Best Ways Make Money With Web 3.0

These days, you’re likely well aware how the major players like Facebook and Google among very few others make tremendous amounts of money on the internet. The services of these web giants are free, but by using these web giants, average people like you and me offer up an enormous amount of data unwittingly. These companies then repackage and sell this information for a variety of purposes. 

This business model is called web 2.0, the second iteration of how the internet works following the good old days of AOL, a time in the internet’s infancy now called web 1.0. But things are changing, and changing fast. Challenging the primacy of web 2.0 is an underlying financial model for how the internet operates called web 3.0 Here’s what you need to know. 

What is Web 3.0? 

This economic engine for the internet is decentralized, moving away from the absolute control of Silicon Valley tech monoliths to peer-to-peer networks operating with no third parties at all. Some examples of this system include Apple’s Siri, Wolfram|Alpha, NFTs, and any number of cryptocurrency platforms supported by blockchain protocols like Privi, among many others. 

This system helps preserve data privacy, creating opportunities for average users to find value, interact with data, and most importantly, make more money with the internet, redistributing many of the online wealth-generating opportunities which had consolidated in the hands of the very few. 

And partially because of this, one in six or 16% of all Americans now make money online, and that number is only expected to increase in the coming years as web3 takes hold. In this article, we’ll provide an introduction to these opportunities. 

How to Make Money with Web 3.0 

There are many ways to make money using web3 technologies such as blockchain and decentralized applications (dApps). Here are a few ideas: 

• Build and sell dApps: If you have experience in software development, you could create and sell dApps on platforms like Ethereum or EOS. 
• Invest in cryptocurrencies: You can buy and hold cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum as an investment, with the hope that they will increase in value over time. Staking: Some blockchain protocols, such as Cosmos, allow users to earn rewards by "staking" their tokens and helping to secure the network. 
• Providing liquidity: You can earn fees by providing liquidity to decentralized exchanges (DEXs) through a process called liquidity provisioning. 
• Earning a yield: Some decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms allow you to earn interest on your cryptocurrencies by lending them out to borrowers. Participating in governance: Some blockchain networks, such as Aragon, allow token holders to participate in decision-making processes and earn rewards for their contributions. 
• Selling goods and services: You can also use web3 technologies to set up an online store and sell goods or services directly to customers using cryptocurrency. 

I hope these ideas give you a good starting point for exploring ways to make money with web3 technologies!
