I've spent the last 15 years building an author business on Web 2 — digital publishing, blogging and podcasting, social media, and more. But as Web 3 begins to emerge through blockchain, NFTs, AI, and the metaverse, I want to make sure I still have a thriving business over the next 15 years. NFTs are an important part of the future business model in the Creator Economy and in this presentation, I explain why they're important and how authors can consider using them. In the intro, I give an update on my first couple of NFTs, minted on OpenSea, the potential impact of President Biden's blockchain and crypto Executive Order [The Verge]; In the main section, I go through: * Who am I, and why am I talking about NFTs? My technical background and how I've embraced technology early in my author career so far* What is an NFT?* Different blockchains — and energy requirements* Why do we need NFTs? Ownership and resale; flexing in the metaverse, and erosion of royalties + paid ads + inflation = we need more income streams from our IP* Six different types of NFTs that authors can consider, and how they are being used in other industries* Why digital scarcity enables more creativity and collaboration* How smart contracts enable easier collaboration and a simplified payment system* How blockchain and smart contracts (and DAOs) could change royalty payments, estate management, and more* What we need in an NFT solution for publishing* How do NFTs fit into the current business model? What is a potential future state once the technology goes mainstream?* What action should you take right now?

So I wanted to put it out on the audio feed as well, but I also have an extra section upfront, an update — as I mentioned on Monday’s show, I minted my first NFT on Opensea, and it sold immediately, so I minted another one, which also sold immediately! I wanted to talk briefly about this before playing the presentation as things move on apace. First of all,
