How to Buy products with Steem Dollars

in #howto8 years ago (edited)

Now this is AWESOME!

You make Steem Dollars by posting on Steemit then exchange those to bitcoin and use bitcoin to buy products on Skinny Body Care.

About Skinny Body Care

Skinny Body Care was founded by Ben Glinsky in 2011 to provide people around the world with innovative high quality life changing products that work. While at the same time giving people the opportunity if they wish to create a life changing income.

Life Changing Products that Work!

Special Offers

With Skinny Body Care all products are priced the same at $59.95 USD. If you buy any 2 you get 1 FREE and if you buy any 3 you get 3 FREE.

Becoming a Distributor

Skinny Body Care has all the tools, websites and training to help you be successful as a distributor. There are no inventory or the need to purchase products for resale. Simply share your referral link with others. To be a Distributor there is a one time $10 activation fee. For that $10 you will be mailed a very nice distributors kit with brochures, training CDs and other materials.

The Skinny Body Care pay plan is very generous and you're able to earn commissions with each new customer or distributor and also for their reorders. You can learn more here.

The requirement to be an active distributor and receive commissions is ordering at least one product a month. Many companies like this charge for websites and other things but with Skinny Body Care that is all included.

This is amazing if you think of the cost of doing another business. Skinny Body Care is like a business in a box at an amazing low cost. This allows anyone to have a chance to create a life changing income.

Moving Steem Dollars to Exchange

After making enough Steem Dollars on steemit you can exchange those to bitcoin following the steps below:

If you don't have an exchange account yet then create one at: http://poloniex.com which many people here on steemit use.

  • In Poloniex click on Balances then Deposits & Withdrawals.
  • Type in SBD in the search box and under Actions click on the Deposit link.
  • Copy the address text in the Memo box. Example: 1a2345678cd90asb
  • In Steemit go to your Wallet and click on the dollar amount for Steem Dollars and select Transfer.
  • In the To field type: poloniex (must be in all lowercase)
  • In the Amount field type in the amount of Steem Dollars you wish to transfer.
  • In the Memo field paste the same address text as copied above and press the Transfer button.
  • To Authenticate put in your Steemit Active or Owner password and press the Sign button.
  • After about 10 minutes go to Poloniex and click on the Balances tab and select History and see if the transaction is complete.

Exchange SBD (steem dollars) to BTC (bitcoins)

So now you have Steem Dollars sitting in your Poloniex exchange account. This is like a bank where you can keep a number of crypto-currencies on deposit and play the market or you can simply exchange your Steem Dollars to Bitcoin so you can spend it at Skinny Body Care.

  • In Poloniex click on the Exchange tab.
  • In the MARKETS box click on the BTC tab and in the search field type SBD and click on Steem Dollars.
  • In the SELL SBD box you should have the amount that you transferred displayed.
  • The Price is the amount that someone was willing to sell Bitcoins for and you can change this amount if you want. If you want to try to get a better price go down to TRADE HISTORY and see what the most recent trades were. Most recent is at the top. If you want to sell your SBD quickly then look at the top of the BUY SBD box. The best deal for you is at the top. Also take in consideration the number of SBD they want to buy. You might need to buy from multiple people.
  • Once you have the Price typed in and Amount click Sell. Once your order sells then you will have a balance of BTC (Bitcoins).

Getting Started and Ordering Products with Bitcoin

Now comes the fun part. Actually buying real, life changing products with bitcoin. Whoohoo! This is like getting free products!

  • Click Skinny Body Care
  • Then click on Order Now
  • If you would like to be a Distributor which cost only $10 more click on the DISTRIBUTOR tab.
  • Fill out your email, password and think of a username. If you are a distributor then this would be part of your referral link.
  • Select one of the product options: Buy 1, Buy 2 get 1 free or Buy 3 get 3 free.
  • Fill out your Shipping Address and click Continue to Payment Page.

Pay with Bitcoin

  • Once on Payment Options select Pay using Coinbase and then Continue. (You don’t need a coinbase account and you can pay using any bitcoin wallet or exchange).
  • Make sure your Shipping information is correct and click Submit Order.
  • Be sure that USE BITCOIN ADDRESS is selected and click on the Address that is shown. Some wallets allow you to simply use your wallet’s smartphone app to read the QR Code.
  • If you get an Address not understood browser page you can use this to copy the Address. The Address needs to be entered exactly or else the money is lost forever with no way to retrieve it so you need to make sure the Address matches. You don’t want to type it in. In the Address bar in the browser highlight after bitcoin: and before the ?amount. This is the bitcoin Address you need to send bitcoin to. Right click and select Copy.
  • In Poloniex click on BALANCES then DEPOSITS & WITHDRAWALS.
  • In the search box type btc and for the Bitcoin line click Withdraw.
  • Paste the Address that you copied into the Address field. Poloniex charges a small transaction fee of .0001 btc (which is about $.06 USD) so you need to add that into the amount that Skinny Body Care is asking. You can go back to the ?amount= information where you copied the address and copy the amount and paste it in the Amount field and add the .0001 fee. For my purchase Skinny Body Care wanted 0.116976 bitcoins so I added the fee and changed it to .117076. The amount of course depends on the exchange rate and how many products you purchased. Just make sure that the total that will be sent matches what Skinny Body Care is expecting.
  • Go back to the Skinny Body Care screen and make sure you still have at least 5 minutes time left before you hit the Withdraw button. If you took too long just cancel the Skinny Body Care screen and try again. Be sure the address didn’t change.

After hitting Withdraw it took a few minutes for Skinny Body Care to get the payment but there you go. After doing this a few times it gets easier. You might want to bookmark this page to refer back to.

If you became a distributor by using my referral link I will contact you with a welcome email to help you get started.

I will be honest, I hate products like that. They do not encourage people to change their lifestyle but just to eat some products instead which magically will help them become skinny. I'd rather they would teach people how to eat healthy and be physically active...

Skinny Body Care is not just for weight management. They have skin care and a new fitness energy drink mix with no sugar. All products are with quality ingredients and now people are able to buy them with steem dollars via bitcoin which is awesome!

Totally agree with you @caminito
That's why I studied Personal training so I can help people change their fitness and lifestyle. No magic pill actually works.... I will be posting some workouts soon on steemit :-)

that's a lot of stuff you can buy with steem dollars.

Am just needing increased energy,
No need For diets,
Back in My younger days
Little Debbies Were My Fave!

Anns, fancy bumping into u here. I just wrote a post and linked one of you older posts in it. I think you will it.

I Read That One.
Thank-You!
Steem On!

Anns, the E3 might be what you're looking for. If you're not getting good sleep then the HiBurn8 is an awesome product to help you sleep better which can of course give you more energy during the day. Oh I never heard of Little Debbies before but I googled them and yummy. I used to love those things too as a kid. These days I'm sure I put on a few pounds just for looking at them ;)

Thanks

You don't really take steem dollars, you take bitcoin. Why not just accept steem dollars directly?

The company uses Coinbase as their processor which accepts bitcoin. My "how to" is showing how you can buy these products using your steem dollars. Not many companies yet accept crypto currencies and so this is unique that you don't need to convert it to cash and go through the banking system.
