You are on Hive. You explore all the front ends and decide to write a blog for the first time. Then you wait for the votes to come in. One hour goes by. Two hours go by. 

You get a 0.006 vote. No one reads it and you are disappointed and leave the hive website. You tell people that crypto and blogging do not go together and search for websites online that pay you to blog and you come across articles by people who claim that Google Adsense is the best and how you should write in order to earn. You again try to create some blogs and the wait begins. This time for views. 

The google letter comes for address verification and you are excited. You sent the reply and wait and then comes the mail that your blog is no longer qualified and your email id associated with AdSense is also not eligible to apply perhaps. 

This scenario depicted above has been faced by hundreds of bloggers throughout the world. One wrong impression or click and Google bans you. 

### Why Hive is different

When you create an account on Hive either directly or apps such ecency, neoxian, splinterlands and so on, you get a set of keys. **Your very own Keys** Yea, you read it right. **You own the keys to your own wonderful space on the Hive blockchain forever.** 
Please do not take it lightly. Now you are free to blog or post photos or videos and such. 

### Who will vote and interact?

Well, unless you go out and meet people, no one will know you exist, right?

Join Discord - meet people working behind the apps on the hive blockchain and interact with them. Get to know them and learn more about hive and hive exchange and all the wonderful tokens such as Bro, Neoxag, Dec, SPS, Leo, and so on. There is quite a list. The more you interact the more you get attention and people on Hive love to help the newbies and there are contests and giveaways and prizes too. 

You should also enroll for programs such as the @hive-learners and participate and learn along the way and you not only get encouraged and supported but will also gain popularity and establish yourself as a blogger on the Hive blockchain. **Now, doesn't that sound nice and cool**

So, what are you waiting for?
Join Hive and start blogging. Do let me warn you that Hive is addictive. So, once you join Hive, there is no going back. You will also earn serious amounts that you will feel like supporting others and also helping out the needy in your town. 

Why wait for Google to allow you inside the AdSense territory and earn peanuts? Even recently, I learned about a youtube vlogger being kicked out and saw how badly he was taking it. Nothing is permanent on the internet except the blockchain. Hive is the present and the future. 

Ok, there are people who disagree but then it is their own fault that they ended up so. Don't you agree? So, ignore the ignorant and climb mount Everest aka Hive.
