Glimpse combines the excitement of NFTs with the fun of social networking to provide a new way for influencers and celebrities to monetize their content and for fans to own original Glimpses of their social feeds. Glimpse gives creators of social content a fair share of the value of what they produce. Unlike other types of social media platforms, which provide either no income or indirect income, Glimpse allows people to monetize every piece of content they provide instead of relying on advertisers and other sources of income that may or may not come over time.
On the Glimpse platform, celebrities and influencers post short videos in the form of NFTs (Glimpses) to the Glimpse marketplace. Fans purchase the exclusive rights to the Glimpses, either according to a set price or auction. Fans can collect, display, trade and resell their Glimpses.
The advantage of Glimpse is that celebrities and influencers don’t need to do anything new. They are already creating videos and photographs of their lives, promoting their art and work on social media, etc. The difference is that now with Glimpse, the creators can easily wrap the content as an NFT, place it on a marketplace and get the real value of that content. For the fans, they get access to collectible and exclusive content that they can really own. Glimpse also aims to help rising talents such as athletes and new musicians to establish a source of income as they are on the rise. Supporters who collect these NFTs of people early in their career may end up with higher value content over time, as the talent succeeds and their early work becomes a memorabilia or valuable collectable.
Of course, anyone can use Glimpse to upload short videos of their life and monetize it on an open marketplace. For users without large followings, most of their Glimpses won’t have much market value, but like any other social media platform, there will always be new content creators and artists who take care of the platform in new and unexpected ways that will provide both entertainment for others and income for the artists.
