The success here comes by showing the real you, writing what you think, what you like, what you do, and people will like that.

At the end is all about enjoying the trip. People have their reason to take this so serious like a full time job, and is valid too.

I agree with you mate, I've always said that if you do something for pleasure it doesn't mean a job so it should be for all content creators.

Happy vacations have a great time. !PGM !PIZZA

It is a complicated issue because there are times when we think we receive much more support than we do, but if we do what we are passionate about and publish it even if we do not have extremely high votes, we are happy with our daily work. And it is true that success does not come overnight, we must build solid foundations where we will support each other to achieve what we seek so much.

Hahah yeah for sure man! I put hours of effort in some of my posts and gotten shit for rewards. Some other posts I put 10-15 minutes of effort into it and I get 20-50$ for it! Lol it's so hit or miss for a lot of us but I think it's totally fine!

The money is definitely a good part of it all but it's important to spend time on the chain and engage with people and other things like that. When people put too much effort and focus in things like a post, they sometimes tend to focus on the rewards more than the content and then it just becomes a spiral of negativity. If it isn't received well enough then sometimes, despite our best efforts, we get jaded and bitter. If we are able to mitigate that and not let that get too strong then we are in a good spot but sadly some people let that get the best of them!

It's definitely about keeping it as a balance and keeping it fun. All of the new people that I've interacted with that just found the chain here, one of the things I tell them that's the most important part of all of this is to make sure you are having fun and enjoying it! Don't take it too seriously otherwise it will become more like work and less like fun and you likely won't end up enjoying it in the end. That and comments/engagement is key but I think the enjoyment of it comes first then engagement and all that second.

I used to struggle with it at the beginning, I'll edit my drafts a numbers of times and try rewriting it better. I just wanted it to be as perfect as possible. It sometimes took me hours just to get it done.

But then, I had a realization through reading other contents and studying my own. The ones that don't have much effort put into it usually have more engagement that the ones where much effort is put into it.

I think too much effort meddles with the creative process and you end up missing the mark all together.

What I am always telling to myself is don't rely on upvotes and tips, just give value to the community and it will be good.

It happens (somehow)

I agree with you on this. I sometimes spend 3 and sometimes 4 hours to produce content and this is completely my choice. Because I love it. I want to present my content to people in the best way. I read what I write twice and correct it if there is a typo. Because the person who reads it deserves it. Awards don't always come, but when you go back and read it yourself, you will say that I wrote a really good article. Or in the future when Hive becomes more popular and is actively used all over the world, people will read it and say wow man, this is a really informative and good article. I should follow this author's other articles. Again a great topic man, congratulations.

You are absolutely right in everything you mention brother, there are good and not so good, just as we can try so hard to achieve our goals, we can also take the proper rest that our bodies need, it is not good to try so hard, the important thing is that despite the situations you continue to fight without giving up, many persons in hive s give up in a week because they have not been able to generate good income after 7 days, they think they will become rich overnight just by publishing a post, you have to keep publishing and keep fighting, it is also good to take a little break, I for example I take between one to two days off in publications when my brain asks me hehehehe.

PS, you told me you were going to the barbershop, and wow your beard looks great, I wish mine was like that, I only have three hairs on my beard hahahahaha
Good video brother, greetings.

My advice is you've just gotta do what you've gotta do to keep it fun... no matter what! :)

😉😁🤣 uh huh.. I've been at that point before, when i first started and really tried to put out like long, detailed blogs explaining every little thing. and I thought it was some of the best, most important stuff (to me), but since I hardly knew other hivers, it only got a few upvotes. 😥

but now.. what? me spend lots of time on a post (like hours) or take 20 pics and try and jam them into a post (or how about the 3 in 1 mega post that u have to scroll for like 10 minutes?! :P)

it's sad how every new hiver (and i definitely thought so too) thinks that if u just spend hours on the somehow perfect in every way post, it will magically get a BIG reward. OR I am no great writer, so I guess I will never be a top hiver and (insert tears) poor me.. (maybe the secret to hive success is to be great at video making like daltono??)

but u did perfectly sum up something I've learned, for myself, (and it seems true for u also and probably lots of ppl) that u should put in what effort feels right to u and u don't want to feel like u HAVE to hit a certain amount or somethings.. that it's always fun and cool! Hive is not a place to dread doing any 'work' or with quotas or anything..

It really take time to build something whatwhile, as a beginner in hive if you are really here for the money you will be total dissapointed, because even the little you have from your post will still be divided into two, 1 for curators and the other for author, excelling in hive is not just about the money, it should also be about helping building a community,am still imaginary does people that started hive and they are no more here,maybe their reason is that they think the project is not whatwhile so they left,and the people that remain today are the people we call whale,so it not just about the money,it should be about building a stronger community, a friend that introduce me to hive say i shouldn't worry about the money i made in a post,because if i focus on that i will get fustrated and possibly leave the plaforms, and i heed to the advice, and keep on pushing. That no matter what i will not stop,

up there is my goal, and i can achieve that if i stop, so the only option to me is keep moving.

Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly will acquire the skills to do difficult things easily.
