Having non-monetary rewards like badges is great idea. People like collecting stuff and showing it off to others. Having achievements would work well. Also giving SP levels is great too. People would like having a title to their level for example silver,gold,platinum SP.

Without money for these tasks people will simply go with better more established sites. It's the money that makes Steem stand out. People who are doing something for free and find out their activities are worth money are way more likely to spend more time on Steem than those other places. The point is that influence is currency once you come up with an algorithm to translate it into something liquid and spendable.
So perhaps people with badges who have used Steem for a long period of time can be able to participate in new ways to make money before the newbies.
