What is an NFT? NFT stands for “Non Fungible Token”. In short, an NFT is your digital content (pictures, artwork, video clips-you choose, or other art projects you promote) that are linked to the blockchain network Web3.0 and verified to buyers as originals and not fakes. In short, think of NFT’s the same way you do as “video game skins” except they are traded outside of video games and are your artwork. The $2 trillion dollar cryptocurrency industry behind Bitcoin DogeCoin, Sheila, and thousands of other projects has exploded and created a demand for such a technology that uses the same verification tools to verify crypto, as it does to verify your artwork. The result, over $2.5 billion in NFT’s are sold a week!

Where are NFT’s promoted and sold? Influencers and content creators can promote offers to their fans who land on the NFT platform and sign up for their influencers’ collections.

Why do we think NFTs’ is not just a fad.

Since the demise of social media and Vine, and the frustrations with platforms like Instagram changing algorithms upon creators, content creators have been looking for better ways to monetize their content, own it, and get paid the same day they launch their content. Enter the NFT technology which can solve that problem. NFT has grown rapidly with social media stars, celebrities, The NBA, the NFL, and many stars getting on board generating over that not generates $2.5 billion a week in NFL Sales as of January 2022 and growing to an expected multi-trillion-dollar global industry.

NFT Platforms are NOT a social media platform looking to bring fans of influencers over to join but a place for anyone to sell NFT artwork projects to their fans.

Success Story #1 Jaiden Stipp, a 15-year-old from Tacoma, Wash., created his first piece of digital artwork on a whim back in February 2021, a moving graphic of an astronaut-skeleton hybrid waving on the moon.

Fast-forward to today, and Jaiden has become a full-fledged NFT artist. Since selling his first piece for 20 Ethereum, around $30,000 at the time, he has created eight single NFTs of his artwork, and dropped his first edition sale in October, when he made a new NFT artwork available to 367 collectors in a special edition format. The editions sold out quickly and grossed over $350,000 in primary sales directly, he said.

Including secondary sales, which are sales between one buyer and another buyer that exclude the artist, Jaiden’s total art sales are now valued at more than $1 million. Jaiden says that his success has been an “unexpected but pleasant surprise” to him and his family.

Success Story #3 Chinese crypto influencer makes over $5 million in 10 days selling her photos as NFTs

A Chinese influencer’s non-fungible token (NFT) project has reached a trading volume of 2,300 ether (around $5.5 million) less than two weeks after its launch.

Singapore-based Yuqing Irene Zhao, 28, created the IreneDAO collection based on a sticker pack she made for her Telegram community, reported Cointelegraph.

The IreneDAO collection, which was launched on Jan. 14, features 1,106 NFT images of the crypto influencer in different poses with crypto slang such as “gm,” “wen Binance” and “yes ser.” The collection’s slogan is “SIMP: Simplicity, Integrity, Meaning, and Purpose.”

The NFTs currently trade at a floor price of 1.47 of the cryptocurrency ether (approximately $4,668).

Success Story #3 Indonesian student makes $1 million selling his own NFT selfies A 22-year-old university student from Indonesia has become an overnight internet sensation after turning a personal selfie project into a major profit.

Ghozali Ghozalu converted and sold 1,000 selfies as nonfungible tokens (NFTs) on an NFT marketplace, making himself a millionaire in the process.

“I never thought anybody would want to buy the selfies,” he said, explaining that he had priced each picture at “only $3”.

Nearly every day for the past five years, Ghozali took pictures of himself sitting in front of his computer, appearing aloof with a straight, unemotional face.

He said he had planned to use the album of nearly 1,000 selfies to create a timelapse video commemorating his upcoming graduation, but changed his plans after discovering blockchain technology and the crypto metaverse.

However, his NFT triumph wasn’t immediate.

It wasn’t until an Indonesian celebrity chef chanced upon his profile a couple of weeks later and promoted it.

This created the first sales and then, demand exploded.

Even though his project lacks artistic value, the floor price currently sits at 0.42 ETH (ETH-USD), and his Ghozali Everyday — as he’s creatively named the enterprise — has seen 355 ETH worth (over $1.0 million as of this date of volume traded)
