You Can Use Steemit To Transform Your Community Today!! #steemit

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

After reading @benslayton's post, @steemship's post and @jennamarbles' post, my eyes were open to the wider uses of Steem.

I realised that I could leverage Steem today to influence governance at the community level!

Make a detailed blog post outlining a community problem, and how you intend to use the rewards that your post accrue to solve the problem. 

For example:

-  Bins in your local community within your council/town not getting collected due to budget cuts from the central state or even from the wider council/town? 

You can pledge to use the rewards from your blog post to fund private refuse collection!

- Low educational opportunities for children in your area? 

You can pledge to use the rewards from your blog post to fund private tutors and to rent a space for children to be taught in!

- Is homelessness rampant within your community?

You can pledge to use the rewards from your blogpost to fund a Food Bank! 

- Are certain members of your community plagued with debt?

Leverage Steemit to crowdfund debt repayment!

And so on...

This is something very feasible, that can be achieved right now!

All it takes is the will.

I've created a group on 'Social Steemit' called 'Our Community' where those who are interested in Communal Care can  convened to discuss approaches to collectively improve our communities.

If you haven't heard of 'Social Steemit' I recommend you read this post.


Gradually we can change the world, and it starts at the community level!

exactly! You deserve an up vote buddy :)

This initiative could help a lot of people around the world. The approach would be something like a kickstarter. The one who post might need some valid proof to make people believe his/her purpose. The internet is full of different kinds of people.

You pick the right nickname man, POSITIVE and I believe that people who think positive... are attracting good and positive things around them.

Thanks a lot bro!

Very possitive propossals, i promise to do some it if someday i get something (upvoted by a whale)

I have 3 more new logins on my http://socialsteemit.com thanks to you.

I did a write up this morning about something similar. ( my new writeup would appreciate if you guys took a look https://steemit.com/steemit/@calaber24p/steemit-is-poised-to-rival-kickstarter) We can use Steem to to help like we would on kickstrarter or kiva. We can give to charities and it wouldnt cost anything but an upvote.

trying to do similar thing in one community, but its not going easy.

What's made it difficult?

mostly people dont trust for easy money and new technologies.
