The concept of social media is no longer novel. It’s been around long enough for us to understand what it is and how it functions. Since its inception in 1996, social media has managed to reach half of the world’s population of 7.7 billion people. In the last decade alone, several social networking sites tripled their total user base, going from 970 million in 2010 to 4.48 billion in July 2021.
Given how long it’s been around, you’d think the social media trend would be over. However, despite year-on-year adoption gradually decreasing, social media usage levels are still at all-time highs. Currently, 4.48 billion individuals use social media around the world, up from 2.07 billion in 2015, with the average user engaging with 6.6 different social media platforms.
The evolution of social media
We’ve all come to a point in our lives where we can’t live without social media. Even when we’ve got other important things to do, most of us are scrolling through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Pinterest at least once or twice in an hour itself.
- Initially, social media was created to allow users to connect digitally with friends, coworkers, family members, and like-minded people they might not have otherwise met in person.
- Social media was later liberated from desktop and laptop computers with the introduction of smartphones. In 2007, the first iPhone, released by Apple, shifted the focus of online community building to mobile, and shortly thereafter, social media apps such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, and others flourished in the mobile app ecosystem.
- As technology grew rapidly, mobile apps began to give way to videos and images, when powerful cameras were built into phones. End users could now broadcast in real-time in addition to written messages. Instagram, in particular, became the go-to app for people interested in travel, entertainment, fashion, and other subjects on social media.
- As the user bases of social media firms swelled into the hundreds of millions, the business use cases for Facebook, Twitter, and other social platforms also began to emerge. Several platforms began offering marketing solutions after realizing the potential of monetizing trackable user data. Facebook started running advertisements on its platform in 2006, while Twitter ventured into the arena in 2010. Today, most major social media platforms, including LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, and TikTok, offer various forms of sponsored advertising to monetize their services.
- As social media continues to evolve, so do its limitless possibilities. Currently, a growing point of emphasis for social media is video content. From the instant popularity of Facebook Live videos to Instagram increasing their video length from 30 to 60 seconds, video content on social media has become one of the most appealing ways for brands to share their stories. Today, marketers all around the world are harnessing the power of video to communicate their businesses’ personalities and brand stories, express creativity, and develop emotional connections with fans and followers.
This is where Glimpse comes into play
Introducing Glimpse NFT
Glimpse Founder Interviewed By Coindor Channel! Watch here!
Unlike Tiktok, Facebook, or Instagram, Glimpse is not your regular social media. It combines the fun and frolic of social media with the excitement of something very interesting — NFTs. For the uninitiated, an NFT, or a non-fungible token, is a unit of data stored on a digital ledger known as the blockchain and is used to represent items such as photos, videos, audio, and other types of digital files. Basically, NFTs are “one-of-a-kind” assets that may be purchased and sold like any other piece of property, except they have no physical presence.
There’s no doubt that as much as social media has grown in the past year, the crypto sector has also grown to incredible heights. And NFT’s are only the latest rage in the crypto arena. So what could possibly be the connection between an NFT and social media?
Well, that’s exactly what Glimpse is all about.
Glimpse is a one-of-its-kind social media platform that provides a new way for influencers and celebrities to monetize their content and for fans to own original Glimpses of their social feeds. Conventional social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram do not offer a way for users to monetize their content and thus offer no direct income whatsoever. Glimpse, on the other hand, allows individuals to monetize every piece of content they produce, rather than relying on adverts and other forms of money that may or may not come over time.
How does Glimpse work?
- Celebrities and influencers use the Glimpse platform to upload short videos in the forms of NFTs (Glimpses) to the Glimpse marketplace.
- Fans can buy the exclusive rights to the Glimpses for a predetermined sum or through an auction.
- Glimpses can also be collected, displayed, traded, and resold by fans.
One of Glimpse’s biggest benefits is that celebrities and influencers don’t have to do anything new. They are already documenting their life through movies and images and promoting their art and work on social media. The difference is that with Glimpse, content creators can easily wrap their work as an NFT, sell it on a marketplace, and get paid for it. As for the fans, they get access to unique and rare items that they can truly own.
The Glimpse platform also has its utility token — the GLMS token, which can be used as the payment currency of the system.
Certainly, the ability to tokenize and generate Glimpses to monetize your content is a great way to make money through social media and connect on a more personal level with one’s fan following. With all its advanced and unique features, there’s no doubt that Glimpse is being primed as the next global social media platform.
