Hello, Hive community! 🐝
If you're new here or have been around for a while but feel like your vote "doesn't make a difference," this post is for you. On Hive, not all votes are created equal, and the key to this can be summed up in two words: Hive Power (HP).
Today I want to share with you the best strategies to grow your account and have a real impact on the ecosystem.
- What is Hive Power and why does it matter?
Hive Power is the fuel for your account. The more HP you have:
Your vote is worth more: You reward the authors you like better.
You earn more curation: You receive a share of the rewards from the posts you vote on.
You have more Resource Credits (RC): You can post and comment more often without restrictions.
- Strategies to Gain More Voting Power
🟢 The Famous "Power Up"
This is the most direct way. It consists of converting your HIVE tokens (liquids) into Hive Power. It's like putting your savings to work.
Tip: Participate in #HivePUD (Hive Power Up Day) on the first of each month to earn badges and visibility.
🟢 Set Your Posts to 100% Hive Power
When you post, you have the option to choose how to receive your rewards. If you select "Power Up 100%," everything you earn will automatically be converted into HP, accelerating your growth without you having to do it manually.
🟢 Smart Curation
Don't vote just for the sake of voting. If you vote for quality content early (before it goes viral), your curation rewards will be higher. These rewards are paid in HP, which organically increases your power.
🟢 Comment and be active
We often underestimate comments, but a good comment can receive valuable votes. On Hive, interaction is the foundation of growth. Build relationships!
- Delegations: The extra boost
If you have friends or communities that trust your content, they can delegate HP to you. This doesn't take their money, but they "lend" you their voting power temporarily so you can grow faster.
My Personal Goal 📈
I currently have [Insert your current HP] of Hive Power, and my goal for next month is to reach [Insert your goal]. I firmly believe that reinvesting in the platform is the best way to secure our future here.
And you? What strategy do you use to increase your HP? Let me know in the comments!
