How to Set Up Your Hive Profile (Step by Step)

in Hive Growth Hub โ€ข 15 days ago (edited)

Hello Hive friends ๐Ÿ‘‹,
Today I want to share with you a professional step-by-step guide on how to set up your Hive profile correctly. Many new users often find this part confusing, so I decided to write this to help the community and also keep records for myself. Iโ€™ve been learning and practicing this for some time now, and hereโ€™s the best way to do it:


๐Ÿ“ Step 1: Log in to Hive

Go to hive.blog/login.html

Enter your username (example: @phaunel001)

Type in your password or WIF key.

Click on Login โœ…

๐Ÿ“ Step 2: Go to Profile Settings

Once logged in, click on the menu (three lines) at the top right.

Select Profile from the dropdown.

Youโ€™ll be redirected to your profile page.

From there, click on Settings.


๐Ÿ“ Step 3: Upload Profile & Cover Image

Under Public Profile Settings, youโ€™ll see:

Profile picture URL โ†’ Click Upload an image and select your photo.

Cover image URL โ†’ Upload a nice cover banner (recommended size: 2048 x 512 pixels).

Tip ๐Ÿ‘‰ Use Canva or any design tool to create a neat banner with your name or something that represents you.


๐Ÿ“ Step 4: Add Your Display Name

In the Display Name box, type your name (example: Phaunel Kelechi).

This is the name people will see when they visit your profile.


๐Ÿ“ Step 5: Write an โ€œAboutโ€ Section

This is very important because it tells people who you are. Keep it short but interesting. Example:

๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œHi, Iโ€™m Phaunel Kelechi, a passionate Hive user. I love football โšฝ, reading ๐Ÿ“š, and music ๐ŸŽถ. I enjoy sharing ideas with the community and growing together.โ€


๐Ÿ“ Step 6: Add Your Location (Optional)

You can put Abia State, Nigeria or just Nigeria.

This helps people know where youโ€™re from.


๐Ÿ“ Step 7: Save Changes

Scroll down and click Update Profile.

Congratulations ๐ŸŽ‰ your Hive profile is now set up
