Now more than ever is time to put up your content, show us what you got—don't be bashful. There's a lot of people around the world right now with an unanticipated amount of free time on their hands in search of consumable content. If you're looking for a place where you can not only consume but also get creative and share your creativity; do things like curate, occupy your time, make new friends and likely be rewarded for your efforts, I got what you're looking for: Hive Blockchain. C'mon, I saved you seat.
With the many dApps and front ends available at your fingertips, there's a variety of suitable platforms for each viewers user interface preference. I do the majority of my consuming and posting between Ecency App and PeakD. Both of which are simple to navigate even for those lacking in the tech savvy department like myself.
(I didn't know what a 'dApp' was either)
Make a video clip, post it on 3speak or put your art creations, comedy, travel experiences, food recipes, DIY project (discussion topics are endless) on the cover and tell us about it. Everyone's a photographer nowadays thanks to these handy gadgets in our pocket so get out there and snap some photos, pick a cover image and run with it.

It won't cost you a penny, in fact, you'll likely be rewarded for your efforts in the form of Hive Tokens, a cryptocurrency tradable to the currency of your choice at more than 30 exchanges worldwide. I snapped the above image with my iPhone and turned it into a birthday card for @puravidaville 's mother:
Happy 60th, Pura's Mom!
If you're into arts and design, there's plenty of artists around here producing original content keeping your feed full of free entertainment. Regardless your canvas of choice or preferred mediums: pencils, paint, clay, popsicle sticks, yarn, you'll find it here—it's all here. Plenty of multi-media artists, too, click on any of the authors I'm following and lose track of time. Just tell us a few basics like how you did it:
iPad and Apple Pencil
Stained Glass
Or maybe your wife's been taking advantage of our current restrictions by tuning up her own acrylic and brush techniques—mine has. She's unaware I'm about to show you this but seeing how she already said I do once, I do not see any harm in it.

So go outside (while permissible), snap some pictures, shoot some footage and post it on Hive. Being rewarded for your efforts comes with time but the more you practice, the likelier you'll be on the receiving end. But there's more to this platform than that—a lot more.
I've met quite a few virtual strangers here I consider good people, come hang out for awhile and see what I mean. Stop by, drop these authors a line, let them know you appreciate their content, it's free to do. A little engagement goes a long way and, while not all wallets are created equal, something as simple as handing out the vote afforded to your wallet or a simple acknowledgment showing appreciation never goes unnoticed—we do see you. Snapping a few images while enjoying the outdoors is like a walk in the park only different:

Are you into music? Maybe you're a singer/songwriter or know someone who is—promote yourself and them here. I'm eagerly awaiting these venue gates to reopen so I can hear what my favorite artists have to say first hand. What's your listening preference or instrument of choice? Tell us about it. Snap some pictures and post your experience on Hive. ithink you'll be pleasantly surprised by the reaction from the community.

Each of these topics and a handful of others even have their own personalized community. I'm not too familiar with communities but I see people mention them regularly. They're also referred to as niches where likeminded people who share similar interests can get together. Again, I'm familiarizing myself with them as I type this but I know a guy who's on top of it and he's more than happy to give you a hand.
(Just know his lingo is best translated at 180bpm)
There's something here for everyone. Test the water or jump in head first, it won't kill you. Today's restrictions mean we all have extra time to consume content and Hive has plenty of content producers. Get comfortable, stop by any time, pour a cup of coffee and stay awhile.

Last but not least, happy Halloween! It's not only the first celebrated Halloween since the development of Hive but it's also the first Halloween where not disguising your face is a unique costume—trick or treat.
