A newbies guide from a newbie in search of guidance!

Lets look at Sloths journey back into Hive! A beginners guide of sorts!

As mentioned in several posts already this is my grand return to Hive, having tried to get into it many moons ago, then focusing on our own websites/social media networks, we're back to where we started, or half started! This time we mean business!

So... How to Hive?

Well... Let me take you on a journey! We go back to the end of August 2022!

Sloth "returns" to Hive, for the 4th time I think, but this time it's different! He's motivated, he has goals in mind and he's ALIVE and thriving!

But, the questions about Hive just keep building.

Let's start with the basics,

What is Hive, How does it work - @Pitboy

A great introduction to Hive, and what it is! How to earn and what you're earning! Next we check out another Pitboy post, this time regarding Hive wallet - Pitboy

Source - Pitboy

Personally, I think this is the most important takeaway for new Hivians (other than knowing how your wallet works and keeping it safe!) Make sure to Power up as much as you can! It really starts to escalate your earning potential!

This brings me to a side point, Hive Power up Day and for you experienced Hivians, how you can "Help power up" another user. - @Hivebuzz

Ok, so we have the very basics, what's next?

Once again Pitboy sets us on the right path, showing us "What are the Different Ways to Earn Hive?" - Pitboy

@shortsegments goes on to further explain "Delegation." for those looking for a more laid back approach. It may also be worth checking out Hive.Vote to follow a curation trail.

You're now ready to start your Hive journey! Time to earn by curating or creating! Make sure to add some formatting to your post, it can make a big difference to the readability, therefore the retention of your readers!

5 powerful formatting tips - @sidwrites. Whilst checking out Sidwrites posts, have a look at "19 Ultimate Hive Tips For Brand New Users."

@castleberry gives us some great rules and etiquette to help you begin your journey through Hive! In fact, they show "how to get a great start on hive."

A final mention for Pitboy and his post how to use tags a key part to your posts success!

So that's you all but ready to go, a quick overview of what other hive users think the "best" way for new users to use Hive in this post from @livinguktiawan. What newbies should do in their first week.

If that's not enough information for you, feel free to keep diving further into Hive as you begin to DYOR! 2 months in and I'm loving it so far! Here's my "Tips to get rich quick on Hive"

@slothlydoesit, sorry! You need more to stake more $PIZZA to use this command.

The minimum requirement is 20.0 PIZZA staked.

More $PIZZA is available from Hive-Engine or Tribaldex

Quite a point you made here... sometimes I wonder how people waste so much time on Facebook but obviously everyone knows what they want... but what if they don't know about hive...is totally different.

Ask Ask and Ask some more, it I joined September 2021 and in the next four months came and went like a yoyo. On january1st I powered and ever since I became hooked and just explored and learned along the way, every day you will learn more and more!
Saw this in dreemport tonight:)

Hive is a mystery to a newbie... I know! I struggled my first few weeks on the platform... and I have seen so many struggle... because let's face it - they don't make it very easy! ... but over time...things just become easier... there is still so much that I keep finding out that I didn't know... even after almost 17 months on the platform !LOLZ ... it's always great to have fresh perspectives How to Hive - lots of people out there who need the help! !PIZZA !ALIVE

I dropped in from Dreemport this evening.

Welcome back to Hive :) As for getting rich quick, please don't expect that. A slow, steady growth for your first fully active year would be a much better thin to try for :) Oh, and make genuine connections, that's where the true treasure lies 🙌

I found your post via Dreemport 🙌

!PIZZA !ALIVE !LOL

Thanks for reading the content, if you read the "get rich quick" article you'll see it's a bit of a humorous take on what many think when they join Hive.

Making connections and slow sloth-like growth is most definitely the "best" way to Hive.

I wouldn't call it sloth-like exactly, more like frog-like 🤣 Usually just hopping along slowly, but every so often getting that one unexpected leap forward :) ... And that's exactly what this dip has been, a nice big leap forward 😲

!PIZZA !ALIVE !LOL

I like that take on it, definitely noticed a few "leaps" or Buzzes, in my progress! Enjoying partaking in some of the awesome communities and events on Hive, from DreemPort and PYPT to communities such as Pizza and Pimps!

Great chance to grab some "cheap" Hive, will be interesting to see how the crypto market plays out over the following days and weeks.

We can't look at days, it's more like months. Let everyone else worry, and just keep doing what we do :) ... Day trading during this time is fine too, just never actually depend on the price doing what you think it will 😂

Seems like this post is specially posted for newbies so that they should scratch the surface in a better way hehe. Well understanding the hive is easy than missing the hive family and engagement when you are addicted to it. Thanks for dropping this post in dreemport.

I like to try to put my own spin on things, only those willing to do their own research and actually read will make it on Hive, it's great having your own content, but there are thousands of other creators out there. I'm sure one of them has learned a thing or two in their time on Hive!

Thanks for stopping by, loving the dreemport experience so far, I'll need to get on and do some curations today!

Yups writing with freedom is the best part of content creation on Hive. Well you have time left before the next curation cycle starts 😁
