I always convert HBD to Hive in the internal market, so doing it in reverse would be just as easy. :) I don't know why the prices shown on PeakD are from Coin Gecko when they have a much lower volume from what I understand, so it's always a bit different from the internal market prices. So keep that in mind!
Have a great week. :)

Oh! and re:

What advice would you give to someone starting out?

I would say, comment a lot on other people's stuff, so you meet people and discover communities. Finding the right group for where to post your content matters a lot I think, rather than posting irrelevant content in the wrong community, which annoys people who are interested in that community topic. Getting yourself out there and exploring the different topics is a good way to get a feel for what works in a blog, and what topics go where.
