Since you're able to monetize your blog, people tend to ask - how much does Hive cost? Do you need to pay to get an account? Are you required to buy anything once you join? The very short answer (which I probably shouldn't say, so you have to listen to my podcast to find out...lol) is - it costs nothing.

Also, if you're only seeing this message in my Hive Post, please check back in a bit for my expanded post with show notes. I'm no longer including that text in my Aureal Episode description, as it doesn't format well on the aureal site. </p><p>traciyork</p><hr><p>▶️ <a href="https://aureal.one/episode/2081214" rel="nofollow noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog">Aureal</a></p></center><p></p></div>

<h2>Show Notes for How Much Does Hive Cost </h2>

Again, not too many things I mention in the episode that needed linking, but I came up with - 

&#x2666;&#xfe0f; The official word about how much Hive costs on the <a href="https://hive.blog/faq.html#Does_it_cost_anything_to_post__comment__or_vote" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Does it cost anything to post, comment, or vote?</a> section of the <a href="https://hive.blog/faq.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Hive FAQ</a>  

&#x2666;&#xfe0f; Information back in 2020 about Hive referrals <a href="https://peakd.com/hive/@hiveonboard/feature-update-hive-referral-tracker" rel="noopener" target="_blank">HIVE Referral Tracker</a> through the Hive account, <a href="https://peakd.com/@hiveonboard" rel="noopener" target="_blank">@hiveonboard</a>. 

&#x2666;&#xfe0f; I also found this information under the <a href="https://peakd.com/me/referrals" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Peakd tab for referrals</a>, but since you can't view it unless you're logged into your Hive account, I thought I'd screencap the bit of info at the top so everyone can easily see it - 

<a href="https://www.traciyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Screenshot-2022-11-25-at-19-12-50-PeakD.png"><img src="https://www.traciyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Screenshot-2022-11-25-at-19-12-50-PeakD.png" alt="How Much Does Hive Cost referral info from peakd" width="1129" height="321" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26691" /></a>
   
&#x2666;&#xfe0f; A little more info about the new and improved referrals section of peakd is in their post - <a href="https://peakd.com/hive-163399/@peakd/simpleswap-communities-titles-and-better-referrals" rel="noopener" target="_blank">SimpleSwap, Communities Titles and Better Referrals Page</a>

<h2>That's it for today! </h2>
