1. Account Trouble
I remember when I joined the Hive network I had a really hard time writing articles in 4 different Communities (LeoFinance, Ecency, Hiveblog, Peakd) because at the time I didn't know how things were going here! So I created a different account in each community and that's why I had trouble writing in all the communities. But gradually I began to discover one thing after another after reading different articles in all 4 communities.
I realized that there are some articles I see in LeoFinance but also the same articles I see in Ecency, Hivebolg, and Peakd! So from then on, I started doing research on the subject until I discovered something called Hive Keychain 😂. I was very happy after reading a few articles about Hive Keychain and understanding its function, so all I did was create a new account "this one I use now" and then I downloaded the Hive Kechain extension and I used my LeoFinance account keys to open an account on Ecency, Hiveblog, and Peakd. Eventually, I too managed to write an article in just one community "LeoFinance" and then it appeared in my other accounts which I opened with my LeoFinance account keys!
2. Fear of Writing Articles
After successfully creating an account in all 4 communities using Keychain, the problem came in article writing! I was very scared after seeing some articles of other authors attract a lot of people and getting enough votes but with a lot of comments as well, so I got scared because I didn't know what to write so that I could be seen even by a few people.
So for the second time, I had to do some research on articles regularly written in LeoFinance to at least know where to start. There I realized that LeoFinance is not just a name, but it is the biggest thing written in this community "Finance". I saw this because a large percentage of popular articles are talking about finance by more than 95% and those articles are very successful. It doesn't matter what you write about finance, but write constructive, well-organized articles and you will see results! I proved this by writing my own article and seeing its response, I did not expect that anyone would read it but the strange thing was that it got readers, votes, and comments even though I was a new member! So I got some guidance in writing an article and my fears ended there!
3. Membership Cooperation
After writing my few articles I was able to discover something new! I wondered how one person could have 200 followers on his account? Because I spent more than a week getting only one follower on my account! I was amazed to see that you could write many articles and get comments even from 50 readers, but none of them could follow you! So I decided to do another research on this issue.
It didn't take me long to find answers in this study. After reading a few articles from some members I realized that someone may comment on your article but may not follow you because they need your cooperation as well! I mean it would be hard for a member to follow you if he/she comment twice on your different articles but you don’t even get time to look at his articles! This means that members will not follow you because you have a good article, but your cooperation with them as it is for you will make them follow you! So I realized that the easy way to get followers for your account is to show them co-operation in their articles just as they do for you.
4. Withdrawing my Earnings
The thing that bothered me a lot was this, it was very difficult for me to withdraw my earned tokens from Hive Keychain to external wallets or exchanges. Every way I tried I was failing until I thought maybe I should reach a certain amount of money "maybe $100" and I will be able to withdraw 😂. But I was not right at all in this matter.
So I kept researching how to withdraw my tokens and finally found out after about a week and a couple of days. I was amazed to find that I could transfer my tokens directly from Hive Keychain to an external wallet or an exchange by using Hive Engine, and I can receive BTC, LTC, or even DOGE! I confirmed this by withdrawing 512 DOGE today to my Yobit account without any problem, the transaction took place in just 2 minutes from appearing in my Yobit account!
To be honest, after doing these researches and understanding the most important things that were bothering me, I am now motivated to be active and write articles regularly but also to collaborate with my fellow members in their articles!
I wanted to share this because there are new members like me, and maybe this article will help them at least a little bit to get a guide on how to get started.
