After joining hive, the most probable question people ask is how do I earn on this platform? Of course, what takes our time should have a way to pay something back to is even if its not as much as we sacrificed. We will be looking at some ways you can earn on hive as a newbie;
Creating a post
The first way to earn on hive is by creating a post of your own. You share information about a particular topic/concept on hive which will be seen by fellow hivers, if they appreciate or like what you post, they can upvote your post at their own will. Do not request for upvote from any hiver as it is against the rule guiding this platform.
It is very important for newbies to know that the number of people that upvote you does not determine how high your reward will be. The Hive Power of the person that upvote your post matters and the percentage of upvote given to your post. If @theycallmedan upvotes this post by 50%, it will give it more reward than me upvoting it by 100% because he has more HP than I do.
The image above shows the upvote bottom as well as downvote botton.
Comment
Hivers earn through comment also. When you commented on a post and the owner of the post see the need to appreciate your comment, he/she can decide yo upvote it which will later yield a reward.
Contest
Participating in contest is one of the ways to earn on hive, mostly liquid hive or sometimes Hive Power delegation. Some reward their contestants with upvote, this is usually done by the whales. Examples of contest organized on hive include, writing contest, art contest, photography contest and so on.
Upvoting
You earn the curation reward when you upvote another person's post on hive while you earn author reward when you upvote your own post.

Thanks for that little grain of sand that contributes to a better understanding for new users @sirpee6
That's why we are here. To help each other.
Nice presentation and explanation of how to earn on Hive @sirpee6. You did a good job on it. I think you were trying to say upvote button and downvote button. That's the only thing I saw. Otherwise good job.
Have a great day.
I misspell button as botton. That's typo error.
