NFTs are a versatile digital asset that can be used in many ways in several different areas of the online virtual world, allowing you to express your creative freedom and explore the possibility and potential that comes with purchasing or minting NFTs on digital marketplaces.
After forming your collection, the virtual world is your oyster. We’ve put together a little guide for you so you can learn how best to use your NFTs and where you can use them to make the most out of their entertainment value and profit potential.
Still a little lost on what NFTs exactly are? Read Emperia’s blog post explaining it all here.
NFTs and Virtual Real Estate
Virtual real estate is one of the most pivotal aspects of the metaverse and virtual worlds.
When purchasing plots in the metaverse, you can use NFTs to represent ownership of either the land or the property built onto the land. You can also use NFTs to claim ownership of real, physical land, as you would use a deed.
NFT real estate is essentially minted plots of land that the owner can do anything they like, including building virtual shops and houses or creating their pocket of gaming land for entertainment value. Owning virtual land sets you up in good stead for future profit garnered from the metaverse, and using NFTs to do this is just one of the many ways you can set up your business and make your mark, extending your services beyond the physical world.
NFT Marketplaces
One of the most popular and common uses for NFTs is to make and sell collections on one of several NFT marketplaces to be found online.
NFT marketplaces are famously versatile, allowing you to trade cryptocurrencies for anything from digital art to music clips and even screenshots of tweets from Twitter. There’s no limit to creativity, and a lot of money can be made in selling your NFTs to creators. You can also use your chosen NFT marketplace to mint new NFTs, encouraging you to foster your creativity.
Once bought, you can do anything you like with your NFT collection. You can store them in your crypto wallet, display them in a virtual gallery or use them as avatars. Once you’ve traded for it, you have exclusive ownership of the NFT, so don’t be afraid to let your imagination run wild.

Using NFTs in the Gaming and Entertainment Industry
One of the most effective uses of NFTs in the metaverse and outside is as digital tokens in gaming. The two forms are well-suited for each other, and NFTs can be used as in-game avatars for players, allowing them to create a digital representation of themselves for other players to interact with.
They can also be used to generate skins for characters as well as other in-game items like weapons in multiplayer games. They can even allow you to take ownership of items created by the game’s publishers, giving you a higher stake in the game and making the entertainment experience more personal and original to your gaming journey.
NFTs are also a big part of the entertainment industry, including movies and digital art.
It has helped to create several new opportunities in various industries, such as allowing NFT holders to own shares in the making of movies and reap the rewards at the box office, building on the sense of community that NFTs have become integral to the digital world.
Digital art, meanwhile, has always benefited from the inclusion of NFTs, with the creative form being one of the most popular types of NFT, giving creators a chance to share their talents and reach new audiences.

Using NFTs in Shopping and Retail
Another widespread use for NFTs is as a currency to trade within virtual shopping spaces, particularly in the metaverse.
While in the metaverse, users can go to virtual shops and buy clothes and accessories, whether they be wholly unique creations or digital versions of items from the high street and luxury brands.
After buying the NFTs of the clothes, the users will be able to dress their avatars accordingly, just as they would in real life, giving them another way to express identity and creativity in the metaverse.
Whether the NFTs be original goods or digital recreations, they can be used by retailers to create a personalized shopping experience unique to each customer, allowing them to customize their buying journey and create a bridge between the real and virtual worlds.
Some retailers use NFTs to allow users to experience the product they’ve bought in both the physical and digital worlds. They would be able to buy a product physically and unlock the ability to own it as an NFT and then virtually, bringing the two worlds into closer alignment and enriching the NFT experience.
NFTs hold a lot of potential in creating a diverse virtual experience, giving creators and businesses opportunities to expand on their brands and find new outlets and ventures to enrich their products. Investing in NFTs provides ongoing benefits, ensuring there’s always something for everyone, no matter your interests, hobbies, or professional standing.
