Previously I was doing fortnightly updates - for the most recent check out my 14 weeks on Hive post:
@tdctunes/14-weeks-on-hive-update-on-the-roller-coaster
I've been on Hive 4 months now... and it's a fresh new year too! So a great time to take stock of my current financial and general Hive position and make some goals for the next month and the rest of the year!
Finances Update
So as you'll see below - my Hive Power is enjoying steady growth due to keeping up posting, commenting and participating in power up days and power up months.
My weekly earnings are down quite a bit - I think for 3 main reasons:
- As of new year I'm taking a break from actually playing Rising Star in order to really fully focus on some music projects. Still love the game and am holding a lot of cards and Starbits!
- Post rewards are down quite a bit - December was a light month for me in posting terms as there was a lot going on early December and then I took a bit of a break over the holiday period.
- Several of the sources that generate 2nd layer tokens are less valuable in Hive terms because the Hive price has remained high and they haven't increased to match. I suspect the decrease isn't much if I measured it in dollars (but I won't do that because I think it's good to think in Hive!)
Hive Holdings
| 9 December | 7 January | |
|---|---|---|
| Hive Power | 5619 | 5814 |
| HBD | 67.4 | 97.6 |
Earnings - per week (in Hive)
Notes:
1 My source for this (HiveStats) is currently showing zero, though I suspect there may be a bug.
2 Estimate of income from various drips for holding 2nd layer tokens - drips that drip Hive only for now: Sim holding rewards, Utopis holding payouts and Archon Drips.
Goals Update
From last time my goals were:
Post another update in January!
Here it is!Reach 50,000 fans on Rising star.
I'm at 49,228 so good enough!Put my Traveller's Path art up for sale on NFT Showroom. This is done - and here it is: https://nftshowroom.com/tdctunes/gallery/tdctunes_tdc-tunes-art_travellers-path
Write an in depth Blog post that isn't primarily about my music.
I've done a couple, including this one about resolutions, non resolutions and #hivePUD and #hivePUM:
@tdctunes/what-are-your-non-resolutions-for-2022-and-are-you-taking-part-in-power-up-day
And I have at least one more non music blog post on the way in the next week!Participate in Hive Power Up Month in January!
Yep - started this - lets see if I can complete it! Want to know more about power up day and power up month? Check this post: @hivebuzz/pud-202201
Next Goals for January
- Complete Hive Power Up Month for January 2022 - posting with 100% HP rewards and/or powering up at least 1HP every day!
- Run a giveaway (on Hive). I have a couple of ideas here - time to put one of them into action!
- Make some improvements to my completely passive income sources. I have a LOT of music projects I want to get done so I want to focus on increasing any completely passive income I can to cut out some distractions. (NB: I'll still be posting and commenting and engaging as much though - if not more - more about avoiding distractions in a post soon!)
- Post another update in February
Goals for 2022
I'm reluctant to put anything too hard here as the past few months have taught me that things change so these are very much goals that would be nice to get to in 2022, rather than absolutes:
- Increase my Hive Power to 10,000HP
- Increase my followers to 250
- Weekly earnings of 100 Hive
Thanks and Shoutouts
Huge shoutout to who is an awesome electronic musician and is super prolific at pumping out great quality music - almost on a daily basis! This stuff is right up my street!
Thanks once again to
and
for all the power up days, power up month and general gamification/rewards which have been great to take part in and have really helped me to grow my account - as can be seen by the steady increase of my Hive Power! You guys rock!
And finally one to watch out for - the mysterious seem to be growing in number...
Will they be taking over the music scene on Hive?! We will see!
Thanks loads for reading my update - would love to hear if you have any goals for January or for 2022?
Have a great day Hive!
