Decide what you are going to create an NFT of.
The first thing you’ll need to do is decide what you are going to create an NFT of. The most common examples are digital art and music, but there are many other possibilities. An NFT doesn’t have to be connected to something physical, but it can be. For example, if you own a coffee shop and want to try selling an NFT on your pastry menu, then the NFT would be connected to real-world pastries.
Your imagination is the only set limit when it comes to what you can make an NFT out of. If you want, give some consideration as to whether or not your idea has a practical purpose.
Create your NFT in blockchain-compatible software.
Make sure that your software is compatible with the blockchain you want to use. There are a few software options available, including Mintbase, OpenSea, and Raible.
OpenSea is an online marketplace for NFTs that supports all major blockchains, including Ethereum (ETH) and Polygon (MATIC). It can be used to buy and sell existing NFTs or create your own.
Metabase is another Ethereum-based site where users can buy and sell NFTs or create their own. Users select a template to work with or upload their own art to make an NFT they can sell on the platform.
Place your NFT for sale on a marketplace.
Needless to say, starting an NFT business is a big decision. But if you have the desire to create and sell your own item, here are some helpful tips to make sure it’s a smooth, fruitful venture:
- When you list your item, always read the marketplace’s terms before listing.*
- Choose a marketplace that best suits your product or service. For example, Etsy is great if you’re looking for an industry-specific store, while Facebook Marketplace can be useful if you’re looking for a broad general audience.
- Don’t pay anything upfront to list on most marketplaces; instead, wait until someone buys your product or service.*
- Once your item sells on any marketplace (or finds a buyer), register with their support team so you don’t have to deal with any hassle after that.*
- To find more places where you can sell items, visit sites like Nichehacks and Get Sellers and help others by pointing them in the right direction with your expertise!
List your work in other places to drive traffic to the marketplace.
- List your work in other places to drive traffic to the marketplace. Providing a link to the original source of your NFTs is a great way to increase discoverability and ensure no one is able to sell your work on their own off-site. Mentioning that the NFTs are only available through a third party will also disincentivize people from trying to re-sell it themselves.
- Use social media platforms. Using Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or even TikTok is a good way of promoting yourself and your work. Be sure not to focus on getting direct sales from these platforms though, as you probably won’t see many or any come through there! Instead, think about them as tools for building an audience for your art and driving readers back onto the marketplace where they can buy whatever you have for sale there.
- Post on forums and groups related to your NFTs. These may be subreddits dedicated specifically towards digital art or within communities that have an interest in what you’re selling (like fan groups if it’s fandom-related content). Again, this is less about directly generating sales than it is attracting attention to what you do so more people know who made that awesome thing they saw somewhere else online!
Share your work on social media and invite engagement.
Once you’ve finished building the NFT, it’s time to share it with the world! People will be most likely to engage with your NFT if they can easily find it on social media. So how do you make that happen?
First, post your creation on whatever platforms you use. Make sure to tag your industry’s leading influencers so they see it! You might also want to consider creating a hashtag for yourself and/or your work or using any popular hashtags related to your work in order not to get lost in the fray. Then, invite engagement from others by asking them to comment or share their thoughts. If there are other creators who have inspired you throughout this process, try tagging them once you’re done. That way their followers can discover your art as well. Finally, ask people who like what you’ve created to spread the word about it among their networks too! The wider the exposure of your NFTs, the more likely someone will click through and actually buy one — so don’t forget this critical step before moving on!
It can be surprisingly easy to get into the world of non-fungible tokens!
- NFT stands for a non-fungible token, which is what gives an item its value in the digital world.
- To make your own, you’ll need to download an NFT creation tool and create a token on the Ethereum blockchain.
- Once your token is created, you can visit an NFT marketplace to sell it.
(Readers, here’s what the author included at this point:)
Why are people so excited about non-fungible tokens? They’re essentially digital assets that can be traded or sold through a blockchain network—the technology behind cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Unlike bitcoins themselves or other types of cryptocurrencies that are interchangeable, each NFT has its own unique code, making them suitable for use as certificates of authenticity. The NFT items being created today include all kinds of things—from high art to Pokémon cards—and they’re catching on with everyone from small business owners funding their first drop to prolific artists building a reputation in the crypto art scene!
