The word #NFT has been thrown around everywhere - making waves on TV and online. And at some point, you may have wondered: “What is an #NFT?” “Should I purchase or create an NFT?” “What makes NFTs different from cryptocurrency and digital currency?” In this video, business innovator and leader Lee Richter guides you on the differences between these three digital payment systems and how the term “fungible” comes into play. Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ NFTs are one-of-a-kind irreplaceable assets. They can come in the form of videos, images, or even music, and are exchanged in a different way than cryptocurrency. ✔️ Think of digital currency as actual, physical money. The only difference is that you can’t hold it in your hands. Ensure that you’re using a unique and secure password to protect your digital wallet. ✔️ Fungible vs Non-fungible. Cryptocurrencies and digital currencies can be traded without changing their value. NFTs are not just limited to collecting pictures and videos. They can represent a tangible item. ✔️An NFT is what you make it out to be. The people decide how it works. This freedom allows people with similar interests to form interactive communities. Get into the NFT game, learn about them, and share your stories on how it made a difference in your life.

Watch the full visual tutorial YouTube: https://youtu.be/tUFCKsdxNPQ. Is your crypto wallet ready for some NFT shopping? Here's a new video to teach you an easy and safe way to buy non-fungible tokens right now. Tune in to this episode of NFTs & Beyond —How to Buy an NFT with Ian Abugayda. Key points covered in this episode:  [00:00:15] First thing you want to do is decide which platform you want to use. The biggest blockchain projects of NFTs are either on Ethereum, Polygon or the Solana network.  [00:00:44] Look at the style of NFT. FACT: The unique ones can be a high-risk investment, depending on the creator. A well-known artist with a following will more likely have their artwork last the test of time, and the value potentially goes up. But an unknown artist is a higher risk. You will more likely be buying this because you appreciate the art and believe the artists will grow a following in time.    [00:02:20] Double-check and verify. Visit the actual website, where you can find all the information that can tell you about the project. One example is Panda Paradise; you can find the different styles of NFTs and the story behind it. Scroll down far enough, and you'll find the roadmap.    [00:02:49] Next, you want to look at the team and the individuals who actually did it. Are their names available? Can you find them on social media platforms or in the real world as people who are putting their reputations on the line for this specific project? There's a higher likelihood of the success of the project when this happens next.  [00:03:49] When going through the Discord channel, follow the list of things to look for and spend some time reading through the questions other people have already asked. Chances are others have vetted them as well and may have already done some of the legwork for you. This also lets you see that they're not just bots sending out automated messages but an engaged community.  [00:04:25] Find all their information here, even the DAO Vault. Now this one's unique because of how they have structured it with its utility that allows you to actually stake your NFT and potentially gain tokens that could be worth a voting right or actual coins one day. [00:04:42] Not many people are talking about the delist. This means to shorten supply, which will raise the price of the NFT. This can be good if you're looking to flip the NFT outright. But the cool thing about this project (particularly with Panda Paradise) is when people are staking their NFT, that means they're holding onto it, which is the same thing. So not many people are selling it, meaning its value goes up naturally on the website.  [00:05:47] When looking to buy the NFT, you can also start at either their Twitter page or their actual website itself. When you go buy on OpenSea, there is a direct link to their actual site. Doing this ensures you are purchasing an original. Sometimes scammers will label it precisely the same, and it can look the same as the original piece.  [00:08:15] If you're looking for some more in-depth tips on how Lee Richter and the rest of the team teaches how to purchase very specific NFT and share valuable info on what's up and coming, go to nft101.thegloballeaderscollective.com where you can sign up, and a step-by-step guide will be sent to you right away.  #goasklee #globalleaderscollective #learning #nftplatform #nftcommunity #blockchain #nft #crypto #nftartist #nftcollector #cryptotips #nfttips #digitalcurrency #cryptocurrency  ____________________________________________________________________________   *SUBSCRIBE to Lee's YouTube Channel and never miss an episode to get NFT and crypto-ready. --------    Learn more about NFTs and Crypto at nft101.thegloballeaderscollective.com.   Follow Lee on Facebook: http://Facebook.com/GoAskLee  Website: http://GoAskLee.com  Follow Lee on Twitter: http://ITwitter.com/GoAskLee  Follow Lee on Instagram: http://Instagram.com/GoAskLee  Connect with Lee on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/GoAskLee  

Hollywood is tapping into the non-fungible token's market to create additional revenue streams. In September 2021, the science fiction movie ZERO CONTACT, top-billed by Anthony Hopkins, was released as the first film auctioned off as a full NFT.  Key points covered in this episode:  [00:00:32] The film is released via Vuele, an NFT platform. They hope to be the new model for the future of film distribution.  [00:00:49] The future of the film business is on the blockchain. This could be a scenario in which theatrical releases or home entertainment are released as an NFT. [00:01:00] Zero Contact was produced in 17 different countries entirely virtually during the 2020 global pandemic. It is quite unbelievable to pull this off during a worldwide health emergency. [00:01:52] Independent filmmakers have taken hold over the years, but it's still a $2 to 5 million upfront endeavor to be able to do a project. This film changes everything because you can raise the money for your movie as an NFT and then release it onto a blockchain. This is game-changing.  [00:02:19] A similar project like the television show Stoner Cats is based on a game that has an ecosystem developed around it. People are spending time with this as another avenue where the blockchain and the NFT application will be fundamentally disruptive.  [00:02:41] Distribution platforms for films should start paying attention and being hypersensitive to what's happening in the space, and they should want to be in the forefront doing projects just like this.  Erik LaPaglia is an angel investor, voracious entrepreneur, and a founder of numerous successful companies in real estate, advertising, film production, consulting, and retail.

In this episode, Angel Investors Lee Richter and Erik LaPaglia do a debrief on Axie Infinity. When Axie Infinity initially launched, the starting price was around $150-$200 worth of Ethereum. Now, it is 10x that to get in. Learn what it is and why it's important to you. Essential points covered in this episode:  [00:13] What is Axie Infinity? Axie Infinity is a digital adorable pet universe like Pokémon where players battle, raise, and trade fantasy creatures called Axies! You can set up a digital wallet, buy Axies, and download the application. Learn more here: https://axieinfinity.com. [00:52] Why is the Axie Infinity Debrief important for people to know about? Erik LaPaglia says, "because it's changing lives! People thought it was fun and lighthearted and jumped in!"  [1:37] Users spend over 2 hours a day on this platform. Media companies would kill to have those types of numbers. Look at the possibilities as these projects grow." Eyeballs for over 2 hours is unheard of anywhere else! [2:02] The biggest sales force is in the Philippines. Certain countries have massive adoption of projects, and their workforce is gravitating towards this because it's a much more lucrative path to financial freedom. People can make money from playing games with each other. [3:04] The average salary in the Philippines is $200 a month. Folks, on average that are playing this game in the Philippines, are earning five times that a month. It is a game-changer for these people. It gives them educational opportunities and medical advances.  Erik LaPaglia is an angel investor, an entrepreneur, and a founder of successful companies in real estate, advertising, film production, consulting and retail.  Connect with Erik on LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eriklapaglia/ ​​Lee Richter has kept herself busy over the past 25 years.

Zed Run has taken digital entertainment to a whole new level since its launch in 2019. It’s a game that takes horse racing and revolutionizes the industry with crypto and NFTs. You may have heard of blockchain gaming but not like this! Key points covered in this episode:  [1:21]  Zed Run is a blockchain-based game in which you own digital horses, breed them and race them. If you win, you earn money. Founder and CEO Chris Laurent had such a vision that in 2019 when he launched this, he sold more than $30M worth of these NFTs. It has over 125,000 connected users and 14,000 unique stable owners. [2:58] Zed Run was a game-changer showing what was possible with “Breathing NFTs.” It has taken digital entertainment to a whole new level. Each horse has their own DNA. No two horses are the same. Now you're seeing other companies, other protocols, other projects integrate aspects of that.   [4:41] You can be buying a house or a car in the future. Anything can be sold as an NFT. Get creative. Get curious. Find a way to launch your own NFTs! The numbers are attainable for you! You can only be limited to how far your imagination can go. It's time to participate! [4:03] Gaming revolutionized: Play-to-earn model: Both platforms are fascinating, and it's going to be massively disruptive as we advance. Jobs are being created from this as people get paid to do these things in this game. It's translating to lives being changed in the real world because they can take that money they garner and earn in the crypto sphere in this NFT game and use it to buy food, pay for rent, and spend for hospital and medicine needs.  Erik LaPaglia is an angel investor, voracious entrepreneur, and a founder of numerous successful companies in real estate, advertising, film production, consulting, and retail.

We are such big fans of the Stoner Cats animated series, and you would be too if you could watch the show! Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin together with a star-studded cast of Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Seth McFarlane, Jane Fonda, and Chris Rock, make the show a unique and fun project.  What makes this a first and ground-breaking is the creation and distribution method. The only way to watch Stoner Cats is if you own a Stoner Cats Token.  Key points covered in this episode:  [00:00:58] The Stoner Cats animated series is one of the first fully funded by NFTs. The collection was a total of 10,420 stoner cats minted that sold out in 35 minutes.  [00:02:30] NFTs will change the whole definition of the "casting couch".  We've been relying on studios and networks to fund creative projects for the longest time. Business leader Erik LaPaglia shares that this $8M project launch shows what awaits us. "If you look at the adoption, it could take away the casting couch, and it could become the minting couch because all of a sudden it's about what you can get from the community to support your idea and all of those outlandish ideas that didn't get greenlit in the past."   [00:04:18] NFTs are the future of the way that we do business, the future of entertainment, the future of everything. This TV show is just the tipping point, adds Erik. "I could see collectibles, movies. And we're only this far away from real-world adoption. Rides at amusement parks and other real-world tie-ins, you're going to see this more and more." [00:05:44] Stoner Cats created the ultimate FOMO because only the owners of the NFTs can actually see the episodes. Lee shares how the project was a success due to exclusivity and the power of communities. [00:04:50] The promising royalty stream and revenue are transformative for traditional artists or creators. Often so many artists toil and can only get so lucky to sell their art, get recognized, and start to achieve a higher level of success. "If you're minting all of your art, going forward as NFTs, you get that second, third, fourth bite at the apple. That, to me, is the real, real game-changer of this whole ecosystem that's developing around the creators and NFTs."   [00:06:30] Not every launch is going to be flawless, and every launch is going to have issues. In this case, (Stoner Cats) knew how to overcome the issues and still move forward.  Erik shares, "there are ones with problems, and there are ones that have not had problems yet. And so it's just such a burgeoning industry. I think there's a lot of grace with these communities. The biggest thing is just being transparent." Erik LaPaglia is an angel investor, voracious entrepreneur, and a founder of numerous successful companies in real estate, advertising, film production, consulting, and retail.

Any business — small, medium, and big companies- can implement ideas about NFTs with mindsets and strategies and some of the pitfalls worth paying attention to.  In this episode, I share the screen with Erik LaPaglia, an angel investor, voracious entrepreneur, founder of numerous successful companies in real estate, advertising, film production, consulting, and retail, and now a raving evangelist for the NFT space.  Key points covered in this episode:  [00:00:32] As an NFT seller, know when you're timing the market because historically it is a challenging thing to do. Erik shares, "Think about why you're exiting a project or why you're looking to bring what you own into the market. The biggest thing is to get counsel. There are some outstanding organizations out there now that are starting to provide color and value to your NFTs." [00:03:04] When you're looking at a project launch as a seller, that's a whole different beast. You want to engage and build a community and get people excited and wanting to take part. Be everywhere that you can possibly be because you don't know where your ideal customers are." [00:04:45]  The most successful projects right now show clarity. They show a roadmap both short and long term, and when mistakes happen -- they're also very transparent when they pivot, do something different or change the timeline. Gary Vaynerchuk was transparent; either things didn't work out right or not.  [00:06:35] The NFT adoption curve will go up and up. Right now, when you say, "Open a MetaMask", or "you have to do this", it's confusing for people. Anytime you go into the unknown, people are scared. Erik quips, "The easier we can create platforms and remove the friction, we will see the plurality of people get involved. Participants right now are less than 1%. So when we go to 5 or 10%, or we get up to that 50% tipping point. I think it's going to be a global shift in the way that we all do business." [00:08:07] NFT in the medical community. When the ecosystem is adapted in the world of medicine, that will be a real game-changer for all of us.  [00:08:28] Opportunities and pitfalls on the buyer's side. The best tips are to know your projects, what you're investing in and why you're investing in them. "Don't just buy the hot thing. Believe it or not, you're doing business with them, and you're becoming part of their community. Know the origin story, why they're doing it, who's behind it, who's promoting it, who's getting paid for it. All of those things are vitally important." [00:11:38] As we start to see regulation come and rear its head, Erik believes that we'll see a shift in the dialogue in how people look at this asset class. "The SEC has put itself in a really interesting and difficult position to be an authority at a national level of a decentralized global asset." [00:14:24] Create the ecosystem before you deliver the product. Erik suggests to "socialize, deliver some teaser content to get people just 'frothing'. When it's released, you get projects that sell out." [00:15:54] The metaverse is the next big thing. "People laughed when Spielberg put out a movie called Ready Player One in 2018. That looks a lot like what we're marching to, and I can personally say that I'm invested in some technology companies that are forwarding that level of agenda. We're that long from where a lot of our day to day life is spent in the digital space. NFTs in the metaverse play a vital role in that." [00:17:29] Commerce and livelihood in these ecosystems. Real dollars are being transacted, and real lives are being affected because people are making money. They're taking it offline, feeding their families, doing good in their community, and changing lives.   [00:18:06] Millionaires, multimillionaires and billionaires are made out of teenagers around the globe. They are leaders already, and they're just getting started.  [00:19:34] Be present in the regular channels that you would think you'd normally want to promote something and create engagement. It's not just the likes, but it's taking the likes online to a different ecosystem. "It's maybe going to a metaverse where you have a gallery, and you're displaying your NFTs beforehand, or you're taking them to the marketplace that you're going to draw upon. It's just getting creative, and it's finding as many lines that point back to the project." [00:24:39] Remember how the Internet started. In the beginning, it was just a few people that had websites, but then all of a sudden little mom and pop shops and then the people who didn't even have a mom and pop shops who had an idea. We had to type in "HTTP", now we don't. The same thing as NFTs right now, what will it be later?   [00:26:10] You need a great WHY. "That's what I talk about in business all the time. Why do you need to start your project? What are you doing it for? It can't be for the almighty dollar. It has to do something more significant than that." Creating impacts has always been one of the biggest drivers. Take the next step, take action and buy an NFT. Find projects that resonate with you, and more importantly, find reasons that you could adapt them in your life or your business. "There are so many communities and so many events that are popping up around this. Spend some money, attend these things, get into the ecosystem because you'll get blown away."   Erik LaPaglia is an angel investor, voracious entrepreneur, and a founder of numerous successful companies in real estate, advertising, film production, consulting and retail.

Erik LaPaglia excels in helping companies maximize profitability and market potential. As an award-winning marketing sales expert, Eric is brilliant at influencing high ranking individuals and key decision-makers to implement new strategies and tactics to improve their business. In this episode, he shares his passion for business and valuable insights into the exciting space of NFTs. Key points covered in this episode:  [00:02:05] Serial entrepreneur Erik LaPaglia has been in the crypto market since 2014. "I had a lot of friends who said to go all-in when all I wanted was just to dip my toe in. True enough, I made some investments, and I did very, very well. Those same friends are living in 20 million dollar mansions on the water and flying their private jets. And so, when I saw what was happening in NFTs, I knew that this was the massive inflection point around cryptocurrencies that I would not miss." [00:02:15] The best illustration Erik shares with those uninformed is that the Internet is to websites the same way crypto is to NFTs. "The internet is just this amalgam thing. But websites are what we access it through."00:05:59 [00:04:00] It can really get interesting when we look at tokenizing real estate, or we look at adoption at the corporate level for smart contracting and building that functionality.  [00:06:04] Understand how the only difference between Third World and developing nations is proof of ownership when NFTs level the playing field for that. [00:13:52] A word of caution and advice: if you don't come up with how to incorporate NFTs for your business, your competitors will take the lead, and you're not going to be able to catch up. [00:14:08] In the next three years, We're going to be so surprised in all ways, and NFTs are infiltrated in our daily life.   [00:18:06] Learn more about OpenSea and how you can create your own store there. OpenSea right now is the 800-pound gorilla in the space who knows where the future will lie. "I can't think of a multibillion-dollar company that has only 57 people on their team. Their future is very, very bright by all, by all outward appearances." [00:20:50] The power of the blockchain, why the banking system is being turned upside down and decentralized for a reason to protect us.   [00:23:57] If you're seeing investment strategists and billionaires get interested in the crypto space like Paul Tudor Jones and Ray Dalio -- it's time to pay attention. [00:30:23] One of the biggest adoption curves that will happen in the next six to 12 months is actually in the music industry.   Erik LaPaglia is an angel investor, voracious entrepreneur, and a founder of numerous successful companies in real estate, advertising, film production, consulting and retail.

Welcome to the creator economy! Learn about three ways to mint your NFT. In this episode, I will talk about three platforms because they're platforms for you to study and help you assess what you want to do and what you want to create. If you want to be a creator, a collector, or do you just want to stand by and watch what's happening? Go in the ecosystem and these platforms to see what people are interested in, and you'll be learning as you go along.  Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ OpenSea: launched in 2017, the same time as the crypto cats and CryptoKitties. Notice the timing, and it is now a $1.2 billion market cap company. You can create a marketplace or a store inside. But what I love about OpenSea is not only that they've been there first, but they have the most integrations. So when you buy things on other platforms, many of them are integrated with OpenSea, and you will see your NFT all in one place. The other thing that's brilliant about them is they allow for smart contracts put in place. One of the things that is special about OpenSea is you can create your store. It's almost like Shopify for products, but this is your store for your NFT. ✔️ Rarible. Launched in 2020, and it's already worth more than $300 million in its market cap. What's brilliant about Rarible? It's a community-based creator economy. They create the discussions, support each other, and they elevate together. It is a creator-focused community; before your NFT is launched, it requires a committee review. This is one of the platforms that you will be paying five percent to publish upfront. And then, when it is sold, the collector will be paying five percent as well.  ✔️ Mintable: Started in 2018 in Singapore with currently a $41 million market cap. It is for digital items for crypto. With this, you can create an NFT, but you'll need a listing title, a listing, subtitle and description of all your items. What's beautiful about Mintable is that they allow you to choose things from images, videos, and audio files. You can add GIFs, collectibles, documents and more. It's very nice for the collector to be able to share that and have that. Now, the fees for this will be based on gas prices, and the sale is when the collector pays the costs.  ✔️Another ecosystem that we use is called WAX which is entirely different from the other ones. It is the first place that we minted our NFT. Watch out for more details in our future episodes! ____________________________________________________________________ *SUBSCRIBE to Lee's YouTube Channel and never miss an episode to get NFT and crypto-ready. --------  Follow Lee on Facebook: http://Facebook.com/GoAskLee  Website: http://GoAskLee.com  Follow Lee on Twitter: http://ITwitter.com/GoAskLee  Follow Lee on Instagram: http://Instagram.com/GoAskLee  Connect with Lee on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/GoAskLee  

How are NFTs changing the rules of ownership? In this video, you’ll discover how NFTs transform markets like property and vehicles and how a decentralized economy is more transparent and a direct type of market with your host, business innovator, leader, and award-winning influencer, Lee Richter. Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ Proof of Ownership. Right now, if I buy a car, I get a title that I have to put in my bank vault and take great care of.  Later, it's just going to be a piece of digital form that I can show and sell, even to someone in another country.  ✔️ A decentralized economy is more open, interoperable, and transparent. It helps move smart contracts faster on the blockchain to create protocols that replicate existing financial services. It's not just a regular Bank of America or U.S. Bank or what you're used to.  It's now on the blockchain using the funds that you have on the blockchain.  ✔️ Music, media, entertainment, even real estate is going to change. Because of NFTs, the art world is already transforming. We've seen people on Clubhouse launching their art because they're getting more people involved. We saw Snoop Dogg launch his NFT on Clubhouse, and it brought in over $800K for his very first NFT -- he was even surprised that he would get that much interest. Some people who were big fans of his were placed in there, and it created a snowball effect, and people couldn't wait to be part of it.  ______________________________________________________________ Learn about NFTs and with the best timeline resource here: https://nfttimeline.com/ Here’s a list of the top NFT Platforms right now: OpenSea.

Living in this day and age, you’ve surely heard about investing in NFTs.  But what are they exactly?  In this video, you’ll discover the first 3 things you need to know BEFORE purchasing NFTs from the business innovator, leader, and award-winning influencer, Lee Richter.  Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ What is an NFT? Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, are a new form of digital ownership. They provide the ability to identify something as an individual, unique item. The good news is you don’t need to be a digital artist to succeed in the NFT business. ✔️ What does it mean to be non-fungible & what is a token? A token is a digital asset that exists on the Blockchain. Many people use the Ethereum Blockchain however, there are many more options like Cardano, Solana, Openchain, Iota and many more.  ✔️ What are Smart Contracts?  In the NFT world, smart contracts allow verification. So when you're thinking about working with banks or transferring money, a part of what they're doing is verifying it's actually you. What's beautiful about a smart contract is it can be built into your NFT. It builds into the contract that upon reselling the artist or the person who made the smart contract continues to get paid.

Online auctions have existed for a long time. When Ebay started, I bought some timeshares in the 1990s. And now, the same practice is being applied in the current NFT space. However, a new phenomenon has infiltrated NFT auctions - the practice of sniping. So what exactly is it? Let’s find out. Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ Sniping is the mass purchase of NFTs at the very last minute, decreasing its sale price. These incidents affected people’s NFT pricing strategy. And it doesn’t look too favorable for most.  ✔️ Snipers are definitely bad news in the NFT auction space. Some enthusiasts have crafted bots to solely do the dirty work for them, causing an uproar among NFT fans, as snipers can resell the NFTs for a higher value.  ✔️ Be aware of handling snipers. Once you’re immersed in the NFT space, it always helps to pay attention to what’s going on. Don’t be afraid to ask for advice from other collectors. ✔️ Snipers are changing the pricing strategy of the NFT business. The unexpected can come crashing like a rogue wave. And that’s exactly what snipers have caused at NFT auctions. As sniping bots bid en masse, people miss out on getting NFTs at lower prices. ✔️ As an NFT hunter, know what’s going on out there. Make it a daily habit to catch up on the latest updates in the NFT space. Join the conversation in the fight against sniping. And remember, don’t be a part of the problem! ✔️ Snipers can affect your NFT launch. What’s the best way to deal with snipers at your auction? Don’t let them win. Everyone deserves a successful and fair experience.  In the world of NFTs, the main star should always be YOU - the buyer and the trader.

Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ NFTs should be fun! Kary Oberbrunner suggests “gamifying” NFTs. The key is to create challenges in each chapter, and winners can unlock a special NFT or get awards for being a part of the community. Who says you can’t build assets while playing games? ✔️ Lee Richter and Kary Oberbrunner toss out the idea of a new form of cryptocurrency. These would be given to their game participants with accumulated game points. Inspired by Scott Donnell, planning the exclusive coin as a usable currency would push its worth to unimaginable levels. ✔️ Get a knowledgeable advisor. The NFT space is no stranger to phishing attacks. When your NFT business is expanding, hire an expert accountant. Acquiring software to document your crypto transactions is a viable option, too. ✔️ NFTs are opportunities for pitching new ideas. Impact Theory founder Tom Bilyeu created his NFT world with space for brainstorming. Drawing from this idea, Lee Richter thought of having a mini NFT “shark tank”, with the panel composed of people who purchased her NFTs.   ✔️ Create engagement and value to keep everyone excited. The fun doesn’t stop at the content. NFT sellers craft innovative ways for fans and supporters to keep the interest high. An NFT is a gift that keeps on giving.   ✔️ Be inspired, take action, and join the journey. Get around like-minded people. Find your mentor, and jump right in. You’ll never know where your first NFT might take you.

My guest, Kary Oberbrunner, started paying attention to NFTs in March 2021. It was around the same time Beeple sold their NFTs for $69 million, making headlines everywhere.  As his host explained to him what NFTs are, a bulb just lit in his head. “This is going to change the world.” Have you been watching NFTs from afar? Now is your best chance to get started in the game.    Key points covered in this episode:  ✔️ NFTs are worth a try in the new normal. The pandemic has pushed us to conduct business and education in the digital world. Navigating through the digital space, people of all ages showcase their assets as NFTs and crypto become the new social currency.   ✔️ The internet has 3 phases.   Web 1 - Companies would set up websites and share information with you. They own the information and the platform. Web 2 - Platforms are owned by the company. The community creates the content, but the company owns and profits off of it. Web 3 - The community creates and owns the content, thus creating a decentralized land. The decentralized way is the future of the Internet. This is the landscape where NFTs and digital currencies thrive, and the power lies at your fingertips. ✔️ Dive into NFTs, even at its early stages. Lee Richter shares a snippet from Impact Theory founder, Tom Bilyeu, as he explains that first adopters will become the smartest ones in the space, having more time to understand the mechanics of NFTs. ✔️ The beauty of NFTs is in what's behind them. NFTs may be digital statement pieces and a form of social currency. But their core essence is the creativity that goes into their contents. What access does it provide to the community? Are they smart contracts or unlockables? These things create a deeper connection within our tribe. ✔️ NFTs bring leverage to artists and business owners. NFTs and the decentralized system have become an avenue for entrepreneurs to showcase their marketing creativity. This freedom also allows them to be closer to their true supporters. ✔️ The NFT space is the ship waiting for you. It hasn’t left the dock yet, so hop on and find your place. YOU get to choose where you want to be! Whether as a leader or a collaborator, you can still enjoy and reap the benefits of the blockchain life.

Watch the video on YouTube for a more visual tutorial -https://youtu.be/Rmec_F-y9P8. Non-Fungible tokens or NFTs are growing in massive popularity. As enthusiasts adapt to use them for games, virtual events, smart contracts, and more, hand holding is needed to help you go through the process without the hassle.  In this episode, Ian Abugayda teaches the quick and easy way to mint NFTs at OpenSea, the world's first and largest NFT marketplace. You can create your store inside this $1.2 billion market cap company.    Key points covered in this episode:  [00:00:08] First thing — set up your wallet. If you need more guidance in this, go ahead and go to the Global Leaders Collective website for tutorials and a step-by-step guide. Or you can sign up for Lee's new course that takes you through everything you need to know from start to finish for understanding NFTs Like an expert. [00:00:39] Connect your wallet to OpenSea. Find the wallet icon and select MetaMask. You want to make sure that you always check what you're actually signing. Now OpenSea is a verifiable website that sells billions of dollars worth of NFTs monthly. So we're pretty safe here. [00:01:17] Create a new item. Drag and click the image you want to use and title the image. If there's an external link you want with the original image with some video connected from your YouTube page, go ahead and put the URL right there. Only the person who buys your NFT will access it under the unlockable content. [00:03:38] Get supply. This will be a one of one. (In another podcast, we talk about the difference between one of one and the multiple ones.) Pick which blockchain you want to use it on. So you get to choose which one you want to use when it comes to the person who buys this NFT. If you're using an Ethereum, the gas fees will be significantly more than the Polygon network. So we're going to stick to Etherium just for now and then create. Give it a few seconds. Now, depending on the time of day and how busy the platform is, each transaction must be verified before it comes back.  [00:05:19] Get ready to sell. All you have to do is click on Sell, choose a fixed price or time option. It will reflect how much the market evaluates it, and the duration you choose can be a day, it can be a month, it can be a week, it can even be a year.  [00:06:31] There'll be a fee (it's at 2.5% in this demo.) Your MetaMask will open up any wallet you're using that's connected to OpenSea. Verify and sign off on it and wait for confirmation. Your item will be listed to the public. [00:07:15] You're all set! You have a choice to lower the price or cancel the listing; however, if you cancel the listing, there's a processing fee sometimes if it's already been minted, so be careful of that.   #goasklee #globalleaderscollective #learning #nftplatform #nftcommunity #blockchain #nft #crypto #nftartist #nftcollector #cryptotips #nfttips #digitalcurrency #cryptocurrency  ____________________________________________________________________________   *SUBSCRIBE to Lee's YouTube Channel and never miss an episode to get NFT and crypto-ready. --------    Learn more about NFTs and Crypto at https://thegloballeaderscollective.com/   Follow Lee on Facebook: http://Facebook.com/GoAskLee  Website: http://GoAskLee.com  Follow Lee on Twitter: http://ITwitter.com/GoAskLee  Follow Lee on Instagram: http://Instagram.com/GoAskLee  Connect with Lee on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/GoAskLee
