INSTANT STEEMIT BUSINESS IDEA FROM EcoKnowme (not the Economy)steemCreated with Sketch.

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

So I have been pondering how people could IMMEDIATELY get empowered with this new AMAZING PLATFORM we are already enjoying here on Steemit.

It got me thinking,  how could people start selling things, NOW?  Sure there is @steemshop and I saw @gardenofeden 's website where people can donate to the world we would like to see.

I'm just going to use ONE example of a Product you could probably find outside, for free (seasonally) and if you are willing to do the work, you can create a simple, valuable product that people already buy online.  You can, of course, do or sell anything else.  But I just thought this would be fun, so stay with me here.....

  How To Harvest Pine Pollen    

Here are some more videos about why people use it

  How I Eat/Drink/Use Pine Pollen    

  The Benefits of Pine Pollen    


Here is a company that sells it:

SO there you go.  Now you can start selling Xmas trees, I mean firewood, I mean carved wood bowls.... no right, Pine Pollen.   Sure, why not?


If you had a friend who wanted it, who had a steemit account. you could get them to send you the value in Steem or SBD direct to your wallet and then you would send them some pollen for their smoothie or for making a tincture or whatever....

Boom.

Businesses replaced by people doing what Amazon, craigslist and Fakenook can't do yet.   Empower people to share goods and Ideas directly, freely and without rules or restrictions.  The Internet of Things transcended without needing chips in everything to track them, though you still could, if you wanted.

Add people who can get paid to move things across the country.... say travel bloggers going from one cool event or location after the other, who can take public responsibility for a few parcels and who we can all have a laugh at about how the 'shipment' being 'tracked'   was 'delayed'  due to 'processing errors'  ie there was a breakdown or a sleep in after a BBQ that we all saw on YouTube and know full well that @ned isn't getting his Pine Pollen for at least another day or two, but it's cool, it's all in the family, and we know @endlessadventure will come through in the end.  Or you just have people who communte each day from one city to the next and you all meet once to stay in touch and move cool Steemit Swag for the community and we would love you.  Like Uber, but Super.


So there is my weird idea or vision of what is possible.  Tell me I'm crazy.  Tell me why we can't just do these kinds of things..... or tell me how you would do it better, what YOU would sell, or how this could be expanded in ways we aren't even fathoming right now.



Think about it.   Then Let's Do it.  Or Something Better.

If you like the direction this idea is taking, Check out Jeremy Rifkin's Book: The Zero Marginal Cost Society

or this comprehensive VIDEO overview....  I think Steemit could be Instrumental in making such a world possible.  See for yourself, it was his idea that inspired this post.

Not a bad idea. The more I think about it, the more plausible selling good or services for Steem seems. Pine pollen, on the other hand, gotta be careful with that stuff, to much and you turn into one of these :

Oddly that kinda was the end game scenario.... Create a giant movement like Oprah or Gates, but for people who wanna just live an open source, peer-to-peer free and sustainable way of life..... phase myself out as quickly as possible so that 'work' and 'paying for food' become old timey ideas, then retreat to my mountains and master Phowa, the Tibetan art of consciously dying and transforming the corporeal form into the rainbow body. Dunno why other big cats don't focus on their end game more....
