RE: Hive-Naija Weekend Engagement #36 - "Hive Struggles"

Wooow 💞💞💞💞 yaaaay, a big shout out to @samostically for this beautiful week again, he has taken it upon himself to bring the nigerian families together all in one accord, you deserve some accolades and to every supporter of this weekly engagement, a big shout out to you all and welldone...

Back to the topic of engagement for this week, let' head down for my experience..

WHAT ARE MY PAST OR CURRENT HIVE STRUGGLES????

On joining the hive platform about 5 months ago, life was very hard for me as a newbie which is not new as i need to build up myself before i could be strong enough, it was tough but i believed it would all be over soon until i saw the worst of it all...

The first two months i spent on the hive platform were hellish, my onboarder told me that i have to make quality post to get oldbies attracted to my post, at first it was the vote issue but i was still of the courage that it will be well..

My past hive struggles were votes, my first month on the hive platform was just like a waste of time, no upvotes, no comment, imagine having $0 on a post you racked your brain to make, and i was dishing out quality post and even with that my post were not seen neither were there any comment and it all discouraged me...

My current hive struggles is i don't know how to use vlogg, i have made attempt to use it last week but all the problem i encountered made me loose hope and i gave up on it and continued on my blogging life...

HOW WAS I ABLE TO FIND MY WAY ON HIVE??

After experiencing several heartbreaks from my first month, i decided to do things differently and see if it would change and that was when i started joining different communities and then i planed my next goal which is making 10 comments a day in at least 5 communities..

That was how i started engagement on other people's post, the oldbies here, i started reading and commenting with my 0.00 vote, i was giving out and sooner or later i became a constant factor and then slowly i started getting known and the people i do visit their post now started visiting mine and that was when my glory started shining..

From engagement i started joining and getting verified in communities to participate in contests, communities like HIVE LEARNERS, NEOXIAN CITY, ECOTRAIN and they were the communities that helped me build my reputation on hive, from participating in contests and challenges i was then visited by lots of bloggers and was luckily visited by whales, it was rare but i was getting known and i was slowly finding my way...

That is to say, hivelearners, neoxian city and ecotrain and my mentor were the ones that helped me find my way on the hive platform..

WHAT COMMUNITY OR PERSON HELPED ME DURING MY LOW TIMES HERE???

Ohh i will forever be thankful to both the communities and persons that helped me in my low times on hive, when i was feeling down, heartbroken, discouraged and was about to quit my hive journey, my mentor became my strength, he was with me through thick and thin, he gave me confidence when i was without confidence, he stood by me, he delegated me with 100 hp to perform transactions of hive and even added me to his auto vote trail, helped emotionally, financially and educationally and then he introduced me to the great city that helped me build my career and that was how i was able to build my reputation on the platform..

Hive learners, Ecotrain and The great city of neoxian were the communities that helped me in my low times, they gave me the chance to participate in challenges and contest, i participated in contests and challenges and i won on several occasions and i was gifted, HPUD also helped me when i won power up delegation for a month, it gave me the ability to vote quality posts...

There is also someone who helped me apart from my onboarder, he is great man and a very special being, he helped me in building myself on the hive platform, i will like to keep his identity anonymous but he was and he is still my strength...

DO I STRUGGLE WITH SOMETHING AND NEED HELP???

Oh yeah, i struggle with just one thing and that is vlogging, i need help on how to create a threespeaks account and after trying severally last week, i am tired and i am weak and i am about to give up on vlogging, i need help and i think i will find it sooner or later..

I really appreciate @samostically once again for bringing our families together for a weekend engagement, it was nice participating in this beautiful engagement...
