The last time I did this, I made it a weekend thing which seemed to be too short to get the word out, so this time around I'm setting the deadline as the post payout.
I'm also changing things up a bit. Since the idea behind this is more to get eyes on your tweets from non-Hive community members (as in, showing the Twitterverse all the awesome content we have here on Hive), it makes more sense to have individual tweets go out, rather than grouping them all under one Tweet.
Granted, having people reply to my tweet is great for my Twitter analytics, but I'd rather see many Hive Twitter accounts get a little more attention, rather than one getting it all, if that makes sense (which it probably doesn't, since it's a Sunday morning and I'm still on my first cup of coffee...😆).
As far as what I mean by "good" tags, I'm talking about any hash tags that are not Hive-specific. So instead of #hiveisalive #posh, or the Twitter handles of Hive accounts with large voting power, try using tags that relate to the post content, like #photography #writing #video #blogging. And putting those tags in a sentence or two is even better - let people know why they should check it out!
And not that there's anything wrong with Hive-centric tags (other than potentially annoying the large account holders by blowing up their notifications), but they aren't particularly useful in trying to get the attention of those not on our blockchain.
Last thing before I get to the requirements to receive @hivetips - if you're on Twitter, and you haven't already, I highly recommend registering for the #posh bot so you can start earning some @poshtoken for your tweets. @acidyo talks a bit about the development and future plans for the #poshtoken in this post from a month ago, all of which I think is wicked cool (and I'm not just saying that because I happen to be in the top 10 for earned tokens at the moment...😂). For links and how to register, check out this post.
So with all that being said, here are the specifics to qualify for some Hive Tips on Twitter:
From now until this post pays out
- Tweet out a link to some Hive content (any front end, can be your own or someone else's post)
- Include #Hive as well as at least 2 other non Hive tags that relate to the content (like #writing, #photography, #video, etc).
- DROP THE LINK TO YOUR TWEET in the comment section so I can find it.
- Tweet as often as you like, but only ONE Hive Tip per person.
- Hive Tips will be given out throughout the week.
Many thanks to @theycallmedan for providing (and to @eddiespino for sending) the Hive I'm giving out.
Oh, and almost forgot - I'll be liking and RTing all the tweets that meet the above requirements through my personal Twitter account, as well as the HiveBlogShare Twitter account, and I might be curating a handful of them through the HiveBlogShare Hive account as well (which is trailed by the awesome peeps at @threespeak). For more info about the @hiveblogshare Twitter Curation Initiative, check out the post here.
I think that covers it. Please feel free to shout out with any questions, and...
Happy Twittering & Hiving!

I feel so left out.
Twit.. tote, what's it called? If I give you the green light to whatever it's called my content over there for me is that good enough?
Come and fellow twits in the Twitterverse. It's quite fun. You never know who you might meet...🤭
You're not inviting me to Twitter are you? I still don't know how to get to the Face one.
Whew! That was a close one.
Definitely good enough, but then that would mean that I qualified for the Hive Tip since I was the one sharing it, and I'd try to be polite and refuse the tip (self-tipping is très gauche), which I would then find insulting and it most likely ends with me not speaking to me, and my ability to tip would come to a screeching halt because I'd be so distracted from all the drama, and... and... and...
Probably just easier for you to set up a burner Twitter account, tweet out the link & tags, and get tipped. Who knows, you might even enjoy it... 😉😂
Has anyone told you lately how helpful you are?
Yeah I don't understand what you said as much as you don't understand it but I'm with you about no self tipping, self voting, self anything other than responding.
I respond to myself regularly
💖 @traciyork !
Let’s go 🚀
😁
Great stuff Traci! My reason for using Twitter is mainly to spread awareness outside of Hive. The more people who jump on this the better.
Same, Erling! While there are some people I'd miss if I left Twitter, they're also the same peeps I'm hoping to drag over here asap! 😂 I can't wait until the day I can focus all my engagement here, but in the meantime yes, the more people on Twitter and other traditional social media sites cheerleading for Hive, the better! Happy to have you aboard! 🤗
Nice one!! @theycallmedan is honestly a generous person on hive blockchain. Whenever I received a vote from his curation rewards it motivated me to do better.
Thank you to you too. I just followed the Twitter accounts mentioned in this blog of yours 😊
Let's spread the word 💪#hive ON 🥳
My tweet link 👇
Yes @mahnoor1, Dan has been extremely generous with his time and support over the years and his support has been a great motivation to me as well. 😊
And thanks for sharing your tweet - while it's close to the criteria, it's not quite there. If you could tweet again with the same link, but include at least one more non-Hive hash tag to go with #bloggingchallenge, then it would qualify for a tip. I just checked, and #goals is currently trending on Twitter, and #blog or #blogger would work for your post as well.
Appreciate the follows and I've followed you back on both accounts! 😎
Mmmm, Alright I used two tags other than hive.
Let me do it again
@mahnoor1 have you tweeted again yet? If so, be sure to drop the link here so I can find & tip it!
Alright, dear.
Here it is
Thank you 🤗
Excellent, @mahnoor1, I just dropped off a tip on your tweet!
I received!!!
Thank you so much ❤
Hope this one meets the criteria TY! Starting to share a few more blogs I post on Twitter again so here's one from today!
That's wicked awesomesauce Nicky, and oh so close to the criteria... however, I don't see #Hive in the tweet... 🤔 😂
Ooops, my bad, I hope I've rectified that with the latest LeoFinance post on Twitter now 😆
YES! That one works - just tweeted out your @hivetips via @hiveblogshare!
Oooo yayyy! TY TY! I'll follow the instructions in your tweet (hopefully I can do that better than following the instructions in the post 😂)
Right as a streamer inuse twitter as a social media platform to promote my streams andnsome crypto advice i give.
What channels on hive or advice on twitter would be in your opinion be the best to hashtag.
Thank you in advance
Hi @dadspardan!
In using your most recent post as an example ("The daily quest adventures of Daddyspardan 21/02/2021") I would say using tags like:
Non Hive specific
#gamers
#gaming
#onlinegaming
#livestream
#SupportSmallStreamers
#SmallStreamersConnect
#crypto
#blockchaingames
#cryptogaming
#rnggods
Hive specific
#Hive
#Splinterlands
And maybe search out the tags related to streamers and see if you can connect with other gamers on Twitter to expand your audience.
I posted this earlier.
Awesome, @the-bitcoin-dood but you're following @nickyhavey's bad example by forgetting to include the #Hive... 😂
Wanna give it another go and drop the link to the new tweet here?
Oops! Here it is again.🤣 Thanks
WHOO HOO! Just dropped off the tip... 😊
this was a great read, thank you for making it. I use D.Buzz and post most of the stuff on that and buzz it to twitter
Excellent, @thewarkettle - be sure to drop any tweet links here that have...
~ A link to Hive content
~ The tag #Hive
~ 2 other tags like #writing, #blog, etc
... so you qualify for a Hive Tip on Twitter! 😊
Looking through some old posts today for cooking and sharing inspiration, haha. Thanks for being your awesomesauce self as always Traci!
Also, just tweeted out your @hivetips via @hiveblogshare!
I love the new approach, Traci. Last time it also fell out of my brain. Here is a link to Sunday's post's Tweet.
And here's yesterday's. #HivePUD a little later today 😻
And, last but not least, for the moment, here's the #HivePUD announcement 😀
Triple coolness, Fiona! I just tweeted out your @hivetips via @hiveblogshare!
Got your back @traciyork thick as thieves on the Twitterverse, when adding hashtag also look for anything closely related that is trending. 🤣
You are a Twitterer-extraordinaire, @joanstewart! Pretty much anything you tweet out would qualify for a Hive Tip because you're so awesome at it. Be sure to drop a link here this week so I can make it happen. 😁
I will try to remember Traci, sharing word out really is what we need for growth.
Many bulk at the idea of looking after keys or becoming involved in crypto which is sad.
There you are 😄 I even remembered to come back....
YAY! That's awesome, @joanstewart!
Since Hive Tips isn't working at the moment (most likely Twitter doing something Twitter-ish), I sent the tip directly to your wallet from @hiveblogshare & thanks for joining in!
Thanks @traciyork keep up the good work, most times I join in wherever possible and will keep posting.
Here it is
Coolness, @ghastlygames! Slight problem though - you don't have any tags whatsoever, which is kind of the point of this... 😂
Try a new tweet, with something like...
and the post link. Then drop the new tweet here so I can find it. 😊
sorry, I´m new to this
I reposted it again. is this okay?
No worries, @ghastlygames - that's one of the reasons I'm doing this, to help people learn how to Twitter more effectively. And while I would've preferred if you'd rewritten the sentence I gave you (😂), it's definitely okay and I've just dropped off the tip on your Tweet.
Now that you know what makes a good tweet, keep it up! You never know who might find your content because of your tags. 😊
thanks, i´ll keep that in mind in the near future
Hi @traciyork. Dropping my Twitter link. 😁
Wicked coolness, @glecerioberto!
Since Hive Tips isn't working at the moment (most likely Twitter doing something Twitter-ish), I sent the tip directly to your wallet from @hiveblogshare. Thanks for joining in!
