The potential is just HUGE... Venezuela is the perfect example of how Steemit have such huge impact on people's life... There are more and more Venezuelan people surviving thanks to Steemit, you can see them playing for openmic and other contests... For my self Steemit is currently my main income, although i do have other incomes as a music freelancer, sometimes i earn more in Steemit by posting my songs and videos...

In a poor and corrupt country like Indonesia, we as the people are very difficult to meet the needs of life. I work on a government-owned college campus as a staff, my monthly income is only US $ 130, poor living needs per day US $ 8. Steemit is a hope to meet the shortage of living expenses, but getting a reward in steemit is not easy. Heavier fighting in steemit than working real. For people who have a high SP, get a reward is very easy. Moreover, the minnows are trying to get the attention of the whale, but whale remains cool while laughing at the minnows.
Steemit is not an easy way, steemit is only for investors.

I don't think the whales are laughing at you. They may just be oblivious to the plight of others, but some want to make Steemit do good. There are lots of people from Indonesia on Steemit. They can work together to support each other in many ways. If you work on ways to get more people onto Steemit then I'm sure you will get support. You have to think about what value your content has for other people. There are plenty of contests and challenges you can use to get attention.

I realize it has not worked optimally. Some of us make a community of students and employees. But when they make a post no one appreciates, some of them have stopped. I will not stop despite living alone.
I also have a contest, maybe not lucky.

Man, 130$ a month is like being rich here! lol... My income as a physic teacher in the most important university in my country is about 2$ a month... you really dont know how is it to be in a poor country... Most people from my country will be happy with earning 10$ a month in steemit...

We've been operating @YouAreHOPE here on steem for the better part of a year and reached thousands of desperate people in a dozen countries with Help, Opportunity, Purpose & Empowerment (HOPE) around the world since we began.
We vet the people and the projects and publish transparent delivery results for every single mission. It's been amazingly successful.
Learn more from our blog, @YouAreHOPE which is not as well kept up to date as the news channel in our discord, but we are getting stuff done in a transparent and highly effective way every day here.
I hope you'll find the time to take a look.

Yep, he's been a benefactor to YAH for many months. The dollar a day campaign grew out as an extension from his initial contributions to YouAreHOPE if I recall correctly last fall.

It think Steemit/Steem is the platform that indeed really can make a difference. I really think you are a great example of a social involved Steemian... Thinking about others instead of yourself... A lot could learn from that... I'm following your example in the way I look at the motivs of people, background and how they are activly involved on steemit... For now I only gave some SBI shares, but I am going to do more for others, just because it feels right and that I am in the same privileged situation that for me Steemit isn't a extra income that I need... And I don't mean that the arrogant way.. :)

Awesome to read about the benefits Steemit offers, motivating! I've managed to keep being able to do art full time thanks to Steemit. I was close to throwing in the towel, at least for a while, to get a job when Steemit came into the picture and now I'm earning just enough on here to stay afloat full time doing my art!

Charities can be difficult to vet. I agree with that. The good thing about Steemit is you are not really losing anything if you upvote for support. Sure, you lose a little VP, but that regenerates. You might lose a little respect if you promote something that ends up not being legit, but again, mistakes happen and you can gain that back. These are some great initiatives that you have presented though. I agree with you about what Steemit can do for different people. I was head in the clouds when I first joined thinking I could be rolling in the money. Now I realize that probably will never be the case. I'd just like to save up enough to buy a nice used truck for my wife and I. Thanks for sharing this post!

I agree completely. Steemit is a platform that can offer so much more than making money. It is a way for us to alter the path of humanity and help usher in the Age of Abundance.
There are many who are suffering who are earning STEEM to help pay the bills. That is wonderful. While wealth creation is better, it is easy to understand how so many arent afforded that luxury. They need the money today.
The more people who are helped out by this platform, the better. There are so many ways to do it. Even an upvote to someone in a 3rd world country can make a difference for that person.

All it takes to make a difference is simply an upvote on a post you like. I use the funds I get on Steemit to be able to purchase things I need for our little homestead. Supporting charities within Steemit is a big plus.

This is one of the big kicks I get from curating. I have what I've been told are diverse interests and every once in a while I'll see a notice in @ginabot that I've connected two people who might not have otherwise done so (as a fictitious but realistic example, a homesteader finding and bartering with digital artist). It's a very gratifying feeling whenever that happens.

It was one of my Tsu friends who brought me to Steemit. I've stayed in touch with a few Tsuvians here. It's a shame that service collapsed. They had good intentions, but couldn't make it viable.
