Steemified Series: Step-by-Step tutorial on creating beneficiaries for the Author Rewards for your post using Steemwhales

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

Donate a Portion of your Author Rewards to Another

If you’ve ever wanted to give a portion of your author rewards to others, there’s a quick easy way to automatically ensure that your beneficiaries receive what you designate. You can assign a percentage of the earnings to any Steem user(s). I’ve used it before to support others, however, I have never written a tutorial on how to do it. Here is the tutorial. I hope it helps. Remember, our posts can raise badly needed funds for worthy causes.

In Support of Our Fearless Panda as He Recovers in a Portuguese Hospital

75% of the author rewards this post will be given to @fatpandadesign. This leaves me 25% to keep or invest with upvote bots like @minnowbooster, @bellyrub, etc.

Step by Step Tutorial

  • Go to https://steemwhales.com/post/
  • Create the title, press Tab button and the permalink will be automatically created for you.
  • Post your content and tags.

  • Enter your name as the author and put your posting key here.

  • Add one or more beneficiaries.

  • Designate the Steem user and the Percentage of your Author rewards you would like to give them.

  • Set the percentage of Steem Dollars. In this case, since I know our Panda could use the money and because Steem Dollars is liquid, I’m keeping it at 100%.
  • Hit the Publish button.

Techtips

  • Tip1: If you don’t press Tab after you Title your post, the permalink will be blank.
  • Tip2: There isn’t a preview mode when posting content with Steemwhales. So, if you are like me and prefer to preview before posting, I suggest you compose your post using Busy.org or Steemit.com so you can preview how your post will appear. After everything looked perfect, copy and paste your content into the Post Content section of Steemwhales and post (or publish) it from Steemwhales. Then, go back to the other site and delete or clear your content.

Wow! @littlenewthings did a fantastic job taking this tutorial and applying it to one of her posts. I love what she did. She not only showcased the fact that you can assign multiple beneficiaries to a post, but she also filled in the gaps on @fatpandadesign's health challenges. Be sure to check this link out!

You touched my heart with this Karen so much. Seriously - my faith in humanity has been restored just a little more today because of this. Karma will bless you for this act of kindness and reward you 10x fold <3

<3 Panda

Ooooh, our sweet down-but-not-out panda... so good to hear from you!!! I was away for a couple weeks and was so surprised to hear that you were in the hospital. I felt like this was a perfect thing to write about because it teaches others about a really good tool that they can use to bless others and I know that whatever it earns will help you. Rest up. Get better. Don't worry about the group. You have amazing leaders in place with @ethandsmith and @hopehuggs and others... and a community that truly cares for each other. tip! 2.0

Speedy recovery!!! 💕💖 💓 💗
tip!

Smile! Your time ain't done yet and you have great things waiting for you in the future. Get much rest and get well soon Ben! We all love you!

Update to all... the amount that should have gone to @fatpandadesign as SBD was actually sent to him in SP. Just an FYI for those of you who want to use this feature.

You just brought me to tears with this, @karencarrens....this is such a beautiful gesture. Someone mentioned something about this to me earlier and I didn't know about it until now. I feel bad throwing on one of our own group upvotes on it but....this is just such a beautiful act and honestly, this helps raise awareness that you can achieve something like this by following your method.

Thank you SO much for what you're doing for me. I'm going to spread this far and wide, and I hope others do too as well..

God bless your soul you beautiful woman <3

Panda hugs <3

Don't feel bad for throwing a group vote. Replenished. tip! 1.0

Thank you for all the shout-outs! I have really enjoyed my time on @theunmentionable I'm keeping @fatpandadesign in my thoughts and prayers for a quick and speedy recovery.

@ironshield

Thanks so much buddy. It's been great chatting with you and getting to know you, and I look forward to interacting with you in the coming days. I'm down, but not out my friend!! I'll be kickin' for a while longer, don't you worry ;)

Resteemed!

Thank you so much @clove71! That was a fun group!

oh, i have heard about this. Awesome.

Thanks again @krazykrista for everything you did to help me out tonight. )))))

Most welcome, anytime :)

This is great. Never knew about this. Thanks for the tutorial.

No problem @ghayas! Appreciate you!

Never knew about this... Thanks for the tutorial.

@boomerang distributes 100% of the SBD and up to 80% of the Curation Rewards to STEEM POWER Delegators. If you want to bid for votes or want to delegate SP please read the @boomerang whitepaper.

Wow, this is really cool. I had no idea you could do this. Thanks for the tutorial and so nice of you to give to Panda! I am hoping he recovers soon as well. :)

Hi @apanamamama! There are so many ways that this Steem blockchain can be used for good! It's going to blow people away someday when they see the impact a motivated community can make directly to their cause by cutting out the fat cat middlemen that use the majority of funds on admin costs.

Wow, so very true. Even things like gofundme take a huge chunk out. There are very few (are there any?) who actually don't take a percentage for themselves. This is a great way to do it. Thanks for the post.

You are a very kind person ! This function is really nice 👍 Havent seen any of your posts for a while how is life ?

Life is good. Work got really busy and I also spent a lot of time helping a friend finalize their flood claim from the last hurricane. We finally finished and they are relieved... and I'm back to posting. How are you?! I feel like a lot has happened with Steem so I've been getting caught up on reading posts.

Yes Steemit is changing constantly, and things happen quickly. Gladly there have been many good developments lately that leaves me feeling optimistic:)

Glad to hear you are back in the game - we need an energy rocket like you here to bring Steemit to higher highs

Hi @karrencarrens I have used Steemwhales a couple of times, but it seems to pay out in SP rather than SBD, but it's all good. Thanks for doing this for @fatpandadesign, I know he will appreciate it.

Hi sweet @hopehuggs... I have the setting set to pay in all SBD so it's all liquid. 😃

I'm must be missing something when I do it then.

Hmmm. Maybe it's a new setting. Just an fyi... the SBD to SP ratio setting is 2 fields above the publish button.
