You can share your post payouts with ANYONE using Steem. ❤️ Did you know that?
This may be old news for seasoned Steemians, but I just found out about this so I thought I'd share the information since I have a lot of brand new users following me.
Whenever a post is made on Steemit or the other popular interfaces, we usually see a Rewards box that lets us choose if we want to get our rewards as Steem Power, 50%/50%, or decline payout. My first few posts went straight to Powering Up directly upon payout.
Side Note: I learned from this article that you can get more Steem Power from the same payout sometimes and from this and this article, why.
But did you know you can give your payouts away to someone else, or to several people? Yep.
You can set Beneficiaries
to get your payouts. You can divide your payouts however you wish. The feature isn't currently available on Steemit.com without a plugin, but you can do it when you use other interfaces like @esteemapp
and @steepshot.
If you're not using a mobile app, you can still use this remarkable feature. But why would you want to? Here are some ideas:
To share post rewards with co-authors — You can use an app like https://hackmd.io/ to co-write blogs in markup. Then you can post them and share the rewards.
To give to charities or causes you agree with — For instance, you can give 5% of each post to @childfund
To help smaller accounts you may be supporting the growth of — Such as #ADOPTAMINNOW
To help grow and Power Up a second account, a friend's account, or a group account
Share post reward with people who have delegated you Steem Power
Support a project on the Steem Blockchain without directly sending money
For fundraising 💗
And much more!
If you have other ideas for this useful feature, I would love to know in the comments.
❤️ How To Share Your Post Love ❤️
I'm going to show you the two easiest ways I know how to do this. I'm sure there are far more options out there. If you could tell me of other ways this is possible, please let me know in the comments. I hope to use this feature far more in the future.
🌠🌠🌠 SteemPlus Plugin
@steem-plus is a plugin available for several browsers and works with several Steem interfaces. When you use SteemPlus on Steemit.com with Chrome Browser, you get this cool button.
Clicking the button more than once let's you add additional people to your Beneficiary list. You can divide your payouts in any ratio, up to 100%. So you could give 1% to 100 people, or 10% to 10 people.
They have a detailed tutorial here on how to use the feature.
🌠🌠🌠 SteemWhales.com
To use this feature on the web directly, all you have to do is go to
https://steemwhales.com/post/
In the same way as SteemPlus, clicking the Beneficiaries button lets you add whomever you wish to the payout list.
People have varying opinions on using Beneficiaries. I've heard that some apps use this feature (without telling you clearly) to cover development costs. I've also heard of ways that this power can be used nefariously. However, I'm a strong believer that power can also be used for good and to accomplish great things! I would rather focus on the good ways to use this feature and help it flourish.💗

We absolutely love this idea and have been asking for this for months! This has to be implemented on the desktop Steem applications as well ASAP! Pretty please :)
It would go a long way to help support onboarding and retention of new Steem members and to fundraise/crowdraise for new Steem infrastructure projects, as well as to automatically contribute to already existing registered charities around the world.
Thank you for getting the word out about this.
Thanks for your comment. This feature rocks! I just imagine Condenser is due quite a few upgrades. Let's hope it will happen after the hard fork.
Another great informative post. Thanks for doing the research and sharing @omitaylor. 🙏
I think this post got lost somewhere in my brain. I forgot all about it.
At present, I believe SteemPlus takes a small percentage for using the feature.
I don't know if the whale tools does or not.
I'm hoping this is added to interface upgrades for free.
If not, maybe one day I'll clone a version of the whale tool one day.
My task list is so long :)
It's still a great idea, especially when no access to the other accounts.
I've tried it and it worked. Steem plus took 5% but it worked fine.Thank you so much for responding @sourceoftruth
This is super cool too, Ma'am. You are putting out some FAB CONTENT that is super helpful to we newbies in your wake!
Great research, @omitaylor! Never heard of the beneficiaries option before now.
Thank you @novacadian. I tried it using SteemPlus and it worked perfectly. It took 5% for the service but it went accordingly. I'm going to try it with the other tool as well as and see how much it takes. I will get back with the results. :)
