All major social media platforms have their own groups where users exchange services, offers, and orders for various products and services, as well as announce their readiness to work or willingness to hire someone's services.
Why should Blurt be any different?
The idea is spontaneous and arose from the desire to introduce greater usability to our platform.
Usability comes from whether social media users find what they are looking for in a given place. And what many people are looking for on the internet are definitely business opportunities.
My latest SEMrush analyses showed that the blurt.blog website is visited on average by up to 100,000 visitors*, of which 1,300 are registered and active.
Additionally, Blurt works well in link building, so if you post a link to your service on an external website, it can also help.
It's not Facebook-level, but a small crowd has its advantages. One of them is that if we announce something, there may be more interest in a small group that is the only one in the entire network than in one of thousands of groups on other social media.
Each of us does something, sells something, advertises somewhere, or tries to reach people with something. Sometimes it doesn't even have to be a product or service, but simply a desire to announce your initiative.
An additional advantage that the Blurt network gives us is the ability to settle for services directly in Blurt currency.
I encourage everyone to experiment. Add something from yourself, even if you don't believe it will have an effect.
In the worst case, even if nothing comes of it, as is often the case with blurt, you will still get upvotes for your Adv. 🙃 Definately from my side, so lets go :)

Lets blurt become also place for socialmedia marketing!
Yes, one thing Blurt needs is a way for users to connect for transactions. It would be great to have some way to conduct business other than simply making posts about things you want to buy, sell, or trade.
For example, we have members around the world. I'm currently looking for more Ivermectin, which I use to keep my family healthy from viruses and parasites. It is not illegal in Canada, but is not sold here. I would like to pay in BLURT and receive the Ivermectin directly from someone who livers where it is easy and cheap to get. Last time, I got it from a member in Thailand. The time before, Israel. But it took several posts to get the transaction done, and I paid about $1000 for a $20 box of tablets. Hopefully we can figure out a way to conduct transactions that is faster, easier, and more efficient than that.
I feel that naming a community "market" is a very quick solution that doesn't really improve the situation very much. It's perhaps a temporary and partial measure. Ultimately a marketplace would likely be a whole section of the blockchain, requiring developers and a budget. But a market community is within our reach immediately. Although I generally don't like using communities, I have subscribed to this one, and will work on a post about finding someone to ship me a box of Ivermectin. Thanks : )
Whaaaaaaaaaat ?
Why didn't you just order from Luce? ...
How much did it work out last time ?
...off memory.... $60 or summat ?, (with exorbitant postage).....for 10 packs of 10 pills ????
(no need to answer).
...I think she's picking up a stack of 'em for someone else in a week or so if you're struggling.
.....It's also good way for you to unload useless tokens before it all disappears to zero value.
(I can take the blurt for her and change it into something useful).
I see the first deals being made. and that's what I'm talking about. Post your ad on the market @drutter and maybe you'll have something to choose from :)
This has nothing to do with any new 'market place', just a conversation from previous conversations.
You need people for market to work.
There are no people, nor will there ever be, just a diminishing ecosystem built around corrupt practices (in the psychological sense).
I can say with 99% certainty the reason for DPoS NEVER working as it is now - is the psychological abuse that comes from the very way it's built.
If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, and talks like a duck, the chances are - it's a friggin' duck.
If the mechanics of platform empower and encourage the negative dark aspects of the human psyche - most mentally healthy individuals will find it repugnant.
....and the masochists among us, with a sense of morals and ethics, will hang around trying to alter something that that those in power have no incentive to alter.
( moral structures that are incongruent with societies values in general, or just personality disorders, whatever).
No matter the reason, it's basically fucked.
If you are talking about greed, venality and the desire for power, there is no need to encourage anything. This happens practically everywhere on the Internet and I would say that DPOS without downvotes rather discourages it because there is less chance of abuse and the fact that you cannot moderate and remove someone's content additionally discourages all fans of imposing their worldview on other people.
My theory is that this is why we don't have more people on Blurt, because what most attracted many people to this hive was the same opportunity to moderate and condemn.
This gave many people the motivation to invest heavily in hive or steem. And this is especially true for the wealthy, whose basic aspirations, such as meeting their basic needs, have long been satisfied and were replaced by higher-level aspirations, i.e. the desire to exercise power over others.
As for shareholding, wars for control over the platform or manipulation, in virtually every joint-stock company, such as FB, you also have this, with the difference that only a select few take part in it and the users of the platform have not the slightest chance for anything because they are goods and not co-creators. and co-owners. Also, what you accuse Dpos is happening in virtually every larger company and corporation that has issued its shares. And you are completely wrong that this is something bad. this is the most natural system where people who are involved in something benefit from it just from the fact that it is developing and can decide who will manage it and what decisions will be made.
An alternative system in which, for example, you work for someone and after finishing your work you have no shares and no longer benefit from your work, this is slavery.
The DPos system is basically just a combination of company shareholders known from classic companies, together with currency and a social platform in such a way that EVERYONE who writes and creates something here can derive long-term benefits from their efforts and speak out on important issues for this place. But also, of course, the risk for the entire platform, which in practice should motivate you to take care of what is in the common interest of everyone here and fight against things that are not in your interest. If Blurt one day becomes a platform the size of Twitter, you will become rich and if it fails, you will lose everything. Just like in practically EVERY business, in every company and every venture that humanity undertakes.
For example, if you are involved in the operation of an eco-settlement and, for example, grow vegetables for your own use without chemicals, but one person from the settlement decides to start fighting weeds with Roundup, which will not only contaminate your crops but also poison the groundwater, including the water in the well from which you draw drinking water. The project will suffer a big loss, so what will you do with such a person?
You will probably get together and kick this person out of the community because they have harmed the project. But not all community members will have the same voice. The decisive word will always belong to the people most involved in the project. Even if you maintain the appearance of equality, the fact is that people who are more involved usually have greater influence and greater obedience, so they can convince the rest by citing, for example, the fact that they have been fighting for 10 years to build this settlement and this person in 1 day did so much damage. In turn, people who were closely related to the person who caused the damage and people who influenced his admission to the settlement will have the least input ;]

I didn't know you were interested, but there would be pros to doing it that way... I will email you and then you can reply with a quote! Not sure I'm looking to spend my BLURT stack on a few pills art the all-time low... but I'm sure there's a currency we can both work with. Nice they're still giving them out like candies there... still pretending it's dangerous horse medicine up here in Canadialand.
I'll check email laters/tomoz, and reply there.
email sent
My friends bf used to send it for £10 from India I never used mine tho it’s still in the fridge prob out of date. A blockchain marketplace would be fab but an open market will likely never be allowed… see silk road outcome.
I get them and sell them to you for 100 and you pay the shipping and all those things here are available everywhere. @drutter
Oh, you have access to the Ivermectin and shipping to Canada? Nice : )
Well I will contact you if my other lead falls through. Thanks.
i just need to have a medical prescription to enter canada or as a veterinarian i think it is possible i have no problem buying it here without a prescription.
tomorrow I'm going to DHL, ZOON MAILBOX I don't know which one is the best for you give me your discord user and I'll write you to the private one @drutter
