Li Jin: Web 3 Content Creation

wait, what?

— Paramendra Kumar Bhagat (@paramendra) May 17, 2022

Just as web3 networks can leverage tokens to bootstrap growth and overcome the cold start problem, a new playbook is arising for web3 creators to leverage tokens to bootstrap audiences in advance of actual content creation.

— Li Jin (@ljin18) May 16, 2022

Examples:
- @imdanielallan's crowdfund on Mirror, which raised $142K in ETH to fund his EP from 87 backers
- @madrealities's NFTs which allow holders to influence various aspects of the show
- NFT projects which raise $ via token mints in advance of bigger project roadmaps

— Li Jin (@ljin18) May 16, 2022

Using token incentives to bootstrap audiences & fund content creation is the opposite of the web2 creator playbook, in which creators had to slog through (often) years of free content creation to accumulate an audience before eventually monetizing it

— Li Jin (@ljin18) May 16, 2022

Now that creator lifecycle can be flipped to
1) monetize through tokens (fungible or NFTs)
2) thereby bootstrapping audience/evangelists
3) fund content creation
4) reach an even bigger audience & achieve content-market fit
