If one thing Lord Varys from Game of Thrones could teach us, it would be this - Knowledge Is Power. Also, Tyrion Lannister, the little man who cast a big shadow in the show. He used to talk about reading books to gain knowledge. Mind was his power and the information it holds.

Since the time I joined this place, I was looking for the answer to this question - How to achieve a powerful position on the platform? If you are someone who's new to this platform, this post might help.


When it comes to making decisions on Hive, data helps! Prediction of the outcome becomes easier to find. Sometimes you still mess it up but the probability of doing that is low when you perform well-planned research & execution. It is done by extensive Information Gathering. When you learn something new, it releases 'Dopamine - The Happy Hormone' in your brain. You can reward yourself in a way by acquiring more knowledge. Now it's up to you how you want to use this power! I'd suggest, 'do great things'.

Through this blog, I am sharing my experience with all of you on how I built my influence on Hive in 3 months through constant learning.

Why am I doing this? Because I want you to set your expectations before you start getting serious about this place. Also, the more knowledge I share, the more powerful I get. Haha! Let's start:

One thing I learned quickly is that if I want to see an iota of success on this platform, I need to POWER it up. All of it! STAKE! STAKE! STAKE! That's what I have been doing. Apart from a few 'sells' here and there to buy other Tokens, I am mostly staking all of what I get through content creation. Since I am most active on Leo Finance, I am buying more LEO and Dividend Tokens from my own money to compound the earnings. I will keep building like this for at least one year, maybe 2-3 years, who knows! This will help me attain a position to play this game for long. This mindset required if you want to have a major influence on the platform.

If you grant me one superpower, I will ask for 'hyperspeed typing'. This platform lacks the level of activity other social media websites generate on daily basis. If you think that we are too small, then we are not. We have around 15000 accounts transacting on daily basis. Apart from this number, there are many more who are reading/watching content without interacting with the blockchain. It takes 2-3 mins max, to do a comment. Collectively we have more than the ability to generate 300000 comments in one hour. Engagement is highly rewarding. It gives you upvotes, followers, and more engagement. Win-win-win for everyone! I have hit 4th place 3 weeks in a row as per Leo Finance Engagement report by @abh12345. My follower count is 103 now. Just imagine how much you can do by commenting. It's great!

Why and how something happens will answer most of your queries. If you put me in a room full of people, I will be the one who would ask a lot of questions. Do this and you will get to learn so much from everyone's experience. What you gain from it is invaluable since one person cannot do all the mistakes. You need to learn from other's struggles. This way you will also engage more in the community. And here, everyone is so chill. At least most of them. ๐Ÿ˜œ You will get your answers on comments while boosting the engagement on the platform. I learned a lot about DeFi by simply asking questions to different people in their comment sections.

There is a follow growth hack! When you read someone's post or comment, and you follow them. Do let them know that you did in a follow-up comment. Most of the time they follow back. ๐Ÿคž It works 99% of the time. Use this trick with caution. Do not overdo it! Don't explicitly ask them to follow you because that might come out as rude. Don't do it to grow your followers but to grow the group of people you would like to interact with. Having such people along with you on the journey helps!

Not many people know about Hive. This is the right time to shine inside the community by providing value wherever needed. For example, I create presentations instead of showcasing my content only through text. While publishing regular blogs, I try to notch them up with graphics. This makes the reader or viewer feel good and that's my endgame. I saw there is a gap in the engagement level of the platform so I took the initiative to comment as much as possible on daily basis. I have a target to hit at least 500 comments each week. Combine different USPs and create a unique brand for yourself.

During my initial days, I found it really hard to make my content visible. It was Twitter that helped me to get those initial eyeballs. Hive Community is so active on the platform and that's crazy. People tweet using #hive or #leofinance tags on a daily basis and that's how you can discover each other. I have also made some amazing friends by simply engaging with them on their tweets and shilling Hive. If you are someone who is interested in topics like Crypto and Blockchain, then Twitter offers a free-flowing experience to learn.

Crypto space is so dynamic and fast-paced that one must find it difficult to keep up. In order to be on top of things, you need to know things. Knowledge is the ultimate power that can take you far. I want to request all newcomers to concentrate on learning this ecosystem first and then put their all in to get maximum results. Building influence is a journey that takes time as all great things do. One must not shy away from learning new things! Your power to assert and analyze situations would get better and it will boost your overall confidence.

I hope you guys have learned a few good things from my experience. Please let me know if you have something of this sort to share with me and make me more POWERFUL. I feed on information. ;)
