Read on TwitterI couldn& #39;t be more excited about the opportunities NFTs offer (and will offer) to artists.
I hope a shit ton of artists do incredible things, make lots of money, and use that money to lift up other artists & ppl in general.

This space is EARLY right now. If you are aware of NFTs and thinking how you can use them for your art business, you& #39;re ahead of the curve.
For real. You see it everywhere, but remember there are still many artists who don& #39;t even use Twitter.
You are early.

Big money being thrown around. It& #39;s natural to want in on the action.
Do research, but also don& #39;t be afraid to get dirty and just TRY stuff.
Mint something. Jump in discord groups and LISTEN
Browse the marketplaces and see how other artists are using NFTs creatively.

But PLEASE (and this is actually why I started this thread, which already grew longer than anticipated)...
When you mint you first NFT
And now you want to sell it
DO NOT mass-message people you DON& #39;T KNOW AT ALL asking them to buy your NFT.
Analogy next:

Channeling @garyvee on this one:
If you were at a party or event, meeting someone for the first time, would the fist thing you immediacy ask is for the stranger to check out and/or buy your artwork?
Sure hope not.
This applies to #NFTs JUST AS MUCH

I am a LOUD online about how much I believe #NFTs are the future.
I am LOUD when i can support other artists and buy or bid on their work. I wanna promote THEM.
But now my inbox is FLOODED with messages, all saying the same thing...

Artists who just launched their first #NFT find me on Twitter, and sends me a DM asking me to buy their art.
It sucks bc I wanna see new art, MEET new artists, and support them... but I don& #39;t EVER feel the urge to support an artist who starts a relationship w me that way.

If you DM me out of the blue, asking me to buy your art. A few things will happen:
1) I probably WILL look at the art
2) I DEFINITELY will NOT buy it, RT it, etc
3) I might respond, but if I do, it will be a link to this thread

Think about how much care, attention, n effort goes into ur ART...
Now think about putting MATCHING effort into building *relationships* with potential customers, collaborators, n fans.
If u do it. Like for real, I promise u will sell ur first #NFT (possibly to me)
