How do Web3 business make money?

The Web 3.0 business model has produced a number of new revenue streams, including:

  1. Monetizing  your own data
  2. Minting your own currency
  3. Democratize ownership of physical properties
  4. Revolutionize the credit industry
  5. Work for a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO)

MONETIZING  YOUR OWN DATA

It is now widely known that companies such as Facebook and Google make a lot of their money by collecting and selling the data we give them when we use their services. In exchange for this information, all we get is the use of their services. We don't get anything else from them.

Because of how popular Web 2.0 is, it is not likely that its structure will change soon. However, with Web 3.0, it is possible for other individuals to make a profit from the data we create every time we sign in. The technology behind blockchain makes this possible.

The platforms on which blockchain technology operates are decentralized, which means that the individuals who create data are in control of their own data. This is a significant shift from the current centralized model, where tech companies own the data that is stored on their servers. By using the protocols of Web 3.0, we are now in a better position than ever before to collect, safeguard, and take advantage of our own data.

MINTING YOUR OWN CURRENCY. 

With Web 3.0 technologies, it is now possible for anyone to mint their own currency by creating personal tokens or cryptocurrencies. Platforms such as OJX20 make this possible. By assigning a monetary value to each token, individuals can reward their social media followers or members of other networking communities with these tokens.

The more transactions that take place, the higher the value of the tokens. This, in turn, drives up the demand for personal tokens. The greatest aspect of this system is that the developer will always have authority over the entire number of tokens. This may be seen as equivalent to a company's cash or shares. Those who own tokens are encouraged to share items they have purchased with their tokens. This not only boosts demand, but also increases the value of their tokens.

DEMOCRATIZE OWNERSHIP OF PHYSICAL PROPERTIES. 

No matter what the internet looks like in the future, real estate will always be a valuable asset. This is especially true for properties in major cities and exotic locations.

The development of Web 3.0 has now made it possible for owners of real estate to convert their property into a digital asset that is supported by an NFT. This is an effective alternative to selling the property on the local real estate market.

It is possible to purchase assets with crypto coins in very minor chunks, which may total a few percent of their overall worth. After that, the responsibility for administering the property would be passed on to a decentralized insurance pool.

Both individuals interested in taking advantage of the growing real estate market in wealthy locations, as well as real estate owners looking to expand their business outside of the traditional market, can benefit from this opportunity.

REVOLUTIONIZE THE CREDIT INDUSTRY. 

One of the most fundamental ideas in economics is that monopolies are unfavorable and that competition is useful. Big banks have such a firm grip on the credit industry that they make the determination of who meets the requirements for credit and who does not. Consequently, many regular people are precluded from the chance to invest and make money for reasons that seem entirely random.

Decentralized credit pools have the potential to break the grip that large banks have on the provision of credit. This would involve groups of crypto lenders negotiating terms for how much they are willing to lend and what interest they would charge in return.

Decentralizing the provision of credit has the potential to generate profits for the lender and give access to necessary loans to those who, under traditional circumstances, would be denied such access. This could provide them with the opportunity to start their own businesses and make money from the goods and services they provide, or they could just use it to build up their fortunes. Either way, they would benefit from its use.

START OR WORK FOR A DECENTRALIZED AUTONOMOUS ORGANIZATION (DAO)

A DAO has the potential to become a new type of employer, or a way for people to donate money to causes.

A DAO's potential income sources include financial transactions supported by smart contracts. In most cases, DAOs collect funds by giving tokens to people who join their community. These tokens usually take the form of a DAO's own cryptocurrency.

Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) use blockchain technology to record, display, and verify transactions with other entities. This allows DAOs to do business or campaign for causes with individuals who share their values regardless of location and without interference from bureaucracy, superiors, or third parties. Blockchain technology and Web 3.0 make it so there are no secrets in a DAO.
