLLLLLLL
Thank you so much for making this post and everyone that contributed. This was extremely helpful and I am grateful.
That's what I did, thank you for more info.
thank you so much @newbies-guide to make me aware about hive community, one thing i put in my mind is READ READ READ about hive community and i will try to give my best for here learning.
To be honest this post of yours really helps a lot to understand everything about this platform. Many many thanks for your amazing advice. I hope that i would get to learn more from you.
Those are really some helpful ways to get in touch with the Hive community and have a smooth start to the blockchain! I think that all of these ways will bear some fruit, but those top 3 are definitely worth it. Thanks for doing this poll and post!
Keep up the great work!
Cheers,
@andy-plays

You're welcome, glad it was useful, and don't forget to drop by @newbies-guide for more useful post from other community members
Thank you so much for this intensively-prepared educative posts. I am happy to read this as a newbie. The information I have gotten here combined with that of my coach @bhoa will help me a lot. Thank you so much!
Nicely summed up and it's like a small encyclopedia for the new joiners.
Thanks for reaching me and publishing a suggestion suggested :)
It's always a pleasure talking to you, have a good day :)
Thank you @coolguy123, appreciate you helping out. Building something like an encyclopedia is what @newbies-guide is trying to now, hopefully it will help newbies, amd perhaps those who have been around for a while
Great post!
Definitely a good way engage with people, while also talking about things that can help us all grow Hive together. I think having a constant narrative about what Hive is, and why it is important, is really key to helping people realize that this is more than just your average social media.
Thank you @howweroll, definitely with you with regard to engaging with people. This exercise has been great for me to meet new people and engage more with those that I don't normally engage much with (I suck at engagement).
I think there are a lot of people who keep others up to date with everything on Hive, its just a matter of finding those content which quickly get buried in people's blog.
Yeah posts getting buried is both a con, and a pro. Normally it’s about taking advantage of the trending algorithms, which feeds on people’s desires. With Hive you have to be consistent, patient, and you have to connect with others to get noticed. It’s definitely harder, but it brings out the best in those that stick through it. That’s not to say we couldn’t all work on finding ways to make it more understandable, and hopefully easier as Hive develops.
I am honored to be considered as "knowing what I'm doing on Hive." This was a great idea for a post, and I'm sure it will be referenced long after post payout.
You're too humble @justinparke! Hive is not the easiest place to survive in the long run, so to make it for so many years, and run and support communities, and guiding your family with their blogs is no easy task.
I plan to include this in @newbies-guide later, hopefully that will prolong its life
What a wonderful post and you've done alot of engagement and consultation in developing this post.
Great work!
I couldn't have done it without everyone's help, great team work from everyone!
Beautifully complied. Wish I had this when I was a newbie. Had to learn it the hard way, I observed other people blog how they do this. Hahah but that way taught me a lot as well.
Many of us had to learn it the hard way when we started and muddle thru. But we made it! Let's hope we can make os easier for newbies now!
Great job collecting feedback from everyone. I am really impressed. Reblogged to help others have some guidance as they get to know Hive.
It was very interesting reading all the responses from everyone, and it's really was a collective effort. I just did the data crunching😉
Kinda sad to see "secure your keys" so far behind "power up". xD
I wonder why... Maybe everyone is so exciting that they're finally on Hive and forgot aabout - 1 day when the opened up the account 🤔
Omg! I had three invites who totally forgot to copy or downstairs the keys! Tsktsk so they had to start the whole sign up process 👀 sometimes I put a big question mark but I total understand coz some of them thinks it's the same as signing up on FB or Instagram lol
Sometimes I want to borrow 30% more patience from the universe to add to my 1970% 😂
This is really great feedback and clearly shows a format we should be using for onboarding new people.
Thanks for your comment. Collective wisdom and passing on what we know to newbies certainly makes their life a lot easier
Thanks for this information. If new entry can always read this after 5minutes of joining, it will help.
You're welcome, still not too late if you've joined not long ago. You can also consider following @newbies-guide for all the useful Hive information.
Thanks for your suggestions! Great Job!
It's not too late to start some of these suggestions as many who's been around for a while overlook them as well!
This is fantastic. Thank you so much for the work you put into it. I'd like to pin it in some communities and tag this article to people new to HIVE that I occasionally meet.
Thank you @scholaris for helping to spread the word. The more people, particularly newbies are made aware, the better
No thanks required on my part. The thanks goes to you. I've been searching for something like this ever since I started curating/moderating. I've wanted to link something to the people I either DV (for plg) or mentioned their difficulties. Between your welcome guide and markymark's markdown guide I think some of these guys will be set. I believe, and hope, its availability will change some paths.
What I'm surprised about is the lack of presentations of HIVE standards. Plenty of articles, but no concrete repository for them. I'm hoping to have some available in the community I've recently joined.
That's exactly the reason why I set up @newbies-guide!! It's a depository for all useful Hive posts
It's a good summery and I hope it reaches many of the newbies as this is important. It's like the bible of out blockchain.
Thanks for doing this!
Thanks for your input as well @erikah, I plan to reach out to newbies with this post to create awareness as soon as they hop on board
glad to have read this post. I just joined Hive recently.. Will follow the advice
Welcome @actuarialuk91, hopefully this will give you a good head start on hive. @newbies-guide has a lot more information about Hive, if you follow that account and check out some posts every day, you will learn a lot about Hive making your experience a lot smoother
Glad to see others covering some of the many other things I wanted to say after I answered the questions. 😆
Quite a lot of people had a lot to say, and rolled 5 things in each answer😅
But that's good to hear what people have to say
I can agree with pretty much all of those points. I hope some newbies will see this. It can be hard to get started on Hive as it's different to other platforms. It does take work to achieve success.

Great guide for evey newbie, a must read. Rehived. Keep up the amazing work. 👏
Best wishes
If you have limited time, spend it on crafting good comments and engage with people, that's the best way to build up your presence. Only after that, should you focus on creating good content.
Also follow @newbies-guide and read up on all the useful posts about Hive
Only 25 reblogs? Weeeaak.
This post? 37!!! Sometimes it's really difficult to figure out what people value on Hive....
Interesting, maybe the reblog column on my Ecency tops out at 25. 🤔
37?!
Well done :) A guide will definitly help newbies to get started. I remember when being new, it took time to really understand how things work. I think this guide will help in engaging people.
I think many of us learnt the difficult way and many more are still learning!!
Fabulous post @livinguktaiwan 😍.
Lovely to have everything in one place.
Thanks @shanibeer, I didn't see you on Discord so didn't spam you, otherwise your input would have been valuable as well
Excellent publication, I have felt very identified with many things, I am in hive for about a month and I have struggled to understand it.
Reading this I see that I have made some mistakes, especially in the part of relating to other creators. I will work to improve that, thank you very much for the advice.
Welcome to Hive @seryi13! I just looked at your account, you really need to follow more people amd engage more!! There is a big gaming community on Hive, I'm sure you will build up your network easily.
I will also suggest you follow @newbies-guide and read some useful posts. We will be posting a Spanish collection of useful posts in the next few days to help the Hispanic community
Thank you very much, I will be attentive.
This is so helpful! I shared it to my new onboarded friends! Thank you so much for writing this!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks @purepinay , its great that you're bringing so many newbies on board 🏅
If you can also point them to follow @newbies-guide that would be much appreciated. We're building a depository of useful posts for Hive, and that will make it much easier for newbies to find information 😊
My pleasure and yes the @newbies-guide is really helpful. I also have some questions from the new boarded members, could it send those questions to you? Maybe you could also add them to you futures posts.
I will have them follow, @newbies-guide. Right now am just letting them take a break coz they're quite overwhelmed!!! Hahaha
Sure, send them over anytime.
Sometimes less is more, don't want to scare people away!!
Could I also use some of the information there for the presentation at the upcoming Seminar for the on boarded members?
Yes of course, feel free. Just make sure you point them to @newbies-guide as well 😊
And one that I learned about onboarding new members, is not send @ybanezkim's introduction post as an example coz they said got a a little stressed! Haha not everyone can write an introvert post like Kim you know! Now most of them are taking forever to write their introduction haha! Kim raised the standard all the way to the moon! Haha
Ha ha! His are big shoes to fill!
Unless one is into writing, 300-400 words should cover everything - where you're from, how you got your username (always a nice ice breaker), your hobbies and interests, likes and dislike (try to make it fun), how you found out about Hive, links to personal websites and social media (if they plan to cross post get them to add a Hive link there so we know they're not an imposter), crypto experience (if any), and what you're hoping to get out from Hive. And if they not anon, a selfie holding a Hive logo and date to verify identity will be ideal. It adds creditability.
Wow! Thanks a lot for this guideline! You're awesome! I'll add this to the intro guideline sheets.

Super great work @livinguktaiwan. This is a blueprint not only for a newbie but for most to follow to ensure longevity and success in the platform. I am really honored to have been a part of it although I must say I feel that this post is talking to me directly, telling me what I should do and do better in the platform. Great initiative. Great job.
You're doing great already @gems.and.cookies but I think there are always things we can continue to learn from each other. So hopefully everyone can take away something from this post

Hi @sahmie welcome to Hive. I think after reading this post, you may have figured out what things you can do differently now to make your Hive experience more enjoyable. Help is around in many places, you just need to ask. Also, i would suggest you follow @newbies-guide and spend some time each day to read a little about Hive. It will pay off in the long run
Thank you. But this is actually though in every aspect than I had hoped for.
Great post, @livinguktaiwan.
It's really useful for newbies who want to get started by doing the right thing around here.
Let's hope so @wiseagent, thanks for dropping by!
A good guide. I toke my first steps on HIVE a week ago, I'm lucky to have a friend that is been on on HIVE for many years and he he gave me more or less the same advice.
I think that some points you share in your post are for newbie but are still useful to develop our profiles in the best way.
Thank you for the sharing!
Welcome to Hive @will91! Having a friend guide you is very helpful, so that's a great start. There's so much to learn about Hive, it a continuous process, but worth the effort. Make sure to follow @newbies-guide so you can easily useful Hive posts to read!!
That's a lot of useful information that you compiled right there. Hopefully newbies (and even some long time users) read it and take it to heart. Great project that you created. Well done!
Thanks @leaky20 and your help.
No problem. By the way, I'm using peakd again and it seems to be working fine this go around :)
Oh my gosh! I only realised that I was not following you till just now. I am so embarrassed. Great tips here. Lots of the lessons I learned the hard way so it is great to have them so nicely laid out in one place.
No worries!! I read a lot of people's post all the time via other ways and don't realise I don't follow them either.
This will feed into a new project I've set up called @newbies-guide, it's a depository to hold useful Hive posts so people don't have to search all over the chain for them.
