Hi Hivians, tho I'm also a fresher on Hive but from my very little experience, these are the few tips I have gathered and I'd gladly share with a newbie to help him or her have a great Hive experience:

Being consistent:try to post regularly, which will help you build a following and keep your audience engaged. Don't just post whenever you feel like it, though. Create a schedule and stick to it. For example, I post on Sundays(after attending either a training, a meetup, or a workshop), Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays (I participate in contests on three different communities, and these contests are weekly). This way, your followers will know when to expect new content from you.

Use the Right Tags: Tags are like labels that help people find your content. Use relevant tags that describe what your post is about. This will make it easier for others to discover your work and engage with you. For instance, if you're posting about photography, you could use tags like #photography, #photos, #camera, etc. And also note that if you're participating in a contest, there's likely to be an assigned tag(s) that are very compulsory or essential in your entry.

Follow the Rules:Hive has rules, and it's essential to follow them. Whether you're participating in a contest or just posting generally, make sure you read and understand the rules. This will help you avoid getting penalized or having your posts flagged. Take some time to familiarize yourself with Hive's community guidelines and terms of service, it'd help you know the dos and don'ts guiding them.

Participate in Contests: Contests are a great way to get noticed on Hive. They can help you build your reputation, gain followers, and even earn some rewards. So, keep an eye out for contests and participate in the ones that interest you. Just make sure you follow the rules and submit your entries on time(very important)

Leave Nice Comments:When commenting on others' posts, be kind and relevant. Don't just leave a generic comment. Instead, take the time to read the post, think about it, and leave a thoughtful comment. This will help you build relationships with other users and grow your network.

Don't Plagiarize:Plagiarism is a big no-no on Hive. Always make sure you're posting original content or giving proper credit to the original creator. This will help you build trust with your audience and avoid any potential issues. If you're sharing someone else's work, be sure to link back to the source and give them the credit they deserve. But I'd advise you not to share someone's work; keep everything original, from pictures to write-ups. Don't copy and paste people's work or even yours(i.e, posting the same write-up in two communities), it's wrong.

Use Real Image Sources:When posting images, make sure you have the right to use them. Don't just Google an image and post it without checking if it's copyrighted. I've not used any Google free pictures before, so I can't tell you how that works.

Attend Trainings, Meetups, and Workshops:Hive has a lot of resources available, including trainings, meetups, and workshops. These can help you learn new skills, network with other users, and stay up-to-date with the latest trends. So, keep an eye out for these events and participate whenever you can! You can learn new things, meet new people, and have fun while doing it.

Other guidelines include:
=Never share your Keys
=Ask questions about things you don't understand
I believe, as a newbie, if you follow this few advice, it'd help you explore Hive at least to a certain limit.
