If you've been publishing on Medium, Blogspot, Substack, or any other platform, you already have an audience and a body of work. But you're also at the mercy of algorithms, platform policies, and monetization models you didn't agree to.
Ecency's import feature makes it easy to bring your existing content to Hive - the decentralized, censorship-resistant blockchain where you own your words and your audience decides your rewards.
How It Works
Paste the URL of any article you've written
Ecency pulls the content into the editor - formatted and ready to review
Adjust, add tags, and publish to Hive
No copy-pasting, no reformatting from scratch. Your content is live on Hive in minutes.
Your Content, Properly Credited
Ecency automatically includes a reference to the original source when you import. Your Hive audience will always know where the piece first appeared - full transparency, no ambiguity.
Rewards Are Up to You
Unlike Medium's partner program or Blogspot's ad revenue, Hive rewards are driven by the community. When you publish, readers can upvote your post and you earn directly - no middleman, no revenue share.
If you're resharing older work, you can choose to decline rewards as a courtesy to your audience. Or leave it open and let them decide - if the content adds value, there's no reason not to be rewarded for it.
Why Hive?
You own your content - it lives on-chain, permanently
No ads, no algorithm suppression - your post reaches your followers directly
Community-driven rewards - readers support writers they value
No platform risk - your account and content can't be deplatformed
Medium can change its paywall rules. Blogspot can shut down. Your Hive posts are permanent.
Who Should Use This?
Writers with a backlog of articles worth a wider audience
Bloggers looking for a censorship-resistant backup for their work
Creators tired of platform fees eating into their earnings
Anyone who wants to own their publishing stack

This is amazing! Should've been available years ago!
This is a really powerful message when you think about it. A lot of people are stuck waiting for the “perfect time” instead of just starting with what they have. What you shared here is a good reminder that progress matters more than perfection. Even small steps count, and over time they add up to something bigger. Posts like this can actually motivate someone to take action, so keep it up.
Honestly i must say that is really awesome, but am just trying my best thats all
Interesting have a friend that needs too try it out
good information
I'm not publishing on any of the platforms mentioned; I'm on Hive, via Ecency and I love it here. I'm a newbie, learning fast and hopefully will make my mark here. Thanks for the encouragement.
This is amazing, thank you for your implementation!
This is a nice change in the right direction, since it can help the Ecency platform and the entire Hive ecosystem build an even stronger web presence content-wise and in terms of attracting and engaging a wider audience of users👍.
My first post using this new feature: https://ecency.com/hive-195880/@thepavsalford/eng-esp-how-to-deal
Excellent, very efficient. Next time I'll post on this platform. One question: is it possible to include videos?
Thanks for promoting Ecency to let people know what they are missing out on!
very creative ... weldone i love this
The biggest part here is the blog ownership. Medium and substack can end at anytime. Your out of luck when that occurs.
This is really a good initiative by ecency for authors.
That's a good update
That's great! But I started blogging with Ecency, almost 10 years ago, so I don't have posts on other media/social networks :)
This is very interesting ….
I have been blogging on Blogger / Blogspot since 1999 and YouTube since 2006
The only place I have been Censored, Muted, and Demonetized is here on Ecency and Hive
For no reason … since 2021
Nobody cares.
Nobody helps ….
it's fine :) usual, expected, cult like even.
It seems that way…. Nothing like it anywhere on the internet.
yeah pretty wild. cult be culting
No downvotes or censorship on Twiggy.lat
Https://Twiggy.lat

This is indication of downvoted content. Nobody censored content still visible and accessible. We should make marking downvoted content differently, that we will work on. Thanks for feedback!
Thanks …
But on Ecency everything I post gets muted … only a blank screen … everything is censored
By the Community Moderators
This is all anyone sees when they visit my Ecency Blog from YouTube, X, Instagram, Facebook where I have millions of followers
Looks bad
Yes, that's exactly what we will improve and change today. Downvoted content apparently marked as Community muted which is wrong and bug.
Great. Thanks
I’m happy I could bring this Bug to your attention … it makes Ecency look very bad to people from outside who join via my referral link
I have also been a victim of censorship; It would be good if one chose the accounts that cannot see the articles.
Thanks … this looks better !
It shows what people
downvoted … but gives no reason for the Downvotes.
All rewards taken away … since 2021
Good article. Congrats.
i think i inspired this! :) hahah.
Sigo afirmando que Hive si ayuda mucho más de lo que esperaba, solo debemos ser creativos y originales para ellos, exponer aquí tus talentos y usar los tags adecuadamente para irnos posicionarnos donde merecemos. Gracias Hive
👍
Thanks for this update
This is really amazing step!
It will be a good initiative to get more users on to Hive.
Thanks for the Update by the way.
