Use Steem Dollars and Steem Power to buy items...maybe.
Hey guys, I have been doing some research about getting a store that allows buyers and sellers to use Steem. I am not saying for sure that I will be doing this, but if I am able to do it, how many of you would be interested in having a storefront to sell your wares, whether it is seed, plants, beehives, books...truth is, whatever you want to sell, and sell it for bitcoin, Steem Power, or Steem Dollars, as well as U.S. Dollar.
Steem has been one of the most unique social media experiments I have seen. I cannot think of any format that encourages everybody to go out of their way to promote one another. This has been a great experience for me and my family. Now I think it is time to put Steemit on the map by providing an eStore or mall where each of you could join, receiving your own storefront, customize that storefront, and sell what you want, and using Steem as a form of payment.
I don't want to get hopes up too much, but I am currently researching and working on a solution for this problem, but before I get to far into it, I want to know how much interest there would be.
This sounds like a really good idea. I like the idea of using steem dollars to buy goods or services.
I personally don't have anything to offer to sell, at least at this point. With that being said having a place to go to spend Steem Dollars...that I would be interested in.
There is actually already a marketplace that offers shopping/selling with Steem - https://www.peerhub.com/
I was gonna say this! :) Way to be on top of things!
I try lol ;)
I did not see this before. Thank you @kiaraantonoviche. I did look at peerhub, and it looks like you have to sign in using your facebook account. I would like to have one where people can go and look and purchase without having to join another outside media. The one I was looking at doing is very expensive, and, at least at this point, I am not seeing that very many people would be very interested. I may change my mind and do it later if more people seem interested.
Sounds really neat to me! Would make it easier to exchange steem for goods and services!
Thank you for getting this out. @myhomesteaded
I am not necessarily rolling it out for sure. I would really like to, if there is enough interest. What I am looking at doing is quite expensive (at least for me) and I would love to do it as well, but we will have to see what happens.
Amazing... @myhomesteaded Motivating and it makes me happy to see hard work and determination prevail. Love it.
I have no experience with it, but I came across a WordPress plug-in that will allow one to accept Steem for payments. It's called WooCommerce and was developed by @recrypto. Here's a post from someone using it, just fyi -

Thank you for the info. I will be looking into it.
My two cents...
Steem would be better to buy digital merchandize....it's that shipping thang.
That was great idea bro.It will help alot of people,it was very informative..
Great article..GOD BLESS!
the eSteem app allows for transferring Steem.
Im planning on using it for egg and produce sales next spring.
That is awesome. I will be looking into that. Maybe instead of spending a lot of money on fancy development I will just look into what side apps are available, test them out, and let the homesteaders know about them.
