On June 7th, I celebrated my 4th anniversary since I started in this Hive universe, and it's undoubtedly been a journey of learning and experiences. I remember the first time I heard about this platform, I didn't understand the entire dynamics, and I was somewhat skeptical about whether one could really monetize their own content. But it took me a few months to get the courage to venture into this platform. I remember that my wife was the first to start, and then the following month I would publish my first post on this medium.
During all this time, I've been able to further develop my skills with certain tools, as well as focus on writing a little more, or at least doing so more frequently through my photography. From that point on, I've also established a routine of taking many more photographs. I used to post forums very occasionally, but now I do it practically daily, because there are always stories or things to tell or show through this visual world.
On the other hand, Hive has served as a means for me to meet many people from different countries, as well as to appreciate this great world through the many photographers who capture every aspect of their surroundings. While I've also been able to encourage many acquaintances to make a living on Hive, I've had to teach them how to use this platform. Although many of those people didn't continue, I'm partly proud of those who are still here. They've been involved in many ways, both as a means of expression and as a way to monetize their own content. Who could have imagined it? More than 10 years ago, blogs like Hive didn't exist, where your content is monetized almost instantly.
Therefore, I hope to continue on this platform for much longer, as well as to learn more every day about the many tools that enable better interaction and dynamism among all of us who work in this field.
All photographs are my own.
