# My Beginnings at HIVE

Hey hivers! Here is my beginning at hive and interesting story of this beginning. How did I come here? From where I started posting? My first post and response from the hive community. ![img_0.320860422582113.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWZ3tX3dnMh3b2jG4MJzxw2fyxP3JaUq1f57FB93Zckwb/img_0.320860422582113.jpg) _{Image made by} ^{[Canva](canva.com)} ## How did I come at HIVE?

I am a teenager and I want to become independent, and we know that this is the era of crypto. And everyone is getting interested in the crypto in order to make profits. ![img_0.3943022107770891.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRdP9ZpSpv6EFKAzBYEDb6s2LVzJRrHqKD6DVXM8fKnTx/img_0.3943022107770891.jpg) > Screenshot from binance.com So I joined the trading of crypto currencies and started doing it. One day I saw the **Hive coin** in the exchange and it was pumping hard. So I did some research on it and when I checked it on Coinmarketcap, I got access to the Hive Blockchain. When I read the documents and saw different dApps on the hive blockchain I came to know that I can earn Hives by monetising my content on the hive Blockchain. So without wasting my time I made my account on the Hive Blockchain, then I saw different options to use it. Then I searched about those apps. And I found **ecency** more beneficial as it was giving some points for each activity and then by using these points I could boost and promote my posts and can earn some hives. ## My First Post

So after completing my post when I clicked on **Publish**, then I was unable to publish and it was showing me **low resource credits**. So I became worried and I didn't know about this problem. ## First Delegation

As I was facing this problem of low resource credits, I opened posts of the main account of the ecency and there I got discord serverSo I found the discord server of ecency. And I discussed this problem there that I am unable to publish a post. A kind lady melinda010100 replied that it requires hive power (HP) to perform any transaction in the hive blockchain. ![img_0.4306237881450244.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPzey66bYvbabuCmc9T5ckmHaysAShNudLcGCz6eAwYeV/img_0.4306237881450244.jpg) > screenshot from hiveblocks But I didn't have HP so I requested her to give me some HP so that I can publish my post. So she delegated me 25 HP and from this I performed my first post. ## My Joining of @theterminal

I was looking at different posts of newbies and there i got the link of theterminal discord server. I joined that, and people were commenting on my introduction post. I was replying to them also due to this my resources credits again became low. And I discuss this problem there. @thekittygirl delegated me 20 HP and again I was commenting and replying to others. Then I met @pravesh0 and he became my friend and his one post went viral and he was receiving good votes. I asked him for the party, he laughed and then he said that he had delegated me 20 HP as party. So I accepted that party offer. And then I was using the delegated HP gotten from these kind hivers. ## My Entry to Leofinance as a #Newlion

I had a little knowings of crypto and I joined Leofinance and I posted my first post as a #newlion, the community gave me warm welcome. ## Foodies Posts

![img_0.0020396507713292635.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmcZpiGPAU6i2eEHksuKn2AnkWJDtbZ4WYjvnXQ3AyVenk/img_0.0020396507713292635.jpg) > screenshot from ecency.com Then I wanted to publish some foodies posts. So I found a foodies bee hive community in which I started posting my food related posts. But firstly I posted my dates post in gems because I didn't know about the foodies bee hive community. I wrote **HIVE** with the help of dates and published it. Then I provided different dishes. ## Contest Winnings

![img_0.36965846816670933.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmStpxqndK334ZqstPYpZBLSuj7wkonsBXkeG6roFiiVxH/img_0.36965846816670933.jpg) > screenshot from ecency.com Then I saw the shadow hunters community and the contest of shadow hunting. So I joined that contest. It was my first contest and I won that contest. And due to the win of this contest I received ecency points and 1 HBD, I became very happy and soon I will join this contest again. ## First Payout

![img_0.7079113864274703.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTuuvA3dCf3NSQnWy5sjfWugqNoG1SFnZ1WuJefqZvMgk/img_0.7079113864274703.jpg) > screenshot from hiveblocks So finally after 7 days I received my first payout in the firm of HBDs and some hive power. Now my hive power had increased and I was able to perform more transactions. ## My difficulties in the beginning

As I was a newcomer to this platform, I was facing different problems. Especially by writing different posts on a daily basis. I was having problems providing different content on a daily basis. But this problem was solved with the help of @wesphilbin from theterminal who provided me a list of different topics which I can provide here. Then the next problem was low resource credits as I have mentioned earlier. Due to this problem I was using these resource credits with great care. I was doing a few comments as well as I was fearing to reply to those comments which were on my posts. But by the time I have understood these things and I managed properly as these resources get recharged. The other major problem was the **engagement problem**, I didn't know how I could get followers and viewers on my posts. Because I was seeing others posts that they were getting many comments and voted but I was not getting such a response. Then I got guidance from the discord servers, that I should make friends here and then I should follow them and engage them at their publications. So I started engaging with them by commenting and voting their posts. Then I was also getting traffic on my posts who were supporting my content and giving me feedback as well as following me. But still I am trying to engage with others to get a response back. And I need a lot more guidance to add quality to the Hive Blockchain. *** So it was my beginning and now my account is 17 days old and I think I am going well. As slow and steady wins the race. *** I am inviting @weone, @jasonmunapasee, and @flipflopcrypto to join this wonderful challenge.
