Understanding The Newbies Initiative Program - Learn From My Own Experience
Hello from this part of the world, my name is Mistural, and on the Hive blockchain, I go by the handle @mistural. First and foremost, I'd like to congratulate all of the newbies that were selected for this initiative, as well as the team behind it.
The Newbies Initiative Program
The newbies initiative is a program with the aim of assisting newbies on Hive in understanding how the platform works. They assist newbies in understanding the basics of Hive, as well as the Do(s) and Don'ts (s). Additionally, they support the newbies with upvotes, tips, and encourage them with comments.
Why You Should Learn From My Experience
I applied for the last edition of the program and got selected, all the selected members have access to a channel on the Smile discord server, we were instructed to drop our post link provided that we support the post of another member and indicate the name of the member, this is to encourage engage and interaction among the newbies, in addition, this will allow the newbies to know one another very well. Throughout the three months of the program, I met a lot of people and learned a lot of new things, including how to use tags, the different types of communities and the types of content you can post there, the importance of engagement and interaction, how to find the perfect niche that fits you, the importance of powering up, and so much more.
My Advice To The Newbies
Engage and Interact With Different Communities
It's no longer news that the newbies initiative has integrated with the Hive Learner community; this is a fantastic alliance, and I'm delighted there's a specific community for newbies to publish their content; however, my advice is that you should try to diversify your engagement; there are various niches on the chain; find one that suits you well and interact with the members, engage, and make friends.
Find The Perfect Niche That Suit You And Build A Solid Relationship
You might be wondering on how to find the perfect niche that fits you and engage with them, that was the same question I asked myself but thanks to @josediccus who took his time to explained how to go about it in the simplest form.
He only asked me one question, which was, What do you enjoy doing? I replied that I enjoy cooking and spend most of my time in the kitchen practicing recipes I've learned on YouTube, and that was the answer. Food is my specialty and something I can do without breaking a sweat, so he suggested I start blogging about the meals I prepare, the steps involved in making the recipe, and the delicacies. Now to choose the community that best matches my niche, since there are many on the chain that support food, so he suggested I go with the community that is part of OCD incubation program, and the idea community is Foodie Hive Bee, which support food and recipes contents, That's how I got started with the Foodie Hive Bee community, commenting on other people's posts before dropping my own (@starstings01 suggested this), and it's worked out well because the majority of my earnings came from the content I published in this community, as well as the majority of my followers.
Do You Know You Can Use My Method To Discover Your Perfect Niche Too?
So, I'm going to ask you the same question: what do you enjoy doing? Is it Photography? Music? Games, Drawing, Crafts Making, Fiction Writer Or do you enjoy Cooking? Look for the community that match your niche and also consider the community that is part of the OCD incubation program. Develop relationships with the community's administrators and moderators, create high-quality, original content, and make sure you credit the source of any image or text you copied from the internet or from another user.
What Should I Expect From This Initiative? (Question From Newbie)
I know a lot of newbies will be asking this question, but I'll like to respond based on my previous experience. Like I said the program is set up by some kind hearted members with the aim of helping newbies developed and understand the basics of Hive, the resources available are limited which what I mean is that; upvotes are not guaranteed. My advice for you is that you shouldn't expect large upvotes since the selected newbies outnumber the resources, but believe me you will definitely be supported, supporting isn't about large upvote but the team will provide answers to any of your questions.
Furthermore, there will be meetings on the SMILE Discord server (please make sure you attend all meetings), during this meetings you will have the opportunity to ask questions and make suggestions. Finally, you will be required to complete a task within a certain time frame, and if you fulfill the task's guidelines and rules, you will be rewarded with upvotes the task will also helped you understand Hive.
Conclusion
Hive is so broad that you will continue to learn even after the program is over. I still don't understand some things on the chain and I keep asking questions. I just hope @josediccus, @starstrings01, and my gaming mentor @ksam don't get tired of answering my questions, so please don't hesitate to ask questions if you don't understand something; my discord DM is always open.
I wish you all the best of luck on your Blockchain journey over the next three months; remember to study, earn, engage, and have fun ā¤ļøš.

Unfortunately, I never joined the newbies initiative program, I joined hive just immediately the last edition took off sadly but It is amazing how I get a great amount of knowledge every time I read a posts like this especially post made by those who joined the program.
Thanks for not keeping this to yourself, thanks for sharing.
You are doing great, you have dedicated your time to look for post that teaches about Hive. I love the fact that you are doing things yourself and you are doing the right thing..
Hive is really board and we are all still learning, let just keep pushing the sky is our limit ā¤ļø
Wow that's for sharing this Masterpiece, I got huge amount of value from it.
This is well noted, I've been thinking about that and also worked on it, but like you said here;
I mostly get involve in Shoemaking and tailoring, but there isn't community in field of Shoemaking, and I think the closest to it is needleworkmonday Community.
I do post there, but I do feel like my work is not in line with theirs, but I've understand alittle better now from what you've written, that I ought to engage with others in the community.
Thanks once again, have a blessed day ahead.
I think Hive Diy will be perfect community for this.. plus they are part of the OCD incubation program
Wowww @mistural you are just a darling š. Many thanks to you for taking time in explaining things for us here so we can succeed together in this platform.
All the tips is well noted.
How can one determine the Communities involved in this program?
The OCD incubation program is a special program initiated by the OCD team, this is to help and support the members of the community, they upvotes quality and orginal contents using the OCD curation trail. For every community that applied for the program and get selected, the OCD will always support the community members with upvotes.
You can check out the latest list of Communities that are currently in this program here
Alright
Much appreciated š
Thanks a lot @mistural you are very blunt in all you said, I would say am consistent in anything i put my mind to do. But this question that was asked by @josediccus to you, if I was asked, I won't have an answer because, I love doing a lot of things, I can't even mention, I don't really know what i like but i love doing many things. Though, I like exploring, blogging and learning new things, I can't really know my niche. That is why i would need your advice and the advice of any moderators.
Since you love doing many things then why not start with one of those things you love doing. Someone like you who loves doing many things means you have an endless source of inspiration. Just target one of those things you love doing and do it one at a time.
If you focus your mind on many things, you would be lost. keep your mind in track by doing a thing at a time. That way you would realize how much inspiration you can tap into.
Very good program I think. Many beginners on Platform Hive start with their self-taught knowledge, so they seem to imitate what others are doing. It makes them do not know what to do and what not to do. I hope this program goes well, and continues to educate people who are about to start their journey in HIVE.š
Yeah... The program assist newbies, teaches them the Do(s) and Don't(s) of the chain
Yeah, i hope the program achieves the desired goal.
Let's make Newbie Initiative trending on Hive...š„š„š„
Thanks for this! How do I find out about the newbie program. Iād like to apply.
For now, applications to join the newbies initiative program is not closed. After the program has ended, another post would be published for newbies to apply to the initiative.

I don enter!!!
This is a real great PEP talk.
I quite enjoy a lot of things but mainly mobile photography but yet due to my schedules and area, it is rear to see what drives you for to take photos, so what do I do in that case?
hmm, due to your schedules and area. there is a saying, whatsoever that is important to you, you would create a time for it. If they are no as much as important to you as what you are doing at the moment, you would always have not enough time as an excuse.
One thing about photography as I know is, no matter how bad the area looks, an art can be created over it. Just to think outside the box. Photographers are just like make up artist they transform what that is not attractive to something attractive.
@starstrings01 is right about this..
You can just take a day off, then tour around the town with your mobile camera and take different pictures, make sure those pictures are much and of different categories. You can easily use it anytime you want..
I'll also suggest you dive into marco photography, take pictures of plants, trees, even insects and some domestic animals in your area.

Maybe this question has not been answered by me until now, I have tried several times with various different topics but I have not found which one fits my true identity,
What do you at your leisure time asides resting or sleeping?
reading various other friends' posts and seeing what he's doing, sometimes I often think I want to do what he does but sometimes I don't do it

please, is there a political community? I've been trying to search for it but couldn't find any
You can always use leofinance community in cases like that.
Thank you!
ok, thanks
Thanks for coming through @mistural. I have definitely learned one or two things from your post here. Right now, I am doing some re-evaluations on myself.
That's good to hear @temibot, you are really making waves on the chain. keep the momentum going and the sky is definitely your limit
Ah mama @mistural its the wave for me š. I am still trying out my better o
Thanks for the motivation.
I really appreciate this post
Knowledge packed and very useful in guiding us
Really loved it
I hope you've learnt one or two things from the post
I just got to know that the newbies initiative has been closed for now till the next 3 months and I regret not being part of it. Actually just signed up a few days ago, well I grabbed a lot from your post, thanks so much
I really appreciate your time in fishing out this knowledge. I didn't know about a lot of these things you mentioned. You are a sweetheart. Thank you
Thank you very much for sharing this piece. Sincerely speaking me a s a newbie get confused sometimes there will be idea but we don't know how to present it.
Every newbie will definitely get confused, that's why the newbies initiative program was initiated to help solve this problem and help understand the blockchain.
Like I said you need to find your perfect niche, what you love doing most, then let your idea merge with whatever you love doing this will be easy for you to present, I hope you get what I'm saying. Let me use my very self as an example;
When I first joined this platform, I have different idea, I saw a lot of contents with large upvote, I've numerous ideas in my head but I don't know how exactly to present it. Sometimes I wrote about diary (how I spent my day) sometimes I made research on crypto project or finance project and make a post about it. But it was really difficult and sometimes it stressful cause I have to sit down and digest. But when I discovered the secret of Hive is finding your perfect niche i.e what you love doing and engage with the best community that suit it, the ideas will be coming with ease and presenting it will be very easy because that's what you love doing most.
I hope you understand my point here? For instance I love cooking food, so creating food contents will be easy for me since that's what I love doing most, food ideas will be easy for me to present since that's my passion.
What I'll advice you is find your preferred niche, it can be more than one, since it's yoir passion the ideas will be very easy to present.
I wish you best of luck in the next 3 months journey.
This program is really a very interesting one, aimed at helping newbies grow.
I very much appreciate your post on this, helping us with the right encouragement and advice to grow.
I say a big thank you.
Wow š³š³! Thanks @mistural for putting out this beautiful post, it's really helpful, especially for newbies like us.
I'm glad you found the piece useful, have a nice day š„°
