Paging all fellow Steemians: Let's give back part of our earnings to make Steemit better !!!
Are you giving your best, but receiving only Cents on the $ for your posts? Everybody knows this, you have been working on your masterpiece for two days, you were sure that you wrote about something with great value to the community, but nobody seems to see your post.
While browsing and reading as many topics i could, i came across a lot authors, who are writing awesome Posts but didn't earn a lot on Steemit.
I am voting many of the up, mostly before 30 Minutes have passed so they can get most of my curation reward.
Don't get me wrong, the system of Steemit is beautiful, but there are many many authors whom in my point of view deserve a bit more attention and a share of the earnings. (this might change, once we got more users joining the system)
I was fortunate enough to earn some payout (5000$, 107$, 200$, 300$) and i as i still seem to be able to earn more in the future, so i would like to propose to the Steemit community, to give back a little of their earnings.
Everybody can decide how much he/she is able to spare, and everybody decides whom to send a little $$ to (I am sure you have seen that post, where you thought, damn that post is great, why is (s)he is only getting 23Cents?)
You earned some money, lets say 2800$. Why not share 1-10% of that SMDs you received with authors whom were not so lucky?
I received around 150 Steem $ for this Post so as of today, i will transfer 10% of all earnings on Steemit to others in the Steemit Community.
You don't have to be a big earner to participate, every Cent/Penny counts!!
I know that i am not the first one to do this , i have seen whales giving away SMD or Steem to others, i have seen users who have transferred to others, so this is already happening.
I was lucky to earn a lot shortly after i joined, so this kept me going, improving my posts, so i hope that through this initiate, we can support good writers to continue to improve, write more, get noticed and start earning on Steemit and create great content for Steemit (in the end it will be a win-win for all of us)
If you are an Author: Just use the TAG #giveback if you like to be seen!!
100% of the earnings of this post will be re-distributed to other writers, so if you like this idea, please give an up vote!
Paging @piedpiper @donkeypong @stellabelle @kevinwong @itsascam @smooth @berniesanders and all the other great Steemians !!
I have started paying out the first amounts to some people. these are my selections, everybody should just chose whom to send the Steem $ to.
First 15 SBD have been paid to people i think need it.
30 SBD already paid out !
The fact that anyone needs to donate to "fix" the system means that the system may need tweaking to improve its curation incentives. In other words, it might be better to just improve the system instead of organizing donation campaigns.
Now, don't get me wrong, I've proposed some donations as well (the other day a "gem list" had like 1000+ usd while the gems had nothing - and I proposed to the gem list author to channel some of the money to the gem authors). But it's not how it should be done in the long run. The problem will only get worse with an increasing userbase and content getting buried faster.
hi alex,
i am sure in the near future, the dev team will find a solution to better make people view new posts.
i think the success of steeemit, so many new people signing on, is a reason for this problem.
we might not do it in the long run, but in the short term, i think its a viable option to help each other out.
Still waiting for this
QUICK UPDATE :
Best comments goes to jayfox -> already sent 5 SBD and capitalism for suggesting it -> another 5 SBD already sent

Danke dir man :D die Aktion ist echt richtig gut hast du was dagegen wenn auch andere das so umsetzen?
It's such a wonderful idea. As a writer myself, this would motivate me so much to come up with even better content! Thank you so much for doing this!
With love,
From the minnows... :)
hi ! thanks !
yes thats the intention, to help everybody to give their very best...
my own posts were so bad in the beginning ;) no pictures. no format. bad english. i am improving everyday !
so if we all do help each other, Steemit will be the Number 1 platform for any kind of content oneday!
That's what's needed of steemit and the world in general! :)
Hey knoxaki2015,
that's a great idea. Currently I am working on something and when finished I will publish it with #giveback. My earnings from the next post will be spread among users who deserve it. Why I will do so? Because I know that feeling. And I know I will change the way I am on Steemit. :)
hey tim ! great you are joining. the more people we help out, the more great content we will receive.
so i will vote as much as i can. and spread part of my earnings!
i am following you now !
Thank you! Following you too. Hope my next work won't be disappointing

ich benutze auch craigrant als Tag an zweiter oder dritter Steller, so kommst eben in eine Gruppe rein die fuer dich upvoted. Du machst das natuerlich auch im Gegenzug, so wird aus einem kleinen Post schnell mal ein ganz grosser.
Just posted under the giveback tag. https://steemit.com/steem/@elyaque/brilliant-new-interview-with-ned-and-dan-from-steemit
great ! hopefully in german?
This is exactly what differs steemit from other communities. I've never seen so much generous people who literally care about other people at a place before. I'm convinced that steemit will succeed, if we are able to keep that spirit.
yeah, i think its because once you start earning, and learn how to do it, its just amazing to see how you can earn money. so giving something back doesnt hurt you, and it will make you friends and finally benefit steemit, as people will help each other and grow steemit !
Neat idea but I'm gonna decline the invitation. I already vote on other people's content, promote other people's work, and spend most of my time on Steemit helping newcomers. My first month was very slow in the earnings department but that's normal. It takes time to develop a reputation and audience. Anyone that's honest and serious here can do just fine without charity. I did a video about this here.
hi piedpiper,
yes i know you are supporting others! so everybody has his own ways.
so keep up the great work with your videos !
