My First Withdrawn Earning through Hive Blogging: Now, it's my turn!!

I still remember vividly from ma'am @dehai and @naymhapz about the orientation, and finally, ma'am @dehai and ma'am @naymhapz encouraged me at the last minute, she said, "Ma'am J, join us we will be having our orientation for Hive, want to join ma'am J?" I just shrugged and smiled because I didn't know If I could attend or not. Then, she again said, "Ma'am J, it is so okay you just observe, sit down, and listen, just publish if you're ready Ma'am J."

My first thought hearing the word "blog" from my colleagues was that this is tiring, it would consume my time, and I don't have time for writing something. Until such time, almost all of them invited me to join this platform and have the orientation, my response was just a simple smile and I didn't know if I wanted to commit to their invitation or what because I didn't know what they were talking about.

Time passed by, and I heard from them the advantages of having this platform, I quickly realized, "I think I like the platform that they were about to introduce to me because just write and publish it, and then you will earn. Honestly, what matters to me the most is the kind or the characteristic that this platform PEAKD brings to me, unlike Facebook, you post and you open your happenings to all people, in short, "your life is open to all". Here, in PEAKD, in Hive, my life is something private, not that much knows me and the second one, I am earning. Furthermore, I am not into Facebook, I don't like to update people on what's going on in my life If I have something to post. it's just a sort of informational or an inspiring picture, I think. I don't know why, It might be this is a sign of maturity, as they said.

My First Digits!!

I attended orientation last June 2023 at Caduawan Elementary School after which, I started blogging on the 30th of June, I quickly decided to join not because I was pressured by the digits I saw during the orientation but because I like the moment that now, I found out a platform where I could share my thoughts and no close people will find it, unlike FB.

My heart was full when I got my first money in blogging, if I were going to withdraw all the dollars that I had in my wallet in my hive, it sum to 17 thousand pesos (my estimate) but we do have what we called, a “reputation” to maintain in hive. At first, I encountered difficulty getting my money since this was my first time to do a process in getting the money, yes, I didn’t continue the process but asked for help from maam @dehai and maam Danica. The process was successful through Ma'am Dehai, she was the one who did the trading or the buy and sell and converted it into pesos, at last, I got my first withdrawal. My salute to the two of you ma'am Dehai and to my curator, Ma'am Dan, for the unending support and patience in the the process, which resulted in going home late.

Through blogging, it is a big help not only financially but also emotionally. Why did I include here the word emotion? Because here in blogging I can express my thoughts, my feelings, and I am free to share here my happenings in life like my travel and who’s with me when people didn’t see me for a couple of days. It is just simple, PeakD, has been with me for many months but I treated it as my friend.

A lot of positive affirmations from a lot of people but no one could replace my appreciation to the people who helped me to be part of this platform, big thanks to IIS Secondary Teachers who influenced me in their secret matters.

My First Project with my First Money in Blogging!

I asked myself, what would be my first project for my money received through blogging? In the past few days, I saw an item and planned to buy this in December, but the planned months were granted very early I could buy this one early through my hard-earned blog. I didn’t buy this one already because I didn’t have time to visit the store. I just putting my money aside if given the chance to reach the store, I will buy this one and get it. Honestly, I was driven by my conscience and made a debating decision just like gonna buy groceries or accessories, but quickly realized, buy the gold, and if we don’t have something to cook in the house and no money at all, I gonna pawn my gold and buy groceries, just simple like that, so at the end of the day, I have still my gold that reminiscing my first withdraw. By the way, that’s all for today.
