RE: My Hive Challenges And Possible Solutions

If it were just about AFIT tokens I'd never recommend Actifit either. However, its about more than that.

An Actifit post pays about 50AFIT tokens daily which is about 3 Naira. You'd be crazy to bother for 3 Naira. If you use boost you can increase that to 200AFIT daily or about 12 Naira. I doubt many Nigerians would be interested in putting in hard work posting for only 12 Naira.

However it is important to remember that the Actifit account upvotes ALL posts with 5000 steps or more. The Actifit account also has a curation trail associated with it.

What does that mean

Every actifit post is going to get 15 or more upvotes. Total value about 0.12Hive of which 0.06Hive goes to the user as Hive Power.

Again...why bother with so little?

When I was a new user I was scraping every HP I could get so I'd have enough Resource Credits to actually make posts. I couldn't afford making a post that may not get any upvotes because I had no presence on Hive. Even that little amount added up to the point where I could actually make better posts in better communities (like #HiveLearners)

But there is another lesser known benefit from Actifit.

Those 15 votes from the Actifit curation trail are typically from people with 65+ reputation and Actifit itself is 70+. Getting those 15 upvotes every day meant that my reputation rose from base to 50 fairly quickly.

It took a month or so but Actifit helped me get my first few HP and boosted my reputation which were important when I ventured elsewhere.

But there is a final benefit.

Once you have been in the Actifit community for a while. You continually write quality posts (5 pictures, 300 words, keep it interesting) and your reputation rises in the community then the OCD curator lends its support.

The OCD curator is a $10 upvotes (vs Lazy Panda which is about $4). I keep on going because that boost from the OCD curator comes about once a week and adds nicely to my HP.

Indeed for the Nigerian community getting 4 x $10 upvotes a month could be a nice little boost to their HIVE earnings. Especially since Actifit posts are way easier than HiveLearner ones :)

Just my quick thought. However, I'll recommend ANY Hive user that is just starting off to join Actifit. It may be terrible for making friends and feeling the community but it is EXCELLENT for getting a little HP to get going, a little reputation boost, and get in the habit of daily posting.

A little more exercise doesn't hurt either :)

Thanks for reading.
