Description

This essay sheds light on what is virtual real estate, explicates how to acquire virtual real estate, demystifies the benefits of owning virtual real estate, and expounds upon the problems with owning traditional real estate properties. Virtual real estate can be thought of as intangible real estate that exists in virtual settings. People are not limited to only owning virtual real estate in video game fantasy worlds. Virtual real estate is not solely limited to being virtual houses nor virtual land in video games. Virtual real estate is also not limited to being virtual facilities nor virtual planets in video games. People can also own virtual real estate online by owning their own websites, social media channels, and blogs. Social media channels for instance provide content creators with virtual real estate that they can leverage for selling advertisements on and selling product placements on. Advertisers will buy product placements from content creators who their target market follows since they know that their product placements will be seen by their target market in contexts in which their product placements are featured in the content creatorÕs videos on their social media channels. The social media channels of content creators can serve as desirable virtual real estate for advertisements and product placements to be featured on if the social media channels are popular and if their content offerings are heavily promoted by the content recommendation algorithm of the social media platforms that their content is hosted on. Virtual real estate is highly desirable for content creators, creatives, innovators, inventors, live streamers, and entrepreneurs since it allows their content and/or products to get exposure. Websites with a high volume of customer traffic for instance have valuable virtual real estate since they can allow entrepreneurs to not only earn more sales volume, sales revenue, and profits than they otherwise would if they had a low volume of customer traffic, but can also allow entrepreneurs to generate far more advertisement revenue than they otherwise would be able to if they had a low volume of customer traffic. A blog with a high volume of customer traffic for instance also can be deemed to be valuable virtual real estate since they can allow bloggers not only earn far more affiliate marketing revenue and advertisement revenue than they otherwise would if they had a low volume of customer traffic.
