Helping HSCO Vendors and Supporters Through Lotus Token (A Natural Medicine Partnership)

Since the Hard Fork, curation/author rewards at set at 50/50. Whilst many of us worried about what this might mean for our earnings, many have seen their author rewards go up as there are more people curating. It also means that that it's of great benefit for us to curate, because we can earn more rewards that way too. Burning through your voting power once a day on #homesteaders posts and the posts of your Co-Op friends is a great way to support others whilst earning rewards yourself. Curation is more important than ever!

Further Curation Rewards Through Rise of the Tokenised Tribes

The other way you can earn rewards is through tokens. Many of you would have noticed that you have tokens building up in your wallet in Steempeak (our favourite way to experience Steem!). Some of you are a bit hesitant to look into tokens because it's another complication that can be quite overwhelming, and that's perfectly understandable!

So, where am I going with this?

As leader of @naturalmedicine and an Elder in the Homesteaders Co-Op community, I'm responsible for making sure my people are supported and rewarded as much as they can be.

Natural Medicine and Homesteaders Co-Op have had a long running relationship, and you might notice that in the store, there a WHOLE SECTION on Natural Health, from soaps and natural cosmetics to tinctures. Check it our here - @sunscapes, @nateonsteemit, @mountainjewel and others sell medicines in this section!

@sagescrub, the founder of Homesteaders Co-Op, has a particular passions for herbal medicines, and in fact, I first connected to him reading a post about a yarrow tincture he'd made!

The Connection Between the Homesteaders and Natural Medicine Community: A Shared Ethos

It is because of this long running relationship that helps support communities that I want to tell you about LOTUS token.

LOTUS is a social coin for enthusiasts of natural health - from herbalism and essential oils, to food as medicine, meditation and spirituality, as well as the relationship of human beings to the natural world through wild-crafting, permaculture and other 'healthy' earth centred practices.

These kind of practices align perfectly with the values of many homesteaders we see on Steem. It's exactly why we included the #homesteaders tag on our front end. If you haven't seen our front end yet, you can see it here. It's really the same as Steemit.com and has the same feel, except you'll see earnings in LOTUS rather than Steem. Posts published on any front end using the tag #naturalmedicine will turn up here, and if you're a LOTUS stakeholder, you can earn LOTUS rewards that way as well.

Say you're writing a post about growing garlic and it's medicinal benefits, or foraging for wild mushrooms. As long as you use #naturalmedicine with the other tags appropriate to your various communities and interests, such as #foraging #homesteading #herbs, it'll turn up on the Natural Medicine Front End

Staking your Lotus to Earn Rewards

Some people in the HOMESTEADERS CO-OP have already been airdropped some LOTUS, and just need to stake them. That simply means powering them up to earn curation rewards, and that's easy to do. You can read this post to find out how!

Further Support for Lotus Homesteaders & HSCO Vendors

If you have LOTUS staked, and you would like the opportunity to earn more curation rewards, Natural Medicine have created a post promotion channel for homesteaders in their Discord server here. We welcome all vendors and contributors of HSCO to have access to this gesture of support.

We will give you a special role (LOTUS HOMESTEADER) and you can drop your links there.

Full membership (to the other post promo channels) requires delegation for anyone over 150SP to help Natural Medicine run, of course, but if you stake LOTUS you will have access to at least one channel that everyone can see. Post a great #homesteaders post there, and we might see it and give it a @naturalmedicine upvote, or even a LOTUS upvote! We're always on the look out for great posts to reward. We take curation seriously are believe good engagement is at the heart of both our communities, and the whole Steemiverse.

To gain access to this curation assistance:

  • Join the Natural Medicine Discord server here
  • Stake your Lotus (how to do so is here)
  • Message me (riverflows #4591) explaining you have staked LOTUS and want to be a LOTUS HOMESTEADER
  • Start dropping links in the post promotion channel!

We are hoping that this extra support helps:

  • Draw attention to vendor storefronts on HSCO
  • Helps gain you more followers (and thus more potential customers)
  • Helps gain you more curation and author rewards
  • Helps support these united communities on Steem
  • Helps build the value of the LOTUS token

If you have any further questions, please drop into the Homesteaders Co-Op Discord and ask @riverflows or DM her - riverflows#4691.

Supporting one another makes sense, and in the true spirit of steem. Now just gotta get those gerzillion tokens piling up worth more than 0.00083 LOL and get steem back into the $10 range. :) I am eternally hopeful. :) Great content, and curation is key. Always.

Oh its sooo daunting, dealing with the gazillions! I love the 'all in one claim' button in wallet... job done. I stake the ones I believe in, sell the ones I dont. It took me ages to get head around it!! Totally agree 're GOOD content and hoping our curation efforts are encouraging that! Already seeing better work across the board post HF.

I love the partnership and support between these two communities. I plan to continue staking my tokens!

Thank you to both communities for all of the support you give and the work you put into taking care of your members :)

🧡🧡🧡

We are stronger together, I am so happy to see these two amazing communities coming together and that NaturalMedicine will help to spread awareness about the wonderful marketplace that was created. This is the future xxxx

Shared support is key!! Excited about helping HSCO out in this way.

Oh my... there is so much happening with all this communites thing and tokens and all... I'm liking the continuing relationship that is #naturalmedicine and #homesteaderscoop!

Congrats to everyone who has kept up on it.

Have you staked your LOTUS? About to do second air drop for stakeholders. Making you a LOTUS HOMESTEADER in NM! 🧡🧡🧡

Oooh!! Yes thanks. I think I have staked. I have to reread that post on it... doing that right now. 😁

Why they confuse us with staked instead of powerup Ill never know!
