Today, I spent a lot of time reading about NFTs, which stands for Non-Fungible Tokens. NFTs are a key component of Web 3.0, and I’m considering starting my own virtual influencer brand. To create a virtual influencer, I will need the help of AI to generate photos and make publishing easy. This is quite important because we will create a storyline and leverage social media and distribution platforms to share our stories across various channels.

In the future, the virtual influencer won’t just be popular in Myanmar but will reach audiences worldwide, using different languages to influence other people. We will also create products and items to commercialize with the help of NFTs for digital products. NFTs use blockchain technology, and you can create an NFT using blockchain platforms like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Binance. These blockchains utilize smart contracts to create decentralized NFTs. This means that the data is not stored by one company but distributed across different platforms, ensuring it remains decentralized and secure.

The blockchain acts like a distributed public ledger, where you can see everything happening transparently. You can’t lie or cheat the system because the data is spread across all devices and nodes, making it immutable. This is the real definition of an NFT. To leverage this technology, you need to know how to program on the blockchain. NFTs are very valuable and will be useful in various fields.

Gary Vaynerchuk, for example, uses NFTs with his VeeFriends project. He produces stickers and cartoon characters and sells these items as NFTs. These tokens have more than just sentimental value; they provide access to exclusive events like VeeCon, a conference and community gathering. These tokens can also be resold on platforms like OpenSea, with creators earning royalties from each resale. This makes NFTs unique, unlike traditional digital tickets that can only be used once.

NFTs have real utility value. They can act as digital assets that can generate income in the future. For instance, Nike produces limited edition products verified by the blockchain, making them valuable collectibles. In the future, I plan to create cartoons and vivid guides that leverage my skills in psychology, storytelling, social media marketing, and content creation.

Today, I learned a lot about NFTs and blockchain technology. Everything is evolving quickly, and we need to leverage these advancements fast. Public speaking and training will remain my hobbies and passions. At the same time, I want to create an NFT-based platform because technology has the power to change things. We’re interested in low input, high output activities like digital marketing, where a single video can reach many people and generate revenue with minimal cost.

Public speaking is another high-output skill. It allows you to express ideas to a large audience and convey your message effectively. Skills like social media marketing, copywriting, and web application development are also highly valuable. Online learning platforms are another area with high leverage; they can be created once and sold repeatedly.

I’m building a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform and leveraging social media to build a brand. InsiderNote, my content platform, allows me to create and sell content daily. This platform requires little input but provides disproportionate benefits, with no marginal cost and significant returns. Creating content every day helps communicate with my audience and can lead to profitable ideas being published.

In Myanmar, with its 50 million population, there is a niche market willing to spend on coaching, business, and marketing. It’s challenging to find similar opportunities in Malaysia or Singapore, so I feel fortunate to be working in Myanmar, leveraging social media and technology.
