Here's something that's been bugging me for awhile. Ever since I've been actively blogging on LeoFinance, my engagement and posting in other communities has gone down.
It's not just LeoFinance that takes more of my time and attention. There's the Weed Cash Network that I've been trying to post to with more frequency on my @love4nugs account. And on this account, I recently staked in to Sports Talk Social and wrote my first blog there.
But What About My Roots?
When I first started on Steemit, my posts were lost in a sea of earnings. I was lucky if I earned more than fifteen cents on an article.
I kept at it while quickly losing hope until I received a comment from @jaynie, who leads the PowerHouseCreatives community. Back then, it was a community known as the Steemitbloggers.
My decision to join that community is the only reason I stuck around. At the rate my earnings were going, I wouldn't have lasted long. The Steemitbloggers offered exposure to a smaller focused group where I wasn't lost in the crowd.
My earnings weren't great, as I had just started my stake and had near to no vote power. But they grew and were much better than they had been going it alone.
LeoFinance Enables Post Beneficiaries To Whomever You Care To Support
Short of picking up writing momentum and posting more often, this is a great solution to that which has been bothering me. I can continue to post with regularity on LeoFinance while still watering my roots, so to speak.
Another fantastic feature about setting a post beneficiary on LeoFinance is you can pin it to whatever percentage you want. You can add as many beneficiaries to a post as you like, and remove them just as easily.
Before I show how easy this is to do, I'll give one word of warning. Once you set and save your post beneficiaries, they won't stay that way. Don't forget to change them the next time you publish if that's what you want to do.
In the PowerHouseCreatives community, I can set them for every article. Why? Because they accept posts of most any subject matter. I'll still need to remember to set it with each new post. You may want to change your beneficiaries with each post too, so don't forget.
You may not have any beneficiaries you want to add at all....and that's okay. But for those that do, it only takes a few quick actions. Here's how I did it.
Open Up Your Post Editor To Begin Writing
At the bottom of the post editor, next to where you add your post tags, is a gear symbol. The common symbol for tools on a dApp. Click or tap that symbol.
You will land on the tools page but still have one more page to open. You can see the Beneficiary Tool from the tools page. Just click or tap on the little people to open it.
Now you've landed on the page where you can set or change your beneficiaries. Navigation is simple here. Add a beneficiary by using the green '+' tab. Remove them by way of the red 'X' tab.
When you go to add a beneficiary, type in the account username (check your spelling). Right beside that is a box to set the percent of the post earnings you want to contribute.
As you can see, I have two beneficiaries set to 2.5% each. One to LeoFinance & the other to the Steemitbloggers. PowerHouseCreatives still uses their old Steemitbloggers account, so that's where the HIVE will go.
Edited: It's not LEO but HIVE that is contributed.
And that's it! Glad that isn't bugging me anymore!
Thanks for reading and as always...
