Businesses on the STEEM blockchain are becoming real - Earning Steem tokens without blogging
My Steem Mug arrived 16 days after I ordered it.
I thought that was pretty fast considering it had to be made and shipped from the United States to the Netherlands.
I paid for it with Steemdollars from a store called Steemporium.
What I like about Steemporium is that a big part of the profits from the mug go to the creators of the art that is used on the products that they sell.
The mug looks great. The artwork is part of the mug and not some cheap sticker that is glued on.
It's quality as far as mugs go.
After paying the creator of my Exyle logo with Steem dollars this is the second time I used Steem dollars to buy goods and services on the blockchain.
It's really nice to buy these goods and services with cryptocurrency that I earned on the STEEM blockchain without converting it to any other currency.
I can also find these services and stores right here on the STEEM blockchain and I think in the future there will be many more.
The box looked a little beat up when it arrived so I had some worries.
After opening it I saw it was fine. It was thickly wrapped in bubble plastic.
The lines are from the light, not the mug itself
Earning Steem tokens without blogging
I don't think that everyone on the Steem blockchain will be able to earn Steem tokens on the Steem blockchain through the creation of content.
There is a limited reward pool and the numbers of users are growing.
But by showcasing these examples of early STEEM blockchain business pioneers I'm hoping to show that there are more ways than one to earn cryptocurrency on the STEEM blockchain.
I like to support these endeavours as much as I can because I believe they give tremendous value to the whole platform.
I believe in the future the Steem blockchain will become a social-economic platform where there is room for the creation of content but also room for businesses and the offering of services with the use of the Steem dollar as a currency.
I think that's great.

Yay!
I'm glad you're happy with the product.
In case you were wondering...we pay the artists 85% of the profits. Obviously we have to make some profit for running the business, but we've gone out of our way to make sure it's the amazing artists we work with that make the lions share.
We are getting more products uploaded everyday and expect to have all of our current products available by next week (had some delays due to my house getting rocked by Hurricane Irma). As soon as we get the rest of the products up, we will be opening the music section of the store.
We really appreciate your business and we're glad you liked the mug!
Being all products are printed to order and we were shipping to the Netherlands from the US, you're right, 16 days wasn't too long of a wait.
Thanks again!
Btw...scanning the QR code on the mug, takes you directly to the artists profile on steemit.
@steemporium
85% is a lot! Wow, very generous. I'm happy with my mug but even happier with seeing businesses on the Steem blockchain! Thank you.
Business and charities on the Steem blockchain are a massive growth area - let's do this!
Good to see you Steemin on !!!! still waiting for the free QC Steemit T-Shirt !, (Just kiddin) lmao ! great to be back on and see you rockin! Talk to you soon on discord ! Keep up the GOOD work bro !!!
Read More, Reason More ... JTS
I think it's awesome you're really showing the incredible opportunity Steem presents for businesses on the block chain. We're getting a glimpse of how commerce can and will be transacted in the future.
When you stop and think about it, it just makes too much sense. Being able to complete business transactions from around the world in a mutually accepted currency with no fees on the Steem block chain is incredibly easy and adds tremendous value to the platform as a whole. Your efforts to promote this utility is very important and cannot be understated. What other crypto has a working use case to promote this capability? As time goes on and more and more people understand the true capabilities of Steem, I can't fathom how it can not increase dramatically in value.
Great job brother and have a great weekend and enjoy your time with baby Sam!
Wow awesome mug @exyle, really the color and art work on mug is awesome, well no doubt these little developments really strengthened the steemit community and i am glad that now we can use our SBD to buy products online line through steemporium and it's also nice to hear that steemporium also giving the profit of the mug to creators of the art hence creating a win win situation and this the way to get huge success in any business, well no doubt we will see more and more plateforms like steemporium soon, thanks for sharing.
Oh my, that's so cool.
I love the idea of buying things with steem dollars - some how it just seems so right to pass them around!
I bet you were worried when you saw the damaged box though!!
It was a bit more dented than I liked it to be, lol. But it was all good!
Yes I believe the same, that the future is in the economical side. Maybe because I dont manage to have a lot of SBD just from writing I envision a more familiar future :D Thanks so much for the example, I need a mug at the office :)
@exyle,
Wow that would be awesome! And I think we can use SBD instead of USD in near future! Actually this is a pretty amazing work and a best opportunity to sell products in steemit platform!
Cheers~
Lol, that is a really cool mug, I am gonna check them out!
I think ventures of this type are also needed to be able to grow the value of Steem. The cryptocurrency has a lot more value when you can use it as a method of exchange for real world goods and services.
nice post, well finally the mug is arrived that's great and i really like the art work on the mug it's looks like a sort of whale eating everything, steemporium is no doubt a fantastic induction to steemit blockchain as we can now buy products online with SBD, these things really increasing the potential and growth of steem blockchain and it really benefits the whole steemit community, it also looks like little sam is also happy with the arrival of mug, enjoy your weekend with little sam.
It's a whale with a serving tray full of upvotes for a few hungry minnows.
Absolutely @exyle, imagine if steem.shop just gets bigger and bigger and have a huge inventory just like Amazon! I am waiting for that time and I'm sure, it will come soon!
We're working on it 😉
You got it! @ghulammujtaba all down the line for sure.
