A showcase for Steemit artists, crafters, writers, makers. Soon online!
Something is growing again in the Steemverse in the last week. Daily data for posts, comments and new accounts are rising again, it seems (well, I'm not sure if it is a temporary peak or a trend).
The last announcement from the Marketing Team has been a push, perhaps. Some proposals and ideas recently posted got attention from the little Steemit community. It is a very good thing :)
So, I'm going to announce our (@silviabeneforti 's and mine) website to showcase art items from Steemit artists, crafters, makers.
Steemarket
Steemarket will be online in the next few days, as a showcase where Steemit users will be allowed to put their paintings, drawings, sculptures, photograph prints, digital art, sculptures, artistic objects and so on.
At first, it will be just a showcase. Not a shop. A listing of items to be sold using SteemDollars as currency. The core of the project is that: create an opportunity to use Steem as a real currency to buy things. We want to promote art items created by Steemit users and to show them to other Steemit users. The sales will happen among seller and buyer, in their wallets.
Hints and suggestions are welcomed :)
(This project started some weeks ago, so it is perhaps late to propose it in the "protocol form" introduced by @andrarchy and @zurvanic. Maybe not. We are launching our webside anyway, but a support from Steemit Inc would be nice :) )
Stay tuned! :)
Congrats for the initiative and good luck!
thx. We will see how the community will take it :)
Great! Thank you! How will this work exactly...?
Thx! We'll have a website to showcase artworks and creative stuff from steemians, so to promote and share them. Please, be patient for some other day and we'll post an announcement and guide for it! :)
Great! Thanks!!!
welcome ;)
:)
I hope I won't miss the notification (post) about it... :)
we will make a lot of spamming of it :D
Haha, good! :D
This is great! I know some artists who will be very interested in this. Resteemed :)
Hope we can find a way to work together in some way...
thx very much. I think we can surely collaborate.
I also hope to have more artists from my network joining steemit. :)
and
I am fully support that. One thing I am afraid is... whether people spread around whole World would be actually able to not only buy stuff, but also do shipping which will not be too expensive.
I thought about that a lot, and I have a theory.. that at the beginning maybe it would be easier to focus on.. .services, which can be delivered remotely.
What do you think?
Offering services is an option I'm thinking about too - still in art. But I'm not worried about shipping cost: I have been selling on Artfinder, Saatchi, etsy and ebay for a while, and I saw how people manage it. Shipping costs have to be clearly specified for different world zones, so that the buyer can evaluate it and pay it when he decides to buy an item.
Very Cool, looking forward to see where this goes!
thx! :)
