In recent years, the "creator economy" has once again entered the public eye (with diverse appearances) due to Web3 and NFT, and has also injected living water into related industries; although the word "economy" seems to be far away from individuals, it is so real. individual; at the same time, it is like the shadow of public opinion, as if "everything" must be bound to it.

In the works of this issue, you can personally see the creators roaming around in Web3, which has the vitality of a vegetable market and the ecological diversity of nature; however, adventure will inevitably encounter setbacks, such as fraud and fraud. The thrill of the person "passed by". For creators, this may be a new path, but

The biggest challenge in creating has never been the medium. The biggest challenge of creation is always creation itself. - Writer He Manzhuang

No matter the outcome is good or bad, whether the "economy" finally works, maybe " people will still stubbornly create things that make them happy, there is no reason, as always ."

Responding to Gao Zhuangjian's "Preliminary Conception of No Datai Publishing Experiment" by @bean paste

In the future society, we will get used to no piracy. Because piracy itself is a free copy, and genuine is a paid original based on originality. The number, price, definition, and scope of use of the original copy are determined by the publisher, in line with the spirit of decentralization. Of course this is a highly specialized industry, and I believe publishers will adapt in new ways, as is the case with many of the new web3 gallery industries now.

At this moment when the publishing industry and text workers are very difficult, @高建建, the author of "Blockchain Sociology", recently published the article " Preliminary Conception of Publishing Experiments without Datai ", which will cooperate with FAB DAO and others to continue to The centralized LikeCoin NFT published the second book; and the author, Bean Paste, explained the possibility of "book NFT" in this article, citing the "screen reading" in the book " Necessity " to describe the current characteristics of "reading as a fluid"—— "Book" is a verb and "completed book"; the concept of "electronic copy" can be extended to "free copy" and "paid original"; when information is eager to flow, NFT has "nativeness" and "exchangeability" ", may allow the two to coexist in the market.

01Opening by @Yipin _

When the digital world has not yet invented money and warrants, we don't know how to digitally weigh gold. Now that I understand money and warrants, suddenly the physical world and the digital world are connected, and the money and certificates in the digital world suddenly begin to circulate, opening like fire. People suddenly started imagining and going around trying what fire could ignite

(maybe)

The author cast " Possible Land #imaginations" on the fxhash platform in April this year, and recently exhibited "Views from Other Places" at Documents in Kassel; this article was published about half a year ago, and Matty interprets this passage privately. The words are "preface" - describing the creator state just entering Web3. Maybe! : )

02 The Creator Economy in the Tezos Blockchain World (1) by @陈姸名

The creator economy is actually: how to make the aesthetic value in mind spread more and more widely will be more important than the increase of bank balance. This is where the pricing strategy is formulated. ...... In real life, I didn't bother with people in the art circle, but the market of WEB3 NFT platform allows me to start different attempts. This threshold is indeed much lower than what is required in real life.

In this article, the author shares what he sees, "plays", and "creates" in the Tezos art community. This process not only reflects the ecological diversity of nature, but also an experiment in creation and emerging business specifications. And " how to make works have a spiritual connection with people " is a question she continues to think about, just like what she saw in a dilapidated building in Berlin, where there are no artists, only works, derivatives and the words "Every X Euro, you take it yourself” note; invisibly, the work has already established a relationship between people, and Web3 seems to be in a similar state.

03 Get started the first time you get scammed: Creators by @Ariescar

This delicate fraud routine was not in line with the cost of the fraudster in the past, but now through the popularization of big data and AI tools, all the materials, copywriting, avatars, and identities in it can be accurately and quickly replaced. Even customized sincerity, human-like tone, and rhythm of communication—signs used to build trust in the past may all be false.

On this big ship named "Web3", while the threshold for creation is lowered, "the era of great sailing is also an era full of pirates"; the author, as a "serious creator", detailed the process of being defrauded for the first time. The record also provides a place for review. However, the methods of fraud are changing with each passing day. When criminals learn how to use tools and target specific groups of people to "customize" sincerity and tone, people exploring in Web3 still have to learn first. How to protect yourself!

04Art Market｜Unreal Life#4.4 by @proxy0001

After stepping into this world, I found that the market here is close at hand, and ordinary people can touch it. Many artists and collectors gather together through Twitter to become a living mobile market, click on the link to enter the store, connect to the wallet, and buy directly.

Once a "mysterious and inaccessible art market", after entering the Web3 world, the "market" has become a vibrant and friendly "vegetable market", especially on the Twitter of NFT Artists Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, where collectors can Talk directly to the artist; it can be a "mini salon" or a "shopping list", but it still depends on your ability to sell it in the end, " this is the market "!

05 [Web3 Study Notes] #3 Creator Economy by @蠓子Durian

Whether NFTs or tokens, they are still an extension of the influencer economy. First of all, you still have to be a "charismatic" creator, able to form a fan base, so that people will pay for the various things you publish.

Has Web3 made it easier for creators to make money? From the "commission" and "royalty" partnership with enterprises (customers), to the "self-publishing", "crowdfunding" and "rewarding" of Influencer Economy based on the fan base; The "original" is defined, but are the rules of the game behind it just an extension of Web2? The author believes that creation and realization are always contradictory, "creators really cannot create for the sake of making money". Author Elizabeth Gilbert says:

Even before the advent of the Internet and the information age, life was never easy for artists. ...but people still paint, plasticine, compose, act, write poetry, make movies, weave cloth, blow glass, cast gold, paint manicures, dance, play the flute... no matter what you say , people will still stubbornly create things that make them happy, there is no reason, as always.
