Transforming Newspaper Readers into NFT holders

Founded in 1946, ‘Handelsblatt’ is Germany’s leading financial newspaper with over 550.000 daily readers. Enabling such an interested, but also critical community for the web3 world is an ambitious endeavor. Through multiple projects (Community NFTs, holder meetings and event raffles, AI-Art NFTs) I wander outside my comfort zone – journalism – into community management, creation and brand transformation. NFTs have proven to be a vivid tool of attracting a new customer base to a traditional but progressive newspaper.

Building a business with AI

Within three weeks, I started a business with the help of ChatGPT. I let the AI guide me completely in choosing the business model, logo and products. The result is a website where I sell my photographs and AI art - and make a few hundred euros a month in revenue on the side. It's an interesting insight into how AI can be used for entrepreneurship - and how it can be used as a co-founder.
