In the beginning, we had web1 first generation of the world wide web. Then web2 is how we know the internet today, social media platforms, and 2D websites or e-commerce that we scroll through and click to interact. Now the rise of web3 will bring the users into 3D websites and stores where users will interact with digital content as avatars, connect, and engage users on a greater level where the immersive metaverse comes in.

“Future beyond anything you could imagine” Mark Zuckerberg. Now replace (Uni) from the word universe with (Meta), which means (beyond), indicating the futuristic motive in the Greek language. The yield will be the word Metaverse.
The simple definition for metaverse is a three-dimensional virtual world where users can interact with each other and digital solutions as digital avatars.

Meta & other platforms users’ statistics

These values are variable and approximate:

Meta platforms (FB, Insta, WhatsApp, Messenger) users: 3.64 billion
TikTok users: 1 billion
Snapchat users: 293 million daily active users
YouTube users: over 2 billion monthly active users
Twitter users: 396.5 million active users

Metaverse platforms are fully immersive internet, where we will be able to access augmented and virtual reality and interact with all sorts of environments using persistent avatars and innovative digital technology. If you are a Real Estate agency or else, you should start exploring what metaverse has to offer.
Imagine how attracting clients is getting more dynamically than ever before as people immerse themselves now on meta platforms (Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp) or other platforms such as Snapchat and TikTok. Those brilliant platforms depend on intelligence systems that recognize people’s age, where they live, what they do, their interests, and what they hate, love, search for, or ask.

Metaverse workplace

Metaverse for real estate industry

The metaverse is still relatively new. However, like all other investments and business ventures, you must do your due diligence before taking risks.

Metaverse real estate is parcels of land in virtual worlds. In the simplest sense, they are pixels programmable spaces in virtual reality platforms where people can socialize, play games, sell NFTs, attend meetings, go to virtual concerts, and do countless other virtual activities. These parcels of digitized land offer a lucrative opportunity for real estate investors.

Like in real life, metaverse properties can be developed, flipped, or leased. Indeed, there are many possible use cases for metaverse real estate. As properties in the real world, location plays a factor in choosing a virtual land in the metaverse.

If you plan on investing in metaverse real estate, look for areas that have the potential for development, places where people can potentially congregate will be more valuable than those in nondescript areas. Consider plots of land near but not within developed districts. You can score these properties at relatively lower prices, build on them, and wait for prices to increase. With the climb of the metaverse, digital real estate expects to grow and expand.

The metaverse real estate boom in the last quarter of 2021 after Facebook changed its name to META indicated a focused interest in the metaverse. The value of metaverse real estate is forecasted to have a 31.2%of CAGR from 2022 to 2028 as its popularity continues to grow.

Risk and challenges of investing in the metaverse

Metaverse expects to grow tremendously in the next few years. It is still far from a stable, relatively new industry. For one, if a metaverse platform goes offline permanently, all your land and assets in that platform become non-existent.

Then there’s also the issue of valuation. There’s always the question of how to assign value to a land whose scarcity is artificial and whose future value cannot be quantified. With their value dependent on highly volatile cryptocurrencies, metaverse land is susceptible to volatile conditions.

Risks with potentially big rewards

Rife with uncertainties, investing in metaverse properties is highly speculative rather than prospective. To say that the risks are massive is an understatement. In the virtual world, you can lose all your investments in a blink of an eye. Digitalization of most companies can also potentially reap significant returns on metaverse real estate investments.

Before any investment decision, learn as much as you can about the metaverse. Understand all the risks and challenges, and weigh them against the potential benefits. Only after you have thoroughly
researched all the pros and cons should you make your decision.

audience targeting. With the new feature “Lookalike” you will be able to reach your potential clients in two ways:

* “Lookalike” for the experienced agencies who had experience in lead generation campaigns before:

If you have a previously qualified list or a previous closure for a qualified audience, we could create a “lookalike” audience to get you more closure with the same quality. Therefore, the new customers will be interested and qualified.

* “Lookalike” for the beginners in lead generation campaign

We execute firstly video view campaign to get interested customers and then select the interested video viewers who watch 95% to 100% of the video to be a “lookalike “audience when you do a lead generation campaign.

Example:

1) Publish the Thirty-second video for ten days: The content should be about what you need to sell.
2) Audiences who watch 95% to 100% of videos are interested in the information.
3) Executing a lead generation campaign to target the same interested audience.
