Hello, Wednesday!

Today’s advice… make sure your niche can weather storms and that you're not putting all your eggs in one basket. Covid has certainly shown that some industries can be decimated by outside influences. If you're going to specialize, be sure that your niche won't suffer when the economy turns down or be affected by other outside influences. Having multiple revenue streams with residual income will ensure you stand strong. - Jason Wilson, Strategy, LLC

‘The Electrician’ Is an NFT Novel Written by It’s Readers

The Electrician' is an NFT Novel Written by Its Readers

“The Electrician,” which its creators describe as a “generative art campaign,” is one such NFT project about to make headlines. Its final form will be a graphic novel set in a not-too-distant dystopian LA, completely funded and generated by the people who purchase the NFTs composing it. It is the first project of its kind, spearheaded by a team who’s worked on some of Hollywood's biggest franchises including Avatar, Transformers, and The Mandalorian. Over 10,000 NFTs will make up the entire graphic novel, from what the characters wear, to the decisions they make.

The novel will follow the story of “The Electrician” as he navigates a climate-changed and corruption-ravaged LA that has been turned on its head by greedy real estate developers and massive income inequality.

Time will tell whether this user-generative NFT format takes off or not. But regardless, the idea of increased media participation isn’t going anywhere, and moving forward, we can expect to have much more say, and even direct involvement, in what it is that we consume.

Realistically, there’s always going to be someone at a more advanced stage of your career path than you are, and finding someone at that stage who is willing to pass down the earnt wisdom can be a great way to prevent making some common errors as well as gain insight second hand.

What Coinbase’s Super Bowl Ad Reveals About the Future of Tech, Crypto and Advertising

A Floating QR Code Was the Best Ad of the Super Bowl. There Was Just 1  Problem | Inc.com

In mid February of this year, American cryptocurrency exchange platform, Coinbase, broke the internet with a $14m 60-second Super Bowl ad spot showing nothing more than a QR code bouncing around the screen. Some say it has changed the face of advertising for the 2020s and beyond. 

The floating QR code that allowed new users to claim $15 worth of Bitcoin and existing users to sign up for a $3 million Bitcoin giveaway. While there were reports of Coinbase crashing for some users, the QR code’s landing page got a whopping 20 million hits within just one minute of the ad airing.
