Blockchain and Profit

Hello! Well, there's a lot to write about blockchain tech and how people have profited from it in the last couple of years. The startups, ICOs (initial coin offerings), exchanges and supporting businesses have seen incredible trends in monetary gain. These are the major trends, and there are other options linked to these in profiting from the blockchain technology and ecosystem.

To begin with, making money in and of itself shouldn't necessarily be your driving force in profiting from this technology, it is good to know that you can actually gain from it. You will need to be patient and strategic as with any other kind of business because it won't be overnight. Goals such as self-development and community impact should be greater motivators, shouldn't they?

Arts and Media
There is a ton of information in the blockchain space about startups, developments and various initiatives.

Firms seeking creative branding, story coverage, photo and video documentation, merchandise representation and such are ready to gain from your skills, so get those creative juices going for various concepts.

Marketing
It goes without saying that a good product can remain as just that without proper marketing. There are myriads of products built on blockchain protocols that are yet to reach their intended market; some are in development and others are still at prototype level. Knowing how the products work, whom they can serve best and how to sell the value proposition are important in getting successful marketing campaigns for the different blockchain products and services being developed, proposed and released.

These aren't the only ones, and I will be glad to be on the lookout for exciting opportunities emerging from this ecosystem. Make it about impact, not just money, and profit will follow.
