I got started with Hive on the advice of @jongolson and then I watched every one of his training videos (on the old Click Track Profit platform) to get off to a good start. One bit of his advice that I didn't take in the early days was to get active in Splinterlands... I joined, but didn't want to "get sucked in" and spend too much time on the platform. Then I got some good advice from somebody about the high interest that you could earn by staking SPS! You have to do that inside Splinterlands, so I started to log in and stake SPS... and ended up getting sucked into the game! These days the interest rate on SPS is not so high, but I'm highly engaged with the game - running a guild, and harvesting several plots of land... Whether "stake SPS" was ultimately good financial advice, I don't know, but I have a lot of fun with Splinterlands.

Oh, and here's some advice for you, dear reader: Join my Splinterlands guild!
