While I'm mainly into blogging and curating on mainly Hive and Leo, I have diversified over the last almost four years and I now have several micro-passive income streams adding to the coffers, here's an overview of the various initiatives I've invested in:

To my mind there are FOUR main ways I earn a completely passive, or passive-ish income on Hive, besides the most obvious ways - blogging and curating on Hive and @leofinance:

  1. Passive returns for holding 'alt hive tokens'
  2. Passive returns from delegating Hive
  3. Blogging and curating through more tribes!
  4. Gaming income

NB this isn't supposed to be a compreshensive list of ways you can earn on Hive, it's just my attempt to review the options I've chosen, the weights I've put into them and the approximate amount they return every month.

Passive returns from buying and holding 'alt Hive' tokens

  • 1050 LBI tokens - Leo Basic Income - a 20% increase in token value since inception around 20 weeks ago (how time flies!)
  • 47 SPI tokens - yielding 1 Hive a month and a nice value increase in the SPI token value since I invested well over a year ago now.
  • 17 BRO - yielding 0.5 Hive a month and micro-returns in other tokens
  • 145 Utopis - yielding 30 Hive a month
  • 1000 DHedge - yielding 3 Hive a month and extremely micro-returns in other tokens.

Passive returns from delegating Hive

  • 10 000 HP delegation to @leovoter - Yielding 100 LEO a month at 16% APY, one of the best returns on Hive I think!
  • 200 HP delegation to @curangel - yielding 2 Hive a month
  • 200 HP delegation to @hodlcommunity - yielding 1 Hive a month, but I like to support smaller projects

Tribal curation and @tipu

  • Splintertalk (SPT) writing and curating - I've got almost 500K SPT which yields me somewhere around 4 Hive a month in curation and the same in author rewards for posting my weekly challenges
  • ProofofBrain (POB) writing and curating - it's early days, but I think around 20 Hive a month is a good guestimate. Just for adding 'proofofbrain' to the tags!
  • PORN curating - with my nearly 90K Porn megawhale stake I'm raking in about 4 Hive a month.
  • curating through @tipu - just by writing @tipu curate after various posts I'm earning about 5 Hive a month, NiCE!

Gaming income

  • Playing Splinterlands - I earn somewhere between $10 to $15 a season, times 2, let's average it out and call it $25 a month.

  • Splinterlands rentals - not too much, somewhere around 10 Hive a month for several cards I've got rented out.

  • @Exodegame card sales - I've got three syndicate contracts so I've got a steady stream of income coming in from selling a few off... I've got more than 20 of these for example, current valuation around $2.50

Not that I'm selling too many, I'm holding 90%! Hard to say what my income is here, about $5 a month is a reasonable estimate!

Total Hive Alt Income = around $130 a month

That's with assuming Hive is valued at around $0.50, so all in all not too shabby for not actually doing very much at all.

I'll take that!
