Getting started in the metaverse

The metaverse is one of the harder “places” to wrap our heads around. It started off with needing expensive headsets to access and seemed very focused on gaming experiences. However, just like web3, there are now so many different types of creators building in the metaverse that are creating experiences for everyone to enjoy. And you can join in straight from your phone or laptop.

Start to think of the metaverse as a more interactive Sims where you are able to experience a deeper level of conversation with actual people and imagination-driven worlds, environments, and even fashion.

So let’s jump into the metaverse! Here are 4 ways to get started:

1.) Choose your metaverse

There are metaverses like Spatial, Roblox, and Decentraland that make creating an account and getting started, easy to navigate.

2.) Create your avatar

Arguably the most fun part: you’ll need to create an avatar that represents you in the metaverse. This will be the virtual you, so take some time to customize it to the fullest extent of your imagination.

3.) Make friends

Everything is better with community, so start attending virtual events and engaging with others. They are actual people who might share your interests. Even meeting other metaverse users on social media can help you feel more connected and learn tips and tricks faster.

4.) Don’t be afraid to create

The metaverse is a place for creation! Take some time to explore and then consider creating your own content, such as a virtual art exhibit or a virtual store. You can even use remx to start creating Decentraland clothing to get started.

Overall, getting started in the metaverse just requires a willingness to explore. Take your time and don’t be afraid to ask for help along the way.

Platforms like remx make it easy for anyone to create custom branded avatars for their community.
