Benefaction - Introduction

Screen Shot 2018-08-05 at 2.26.34 pm.png

There exists many accounts on this platform that are here to make money, that is not my goal. The variety of blogs of Steemit extends quite far, and today I would like to add to that variety.

To put it simply I want to make posts to bring attention and raise awareness of the good being done in the world.

My aim is to write feel good articles of humans doing good in the world and helping those who need it. Articles will range from positive news, to case stories, to charity reviews and insights.

For obvious reasons (all those scammers out there) this isn't a charity funding page so I don't want any donations sent here, rather this is a normal blog that posts about charity and charitable things. Maybe one day down the track I can use SP to help out blogs with charitable intentions and hopefully run some Steemit community crowdfunding charity events.

For now I hope to get into blog posting and even if only one person sees them, that'll be a win in my books. Please if you have any suggestions of charities or feel good stories you want to see written about please don't hesitate to let me know in the comments.

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the rest of your day

Welcome to Steemit benefaction. Let me know if you got any questions about Steem or anything related to it! The official FAQ can be found here and has A LOT of information https://steemit.com/faq.html - Also remember, Steemit is just ONE of the sites built that uses Steem the blockchain. We also have DTube - our very own Youtube, DSound for Soundcloud and Steepshot if you prefer Instagram like experience. I'd also like to mention ChainBB - forums, Busy - Steemit with more modern look basically, DMania for memes and Dlive for streaming just like in Twitch! You can also earn Steem by gaming now! Search for Steemgar if that's more your thing. Welcome to the blockchain! :)

Hello benefaction! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
Have Fun and Enjoy!

Good luck on your Steem journey! Follow us if you like to receive more helpful tips and maximize your Steemit experience.

Welcome to Steem Community @benefaction! As a gentle reminder, please keep your master password safe. The best practise is to use your private posting key to login to Steemit when posting; and the private active key for wallet related transactions.

In the New Steemians project, we help new members of steem by education and resteeeming their articles. Get your articles resteemed too for maximum exposure. You can learn more about it here: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@gaman/new-steemians-project-launch
