Web 3.0 Writing Platforms You Must Be Aware of That Will Accelerate How Much Money You Make Online

None have significant traction … yet. That’s your opportunity.

Making money online directly from writing is still new.

In the old days you had to be Einstein and come up with creative ways to secretly get your audience to pay for your words.

It led to lots of shady stuff, like reviews that were secret ads paid for by big businesses.

Web 3.0 seeks to uplift the writing world.

For those who don’t know, Web 3.0 simply means a new version of the internet built on top of blockchain that is decentralized and owned by the users, not billionaire pimply-faced knobs with yachts.

These are the Web 3.0 writing platforms you must be aware of. None have significant traction … yet. That’s YOUR opportunity.

1. GM.XYZ

GM is a decentralized version of Twitter.

In the Web3.0 world full of bizarre animated NFT profile pictures and weird catchphrases, GM means good morning.

Every day Web 3.0 users on all social media platforms post a short sentence with GM and one thought. This new platform took the habit and named their site after it.

Right now it’s mostly crypto bros talking shop. But it has in-built monetization options worth paying attention to.

2. Minds dot com

Minds is the platform naughty Joe the podcaster who shall not be named ran to.

You know straight away it’s a Web 3.0 platform because you log in with your cryptocurrency wallet, not an email address. It looks a lot like Twitter. But it does a lot under the hood.

They describe themselves as Freedom Tech.

“Censorship is blocking society’s ability to communicate, creating literal division and preventing any chance at unity.”

They say Big Tech seeks to “ban misinformation and offensive speech because it’s dividing society.” In reality it’s killing healthy debate amongst humans.

Progress stalls when debate can’t happen. It’s the path to dictatorships.

Future generations will be puzzled by how our civilization welcomed secret algorithms and AI to divide us and blatantly control our thoughts — Minds

Making money on Minds.com

From the start Minds created their model around content creators being able to get paid. Here’s how you earn:

  • Put your content behind the paywall. Get paid for traffic.
  • Get paid for each member you refer.
  • Get tips from the audience.
  • Charge a membership fee for premium content.

3. DESO

DESO used to be called Bitclout. It’s different from the other options.

In the beginning the main feature that got people talking was the ability for content creators to launch their own cryptocurrency aka stock.

Once your stock is live, users can invest in you.

You can give them premium rewards for doing so. Or you can give users a cut of your future profits. Each user has a price above their head that shows how much they’re worth in US dollars.

Pretty cool.

Since the DESO name change they’re not trying to be a writing or social media platform. They’re trying to be the base layer of all content platforms.

The idea is you create your profile and link your crypto wallet to them and then the platforms you use daily get built on top — Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

This is yet to become a reality, but their tech stack and vision look promising.

Turn yourself into a tradable stock to experiment. This is the future.

Making money on DESO

  • Diamond ‘likes’ from users are worth money
  • Turn your content into NFTs and sell it
  • Sell your crypto to investors/fans

4. Mirror.XYZ

Mirror originally looked like it could have become a long-form blogging platform. To find product-market fit they’ve gone super niche.

Their main focus right now is sharing writing that helps users raise money for startups/projects — a glorified crowdfunding platform.

Once they find their niche the sky is the limit.

“On Mirror, you aren’t the product — you’re the owner.”

5. Orbis

Orbis is another wannabe decentralized Twitter.

Anonymous usernames aka pen names are the norm on this platform. The trend started when cancel culture began to get out of control.

Try canceling an animated JPG monkey smoking a cigar with a barcode for a username :)

The risk with managing a community you start in Discord is that you can be banned. In a decentralized world your community is portable and you own the data. Not much else to say. It’s early for Orbis.

6. Sigle.io

Write and earn BTC.

What a tagline. Love it. The only problem is this feature isn’t live yet. It’s coming soon.

The cool thing with Sigle is they’re targeting writers directly. I haven’t seen any other decentralized platform boldly state this.

Again, it’s super early with this one. Have a play.

Final Thought

Many Web3 writing platforms allow you to create a DAO (Decentralized autonomous organization).

A DAO is like a registered decentralized business that can crowdsource builders and community leaders and cut them in on the money action from day one.

This feature will one day (soon) build the future creator economy.

The goal for many of you is to write and make money. Web3.0 writing platforms will help you do that as they become more evolved.

The good news: we’re still early.

What are all these platforms missing? User growth.

Without users their features don’t matter. The migration is happening slowly. Watch closely to see where the attention of content creators goes.

Then, be early.
