My account is just over a month now (like probably 34 days old) and I am glade to see that I am making a progress (thanks to Hivestats.io for providing us the stats and to track our performance).

Looking at my Account Growth graph on Hivestats, I feel happy to see it going up.

In these approximately 34 days I was able to earn `95.1 HP in Author Rewards` and `1.27 HP in Curation Rewards`.

The curation rewards is directly proportional to your Hive Power meaning that the more Hive Power you have, the better is your chances of earning more Hive and vice versa.

Now, with the Hive itself, thanks to LeoFinance, VYB etc for providing us these frontends where we can also earn their native tokens thus increasing our chances of earning a few extra bucks.

Earning around 95 Hive Power approx a month may not be much for some but for me it's does make a difference because I am already doing a job five days a week 9 to 5 and the salary I receive is low so I don't get a chance to save it. Therefore, I am saving whatever I earn here on Hive platform and also trying my luck by investing a little bit of sum into other cryptos.

And the good part about this Hive/Leo platform is that we are not risking any money because we can earn straightaway just by writing posts sharing our views thoughts etc. Even one can make money just by commenting on other's posts.

I am happy so far, and hopefully will continue to make progress engaging in Hive/ Leo community because I believe that engagement could prove very helpful in giving one exposure. I am also trying to be as active as I can trying to post daily in LeoFinance community.

Thanks for your support.
