Creating a non-fungible token (NFT) crypto art is simple. You don’t require in-depth knowledge or skills in blockchain technology or cryptocurrencies to get started. So, creators can effortlessly start creating and selling their NFT art to collectors.
Given blockchain’s decentralized governance, the NFT space allows users to tokenize all forms of art including digital artwork, GIFs, video, JPEG files, even music, and distribute directly to their fans without any intermediaries. This way, fans can better connect and support their creators’ works. Fancy starting to create and sell NFT crypto art? Here’s how to go about it:
Creating an NFT
- Select the right blockchain
It is important to understand features offered by different blockchains, their strengths, and weaknesses, and decide which one you’ll use to mint your tokens. Such features include gas fees, scalability, security, and minting volume.
For instance, the Ethereum blockchain imposes higher gas fees, but has superior security features and is more reliable compared to other blockchains. Polygon, an Ethereum layer 2 scaling solution, offers low gas fees, high scalability, faster transactions, and low energy consumption.
Each blockchain has its own token standard which makes NFTs’ operation limited to specific blockchains. So, you will only sell the token in the blockchain’s supported marketplaces.
- Create and Top Up Your Crypto Wallet
After selecting a blockchain, you need to create a crypto wallet where you will store your cryptocurrencies and NFTs. A factor to consider when choosing a crypto wallet is whether it is compatible with your NFTs and the NFT marketplace where you will sell your NFT art.
Examples of popular crypto wallets include MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, WalletConnect, Trust wallet, and Enjin. Proceed to top up your account with crypto supported by your chosen blockchain, which you’ll use to pay gas fees when tokenizing your art. For Ethereum, a safe value to start with is about $100 in ETH.
- Creating NFT art
If you are an artist or a content creator you can easily turn your tweet, song, image, comic book into NFT through the process called minting and list it for sale.
Minting NFTs on marketplaces like OpenSea or Rarible is simple. Then, navigate the simple steps to upload your art, tokenize it and issue it on the marketplace for sale.
Also, you must not be an artist to create NFT art. You could hire an artist and a developer to do the work for you instead. If you are looking to mint generative art NFT collections, a developer will come in handy. Take note that some protocols allow you to tokenize specific contents, for instance, Valuables by Cent will mint tweets only.
Selling NFT Crypto Art
To sell your NFT art, here are ways to go about it:
- Generate a listing for your NFTS
After creating NFT art, how to sell will is next. You will need a marketplace that supports the blockchain of your choice to sell it. OpenSea marketplace supports blockchains like Ethereum, Polygon, and Klaytn. It is user-friendly and allows code-free minting.
Like OpenSea, Rarible marketplace also allows code-free minting, has good customer service, and offers a simple and attractive user interface (UI).
- Pricing your NFT
Consider the rarity and scarcity of your NFT while pricing. If your NFT comes in less supply or it’s a unique edition then you should price it highly. Keenly consider the gas fees in your pricing and ensure the fees do not exceed the NFT art crypto price.
To sell the NFT you created, find it in your marketplace collection and select it. Click on the “Sell” tab, and customize your sale by setting a fixed price or an auction.
