From Clouds to Clarity: My Journey to Launching the World’s First Practical Marketing NFT

It was two years ago when I heard the news: "The world's largest cloud computing provider confirmed on Nov. 22 that Sandy Carter , Vice President of worldwide public sector partners and programs at Amazon, is leaving the company after almost five years. Carter is on her way to a startup that, rumor has it, has been pursuing her for some time." - Channel Futures

I had originally heard Sandy speak at Social Media Marketing World in San Diego four years earlier. That was my first introduction to her, and the innovative ideas she presented stuck with me. Now, she was taking a leap into the #startup world, departing from her significant role at Amazon Web Services (AWS) . This piqued my interest, and I closely followed her next move, which was soon revealed as Unstoppable Domains . When Sandy shared a 'try me free' code on a LinkedIn post, I was quick to act and have owned an Unstoppable domain ever since. That marked my first foray into the world of #Web3, and I've been untangling the complex web of understanding ever since.

Last year, fueled by inspiration and a solid idea, I dreamed of launching an #NFT that did more than just sit pretty in a digital wallet—it would have real, tangible business applications. I had been nurturing a business concept that I refused to deploy in the Web2 space, holding out for the right technology to bring it to life.

The pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place when I met Tyler Stambaugh 🧲 in Mark Schaefer 's Rise Community. In our group's Discord channel, I keenly followed the Web3 thread, eager to glean any wisdom that could translate the enigma of Web3 into practical business applications.

There, Tyler introduced me to MAGNETIQ, Inc. , a revolutionary software tool that allows businesses to craft products and services into NFTs—beyond the typical digital art, into real, marketable commodities like coincoffee subscriptions and workout programs like ReadySetMo. This was the breakthrough I needed. I went on to develop and launch my first NFT in beta this April, and fully rolled it out in May. From my research, it stands as the first-ever Marketing NFT designed with practical utility, a real game-changer in the market.

So, how does this NFT work, and how can it revolutionize your marketing efforts?

Here’s a step-by-step guide:

• LinkedIn Discovery: Making a Name in Uncharted Territory

Starting as virtually unknown in the industry posed a significant challenge in promoting such a groundbreaking product. To overcome this, I dedicated myself to establishing a reputable presence on a single platform—LinkedIn. The investment was minimal, just the monthly premium subscription fee, which allowed me to customize my profile link and call-to-action.

• Inside the Program: Leveraging Magnetiq to Revolutionize Business Ideas

Utilizing the Magnetiq platform, I transformed a static business concept into a dynamic, marketable NFT that delivers far more than mere ownership—it provides continuous, tangible value. To acquire and claim your NFT, you'll need a Magnetiq account, which you can easily connect to your Google account.

Within a few minutes of purchase, all included assets are automatically airdropped directly into your account. This swift integration gives you immediate access to 12 essential resources designed to enhance your marketing strategies right from the start. With these tools at your disposal, you can begin optimizing your marketing efforts, making the most of each feature included with your NFT.

• Navigating the Launchpad Lite Program: Building a Solid Foundation for Success

Launchpad Lite marks the inaugural training program under the Market Movers .Momentum initiative. I chose to start here because establishing a robust foundation is crucial for businesses before they attempt to implement more intricate marketing strategies. Emphasizing the importance of not skipping steps, I've initially provided just this single option because I strongly believe that a solid foundation is essential for achieving future success.

Currently, the software doesn't fully support the organization of content as I envision, so it will require some diligence on your part to navigate your assets effectively - in the following order.

1. Begin with the welcome video, which outlines what you can expect from the program.
2. While it may be tempting to jump straight into the practical worksheets, I strongly recommend that you first read through the eBook provided. This will give you a comprehensive understanding of the concepts we'll be tackling.
3. After absorbing the eBook, you can proceed to complete the worksheet exercises in the order from No. 1 - No. 10.

The entire process, if followed diligently, can take up to a month to complete if you are balancing a full-time job. However, if you are able to dedicate your full attention to this program, you could realistically complete it within a week.

This structured approach ensures that you build a thorough understanding and are well-prepared to apply these strategies effectively.
