I will be sharing my experience here because I also worked hard to grow here. There are some tips which any beginner can follow to grow a bit faster
Engagement is something which is really important here. If you think that you will just come, post and go away, you might get some votes but you can't grow up.
Make new friends, discover it. Just don't stick to a few things. Hive is a whole new world and the more you will explore the more you will find.
There are different discord servers to join where you can find more about some popular communities and also there are some tribal communities which help you in your growth on hive. I will recommend every new user to join new discord servers.
Always read other people posts and do comments, also reply to those comments which people make on your posts because this will help you in making more relationships here on hive.
These were some words from my side.
