Hey Hive fam! 👋 I’m a total newbie here (joined Ecency exactly 12 days ago) and yesterday I hit my first mini-milestone: I earned roughly $3 worth of HIVE/HBD in less than 24 hours using ONLY the free points Ecency gives everyone. No money spent, no big following, no delegation. Just smart use of the free promotion feature. Here’s the exact step-by-step I followed so you can copy-paste it today and probably earn your coffee money tomorrow. Step 1: Stack Free Ecency Points Daily (Takes 2–3 minutes) Every day you get:
100 points just for logging in 20 points per meaningful comment (up to 500/day) 50–100 points for posting (depends on length/quality) Extra points for voting, reblogging, etc.
I spent literally 10 minutes commenting on 10–15 posts in #ecency, #hive, and #introduceyourself. Boom → 600–800 points per day, completely free. Step 2: Write a Short but Engaging Post (400–600 words is enough) Yesterday I posted a simple 550-word article titled “5 Things I Wish I Knew Before My First Week on Hive” (used 3 of my own phone photos + clear headings + ended with a question). It wasn’t genius literature, but it was original and helpful. Step 3: Promote It with 3000 Free Points (This is the magic) Ecency lets you “Boost” or “Promote” your post using points:
1000 points = small boost 3000 points = big boost (shows post to way more users + trending page)
I used 3000 points (saved over 4 days). Cost to me? $0.00. Within 2 hours the post appeared on the Ecency trending page and started getting real upvotes. The Result After 24 Hours (Real Screenshot Below)
9.8 HIVE + 1.5 HBD in author rewards so far (still 6 days left to grow) Current value: ~$2.90–$3.20 depending on price fluctuation Plus 3 new followers who upvote everything I post now
Here’s my wallet proof (taken this morning): [Insert your own screenshot here when you post – example description: Ecency wallet showing 9.812 HIVE pending rewards + 1.512 HBD from the promoted post] 5 Rookie Mistakes to Avoid (So You Earn Faster Than I Did)
Don’t promote garbage posts – low-quality content gets ignored even with boost. Don’t promote right after posting – wait 5–10 minutes so the post is fully indexed. Always add at least 1–2 original images (phone pics work fine). End your post with a question → more comments = more visibility. Save points for 3000-point boosts; 1000-point ones barely move the needle.
Your Turn – You Can Do This Today If you’re new like me:
Log in now → claim today’s 100 points Make 10–15 good comments → grab 300–500 more Write a quick helpful post (even “My First Impressions of Ecency” works) When you have 3000 points → PROMOTE IT
