How to grow on Hive - IAAC Day 3

After two days trying to get used to be in front of the camera, I wanted to use this 3rd day's video to actually transmit a message.

Hive is more than a blogging platform

For me this seems to be very clear but I see so many users who just post one post after the other and are disapointed by the feed-back that they get. Maybe they get an upvote from a bot but their articles get very little attention from real people.
Hive is not a blogging platform, it is a social platform. In order to grow our influence and rewards, we need to interact with other people.

How to grow on Hive

To grow on Hive we need to take the first step and approach others. Everybody puts a lot of effort in creating their posts and videos and we should reward it with a comment and an upvote. The return that you get from that is maybe not immediate. However you plant a seed in someones mind that you exist. You show yourself. So when you reach out to others, you are kind of promoting yourself. You increase your chances tremendously that the author will have a look at your profile, give you an upvote or even follow you. In the best case you make a new friend that will give you an automatic upvote to your posts...

Building relations will allow you to grow financially speaking.

The I am alive challenge

I would like to mention this amazing challenge that has been created by @flaxz. There are now more than 50 people from all over the world who post about themselves using a video or a picture. It's a great way to meet new people and to interact with them. You can post in the I am alive challenge community or in any other community and make a cross post in peakd.com.
