I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1103 - 5 Tips to Boost Your Hive Income - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, August 4, 2025

I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 6 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

In my almost 4 years in the Hive Blockchain Ecosystem I've learned a huge amount about a whole lot, but especially in terms of investing, leveraging, generating, and growing assets and income. It's become quite a passion of mine, I must say, and I love being able to help people by sharing information that can benefit them. There are so many small and easy things that people can do to boost their income on Hive in various ways, and today I want to mention a handful of them that some of you may not yet know. One that comes to mind is commenting on @vote-com's daily creative stories. Everyone who comments is sent SECRET tokens (along with usually a few others), which have a very high and also very consistent value, they can easily be sold, and selling them is actually encouraged. I know the it has helped me with investing more into diesel/liquidity pools.

The second mutually-beneficial activity to do is to participate in the periodic Calls to Action by @coldbeetrootsoup and @hive-echo, which usually involves engaging and promoting Hive on web2 platforms like X. All their posts are set to use Comment Rewarder, with all valid participants being rewarded quite well indeed. Taking part in these initiatives helps grow your wallet and the Hive Ecosystem at the same time, so win-win.

The third thing that I'd recommend is participating in @benthomaswwd's regular @heartbeatonhive contests, in which he very generously rewards not only the winners, but everyone who takes part, with an assortment of useful and valuable assets. Ben's contests are one of our main Alive Tribe activities, and he goes all out in making them valuable for our community.

My fourth suggestion is to delegate staked BEE and POB tokens to @bee.voter and @pob.voter respectively to receive quite high weekly payouts in HIVE. That's how I've been growing the HP for @alive.chat and @aliveandthriving so quickly, and it's been working very well indeed.

The fifth and last tip that I'll mention today is to stake GAMER tokens to periodically claim HIVE on kryptogamers.com. Mind you, it takes quite a lot of staked GAMER to get nice payouts, but it's free HIVE regardless. I usually do my claim once every month or two, and while the amount of HIVE that I receive is not yet great, it definitely adds up over time. I hope that you've found these tips useful, and if you're aware of some not mentioned, please let me know, because I'm always on the lookout!

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, a little after 2PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, then collecting coconut meat and coconut water from several younger coconuts, to prepare a new medium to ferment another round of kefir. When I had that done, I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, after which I got my machete and did some clearing at various points along trails. After clearing a good bit, I took a shower, made myself some food (spiced-and-seasoned ground beef, eggs, onions, tomatoes, longevity spinach leaves, olive oil, and sea salt) in the Landing, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand, I headed back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I had to pause that for about 2 hours to go attend the Monday community logistics meeting, and as soon as it was over, I returned to the Flow House to get back to Hive. Because of my missed time, I wasn't able to get fully caught up on notifications, stopping around 11:30PM to do some asset management, to give a quick scan of my X feed, and finally to go to bed a bit after 12AM. I woke up just before 6AM, having thankfully slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 12:30PM, so it's an excellent time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my other few important Hive tasks, before preparing for a session scheduled for 1:30PM. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression of these posts! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2025 Life Goals

1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.

2.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.

3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.

4.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
