Hey guys and girls‼️
Hope you all had a good week. Blessings for the week to come. It's been 18 days ago that I came to Hive.
It was definitely easier than my first days on steemit more than 3 years ago. What made it a bit easier, was support from former friends and communities. That is big plus for me.
As mentioned before I have to make some money from my posts as I have no income currently due to the lock down. After 18 days I have almost 20 Hive dollars in my wallet. With the current dollar Rand exchange rate if I cash it out I will have about R320.

If I slice my budget very thin then that R320 will be able to buy me essentials like bread, milk, eggs, margarine and even some chicken to last me a week. So yes, it will definitely help. If I can make that in 7 days it would be great.
A big thanks to everyone that voted on my posts this past 18 days. 🥰 You are helping to feed me and hubby.😁 No jokes.
I have experimenting with posting in several communities. I had no luck in OCD or in GEMS. My posts is probably too "blonde" or "shallow" for them. This is not meant in a bad way, I enjoy reading some posts in OCD but I realise that because English is my second language, I will never be that fluently and well versed as most of the writers there.
I think I have found some routine and rhythm in my posting. I do my Christian post almost daily or every other day. That posts is not about the earnings but about God and Christian fellowship.
This was one of the downs for me the very little engagement from fellow Christians.
I had some good engagement from @simms50 which was meaningful and enjoyed very much. @mhm-phillipines, a friend from before also engaged, good to catch up with him.
@nextgen622 do a open Church post once a week where there is some Christian engagement. Thanks for the effort 🤗

Come take part in some fellowship there.
I have been commenting on some other Christian posts but up to now it hasn't lead to more engagement on my own posts. 🙄 But I will keep on reading and commenting on Christian content and voting once my HP is up some more.
TWO UPS was my weekly post in @familyprotection and a weekly post in @education where I get support because of my former engagement.
Another down and then a big up!!
I love to take pictures and I tried the photography community with one or two posts but I was not happy with the response there. 🙁🙁🙁
Then I found MyPictureDay challenge last week which I enjoyed very much.

Through a post of @article61 (also a friend from before that supports me now - thank you 🤗), I came across
https://pinmapple.com/
So I pinned MyPictureDay to the map and got some great upvotes from their curation team.
‼️Go check it out‼️
Then lastly my Ulog posts was supported by @surpassinggoogle - thank you 🤗and some of my friends before. I also get upvotes from @teamsa and @lizelle commented on some of my posts - thank you 🥰 I read some other Ulogs and comment and they replied but I don't really see them engage on my Ulogs. I like to read @looftee posts and we had some engagement on his posts and on some of my Ulogs. @punkblogs commented on a few of my posts. Thank you, you two. 💯
I need more engagement from the Uloggers.
But I enjoy posting here, it's a safe non judgemental space for me.
Most of us write to be heard and if people don't read the posts and commenting then I will start wondering is it worth it❓❓
But I am learning about new communities daily. Only time will tell.
Wishing you a blessed week.

One thing I would suggest is do more video content if you can.
I feel like people get more rewarded for it.
Maybe share some videos of beach, cooking, your surroundings on 3speak.
Lastly, I would say, we can only focus on what we can control.
So, I always focus on creating content consistently.
Whatever content people find useful, they reward me.
I hope you get better better rewards in the future.
Have a wonderful day.
Thank you @looftee for the advise. Will see about the videos. 😁 Thank you for the good wishes.
Blessings.
Well hopefully you will find the place you are looking for! Keep doing what you are doing!
Thank you I will. Blessings.
