Hello guys, my gracious greetings to everyone, as its always my habit to exress my self out, my earnest desires being to see hive thrive and gain popularity around me, my friends, family and loved ones, cut across my region, i see hive as a tool to liberate many into a world of creativity and self expression, from day one i had believed in this projects called hive and its always a pleasure to share some helpful tips and insight about my personal discoveries and help others grow especially newbies coming onboard.
Thats why when the #inleoreferral program phase2 kicked off, i was more than excited to grab the opportunity, i tell most newbie that hive is a breeding ground for creativity its a hub that brood your inner most best out, gradually by being consistent to grow and harness every opportunity on the chain, i can boost of my personal growth on hive, how hive has moulded the way i write and speak, it has really helped me enhance my public speaking abilities and writing skills as well, talking of opportunities there are too numerous ways to mention, so if one wishes to make the very best of these opportunities is to jump on it and grow on all fronts.
How ever i have observed that some newbies finding it hard to stay on board, and build consistency mostly because of first what was promised them at the begining making them fixed their gaze on the rewards, rather than look on the brightside of the picture where they get to become a better version of themselves if they choose to stick around, so if they create few content and didn't get a compensating rewards at the end of the day, they will back off.
Few days ago a friend asked me how some folks do manage to get upvoted with higher upvotes almost immediately after posting, i told him its simple and being four years on hive i have understood atleast to a certain level how the system works.
I'm going to outline some key points and ways to get easily upvoted on hive and how to easily promote your visibility ad without feeling discouraged.
DISCOVER YOUR NICHE
Most newbie do make this mistake to randomly joing any community and not understanding what values drive that community, that's why 
At first one key fact to note is to subscribe to a community that has your interest, i encourage a lot of newbie to first explore their niche, or areas of interest, that way its easy to get ideas and create content that you can flow with ease when writing.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Most communities on hive thrive on this ground, to get members active and running, this is done by creating weekly or Daily contest with nice simple topics to write on, this serves as a writing prompts or suggestions, Creative ideas to help you out, by so doing, its easy to get curated plus a chance to get curated by leo voter if they post into that community through inleo frontend.

Actively Participating on Short Content
The best ways to grow your account as a newbie on hive is to participate actively on the various hive short content creation hosted by some of the best frontends like.
#Threads by
(Similar to X)
#Waves by @Ecency
#Snap by @PeakD
#moments by...
By actively engaging on these short content creation, its becomes so easy to gain visibility, thereby getting higher chances to be upvoted, i do encourage a lot og newbies to start here, the beauty of this that it prompts you to write, but not only that, you also get upvotes by put up no matter how short it is, if you don't really have the leisure of time to creatr longform content.
IN A NUTSHELL
ABOVE ALL for staters on hive building consistency is key, build engagement, by commenting, replying, interacting and digesting the content created by other authors on hive, this helps you as a newbie to understand the perspective, and writing style of the author which helps you to flow in similar direction....
LASTLY Build interest, most newbie will likely go off, if they don't get rewarded on their content, its normal to feel discourage which is why i encourage newbie to start by what interest they have and find it easy to write about if given a topic on it.
