DESPITE the fact that the #BonsaiCommunity is growing on Steemit, some of the Steemians who post content relevant to the #BonsaiCommunity receive little upvotes which actually provide an income and sadly, some get demotivated like this.
We love bonsai, horticulture, gardening and whatever else there is that fits into the categories I've previously listed - check the details at the end of this article.
Since I started participating in @thedarkhorse's curation contest - thanks go out to @honeysim for introducing me -, I have somewhat adopted the #PayItForward mentality and as such, I have now come up with an idea how I too, can Pay It Forward within our growing community and I hope you will do the same if, and when you are able.

Simply put, not that long ago, thanks to an entry into the curation contest, I was also enrolled into the @steembasicincome system thanks to @lynncoyle1 - it only costs you 1 Steem, and you also benefit by enrolling someone.
Through enrollment, you are assured a basic income on all your posts and of course, the more people you enroll, the more you benefit.
Be sure to check out @steembasicincome to see just how this works.
Now, why would I start enrolling Steemians?
Simply put, my upvote at present is literally worth nothing to all Steemians because I have not accumulated enough Steem Power as yet so, I wanted to 'make my vote count' in another way.
When I am able to - two Steemians have already been enrolled - I will be enrolling members of the #BonsaiCommunity | #TeamBonsai | #TeamHorticulture into this great reward system one by one, as they appear in the list from left to right.
I have received upvotes which have actually paid out into my wallet from these members and yet, my upvote sadly had no effect so, this is my way of giving back where I am able to and this process will be repeated, time and time again once my further Steem payouts come in - so rest assured that everyone will be enrolled eventually.
I also see this as a way of encouraging future #BonsaiCommunity | #TeamBonsai | #TeamHorticulture members into perhaps doing the same with Steemians they find worthy.
Initially, I came to Steemit to make money but since then, I have found that in order to continue growing, we need to also look out for other Steemians and not just ourselves.
The best part, you can now through @steembasicincome at least expect to receive some sort of payout as opposed to nothing - isn't that great? Knowing that the level of hard work you put into your post will now at least receive something.
The very best part comes in when you discover that the more people you enroll, the better your payouts on your posts will be as well.
@steembasicincome explains this all in detail so, if you would like to check out how the system works, have a look on the their account.
