How to create your own NFTs
Creating an NFT is not difficult, but selling your NFT art is more difficult. An NFT is only valuable when people are willing to pay for it. Therefore, to create valuable collections, you need to either have media fame or come up with a unique idea.
Work with a unique style or meaningful concept has a better chance of attracting attention.
Examples of successful NFT ideas:
CryptoPunks — the first NFT on Ethereum, a status symbol.
Bored Ape Yacht Club — gives access to an exclusive community.
Art Blocks — generative art with algorithmic uniqueness.
NBA Top Shot — NFTs with highlights from basketball games.
So, to create your NFT:
- Come up with a unique concept. NFTs can be compared to stickers in Telegram. Some collections become popular, while others are of no use to anyone. Find inspiration in news stories, memes, beautiful images, etc.
- Choose a drawing tool that you are proficient in: Photoshop, Procreate, Adobe Illustrator, etc.
- If you can't draw, try using AI tools like Midjourney or ChatGPT.
- If you are photogenic, edit your photos or take a photo of someone. Then use online editors such as BeFunky or Canva to process the photo.
Finally, get inspired by movies, music videos, videos, games, literature, even fishing to find unique images for your collections.
Or create images via a text query in the neural network Midjourney (requires an $8 subscription).
After creating the images, upload them to the marketplace for sale.
