Gary Vaynerchuck: a best-selling NFT creator
If Gary Vaynerchuck stood out with something this year, it’s definitely his NFT collection VeeFriends. The project skyrocketed to success, with some digital doodles selling for over $1 million.
This week, Gary Vee offered everybody a chance to get a VeeFriends NFT in exchange for buying a dozen copies of his new book, “Twelve and a Half.”
The offer turned into a real frenzy, and the author managed to surpass one million copies in less than 24 hours. It’s an impressive achievement that few contemporary writers can brag about!
Gary Vaynerchuck has published several books before, including “The Thank You Economy.” He’s officially known as a New York Times bestselling author, but none of his previous works had a success as roaring as “Twelve and a Half.”
However, no one can tell whether the book would’ve been equally successful, had it not been for the NFT offer. After all, one buyer preordered a whopping 1,000 copies to get as many VeeFriends NFTs as possible!
