Hello Hive

Ever since I joined hive for over two years now I can't believe how well I have grown and learnt alot about how to invest.

here

I must confess that i had no serious knowledge about how to grow money and my only thought has been to get some good jobs that can provide enough resources to meet my needs.
If that is your thinking right now then there is no plans for financial freedom and you are prepared to spend your old age on some peanuts called pension from whatever job you are doing.

For my first year on hive, every incoming votes and finances then was spent, because there was always a need to be meet and instead of growing my stake I felt that the then steem will always be there to supply, I was totally wrong.

Let me clear this air straight, its not easy for every newbie on hive who sees this as a make money quick platform.

Hive is a fertile soil and sometimes you need to plant some seeds yourself rather than wait for someone to plant for you here.

Most newbies join hive with a prayer of luck that they might possible find a whale that will support their work and every post, sometimes you are lucky but when reverse is the case it is really challenging.

I had that challenge at first and felt that I have no need of anyone here since I was lucky to have someone drop by to give me some nice upvote.

But am grateful today that there has been a serious turnaround, When some period of dryness came and those automatic upvotes were cut off and I have to sit back to relearn all over again.

That was simply when I realized hive is more of a social media as well, and you have to get interactive with everyone.

During these periods I began to surf around and made some cool friends, and this time they were interested in me as well, I was thought how to invest on Leofinance, Needleworkmonday supported my fashion career nicely and I have so many other friends on ladiesofhive that make me feel at home

At this stage, I learnt how to invest.

Invest first
Live off the interest of your investment and not the capital.

My eyes were opened to these, I learnt how to save my hive earnings and only live on the interest from some lucky trades I make.

Leaving my hive earnings makes me see the numbers grow up real quick and I wish this keeps going and possible if I got some external source of finances as well, this is a good platform I can keep my savings.

A newbie might need to get engage around here first and the whole lots, guides and principles of how to write a quality blog post if posting is your choice.

You might as well see how to invest by staking hive.
And unless you have a well grown account, living on your earning right away wont give you a real time growth here.

There are so many investment strategies on hive.

• Stake HP and earn daily.
• Hive gaming
• Blogging
• Curation

And lots of others.

I never knew I could possibly survive without a job and even though am still at the growing phase for my stakes am still thriving and living off some lucky trades.

The market can be so unpredictable but if you are in for a long run, you can always jump in and out at the right timing.
