Hi newbies and oldies... I hope we are all good and I also hope we are doing our best to stay relevant in the ecosystem.

When I joined hive, the information I received was overwhelming. It was so complex and I didn't know a lot of things Then I met a few hivers who gave me ideas on what to do.

Now, Hive happens to have a lot of tools that can help with your growth and using these tools can help speed up your growth on the platform.

These tools not only help with growth, but they also help with acquaintance and engagement on the platform.

In today’s post, I will be talking about different tools that can help your journey on hive.

I hope you enjoy the read and you effect changes that can smoothen your journey.

Shall we?

1. Discord

The first on the list is Discord. The reason why discord is the first on my list is that engagement is the best form of growth on the hive blockchain.

Discord is a chatting application like WhatsApp or telegram.
The thing about discord is that most crypto communities are on discord and also, all the hive communities are on discord.

Also, some applications are built on discord that does a variety of stuff with just one click.

2. Twitter

Having a presence on the Twitter hive community has proven to be beneficial to the growth of people on hive. Using the hashtags #hive and #posh when you post, helps you with a lot of attention on your post. Engaging with other hivers on Twitter also helps you to gain attention on the hive platform.

hivechat on Twitter is also a great way of meeting and engaging with top old hivers.

3. Hivebuzz.me

Hivebuzz is a very useful tool in helping you track your blogging progress. Hivebuzz.me shows the rank of everyone on the hive blockchain. You can get a lot of information from hive buzz.me and I mean a whole lot.

If you are going to grow on hive, you need to study a lot of patterns from those who are topping on the blockchain.

Give it a try and you will understand a lot of things. You can see the number of posts you have made since you started your journey. You can also calculate your posting to commenting ratio and compare it to successful hivers and adjust yours accordingly.

4. Hivestats.io

Hivestats.io is similar to hivebuzz.me but this helps monitor financial progress on the blockchain.. You can see if you are progressing if you are stagnant or you are regressing. It also shows rewards on the hive engine. You can see your rewards for the next 7 days in USD. The website also shows you your financial progress in the last 30 days. You can also look at the progress of other people and compare them with yours and see what you can adjust to maximize your rewards. You can also see the price feed of hive, hive back dollars, Leo and cub from coingecko on hivestats.io.

5. Ginabot

Ginabot is a notification bot on discord that is connected to the hive blockchain. As you grow on the hive blockchain, certain authors or tags might interest you either for content, rewards or update.
Using ginabot can help you with notifications that will help you keep track of such authors or tags. Some of the features of ginabot include;

• Notifications of comments you are interested in both on your post and other peoples post
