Blockchain.

Goal of this section: Explain what went into our decision to publish our book on the blockchain.

One of the other hobbies I had at the time was dabbling in cryptocurrencies. I know… its got a bad rap these days. But I promise I thought it was cool so that's why I did it.

One of the things that was going on at the time was this new concept called NFTs. Otherwise known as Non-Fungible Tokens.

I was witnessing artists create NFT collections on these blockchains and making literal MILLIONS of dollars. Naturally, I thought to myself, how do I get in on this action?

First I had to understand why these people were doing so well. I had previously found artists on sites like Fiverr.com and gotten some pretty cool stuff, but I didnt think they were making this kind of money!

Turns out, non-Fungible means unique. One of a kind. People were shelling out crypto to own things that were verifiably, and provably, totally unique. Digitally. That's kind of a new concept huh?

Not to mention, it wasn't just established artists that already had big followings that were having this kind of success. As far as I could tell, this was a niche community actively looking for new, raw, talent. Something that didn't exist anywhere else. Something that they could own a piece of themselves.

There it was, a community ready to embrace new, raw creators, with something unique to offer. Seemed like the perfect place to be for a couple of authors who wrote a book that did not conform to any of the existing systems that were required for success in the traditional system.

But, how do we do it?

Well, long story short, it wasn't that easy, but it was absolutely worth it. We ended up netting over sixty-thousand dollars on a limited supply NFT run of a book that we produced on nothing but pure joy. This is more money that 99% of debut authors make on their first 5 novels combined. Not to mention, we gained something even more valuable than the money.

A community of readers waiting on the next thing.
