How Do You Do It? .:. September 1st HivePUD
There are at least three types of people, or better said, three types of reasons why people ask this question from the title... "How do you do it?"... The first reason is probably, just curiosity, pure boredom, or to have a small talk topic to talk about...
The second reason is that people would like to know "your secret"... And if it is possible, to copy the steps and try to reach success... Many times, there is no secret but rather hard work behind it, but it looks better if it is "presented" as a secret... :)
And the third reason is very common... It's the reason that gives you the reason to invent excuses... "It was easy for him as he had a lot of money in the first place"... or... "He did as everyone helped him and nobody wants to help me"... or... "He was lucky to have that and that"...

Created in Canva.com
I belong in the second category... I would like to know how it is done and try to do it myself... It is more like a challenge that motivates me to push and try to reach the goal...
On the other side, I do understand that things/steps that work for someone else don't mean that they will work for me, as we are all different... But having an example, or even better, having more examples can help in creating your OWN strategy, creating your own path to the goal! It's like a puzzle, you take different approaches and create your UNIQUE solution...
How do I do my 1K Hive power-ups every #HivePUD?
Lately, I haven't purchased any HIVE tokens with my fiat money, and all that I power up are my earnings from the HIVE ecosystem specifically... Also, I'm lucky that I don't have to power down or withdraw funds at the moment as that would be painful with this low HIVE price...
During the past years, I have accumulated different tokens on Hive-Engine, taken some profits in stablecoins, and in the end, used those funds to add liquidity to a couple of Diesel Pools... The rewards that I get from doing that are exchanged into SWAP.HIVE, and later on, into the HIVE...
I'm actively playing a couple of games here on HIVE, and I'm taking some profits from each of them... It's not some crazy amount as I reinvest most of the earnings, but it adds up over time and helps in collecting those 1K needed for #HivePUD
I run the Hive-Engine node and I exchange part of the earnings into HIVE
Over time, I have accumulated a significant amount of some tribe tokens... As they are staked, I do earn curation rewards from that and I do exchange part of those earnings into HIVE.
I have bought a couple of H-E miners that are bringing stable earnings day by day...
I have delegated HivePower from my gaming account (and some from my main account), and for doing that, I receive dividends that I exchange into HIVE...
The rest of the funds come from my author rewards from the posts... When the HIVE price is low (in my opinion), I buy tokens with my HBD...
...and that's it! That's my "secret"... Feel free to implement some of these "tricks" to generate more HIVE and progress faster in accumulating more HivePower! But, don't forget to STAY FOCUSED on your main goal!
How do you do it? Please share in the comment section!
Back to the most important thing of the day! Time to power up some HIVE!
This was my HivePower BEFORE the PowerUP:
Powering UP ALL liquid Hive as always:
And the final result is:
The Next stop is 75K Hive Power!!!
Another 1K power-up under my belt and I'm happy that I'm able to do it for this long! It is the 9th 1K power-up this year and the 23rd 1K power-up in a row! If I succeed in doing it next month, it will be 2 full years of continuously doing this...
The other "tradition" that I would like to nurture is participating in #HivePUM as long as possible... As it is much harder to do it than #HivePUD, I have failed to get the badge a couple of times... So, my HivePUM streak began this year, and this one is my 8th HivePUM badge in a row!

Source
To show you how challenging is to do it, I'm showing you the graph of participants in the latest #HivePUM... As you can see, this illustrates the days in August and how many participants were eligible... Almost every day, we would lose a couple of people down on the road, and unfortunately, we lost one on the very last day...
I know how it feels to fail when you are almost at the end of the road... Look at my HivePUM participation in December 2022!
I failed to power up only once, and it was only 2 days before the end of the month! 🤦
To get this badge, you should power up at least 1 HIVE every day of the month OR create a post every day with rewards set to 100% HP...
So, what is #HivePUD?
Just a short introduction to HivePUD... What does it mean at all? #HivePUD is shortened for the Hive Power Up Day. It's an event when Hive members power up their liquid HIVE and stop any active PowerDown! It is organized by great fellow Hivians @streetstyle and @traciyork and is held every 1st day of a month.
You can check all the details about the #HivePUD at the official post that you can find it here: https://peakd.com/hive-122221/@traciyork/its-here-hive-power-up-day-for-september-1st-2023

I am the type of person who belongs to category one.
Now that you said that, I do like to know certain things just by curiosity... But, if I want to WORK on it, I do dive deeper and go into the second category... :)
Thank you so much @ph1102, yes, can deeper into the next category.
Happy HPUD and HPUM 🎉🎉😊
I missed January and March this year due to no internet and moving hahaha all other months I managed.
It can be hard… and you only need to miss one day… due to business or…? … at the moment I have created a routine and power up with my morning coffee ☕️ each day 😋🍀🤞🏻
I belong to the second one too 😉
If someone was moving around this year, that was you! lol... Not every time by your will, but that doesn't matter... 😃 So, you have a valid excuse! 😃
Hehehe.. I did something similar, not with coffee, but in the morning as the first thing to do after logging into my Keychain... 😃
Happy HivePUD!
Hahaha !LOL yep… I do have valid excuses 😎
That works too. If you make it a habit it is ingrained and should help to complete the months.
Have a fantastic weekend 👋🏻😊
Morning!

You power up all liquid hive while i convert my HBD into liquid hive too then power those hive too lol 😂
Should we buy hive from fiat or not?
Huh... That question is very personal and it really depends on you... I did buy HIVE in the past, especially when it was cheap cheap... I remember buying a nice chunk when it was around 12-15 cents!
If you do buy crypto, try to stick to that good old rule... Do not invest more than you can afford to lose!
I know it's very personal question lol i mean how could you tell that we should buy or not but i was just asking about your experience 😃
Wow i just know that someday hive was around 12 cents too.
Yes i know we should invest in cryptocurrency our extra money which we can afford to lose
It's not that I'm hiding my investments as everyone can see it, it's just that I don't want to "influence" and "make" people buy... Everyone should decide their own investments and not listen to "gurus" 😃
I have my "limits" when I will buy HIVE (for example), and when I would consider selling some... At the moment, I'm waiting price under @0.25 to buy some more (exchange some of my HBD to HIVE), and maybe sell some when we go over $0.5 (will probably wait for that price for some time... lol...)
It means you're doing a kind of trading here on hive 😉 that's great too
You definitely belong to the second category. I like to think of myself in that category too. But I am lazy too...lol
Congrats on your big power-up. 70K is a big achievement and good luck for your next milestone.
Well, I'm also lazy sometimes... lol... To have that "information" about How someone is doing it can be relatively easy... But, to TAKE ACTION, and DO THINGS is something completely different... 😃
The Internet is a perfect example of that... You can find ANY information that you want, but what will you do with that information is ON YOU! 😃
Thanks for your kind words! All the best!
Then you just answer my question of how you do it
... and I hope it will help others... How do you do it?
I earn more than 1000 HIVE per month in the Hive ecosystem. Basically, this is trading on Hive-Engine. I recently bought RIFT for 10000 HIVE and now I have +20% unrealized profit. Therefore, I do not increase HP now, maybe later.
Don't forget to tag #aliveandthriving, you will get more followers and 5-10 ALIVE coins per post.
Thanks for sharing YOUR way to earn on HIVE! It's important that we share our stories as they can motivate and MOVE others to try to do something similar... Your example shows that "it is possible"!
Thanks for the tip about the ALIVE tribe... I know Erik for a long time, and the tribe had specific rules for their tag and I didn't want to abuse them... Not sure if my posts will fit there... 😉
Yeaa, all the little bits here and there add up.
Well done on another 1k! :D
@tipu curate 2
Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 16/56) Liquid rewards.
Thank you very much! Indeed, every little one counts! I know that sometimes it looks like peanuts, but it adds up, and especially with crypto when the value of peanuts can grow significantly!
Happy HivePUD!
Congrats man for adding another 1K to stake. I should also run a witness node, that could help lol. Otherwise I'm doing a bit the same and... it works ;-)
It works when you take action and do things... It doesn't work when people stay on the sidelines and make excuses... 😃
Fantastic work with your 23rd 1k HPUD in a row. 2 years is a great achievement. I think I also fall into category 2, I like to figure out how things work and then try to do things my way if I can.
Thank you!
I know that it's not the best thing to follow others, but it always helped me to see examples of how it is done... and then to change it and create a suitable solution for myself and my "style"... 😃
It means you are earning 1k hive per month, which is a great achievement my friend.
It is... And if I can do it, others can do it too! :)
So, how do you do it?
😂😂😂
I explained it in the post... And asked others how they are doing it... 😃
It is very bad that I always forget to power up on HPUD. I power up everyday but I realized that there are some benefits attached to powering up on this day.
I won't miss it next month
Yes, for smaller accounts, I think there are some rewards for doing it...
Oh I remember doing the hpum long ago. It was pure stress to not forget the daily power up.
Hehehehe... It doesn't have to be... I have created a daily/morning routine where I do a couple of things and one of them is to power up... So, it's not that stressing... :)
Nice powerup and it's too bad you missed just a single day. I wonder if there was a way to schedule power-ups in the future as a recurring thing.
Thanks! Btw. I missed that one day in December 2022... Just showed as an example that it can happen to everyone and it's not pleasant to see...
Obviously, that was a good lesson as I didn't miss a day since that...
I suppose that creating such a tool for automatic power-ups will take all the joy from doing it manually day by day... 😃
Congratulations @ph1102! You received a personal badge!
See you at the next Power Up day to see if you will repeat this feat.
May the Hive Power be with you!

Happy hpud. There are such people in the world as you are telling me, I would like to say here that a person should stay away from such people who cannot tolerate human development and they are greedy and jealous.
I have no idea what are you talking about... 🤔
Congratulations on your power up.
Doing 1K power ups every month is not easy but you have been doing it for a long time. Great!
Like you, I also convert HBDs to HIVEs when the value is like the current one

Well done King @ph1102, libertycrypto27(3/14) is appreciative of the time and attention you put into writing this post. Your efforts are truly valued.
You are a true asset to this community. @libertycrypto27 is sending you 50.0 EXP as a way to say thank you for all that you do.
BTW! EXP! is the token that will unlock the full experience of our games and give you access to all the rewards
@ph1102! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @ libertycrypto27. (2/10)
The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want, plus you can win Hive Power (2x 50 HP) and Alive Power (2x 500 AP) delegations (4 weeks), and Ecency Points (4x 50 EP), in our chat every day.

Thanks! Converting from HBD to HIVE when the price is low is the only logical thing that you can do... Can't understand people doing it and vice-versa... Except if you are in need of money... Then you can't choose the moment...
!BEER
Congrats on keeping the streak of 1k powerups going! That's awesome!
You were smart to keep your HE stakes, it seems, even though many lost value over time. I got rid of many of them over time for HIVE (and never had the amounts you had because I wasn't interested in the leaderboard).
I need to take more profits out of games. I haven't taken anything out of Splinterlands for a while because of the land thing. I also have taken little profits out of Rising Star and none for a pretty long time. Conversely, there are games where I decide from the start I want to take most profits out. And others where I grow my account seriously but also take profits. Sometimes it depends on what happens in the game. For example, in one game I wanted to build my character but started to get raided (without any possible defense really), and decided to withdraw as much as possible and put it to LPs for the time being, and the rest stake it in-game. Make it as passive as possible, and not a raid target.
I also prefer being in the 2nd category...
Thanks!
Regarding H-E tokens, that's debatable... lol... What is smart and what is not... I made a lot of mistakes with some of them as it was hard to predict who is a "serious player" in the market, but now things are much clearer...
The CTP was my biggest bag, but I was doing it mostly for the community and not that much to get on the leaderboard... That just happened naturally as I was creating content every single day and accumulated tons of tokens... Maybe it would be better that I sold them before the crash, maybe not... It's similar to growing the GLX stake... The price was higher in the past, but if I sold them, I wouldn't have the stake that I have... Or maybe I would if I would re-buy them when the price is low... So, I'm still not sure what is a "good approach"...
Regarding games, I'm happy that I did differently with the newest two additions to my daily "clicking", the Terracore and GO games... I got in early, literally in the first few hours, invested what was needed, took out the investment after 2-3 days, and the rest are profits... Now, I still build my stake (characters) in the game with earnings, but also take some profits whenever I can... Yes, tokens are cheap, but they can always go lower... You can always add additional decimal places on the tokens... The same goes for big ones like Splinterlands or Rising Star...
Converting HBD to HIVE when its price is low is very reasonable to as well. However, I put a goal of accumulating 1000 HBD. After that, I could do it.
Everyone has different priorities and goals... The most important is to have them... :)

Congratulations!🥂
Thank you!
Missed this, congratulations on passing 70k!
No ifs and buts, that is fluffing awesome.
Hehehehe... thanks!
I tend to ignore "buts' lately... I have a feeling that 80% of people's conversations are making excuses... 😂
hehe well September is here, so no more excuses from me 🤣
I am often contacted by individuals who clearly believe that my input/suggestions will bring about success for them. This is sometimes from already successful individuals (in other spheres), and one wonders how they achieved those successes?
Well, it's not bad to ask things and to be curious about how things are done, but as soon as we realize that OUR own path is unique, we can grow... Collect good ideas, mix them up, and pave your road to success! I believe that's the way to do it and not just "copy" others without adding that special, unique ingredient... :)
