RE: What are the different ways to earn Hive?

Superb post! I'm enjoying the gradual exploration of all of these things, so it is terrific to see them laid out in one place (and I know, there are more...)
So far, I'm a posting, commenting, and gaming kind of Hivian. These are the things that I am most comfortable doing.
Posting - I love creating content. I still have not quite figured out if I prefer using hive as a candid diary or as a 'proper' blog on specific topics/genres/niches.
Commenting - I really enjoy the contact with other people from often very different walks of life. This feels like an almost infinite delight.
Gaming - I am seriously getting into Splinterlands and it really is quite merrily absorbing and brain-teasing. Exode is also something that looks right up my street but I will wait until payday to join in :-) As a former game developer in my early life I still have not quite buried my desire to realise some of my unborn games. I'm watching blockchain game dev very closely now to see if this is the format that I might like to develop in at some point.
The whole finance and tech side of Hive fascinates me. I just have not quite got my head around it all yet. Leo looks fascinating. But I have yet to open a proper exchange trading account to buy and sell and there are seemingly a bewildering array of ways to do it. My usual gambit is to copy what somebody that I know and trust has already done. :-)
I like the idea of people being able to buy my stuff using Hive, but I'd have to (so far) switch to using WooCommerce (which I suppose I could do).
I'm waiting for @Actifit to integrate with Strava, smart watches like my Garmin, etc. The basic sensors in Actifit are OKish but they seem to miss a lot of activity for me. Also the app is quite power-draining. So it would be superb if it could accept even just my Strava activity. That one change alone would open @Actifit up to compatibility with a host of devices.
So thanks for this great post :-) Sparked a lot of thoughts and reflections from me.
Hey cheers,
In terms of posting you can always do both, on two accounts if necessary.
It's worth exploring all the avenues certainly, and if you did want to get a game up and running, Hive would be a good candidate - eXode is a risky investment, but it dow look very interesting and potentially a lot of fun, the cards are nice.
Splinterlands is not unlike Poker once you get into it and see the same opponents every now and then!
I tend to rely on Bittrex as my main exchange, works fine!
There are two areas of blockchain/Hive that I'm not sure about in terms of ethics and etiquette.
Should I separate out some of my activities rather than have quite a diverse range of things on just the one account? My posts will range from gaming video let's plays, to beekeeping, to writing, to photography, to personal development, to fitness, to sociology, to game development, to business and marketing, to short narrative video and film, to medieval literature and history, to RPGs, to science fiction, to daily blogging and vlogging like a diary... etc. I'm still figuring out what the consequences might be of putting everything out on this account or separating some interests into separate accounts (business and finance; game dev and gaming and RPG; sociology and culture; personal development and daily blogging/vlogging). and then, is it OK to reblog content from one of my accounts on another account if I think it's relevant? Or would that just look like self-promotion rather than careful curation?
Then, there's how I use content. Is there an unwritten expectation about say, if I post a let's play series of me playing Minecraft on 3Speak, and then also uploading the same video series to a YouTube account? Past experience tells me to upload to any and all platforms however I wish; it's my content after all. But it seems a bit strange to say, upload the same content to 3Speak and Dtube etc.
How other people use their multiple accounts, and how other people use their content across multiple platforms, is something I'm interested in finding out more about. Seeing examples of it might help me figure out what I am happy with I guess.
Personally I tend to post along the same themes with my main account and I use alts for selfies and actifit.
You can always just post within specific communities with your main account, different topics.
As to posting on multiple platforms, I don't with blogs but when it comes to videos, which I only do very occassionaly, I might use YouTube - I don't think it's an ethical no go zone to post on multiple platforms!
