NFTs aren’t dead — they’ve just grown up. Gone are the ape JPEG days. Today, smart creators are using NFTs as digital revenue engines. Whether you’re a designer, storyteller, poet, or coder — you can earn royalties forever on your creations.
Imagine:
🎨 You mint a digital poster.
💸 It sells for ₹2000.
📈 Resells 10 times? You earn a cut every single time.
That’s Web3 passive income, my friend.
🎯 What Are NFT Royalties?
NFT royalties are automated commissions paid to the original creator every time their digital asset is resold.
- Set during minting (usually 5–10%)
- Paid via smart contracts
- No middleman needed
- Resale = Recurring 💰
This is the opposite of traditional art, where the original creator earns nothing after the first sale.
What Can You Sell as Digital Collectibles?
| Type | Examples |
| Art & Photography | Abstracts, illustrations, photo edits |

| Digital Products | Templates, UI kits, prompt packs |
| Writing & Poetry | Quote art, micro-stories, visual prose |

Yes bhai, even AI-generated images you prompt can become NFT art.
