EXCUSES - A Newbie's Guide

Greetings to my esteemed friends on the Proofofbrain platform and the entire hive blockchain. It's another day and time to share with you reasons why most newbies don't make reasonable progress on the hive blockchain and tips on how they can change the habits of making reasonable and unreasonable excuses. It's your friend @faquan, saying hello from this part of the world.

“There are a thousand excuses for failure but never a good reason.”
—MARK TWAIN

One of the things that discourages newbies on the hive blockchain is not having instant adoption into most commumities on the hive blockchain. Most Hivers at their first post (introduction post) make huge impact and attracted high upvotes but after that, they tend not to see or struggle with upvotes.

This situation quickly makes them to abscond from creating contents on the blockchain. Everyone on the blockchain I'll say was once a newbie and through diligence they fought their way into the mainstream of the blockchain. Most a times, the reason for not continuing with the initial zeal is excuses and not really the issues of upvotes.

The Hive blockchain is full of mystery, things to learn, unlearn and relearn if one wants to succeed as a content creator on the blockchain. One of the things you have to unlearn is making excuses why you're not making progress in terms of upvotes and recognition on different hive commumities.

Excuses are open doors for justifying why things or tasks are not done. It is clear that there are many plying the excuse route and the most amazing fact about these people is that they want to make progress and succeed without doing anything.

Losers make excuses; winners make progress. Now, how can you tell if
your favorite excuse is valid or not? It’s simple. Look around and ask, “Is
there anyone else who has my same excuse who is successful anyway?”

How to Succeed on the Hive Blockchain as a Newbie

• Consistency is key 🗝️ whatever you do on a consistent manner becomes part of you and also sells what you do to the platform. Everyone on the planet earth is gifted in one way or another and doing that always tends to advertise you and your products to the general public. For instance, there are people that are good with cooking and special recipe, what they need to do as newbies is to continue to create contents on the special recipes until they're known in the food related commumities on the hive blockchain.

• Engagement is Phenomenal: engaging a commumity with reasonable comments and replies is one of the quickest way to show commitment to such a commumity. Therefore, engagement simply means from the hive context, replying, commenting and commenting on other people's comments. By doing this you'll also receive some upvotes and with time your contents will become part of the community and at some point you'll become a substantial member of that commumity.

• Avoid Spamming and Plagiarism: spamming and plagiarism are serious offences on the hive blockchain and can lead to loss of account. Spamming means taking advantage and exploiting the community or the entire hive blockchain. Plagiarism simply means copying and making use of other people's work(s) without proper sourcing.

• Increase your following and subscribe to more commumities: one of the blessings of having more followers and following is that you have many who'll view and read your contents and in the process they might be touched to upvote your post.

• Stake Hive or Hive-Engine Tokens: One of the ways to remove your eyes from upvotes is to become a curator yourself. Curating helps you make some passive income on the hive blockchain. At this point, you become a supporter of the blockchain and not just one who wants to takeaway from the blockchain. Staking has a way of giving you influence in that commumity or hive blockchain.
