New to Hive, What do I do?
Over the past 2-3 weeks I have taken an interest in the HIVE Blockchain. And I must admit at first I was unsure of how it worked.... however I knew something was going on due to the amount of members content constantly being added.
Much of the content I was unsure of what it was about, I could see posts from others about daily challenges, being a whale, power ups, HP, RC's votes and rewards etc... and that was just to name a few things, There is also so much more.
It was at that point I found this a little overwhelming and too much to take in and I almost gave up and dropped it, but i never.... I kept checking back from time to time & then after about a week it started to click with me.
Don't get me wrong I am still learning stuff about it now, however I get it... I can see what it is, What creators are doing and not the potential of where it could go, but actually where it IS going!
The Hive Blockchain has various areas to it which is also why when I first came into it, i found it a little overwhelming. You have a blogging platform, community areas, A video upload platform, wallet, engine area for your digital assets and loads more.
Members are constantly earning from content and engagement, This is happening in such a special way because the more you engage and create with the community, the more your rating increases, and the higher your rating the even more you can be earning! You are part of something.. part of a community that is there to help you grow with them!
There will come a time where you will wish you joined this amazing community earlier.. Heck I wish i did... I have only been here 3 weeks!
So my advice to any newbies here is that you NEED to jump aboard Hive and take your time with it... Read as much content on CTPTalk.com as you can.. Even if you don't understand it, because over time the dots will start to join together.
You must also Hook up with the new CTP Training portal, follow the training videos, Attend the awesome CTP webinars, Hookup with the group on Telegram, and engage, Ask your questions! You will always find help from a member.
I hope you enjoyed this post, Everyday I can see more and more people joining the Hive chain, its only going to be a matter of time :)

As an "older" member (not so old... lol) I like to see these kinds of posts... The view from new members about this place! Personally, I have forgotten how it was when I have started and it's important to get feedback from current newcomers...
I know that some things are simplified today (imagine how it was earlier...:) ), but it is still a bit overwhelming as you said... So, take your time and absorb information slowly...
We have built a really supportive community on CTPTalk, with Discord and Telegram groups where everyone can get info from the first hand, question responses and help... ;)
Cheers!

This is Awesome Content, and it will be manually curated with an upvote of 65% from @thisisawesome (will be done today), and it will also be included in our Awesome Daily Curation report in category Awesome CTP Curation for more visibility.
The goal of this project is to "highlight Awesome Content, and growing the Hive ecosystem and the CTPtalk tribe by rewarding it".

It sure is very supportive :)
A good way to begin is by upvoting and commenting on good content. Curation is as good as creation, although doing both is even better.
Yes that is a very good starting point. I was actually doing this to begin with.
Thanks for giving us your perspective as some one brand new.
You have been included in today's "I Am Engaged" challenge which I will post in a few minutes. Watch for it @slackerman
Thankyou @slackerman I will check it out! :)
You definitely have it right. I am so glad you didn't give up. It is very confusing. You just have to keep picking away at it and don't be afraid to ask questions.@clicktrackprofit has an awesome group of people who are always willing to help. Glad you are aboard.
There is a huge learning curve when you come to the blockchain to know how everything work, I am still learning a lot myself and its been close to a year for me. Just keep doing what you are doing and you will be totally addicted. The community here is so much more engaging then you will find on any social media.
Yea for sure! i'm addicted already lol
