The following video is for folks completely new to blogging on a blockchain. This is the first video within a multi-lesson video tutorial that will hopefully make your first experience of social media on a decentralized blockchain a happy one.
This first video covers:
- Creating an account (I recommend using Hive Onboard)
- Setting up your profile for success
- Initiating rewarding relationships
- Joining communities
If this first lesson proves useful to the community I plan to create 3 more covering topics like content creation on the platform, earning rewards, managing one's wallet, and using important tools.
Please provide your feedback in the comments below.
Also, if you do create a new account, please post your profile below and I'll delegate you some HP to get you started with more resource credits available to you (something you'll better understand after the wallet lesson).
If you're in the USA and want to get some crypto so you can use that method for instant startup on your laptop/desktop, the easiest way is probably to use Cash App from Square on your phone to buy your first Bitcoin straight from your checking account or credit card linked to that. It's a free app anyone can download. Not sure if it works outside the US.
If you learn best by reading, here is a useful post that covers some of the material in writing.
Spanish speakers/readers see this Spanish training post.
(I'm also getting a Spanish transcript for this video created, so stay tuned Spanish-as-first-language community!)

Thanks
This is an amazing job. We will feature it on our Twitter! Love this tutorial, and look forward to more of your content!
Thanks! I'll come out with lesson 2 on Monday. Will ping you on Twitter.
Excellent😃
well done @indigoocean this is a really great tutorial, so easy to follow and you definitely have the voice for this xxx
Thanks, dear one. It took a lot of effort to get myself focused enough to make training videos again, but hopefully now they'll flow a bit more easily.
Wonderful tutorial!😀
Thanks, dear one.
great to hear your voice! sorry it took me so long to check this out X-D
Thanks for dropping by.
Oh wow, this was such an amazing tutorial, thank you for the feature, looking forward to more :)
I was happy to stumble upon such a great step-by-step post from you! Great example for folks on what a good post is like.
Great post! Very useful for the newcomers. Thanks for your effort for the community!
Thank you!
Thats a really good tutorial ! Cheers for taking your time to make it
Glad you liked it. If you have friends/family you've wanted to get on here, maybe share this with them so it isn't so intimidating to start. Cheers.
You did an awesome job putting this together!
Thank you. It took a bit of effort to get myself to start, because the software I use had a major update, forcing me to pretty much relearn it before I could use it again. But once I got going it started flowing. Watch for the next one in a few days.
Yes, there is nothing worst then having to re-learn software after an update. You did great! I'll watch for the next one.
Thanks for this tutorial @indigoocean
ps. did you see price of hive today? what a dump ....
Glad you find it helpful and looking forward to the Spanish translation.
Price of Hive doesn't really matter to me except on days I'm buying. Have to wait for my next STEEM power down to be able to buy more so not paying attention just now. Crypto is always volatile and price wars between STEEM and HIVE are going to make both even more volatile for a few months. Just pay attention on the days you can actually do something.
Thoroughly detailed and to the point. I’ll have to look into this.
I am brand new to Hive and was still a little confused about how it worked until I watched these videos. Really well put together and super clear about where to start on PeakD. Thank you for the time you put into making these!
Awesome! new to Hive!
so so useful. I find I learn better with video tutorials, so thank you. getting to your other lessons very soon:)
I must say watching your videos before my first post really helped me grow fast on the HIVE blockchain.
Thank you.
