Hive And Snowballing Your Account Growth
Everyday you are active your snowball is growing.
Yesterday evening I was looking at an old post I had written 3 years ago about account growth and thought I would share some thoughts. Starting out on Hive you have these visions of becoming a success which is all great, but it takes tons of effort and more importantly time.
Let me shares some figures and this is more for the newer accounts on how the compounding and snow balling effect happens. I am still blown away by how your account grows just by what you just do.
The first 6 months on Hive I was busy as the idea of mass adoption was propelling me to do more every day. The idea I would be swamped and lost to the world was very real so the fear factor of missing out was genuine. One has to understand when I joined this was at the end of the last bull cycle when things were calming down yet there were literally 10's of thousands of users clambering for their share of the rewards pool. Fun times but also rather daunting for someone brand new and out of their comfort zone.
The first 6 months starting from 0 the account grew to 320 Hive which is an average of 50 Hive per week. This with putting in an excess of 8 hours daily commenting on posts. I was like a mini @taskmaster4450le showing up everywhere reading and commenting.
The next 6 months there was big growth as there was a new app called Musing which had some decent rewards and that helped grow my account to a gigantic 3200 Hive after 12 months. This may sound like a shortcut but believe me I worked my behind off as that was seriously like a hard labor camp. Others who were involved in that app know exactly what I mean as it was an opportunity to grow and earn. Musings disappeared as the delegation they were receiving was removed which was the right call.
The 3200 HP was the foundation and to be honest was chuffed and proud to bits with this amount. The following year the account did a 5 x growing to around 16K HP. I know this as that was the airdrop I received when Hive was born from the hardfork almost two years ago. Since then the account has done a 2 x as I sold the other blockchains coins and bought them onto Hive.
Just by turning up and being consistent each and every day the opportunities on Hive are endless. A new account joining today can do a similar growth if they are committed to doing just that. One has to realise with the tribes now available the growth factor that is now available has increased the growth factor massively. Earning Hive and a few other tokens is like doubling your rewards which was not available back when I joined.
There are no shortcuts required to grow as the compounding and snow ball effect will do that for you. The bigger your account becomes the more obvious this will be. Don't become frustrated as the growth is happening but maybe you are not noticing it. Just give it time and give yourself a chance as growth will happen. Remember everyone grows at different pace so never compare yourself against others.
