Will you join us in celebrating the launch today of Steem's new freelancing website at www.steemj.com because we can use this to help earn money with our skills and hire each other to do the work we need? Thank you very much to @sarasate for building https://www.steemj.com and agreeing to continue development on it based on what we ask for!
Today I sent the prize I offered of 2,000 Steem to @sarasate for creating the first working version of SteemJ first based on the original post at https://steemit.com/steemj/@jerrybanfield/2000-steem-prize-develop-steemj-com-for-steemit-freelancing.
If you have not read this already, would you read it because it explains in detail my long term vision for SteemJ which I think has the ability to add massive value to our community here on Steem?
To summarize, freelancing online is a $10+ billion dollar business that Steem has the perfect opportunity to innovate in because of our profiles which act as a resume and our payment system with instant transfers and transparent wallets. Building an exciting freelancing platform with Steem specializing in services related to cryptocurrencies gives us the opportunity to bring potentially millions of new freelancers onboard and to increase our ability to make meaningful purchases with Steem.
We did this together because of the support of 1073 upvoters on the announcement post at https://steemit.com/steemj/@jerrybanfield/2000-steem-prize-develop-steemj-com-for-steemit-freelancing which helped pay almost half the cost to fund the development of SteemJ! The top 10 upvoters for SteemJ are @hendrikdegrote, @transisto, @fabien, @teamsteem, @nanzo-scoop, @geoffrey, @craig-grant, @livingfree, @sweetsssj, and @gigafart. Thank you each very much for giving enough to launch this first version of SteemJ and also to @o5faruk who has been working on his own version of SteemJ!
What are the key features available on SteemJ?
On https://www.steemj.com/ today we have the ability to search through job posts made to Steem including @steemgigs, peer to peer exchange, research, writing/editing steem posts, marketing, programming & tech, translation, graphic design, and video production. We also will soon have a working post feature to make posting a job in the right place easy! If you would like to hire for one of these kinds of jobs, would you please post on SteemJ because this will help us find your job?
My longer term plan for SteemJ is explained at https://steemit.com/steemj/@jerrybanfield/steemj-for-freelancing-week-1-update-key-features-income where I hope to use SteemJ to make it easy for us to connect with any of our services and hiring needs in one place because this will help us spend our Steem and earn more Steem using our skills! While Steem is planning communities in future interface releases, I believe SteemJ will be most effective in both bringing new freelancers to Steem directly via SteemJ and offer the best marketplace to view and browse all current Steem jobs especially when combined with all the existing posts from @steemgigs.
Growth Proposal Format
- Positive feedback! 1501+ upvotes total on the first two SteemJ idea posts (which were not correctly tagged with "growth-ideas") along with nearly 500 comments totaling over $1,000 in rewards.
- Summary! Our blogs with Steem present the perfect resume to show what we can do. How much value would making an online freelancing platform using Steem add to our community if we made it easy to hire contractors and get hired as a freelancer here?
- Problem! Currently to get freelance work online takes going to Upwork or Fiverr or Craigslist or another third party website that requires starting essentially from zero. Getting the first job is really hard and often linking to a website like Steem is not allowed. Meanwhile, we have thousands of people interested and available to be hired here plus hundreds of clients like me that need help with our businesses already using Steem. Today making the connection is very difficult because there is no easy way for the workers to connect with the clients. Even adding communities might make it possible for certain specialized groups to form like "Steem Freelancers" but these will still be ineffective to actually attract freelancers to join Steem just for the ability to earn as a freelancer.
- Solution! We are in the perfect position to make the best freelancing platform in the world because where else can we actually get paid to build our resume? All we need is an interface to bring all of the freelancers and clients together. SteemJ is my attempt to produce that for us.
- Outcome! In five years, I would like to see the majority of the world's freelancers being hired on our Steem blockchain and receiving payments in Steem. Having the world's top freelancing platform on Steem would guarantee a Steem price of $10 with as high as $100 possible as Steem became the first cryptocurrency adopted by the masses globally for making person to person transfers. Bitcoin by comparison is still not even close to main stream with almost no one in normal life I know offline ever having bought or sold any Bitcoin. In the short term, giving every Steem user an easy option to post a job and to browse all the existing jobs on Steem helps us build deeper relationships with each other. In three months, I would like to be able to count on SteemJ to help me hire anyone else I need to work with for my business. Within a year, I would like to be running ads on Facebook and YouTube to bring freelancers and clients to Steem.
- Cost! To make building our freelancing platform a reality, we need a developer to consistently be available to maintain and improve the code. For this service, would we be willing to give @sarasate 5,000 Steem a month to be the lead developer because he has already committed to continuing to make consistent improvements after proving that within a month of starting he was able to build the entire https://www.steemj.com from nothing? Within a few months, we would expect to have active jobs in every category plus consistent transactions from existing Steem users giving SteemJ a try and from the existing activity in @steemgigs matching with our efforts? Within six months, we would hope to be ready to launch video advertising campaigns on Facebook and YouTube in the same format I have already done on two previous ad campaigns to bring in thousands of new Steem users directly through SteemJ with a budget of 5,000 Steem a month? Our potential gain within a year is significant increases in the price of Steem as thousands more users join Steem to use our marketplace while existing users build deeper relationships with others and make more peer to peer Steem transactions.
What do you think?
Would you like us to continue developing SteemJ as a growth project under the "Crowdsourced Marketing Protocol: Ideas, Proposals, Projects" as explained at https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemitblog/crowdsourced-marketing-protocol-ideas-proposals-projects because we will need further development and advertising funding to make this truly a valuable contribution to Steem? What key features would you like to see in order to become active on SteemJ? How important do you think it is we continue to improve this and bring more people into Steem this way?
Thank you very much for collaborating with me to make SteemJ a reality today within two months from the day I announced it! Are we ready to keep making SteemJ better and begin using it today to connect?
Love,
Jerry Banfield
These are the kinds of initiatives that help the world forward, to fiat money free trade!

Hiya @jerrybanfield I just signed up on your dream come true and it is very easy to see that this is just the beginning of something outstanding.
I am new to Steemit and still trying to understanding how everything works so with that in mind I would like to ask a few questions if I may…
I clicked around to see what had been posted, and if I am honest I am slightly confused as you said this has launched today, yet in the translation section I see posts made a year ago?
I am kinda of thinking folks are reposting on SteemJ what they have already posted in the past?
Is this correct?
Also I was on the understanding that after 7 days a post could not be voted on, no more comments could be made and it was not possible to Resteem, does this change when using SteemJ? yet clicking through from a post on SteemJ to steemit hat was made a year ago seems i have it totally wrong ??/
Would we using the “Post new job” for both the hiring a service and offering a service?
When we are offering a service do we post directly onto SteemJ and this will automatically appear on our Steemit Blog too or the other way round? First on our Steemit Blog and then it will show up on our profile in SteemJ or do we use them separately ?
I realise that this is an ongoing work in progress but you did ask, so one thing I would want to see is a Clear Price TAG for any services offered.
In the New Job section there are the same boxes as for the a regular post on Steemit, “title post and tags, not sure if this is possible or not but an extra box specifically for Price for Service Offered and a proper description of what is being offered as to provide full transparency, the additional post could be for further details, hope I am not steeping out of line here, it is just what I would like to see thanks for creating and look forward to following the developments

@lobbylux we love your feedback here because this is exactly what we are hoping to build in going forward especially if the Steemit team will help us advance this to a growth project. We will need a "post service" feature added to share services because now it only has for posting a job. We just used a tag browser so far because this shows the format which would all be blank with using only our own tags. Thank you for your support and helping us understand what is most important to build next!

Well I have switched to facebook buy and sell groups where I can click their profile and see if it matches their appearance if meeting in public or see what they are posting. On craigslist all you get is an e-mail. they could be a truck of masked bandits on the other side of the computer and you would think some old lady is coming t pick up your vintage sewing machine. I got paranoid when I was selling some boat motors for an older neighbor and I got an e-mail from someone saying they had the cash and wanted the address where the boat motors were. I explained I had to go talk to my neighbor and we could probably meet at a store in which they replied no its ok ill just come to you. I wasn't going to do that with a photo with my neighbors location let alone without one and just some random e-mail. Another thing is on some of the silver buy and sell groups on facebook they have people vouch for them if someone is going to send money to see how many successful transactions a person has made. That also seems to be a good system.

this is pretty typical for a steem "growth proposal". you built a tag browser, and youre representing it as some kind of revolutionary new app.... when really all you have is a way to view exactly the information available on steemit.com.
Its almost exactly the same recycled idea as steemsongs, steembnb and the most of the other proposals you see here. You want to make a steem based site that looks like fiverr, or AirBNB or itunes, without providing any of the value that these sites do.
EDIT to add -- theres nothing necessarily wrong with a tag viewer, or an alternative way to view the same information, it just is what it is, and not what youre advertising it as.

Sigma as it currently stands today you are exactly right because after sharing the idea a little over a month ago and getting the initial version coded all it does is tag browse. We will need more support to build it deeper with the features that will give it equal functionality with Fiverr and Upwork combined with the unmatched value of Steem!
Some of the very first features we would like are the ability to custom pin blog posts as a resume, show account value, share tracked transaction volume, and show active freelancers with skills! This first version proves our commitment to making the ideal version a reality and we will need to continue working together to build in the additional features over the next months!

Feel like most people are stuck on the 'it's better than most blogging sites, and you can get paid!" aspect of Steemit, but they are looking at the finger and not the moon. You constantly amaze and inspire me with your ideas and innovations. Thank you for sponsoring the changes you know are possible on here and please don;t stop. Steemit has the potential to transcend practically all major websites we use currently, if only people start working together to come up with things that are better. This is definitely one of them Bravo Jerry, Bravo! @wuji

This is a wonderful idea! A freelance market place based on steem.
Do you guys plan to add more tags/categories?
For example, I am a songwriter and music producer and have a studio.
So incase someone wants some music production done, some voice-over, jingles or even a song made, I can do that.
So like there is a tag for Video production, maybe one for Music Produciton would help us musicians and engineers? 😊
Keep up the super work!

Thank you for the update @jerrybanfield. I can see this working very well for my graphic design, branding and website development services. Currently, I mostly find my clients on Facebook. This will be a whole new fun way to collaborate and get things done.

As a Freelancer I'm feeling let down, I was really anticipating this, however, its seems to be just a "tag viewer" as @sigmajin stated, and is full of self-promotion and unorganized posts with few real prospects for me as a designer and video producer.
I know it's a work in progress, and I am still hopeful, here's to the future of steemJ! Also thanks for the effort to get it going!

Hello Jerry
I have sign up just a few minutes ago. I found out about steemit because of your video ad. I was seeing another video about software development and i saw your video add and finished it and now i saw this post that is very useful for me because i know the feeling of how difficult it is to find freelance jobs and if you find it getting paid even more difficult in the country where i'm from. But Steemit and Steemj offer the solution for both problems and will use as soon as possible. Please follow me and thank you very much for the content.

And from the improvements - it would be nice to make tape filters for groups. For example, today I want to see only those friends who write about the crypto currency. And tomorrow - only those who photograph nature.
Now you can filter by tags, but all at once. But you can not create groups of friends.

Amazing work! I think SteemJ is going to be one of the most innovative websites in the marketplace for posting and hiring freelancers. The opportunity to be able to use Steem currency to pay for these jobs will give this website huge potential to be one of the leading online sites for job seekers. SteemJ will provide a platform for all of us to be able to connect and find meaningful work and best of all, we can help each other to be successful!

Looks like a fantastic idea. I was reading one post, and I thought the guy didn't know how to use markup: https://steemit.com/internet/@anonimnotoriu/selling-websites-that-resell-seo-packages But when I looked on SteemIt, the pictures appeared inline: https://steemit.com/internet/@anonimnotoriu/selling-websites-that-resell-seo-packages
So looks like your site doesn't support the image/markup yet?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Thanks.
The rendering of posts doesn't work perfectly at the moment (its still a prototype).
SteemJ only renders markup correct at the moment but steem allows a mix of markup and html, hence the issues on some posts. SteemJ's job posts will have a different layout in the future anyway, something we'll figure out in the next releases..
