NFT Creators Earn $1.8 Billion In Royalties to Date A research report conducted by Galaxy Digital found out that Ethereum NFT creators have earned a combined $1.8 billion in royalties from secondary market sales in platforms like Opensea. The report also found that only a handful of individuals, 10 entities, took half a billion of royalty sales or about 27% of all royalties. Talk about concentrating your efforts on one particular thing. According to data from Flipside Crypto, 482 NFT collections have accounted for about 80% of all market royalties. As for the top company on the list, it is none other than Yuga Labs, the company behind Bored Ape Yacht Club. The company has raked over $147 million from royalties alone. Talk about getting rich!
Reddit NFTs Blowing Up In short, secondary market sales of Reddit’s Polygon-based NFTs are going through the roof. Just last week alone over 3 million Polygon wallets were created to collect Reddit NFTs according to Reddit. The online messaging platform has once again proved to be a behemoth when it comes to hyping crypto and the NFT space. Sales from Reddit NFTs have topped $1.88 million this week a surge of over 799%. As for the NFTs they are created by Reddit users as part of Reddit's Collectible Avatars Creator Program. These avatars are limited-edition avatars created by independent creators in partnership with Reddit that provide owners with unique benefits on the popular messaging platform. As for the creator themselves, they get a special profile that makes them stand out. Talk about being one of a kind.
Brothers, 11 & 13, Making Bank Selling NFTs Two brothers from Newman, Georgia have made it big in the NFT space. Joey and Eric Uzar, both of which are not old enough to drink or vote, have sold their paintings as JPEGs on NFT marketplaces like Opensea for thousands of dollars. The brothers have kept the original paintings in their studio but are selling those paintings as NFTs. These brothers have definitely found the secret formula for success in the NFT space. Their mother was not originally on board with the idea saying:
"That's so silly, I can just snap a picture and sell it? Well, that is fraud, and you are cheating."
However, it has proven to be an incredibly successful formula. The brothers simply take a picture of the painting, put all the descriptions in, and sell it over Opensea. The brothers are selling copies of their digital artwork for as much as $400. I may need to try this side hustle after hearing about it.
