Some of the loudest social media buzz these days revolves around non-fungible tokens or NFTs. These unique, non-interchangeable units of data are stored on a digital database and use blockchain technology to establish verification of ownership. According to Google, the NFT phenomenon is for real! American digital artist Mike Winkelmann, known professionally as Beeple, credited the explosion of NFTs to the increased time people were online. His famous work, Everydays: the First 5000 Days, is a collage of 5000 images taken over 13 years. It sold for $US70 million this year, a landmark auction for Christie's, and is among the most expensive works by a living artist.

Typically NFTs include unique artwork, famous tweets, popular memes, recordings, photos, videos, or any medium on a digital file. Online ownership - yours to have but not to hold - is quite a process to comprehend. Ready to sell to the highest bidder? Understanding non-fungible tokens are the first step into the NFT market. Our tips will take you to the finish line. Prepare. Produce. Promote.

PREPARE

Ready to begin? Preparation is as easy as one-two-three. Open an account. Set up your wallet and add your currency. There are almost 30 blockchains on the market, and Ethereum is the top enterprise blockchain platform supported by prominent marketplaces. Using blockchains to create, buy or sell NFTs comes at a cost. 

A wallet, similar to an online bank account, is required to store currency and manage the ownership of the work. According to 2020 statistics, there were more than 40 million blockchain wallets. A plethora of Youtube tutorials explains the process. There are several online platforms to get you started, for example, MyEtherWallet, Bitski, or Metamask. Prepare to join the metaverse.

PRODUCE

The first thing you have to do is to choose your artwork. Digital images should be unique and worthy of mass attention across all parameters. Producing NFT artwork is relatively straightforward - simply click and create. Sketchar is an AI-based mobile app designed for creators. Draw using augmented reality or turn images into art and sell directly from the app. 

Navigate to OpenSea, Rariable, or any one of several applications, connect your wallet, choose a name for your NFT and follow instructions. Create single or multiple collectibles, select your file, and upload. Now you're ready to become the next big thing!

PROMOTE

Create an eye-catching teaser of your image for multiple social media platforms. Start an online auction count-down with personal insights about your work. Deliver informative posts and stories to help people understand the concept of owning a digital image. Encourage feedback from your followers. Become part of the growing NFT community with multiple accounts, for example, r/NFT icon, Nft on Telegram, or NFT (@NFT).

Create a marketing strategy - promote your work, leverage content, and encourage personal and professional support to boost interest. Specialized marketplaces include Open Sea, NFT Calendar, and Mintable. You can also list your project at trackers like NFT Hunters.
