UPDATE: Paging all fellow Steemians: Let's give back part of our earnings to make Steemit better !!!

in #giveback8 years ago (edited)

Last Month I started giving back 10% of all my SBD income to other authors or projects.

Being successful on Steemit.com feels amazing, but from my point of view, every member of a society has to share part of his income with the society. Without the society nobody can make it on Steemit in the Long-run.

I spotted many authors on Steemit, whom had pumped out 50-100 posts yet their financial reward for all posts combined was usually less than 20$. One might argue, that the content might not be good enough, but I think that the content is not worse than any successful authors content. At the moment, mostly people with great social and online marketing skills are getting payouts, without bonding using the Steemit.com Chat it is very hard to earn even 1$ on Steemit (This is just my subjective view)

Since 30 days ago, I have been able to sent more than 600 SMD to other authors on the Steemit platform and sponsor different challenges (For Example the Foodchallenge).

Here is a list of receivers for the payments:

I have recently switched the payouts to STEEM POWER. Many won't cash out the Steem or SBD anyways, so this way they get more voting power. 

As most of you are aware of, I am featuring others authors too and the authors are receiving 100% of the SBD earnings as a payout. 

Most of the authors are so grateful, that after writing so many posts, they at least get once a decent payout. I wanted to ask everybody to follow these authors and help them stand on their own feet. 

I have discussed featured posts countless times with @razvanelul and others, are featured post good or bad for the platform? My opinion is, that the money the authors receive from a featured post will motivate them to really keep posting. The time between giving up and getting successful might be only days or even hours apart I know this because before i wrote my first huge GOLD Post shortly before I told myself if I don't earn at least 5$ with a post I will quiet Steemit within 10 days. 

Lately I have started to send the SBD earnings as SBD + SP to the authors. Of course an author could always ask for only SBD to be paid out. 

I am issuing a Magazin called Steemperlen featuring undervalued German posts (5-30 SBD payout per featured author depending how much the post earns)

We were able to find a lot writers and we created the channel #deutsch in the Steemit chat. Since 4 Weeks ago, over 100 German speakers are united in the channel and are discussing and helping each other to spread the word about Steemit (Yes, D-A-CH , Germany, Austria, Switzerland united under one roof)

If you see the Steemperlen, please support the German community with a vote. 

There are more languages:

Russian  Spanish French  Korean (please support the authors!)

Thank you @pharesim @smooth @xeroc @laonie @blocktrades @berniesanders @summon @fabio (and many more) for actively supporting other languages!!

Big thanks for supporting and making Steemit a better place goes to:

Upvoted! Go Steemit! Go!

hey acidsun ;)thanks you for the nice picture ;)

I see your Braveheart and raise you one more:

They can take our land, but they can never take our Blockchain!

You are a good man. So that means I can't like you.

mylord ;) be the force with you

Even, my size I already distributed them back but they don't appreciates.
Do you know, how hard to make 0.001 SBD ???
I collects pennies.

I just sent you 5 Steem Power ! Keep going !

Thanks @knozaki2015
Well, I will give to the deserve one.
I believe in sharing.
Just add you , to follow

What a coincidence. I "promoted" one of my followers post recently.

;) hey ace, yes everybody can help others. if you dont earn 100$ on steemit, you could help with 1 $ or 10cents. its about the gesture, not about the amount !

yay... I only have 2 x 3 digits $ post so far many more zeroes but also glad for the single digits $ to keep me coming back. :-)

Upvoted. Good article and I very much appreciate all your efforts for the community.

Hello Ines, thank you for helping the german community with your translations !

aaaaw, thank you :)

This is a great idea and kudos to you for those donations.

thank you! Yes if steemit fails, all SP I am building up are worthless. so I am happy to share most of my rewards to push Steemit to a point where major adoption occurs.

@knozaki2015 that statement hits the nail on the head. Exactly! I'm grinding out content, building a following as hard and fast as I can so I can donate! I've donated out of pocket thus far to robinhoodwhale and RAK initiatives. If the community grows, we all win. It's still the early adopters phase here.

indeed , as one of the very good earning authors, I see it as my responsibility to give back as much as I can to the community!

This is an amazinv post, thank you for your efforts and contributions!

thank you for your comment ! I will keep pushing to help even more people

Thanks for giving back!

thank you for taking the time to read the post !

I love your project and your commitment to help new users. Keep going!

Hello Ziogio!
thank you for your support really apprecite it

I do not earn much as all but I would be happy to donate when I do earn

yes, even if you earn only 2 SBD you could send 0.2 SBD to someone you think deserves it.
But of course once you earn big, I know you will donate too :)
