Assume you're a fisherman. You spend hours in the wide sea before landing a large fish. All of your hard work has paid off, and you're looking forward to a large payday. Your Fish It is bought by a local grocery store. Then it's over. You have to repeat the process the following day and hope for the next lucky catch.
But what if you could make more money from the same fish in the long run? Think royalties, but supported by your fans.
The fisherman, for example, receives a cut when the grocery store sells it at retail price. They get paid once the consumer has cooked it. When the consumer offers the neighbor a plate over the fence, you are paid. You get rewarded when the client shares the recipe.
As they create assets, digital writers can create a dynamic content empire. It goes beyond being compensated for publishing a piece or earning money through affiliate connections. It's turning your work into a product and allowing your biggest admirers to invest in you.
We may now begin experimenting with and preparing our content for valuable online assets.
So First... Build Your Audience
NFTs do not provide you with exposure. As a digital writer, you must cultivate and expand your readership. You build an audience and fan following by consistently publishing, using social media, and networking. They invest in you because you add value to them.
Your followers will want to support you, and many will want to "own" a piece of one of your creations. As your following grows, your NFTs will become more valuable and discoverable. For an effective NFT approach, concentrate on increasing brand exposure.
Mint NFTs for Your Top Articles
Every digital writer understands the need of creating content every day. The more we write, the more easily we may be found. Furthermore, it enhances the likelihood that a single piece of information may resonate with a broader audience.
Every now and then, I come across a great piece of content. I could acquire a lot of readers from Medium, my website, or social media. These "viral" pieces of material aid in the growth of a fan base. They enjoyed the content; it gave value to their lives and aided them.
This is your chance to get your reader excited about the guide and appreciate the real value behind reading the post in its entirety.
These are fantastic possibilities to provide NFTs. You can sell an image of your content, as well as a GIF or scrolling video of it. The digital form of your work could be owned by one person (or a small group of people). You can provide benefits such as a video meeting to discuss the subject. Make collectible assets out of your best material for your audience.
Signing your NFTs is another way to increase their value and make them unique. They not only get to possess a piece of your work, but they also get to experience your signature as a fan.
Make an NFT-only eBook.
When releasing an e-book solely as an NFT, digital writers can capitalize on the hype. It generates excitement, provides a new reading experience, and provides an exclusive community benefit.
Ish Verduzco, a former LinkedIn employee, and marketing published his book as an NFT. When readers purchase it, they gain access to author advantages. After reading it, they can sell it and recoup some of their investment. It benefits both the reader and the author.
Consider offering a limited edition eBook. They may be more expensive, and when one person sells them, another may purchase them. You can sell individual chapters if it makes sense. They can be important and collect assets for readers. These NFTs require a large number of available variants while remaining limited enough to establish exclusivity. As it becomes more popular, the selling price may rise due to resales.
Sell NFTs of your own images or book covers.
If you're a writer, you're probably dealing with graphics for your books or articles. You might transform your photographs into collectible assets. Consider purchasing an NFT of the cover of The Great Gatsby when it was first published. You might show your support for the author by investing in an asset that you believe will appreciate in value.
Selling an NFT of your original photographs will assist you in breaking into the art world. It is currently the most intriguing space in the NFT market. This crossover appeal has the potential to boost your discoverability. You construct a new asset out of an existing one.
Mint Micro-content
We may not mint every piece we produce, like in the case of low-performing pieces, but we can create value from it. You may have strong one-liners in your material, for example. These micro-content elements could be NFTs.
Consider tweets. A screenshot might be a viral tweet. Thousands have already been created by creators. You may create excellent lines, popular tweets, and more. Minting micro-content will help you expand your NFT library and grow your brand.
Writers can prepare and explore as NFTS, crypto, the Metaverse, and new technologies develop. Then, as you accumulate assets, you will be able to develop a digital empire in the future.
