How can I participate in the NEM/XEM ecosystem?

So i invested and now own some XEM. I would like to use them inside the NEM network. To somehow establish a more or less constant in- and outflow of XEM through my wallet. Looking at the POI idea, that seems to be the whole point.
Are there already services/projects happening in the network, that have an acutal use? Also, are there services I can offer the NEM network, without deep knowledge of programming?

EDIT: Any hints, ideas or examples of what you guys do with your XEM are welcome! :slight_smile:

There are a couple of Nem stores

Can you give examples?
