NFTs have become a significant part of the economy and can be profitable as a home-based business. In an article published by Stephen Graves, Andrew Hayward and Daniel Phillips on February 21, 2022 entitled “The Most Expensive NFTs Ever Sold”, we learn of two famous artist whose art work was sold for so much. “The artwork, created by famed digital artist Mike “Beeple” Winkelmann, sold for $69.3 million at Christie’s—the first time that the venerable auction house has ever sold a purely digital artwork.” And he’s not the only one; “Pak also made a big splash in December 2021 with the launch of Merge, an NFT project that generated $91.8 million during its sale period—although it’s not a single NFT. Nearly 29,000 buyers each got a dynamic NFT based on the number of “mass units” they purchased, and those can be combined by acquiring other NFTs from the project.”

The requirement is that you must produce artworks like paintings, music, 3D avatars etc.  On blockchain platforms like OpenSea, though, you can list them for free. All you need to do is register with OpenSea and follow the procedure below.

  • Select the digital format of your NFT (digital painting, piece of music, 3D avatar, etc.).
  • Select the online market that you want to use (Opensea, Rarible, SolSea, etc.).

According to GetJobber Academy, A cleaning business owner salary can range from $16,500 to over $100,000 a year—although somewhere in the middle is more common.

The scale of your cleaning business will have a significant impact on your ability to create wealth. Other elements include your capacity to stay up with the industry’s trends, and the location of your business, among many more. Large commercial cleaning businesses are typically more profitable than those that operate on a smaller scale.

“Starting a cleaning business is inexpensive and you can easily have clients within hours of launching. It’s also fantastic for cash flow because you get paid at each cleaning or even in advance of the appointments.”

This was one of the most profitable businesses from 2021 – 2022. It is very easy to start and the capital needed to start the business varies according to the plan you have for the business and how you would want it to be. You can start small or big. If you want to start small, you would only need the basic cleaning materials like brooms, brushes, mop, buckets, etc. You necessarily don’t need complex machines. However, if you are starting small with these materials, you won’t you able to clean a large place. For example, if your equipment is just basics, you won’t be able to handle a company contract to clean the entire premises, and that is why most people like to go big, so they can get complex machines like vacuum cleaners and others so they can get big contracts and make better profits. The good news about this business is that you can start small and enlarge it afterwards, so in any way, you would be able to make your profits.
