According to the Israel-based indie work website, 64 percent of US-based freelancers have profited from selling NFT-related services.

You may not know the difference between an NFT and NSO (the Israeli company behind the Pegasus software), but according to Israel-based indie work website Fiverr, 64 percent of US-based freelancers have profited from selling NFT-related services.

The survey of some 1,000 freelancers was conducted together with Censuswide, a research company based in the United Kingdom.

NFT (non-fungible token) refers to an exclusive, usually digital asset – whether a piece of art, an essay or an in-game upsell – that’s backed by the blockchain.

Fiverr reports that, on its website, the number of freelancers who listed gigs for NFT services increased by 278% in just a single quarter, from Q3 to Q4 of 2021.

That’s led to some big profits: Freelancers report that their earnings for NFT services jumped by 374% in the same period. And the number of searches for NFT services on Fiverr increased by 345%.

“NFTs are becoming a fantastic way for illustrators, artists, designers and developers on our site to monetize their skills and work with businesses and individuals investing in this space,” says Gali Arnon, CMO of Fiverr.

“The fact that over three in five freelancers are already earning income by selling NFTs and related services showcases the foresight freelance talent has in staying on top of the latest technology trends.”

What are those related services? “Blockchain technology, cryptocurrency and the metaverse,” Arnon adds.

Key data points from the Fiverr-Censuswide survey:

  • 48% of freelancers said they have already profited from the sale of metaverse-related services.
  • 83% plan to adapt their current offerings based on the growth they’ve seen in this space.
  • 54% can see themselves earning an additional $2,600 to $5,200 per month by monetizing their blockchain-related skills.
  • More men (68%) than women (54%) have profited from NFTs.
  • 84% of men plan to adapt their services due to the growth in “Web 3.0” (a new iteration of the Internet based on blockchain technology) compared to 80% of women.
  • 61% of female freelancers have earnings from the sale of metaverse-related services compared to only 45% of male freelancers.
  • 70% of respondents ages 45-54 claim to have profited from the metaverse, while only 39% of the respondents ages 25-34 have.
  • On the flip side, 70% of respondents ages 25-34 have profited from NFTs versus 52% of respondents ages 45-54.

It’s not all smooth sailing. Freelancers trying their hand in the metaverse have concerns, too.

  • 54% are concerned about privacy and cyber threats.
  • 39% are concerned about regulation (or lack thereof).
  • 37% believe there is lack of knowledge and insight around this space.
  • 28% are fearful for the lack of in-person connection that comes with Web 3.0.

None of that has slowed the NFT train. Among the wildest NFTs sold so far:

  • Jack Dorsey sold his first Tweet, the day Twitter launched in 2006, for $3 million.
  • A pair of digital sneakers, to be used in video games as part of a user’s avatar, are going for $10,000 a pair.
  • You can buy GIF images of menu items from Taco Bell as NFTs.
  • For Star Trek fans, William Shatner sold old photos and even an X-ray of his teeth as NFTs.
