MY 2ND HIVE BIRTHDAY | 10 ESSENTIAL TIPS FOR NEWBIES ON HIVE AND IN COMMUNITIES

Hello Lovers of Hive and lovers of creativity,
I am @ksam (Kalu Samuel)

Few days ago @hivebuzz and arcange informed me that I had clocked 2 years on the Hive Blockchain, and hivebuzz gave me a personal badge as well. I was looking forward to the day, but I couldn't remember the exact day. The reminder from Hivebuzz was apt and it brought smiles on my face.

Honestly, I appreciate hivebuzz, as well as the brains and management behind hivebuzz for the work they do on Hive. it is indeed tasking and they do their task diligently.

Yo! It's my second birthday celebration on Hive, and this post will be a special one.

I do not wish to speak about my Hive journey once again since I have already done that in my post about my "TRIAD HIVE BEGINNINGS"

_{You can read more about the post from here or you can read it from my pinned post on my blog.}

Instead of talking about my journey once more, I prefer to speak about something that will be beneficial to everyone, especially the newbies on Hive, who are still trying to understand how the system works.

Thus, this video and post will address three different things.

1. How I have benefited from Hive
2. 4 Important tips for Newbies on Hive
3. What a Newbie should do before and once he or she enters into a Community on Hive.

---

In the video above, I spoke extensively on these concerns, however, this written post will be a summary of the ideas and thoughts from the video.
