Hive ecosystem allow us to earn tokens with our contents when it is curated. Communities encourages us to put out quality content hence we can expect moderators and curators to curate our contents. Curation and earning may not always guaranteed but we can expect that their are people putting their efforts and time in curating our contents. Aside from earning hive and hbd, tribes rewards token when we use their app or put their community tag in our post. Tokens from tribes are given out on top of the hive and hbd that we can get out of our post. This provides more opportunities for us to make more quality contents.

Posting content is the primary means to earn tokens. However, their are other ways to earn tokens. There are investment opportunities in the platform that gives out tokens by holding mining token in our accounts. For those who are not into content creation, they can invest on mining tokens. LEOMM and LEOM mines LEO token that gives holder a chance to have a share of the mined LEO ( token for #LeoFinance community). STEMM generates STEM tokens ( #STEMGeeks community token). The BRO token ( #BROtoken ) pays dividend proportionate to your BRo holding (shares 50% of curation from @brofund). There is a long list of mining token we can invest with. All the token is at Hive Engine.

By staking tokens, we earn from curating contents. Curation rewards are safe way to earn tokens from the platform. To maximize curation, we can follow curation trail of the communities (we can use Hive Vote to trail on community accounts or delegate hive power to community or trusted account that manually curates contents. You can inquire about delegations through discord community servers. Aside from earning thru curation, we can earn a share of mined token when we stake some tokens such as TAN ( gives out SIM token every 24 hours).

There are games such as Splinterland ( #splinterland ) and DCity ( #dcity ), that gives out token when we play. Splinterland, previously SteemMonster (as I knew it before), is a card game were you can earn and invest multiple tokens such as DEC, UNTAMED, PLOT etc. The other one is DCity (I am quite bias with this one). DCity is a simulation game that enables us to build city and earn SIM token every 24 hours. Aside from SIM token, DCity has cards that allow us to earn WEED, BEER and other tokens. Quite unique to DCity is it has opportunities to earn more token when we purchased more cards.

Furthermore, we can earn more tokens when we reinvest to platform either thru buying hive to power up or investing it to miner tokens and tokens that pays dividend. Personally, I delayed cashing out my tokens so that I can reinvest it. I started reinvesting my hive either through power up, buying DCity cards, or invest on blue chip and miner tokens. Rigth now, my portfolio is quite low but I believe the strategy of reinvesting is good for all of us (newbie) to grow in the platform. I don't trade that much hence I am still learning the technicalities of trading. For newbies, we create contents to earn and earn to invest for us to grow in the platform. We never knew when we reached the moon.
