We need the "Pay with Steem Marketplace link" on the front-page of Steemit! Adding this New Economy created on Steem will make people see a real world use to buy products

Here is my new idea of adding the "PaywithSteem.com Marketplace link" on the frond-end of Steemit.

I believe that showing people a market like Amazon or Ebay exists on the Steem Blockchain, will make them see that Steem and SBD are real currencies being used by people. If we show them this marketplace and we can explain them that it is decentralized (no private owners with stakeholders like amazon or ebay). It is a commercial hub for the steemit community.

In addition to be able to buy things, people there can buy ticket raffles to win products featured by the PaywithSteem.com team. A super feature they launched is the possibility to buy in Amazon.com add the product to the wishlist and then you can pay it with steem, and they will send it to you. According to what I read, a kind of premium needs to be payed in addition to the amazon product price, however, seems very reasonable for the hassle of converting steem to fiat and viceversa.

Here are 2 possible locations for the "PaywithSteem.com Marketplace link". I created a rough design, however, it should to be designed according the steemit style.

So, if we make it as obvious and easy as possible for any person and potential new signups that steem is not just a normal social media platform, but a disruptor creating new markets, economies, and that a current marketplace called paywithsteem.com already exists (as well as utopian-io that is disrupting the way opensource projects are funded, and many other developments such as the SMTs that will monetize the entire web), this visitors will definitely want to give it a try on the platform.

This can be an interesting capturing element, to make this people want to learn more about the steem blockchain, and come to steemit to also learn about cryptocurrency, and thus start spreading the word on steemit, making an enourmouos communication effect, speaking and blogging about Steemit on the other media platforms they are already using.

I think that having the "PaywithSteem.com Marketplace link" at the top in the front-end of steemit, where people will see it, and when they click on it, they can be taken to a page/post, were the following is covered (This can be done with a few videos and written content explaining):

1- Would you buy/sell or participate on raffles? Here is everything explained.
2- How to buy in amazon?
3- Which countries are available for shipping and what will be added in the future?
4- What is steem and steemit (for potential users)
5- What is steemit (for potential users)
6- What is Utopian-io, who can contribute on it, how to use it
[For this one we can use the great introduction that "aggroed" created: https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@aggroed/utopian-io-tutorial]
It is important to make people learn about Utopian-io too, due to the reason Utopian-io is a disruptive way of making creative people help the whole steem ecosystem grow. It will act as another motivator for people to want to start on steemit, in order to submit their first contribution. At the time they can publish their first contribution and are finally rewarded, they will definitely see how this works, and will spread the word without a doubt.

7- How you earn rewards on utopian-io and steemit
8- How you can convert steem or sbd rewards into bitcoin, ethereum and litecoin or other crypto, and finally into fiat
9- Any other important features that will help people learn this is true, and that to get the real impression that the steem blockchain and steemit are an open and very helpful community, whose aim is to enpower people, return the control to them, leaving banks and governments on the side.

The 2 main reasons for adding the "PaywithSteem.com Marketplace link" are:

Reason 1:
It will attract potential users that don't believe on cryptocurrencies, it will get the attention of many steemians that earn rewards already and did not know that PaywithSteem.com Marketplace exists. This will be another great feature to increase the capturing percentage of people. More signups percentage towards amount of visitors.

Reason 2:
Showing the "PaywithSteem.com Marketplace link" on the front-end of the steemit powerful platform, will provide the platform with another self-understanding feature (in this case the connection to a new economy generated), that will finally help increase the number of people who want to try the platform.
People use platforms and other things in life for a reason. Each person has its own reason. So if we open this with its huge amount of possibilities, we are adding reasons for different targets to come to steemit.
And the more reasons we give people to try the platform, the greater the amount that will try it.

Hope this idea is interesting for you as it is for me. And as always, your suggestions, thoughts, comments are welcome, to enrich the idea, and even get new ideas to make steem and steemit a better place every day.

What are your thoughts on this steemians/utopians?
