If you're looking to kick start your NFT collection, I also offer 1hr one-on-one consults to help you get started - just reach out to me and we can start the conversation 🙂🙂
Great video- great presentation style, BUT, When you buy one of your beautiful photos as an NFT, what do you actually receive? Do you mail the new owner a print, or does the buyer actually then own the copyright to the photo? If you could explain some of the sales benefits that would help me make a decision about buying one. Thanks, Wardie
@@Wardiesart it depends on the seller. Sometimes they might offer a physical print. But in terms of ownership, that generally stays with the artist. All these terms should be listed in the description too. But if in doubt it’s always good to contact the artist too. That’s one of the beautiful things about it. It can be whatever you choose it to be. Some sell the nft with all rights and ownership and some don’t offer anything but the ownership of the digital nft and nothing else.
Thanks for publishing this! I need help: My wallet on OKX holds some USDT trx, and I have the backup phrase: ☆clean☆ ☆party☆ ☆soccer☆ ☆advance☆ ☆audit☆ ☆clean☆ ☆evil☆ ☆finish ☆tonight☆ ☆involve☆ ☆whip☆ ☆action☆. What’s the best way to handle transferring them to Binance?
Great video man. Looking to sell some of my art work I’ve been sitting on for many years but would be great to see a video from you on what sort of cost implications were involved from uploading to selling. 👍🏽
Thanks for this super informative video! Someone got in touch with me to buy my work as nft and I had no idea about this whole block chain and nft universe. It all sounds so intimidating but you simplified it so beautifully. Thank you!! May you sell a whole lot of nfts! 🍻🍻
Same Ive had people contact me asking to sell NFT's of my art. I said no. But I'm as we speak, turning some of my art into NFT's. I like the idea of controlling my art myself.
Thank you. I had a man ask me about purchasing 5 of my landscape photographs on Instragram at 1500.00 each as NFT’s which i know nothing about. I am afraid he is a scammer? Its very confusing.
They could very well be, there’s plenty of them out there. Just remember not to give any of your seed phrases to anyone, or send anyone any money. If they want, they can buy.
Can you put name of this man cause me too this week come to le with the same offre but deferent price, and please how's it going are the deal goes well?
I agree with you, there isn't still much content of how to sell artwork as NFT. I would like to see your video of how to get started! Look forward to it!
I just found your channel when searching for information about NFT's. I'm an old school photographer (69yo) and I have just had someone want to buy some of my images in digital format not PRINT!. I knew nothing about this format and I'm grateful for your VLOG outlining your journey.
I truly enjoyed your Video, wonderful and congrats. I am just setting up with Open sea (Step one lol) and yes learning is a big step. Exactly, setting up for artworks, i am grateful for your comments.
great video.. I been trying to sell my photos as NFT but I'm scared of the process as I have never done it and it's confusing to me ... thanks for sharing your experience
Thank you for explaining NFTs in a way that i can comprehend that is also interesting. I actually watched the entire video and yawn once or reach for a pencil to draw while wishing you would shut up. And your not ugly so im guessing my mom hired you to explain this stuff to me. You had me excited about NFT art UNTIL you said "for all of eternity" because at that point my mind did wander a bit. See im new to art as more than a hobby. 2024 was my first year showing my art in a gallery. So when you said "for all eternity" i wondered what if im not good enough and im just basically matubating with a bunch of art supplies and then i die and am reincarnated and my work is still there. No matter how many times i die it will still exist. I mean thats great when im feeling all hot to trot, but what if im really not. Anyways then my mind went back to watching the video. I think my mom really did hire this guy to explain this stuff to me because his hair is amazing. But like i said im brand new to the art world and ive never made as much money as that guy did on his NFT sales. But people have been asking me to sell NFTs so maybe i should. Im trying my best to research the topic and am glad that the fungible token is not an offer of fudge or mushrooms as i honestly first thought that to be a typo and thought these people were going to pay me in moldy brownies. I dont smoke weed so i declined. But i honestly want to have some place in the art world so i guess I'll give it a go. Im gonna try to research the topic a little more so that i will not trade my art for a bunch magic moldy fudgy baked goods but can be valued and treated like a lady. Blessed Be 🌛 🌕 🌜 Amen 👑 🇿🇲 🇺🇸 👑
Such an interesting video. I have a good amount of followers on instagram who keep messaging me to sell art as NFT’s but having looked into it I found it so overwhelming I have no idea where to start! Super intimidating
Careful with that. I get about 3 of those requests a day and almost 100% of them are scams. They'll always want you to transfer the NFT in a sketchy way, and when you offer them a legit alternative like Open Sea, they disappear never to be seen again
17:00 so I looked on your channel and where is the video about setting up the wallet? The next video is about a minimalist desk. Why? What happened? Was something not right? Did something go wrong?
To be honest, this video only started receiving views recently, so I actually thought people weren't interested in the follow up. There's also been a bunch of change in the space too. But the plan is still to make that next step video, so I'm just collating all the info for it now.
Thanks Ben, Awesome video love the info your putting out there. I really look forward to the next instalment and getting some nft’s up myself videos like this really help with that process ✌🏼Mish
@@mish7441 it depends on the platform and the contract you use (I know sounds complicated), but it depends. It could be as low as $50 and as high as $700+. Ongoing there’s generally no fees.
Great analysis, thank you! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Hi Ben, Thanks for this interesting video - great job. I was looking at your pictures and was wondering what kind of drone equipment you use. Any recommendations? You have some fascinating images out there - for example #22 Moments in Tide - Liquid Textures. Keep up the good work! Cheers, Ralph
Hi Ralph, I use mainly DJI drones and an assortment of them over the years. Currently I'm shooting on the Mavic 3 Cine and the Mini 3. But this could change in the future. Many of my NFTs were shot with the Mavic 2 Pro
How to deal with the person if he wants to buy or photography nfts he would send us money first or we have to give him photography how to know that they are scammer?
Thanks for the content. You’re the first person I’ve watched to admit successfully selling NFTs. I just minted my first collection on OpenSea, but the only reactions I’ve received were from scammers. Is it still worth selling NFTs in 2023 or is it a waste of time? I’d really like to know. Cheers
Wish you success, I wish to have success as well in the world of NFTS..altho i haven’t started Iv been involved with communities and buying. Iv always wanted to be a seller but offer something more then what they purchased. Something tangible, something worth being a part of.
i always wonder, so if NFTs are digital art right? what will be its purpose then for the buyer? since its not like a physical art wherein they can be displayed in their homes and stuff. is it just all about ownership? or do we not really care about what the buyer's intent for buying the NFT? hahaha im so confused by all of this.
Thanks for this video... Question, if I find a picture I liked on the web, I decided to paint it show it on the net ans this guy comes and wants to buy it.... What happens then I did what he wants to buy but the source is taken buy a photographer... Who owns this painting in the end of the day?
Just a couple of days ago I got a DM on my Instagram from some unknown person asking to purchase my photography as NFT. He was interested in 4 photographs and offered $8,700 for each. I am afraid whether it's real or some kind of scam. He asked me to register my profile to some of the NFT platform then set up a metamask wallet so that he can transfer the money. Can you please guide me what should I do?
Out of curiosity, did you ever get an answer to you question/comment? I just had someone (about 5 people) do the same to me and I'm looking everywhere I can to make sure I ask the right questions to the right people. 😅
Thanks for the analysis! I need some advice: I'm using a SafePal wallet with USDT and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). How can I transfer them to Binance?
2 года назад+2
Thanks for sharing your story. I'd love to learn more about how you marketed your NFTS.
Hey so cool and subscribed straight away. This is a really interesting video to me. I've been caught up in the nft space for nearly a year now but only on the crazy pfp side of things😀. I'd love to start selling my photography and have been searching for a discord community for like minded people but have never come across one. As you no doubt are aware it's the community side of things that drives and is so special in the nft world so I'd love to hear if you know of one. If not, please start one, I'd jump on in straight away 👍
Good idea. I did jump in a few but they all seem pretty quiet now. I did create one with the intention of getting a community happening, but I've just been a little flat out with other work.
Great content, as always! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Great video thanks for sharing. Question for you, had you ever sold prints of the photos you chose for your nfts? Been wondering how that works with perceived ownership, I guess the digital copy is a separate medium for the photo than the print? Lmk!
No issues with prints. I keep them separate. You can (if you choose to) include rights to print also. That’s the beauty of NFTs, you can write the contracts, set royalties on future sales or anything how you like.
haven't minted yet.... hesitant with environmental impact of ETH, vs. Tezos or Polygon....seems you can def make more money but what are your thoughts about this?
It's certainly something I'm thinking about. In saying this, I'm pretty optimistic about the future of it too. I can only see more innovation that will address those issues.
Hi Ben, would it be possible to sell your photo as an NFT but also keep selling it as a print in your webshop? Or does an NFT have to a unique piece, never to be sold again in print?
Hen YOU sell an NFT of YOUR art, is it still yours to sell, or say put on the cover of your book... Or does copyright & royalty transfer to the buyer...
Hi, thanks for your great video but, how much did it cost you to start on opensea and how do you get paid transferred to your bank? I'm confused with that! How much do I pay to start with?
You'll need a small amount of funds to pay the gas fees to list on Opensea. But this shouldn't be too much. You could probably get away with $50-100 to be safe
We learn from each other and it seems like there is small window of initial interest. Like any business there has to be some promotion to keep the nft current. Think of how many nft are minted daily. As an approach, I would say, raise your price ridiculous and sell it in fragments. As long as it's only one token it maintains it's value and is more liquid. People can trade the fragments which will increase the over all value. And mint only 49%. I'm not an expert, just a student.
I’m curious about marketing these. Regarding those that were on opensea-did you continuing to market these the same as you did with the launch? If not perhaps that’s why it slowed down? What if these were available for a limited time? So there’s a sense of urgency. Then you market each new collection, and take it down after. You can always bring them back like an anniversary series or something. I’m definitely interested in creating videos of my physical paintings then minting them, but I’m still listening and learning-so I don’t know the rules to putting up and then taking down-however, I do know selling and whenever something is limited and in a limited time, people respond with more emotion and make purchase.
All these are great suggestions! It's definitely worth putting in the time to understand the space and learn how it all works, the better you understand the better decisions you'll make
I’d be very interested in hearing about your approach to engagement in the twitter/discord communities. I’m only just starting to learn about NFT’s but from what I’m learning, twitter/discord is how the game is played, using influencers and community building strategy, whitelists and all sorts of other things I don’t yet understand 😂
It's definitely a huge part of it. Being an active member of the community and engaging and supporting others is a big part of having your work get eyeballs. But this is also one of the best ways to learn more about the space and really make meaningful connections with people who are like you. I will probably make a video about this in the future too.
I offer a free print with some of my NFTs, but I'm open to all sorts of different utilities. I think this is where NFTs can really become unique and long term useful
Hey I really enjoyed this video, albeit 2 years later. Tell me, 2 things please. 1) are you still in the NFT game, and 2) would you start now, or has the horse bolted? I am an illustrator and life drawing addict, so i found your video super inspiring, but have not way of knowing if NFTs are (still) a valid pursuit of time.
Hey there, I'm still selling, but I'm not as active. I think you can start now, but it's a smaller market. But this also might be a good thing. As if it grows, you'll already be established. The people who crushed it, did so by being in it before the huge growth came in. I feel now is a similar time.
Thanks for posting! Looking for advice: My OKX wallet contains some USDT trx, and I know the recovery phrase: ┌clean┌ ┌party┌ ┌soccer┌ ┌advance┌ ┌audit┌ ┌clean┌ ┌evil┌ ┌finish ┌tonight┌ ┌involve┌ ┌whip┌ ┌action┌. Could you suggest how can I proceed with sending them to Binance?
Hi I just watched your video which was really interesting. Someone asked me if they could buy my work as NFT and I don’t have a clue how to do this. I saw that your video is a year old. Is NFT still worth to get into? Thanks Jolita
Hi Ben. The info you share with your experience has been very useful for me. I’m currently preparing to present my first NFT collection, and I wanted to know, since your first collection was deployed on ethereum, did you have to pay the gas fees for each of your photos? Or did you use the lazy minting? Gas fees on eth are so expensive, and I’m afraid that lazy minting could discourage a prospective collector. Do you think Polygon it’s actually an option for a first collection’? Thank you 😊
Gas is way cheaper now than it was a year or so ago! But in saying that, ETH is where the buyers are atm. Polygon is more for other types of NFTs and I personally don't know of any artists making significant waves on there at this time.
@Official AnnYusra Coinbase is an exchange where you can buy crypto currency, right? so, what's te difference between Coinbase and others like Nexo, or Binance?
Hi , sooo I am a graphics designer. I already have my own website /socials , should I make a seperate account to market my NFTs ... but I already have a following on my other accounts. It would kind of suck to start from square one again . Any recommendations ?
Selling NFTs is as much about marketing and branding yourself as it is about selling great art. I would personally stick with your established account. But if it doesn't align to the art you're creating, you might want to start fresh.
Hi Ben ,thank you so much for sharing your experience with Nft . I really believe that digital art is a future and I will also sell my artwork as Nft. Many art collectors got in touch with me and asked me to sell my art as nft. Thank you for your great video !!!
I just got into this 2 weeks ago and it is a huge learning curve. Just the start up is kind of ridiculous. For warning for those starting, there is a fee to start up, on Opensea the cost is $350 on your first sale. You don't have to pay that until you get your first sale but you also have to put that money in before you get money for your first sale.
@@MaLiArtworks186 I think there is just a transaction fee between you and the seller after the initial part. To continue my story because someone bought my items before I had money in the account and it takes a long time to get money in there, they will charge you $1,000 to make sure no loss of money to the buyer has happened. Now if they don't report any losses you get all that money back. So the advice is to have money already in Metamask before you start posting any art to sell.
Hi Ben! Thank you for sharing all these experiences. I want to ask do you think it will be ok to sell that nft that you have on your book cover? Also I want to know if i sell my art after minting as nft ...Can i keep the painting ? or show it at exhibition etc....
Hi Ben question to be clear when you say you have sold 21 images for about AUD$15 000 how much money did you actually get in your bank account as I don't understand this whole NFT thing yet and how many editions do you sell as a NFT is it just the original... and can you still sell actual prints of the same image that you've sold as a NFT thx much appreciate the video and any reply
@@benmackThanks for the reply... it just seems that most people are just trying to get a fast buck, and although the money is nice, I really want to educate people about the real history of online video with my show. I use opensea but there is nothing else really like what I do there. I wasn't sure how to proceed. Suggestions appreciated.
I get weekly requests from people around the world asking to buy multiple amounts of my art as NFTs. I have just ignored these messages as I thought it was a scam or something...and I wouldn't even know how to do it. I told one guy today that I am looking into it, and he's now offered to pay even more than his 1st offer. To me, this is all just a mystery.. so I will need to start finding out how to sell my art as NFTs. Does it cost a fortune to set it up?
Greetings sir! Love your content♥️ Sir i am an artist like i do photography video editing kinda stuff. In short i just tried AI art and mad an Instagram account for it and there i got a number of people who wanna buy my art as NFT but i am very new in all this.

Which contract to list better, Etherium or Polygon. Polygon has cheaper gas fees and everything but still everyone uses Etherium, why?

Great content, as always! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Great video thanks for sharing. Question for you, had you ever sold prints of the photos you chose for your nfts? Been wondering how that works with perceived ownership, I guess the digital copy is a separate medium for the photo than the print? Lmk!
No issues with prints. I keep them separate. You can (if you choose to) include rights to print also. That’s the beauty of NFTs, you can write the contracts, set royalties on future sales or anything how you like.
@@benmack think it’s time I give a genesis collection a whirl, thanks for the reply!
Brother when are you dropping the next video?
I've been meaning to do one. The bear market has cooled everything a little recently but it's definitely up there with a video I want to do.
haven't minted yet.... hesitant with environmental impact of ETH, vs. Tezos or Polygon....seems you can def make more money but what are your thoughts about this?
It's certainly something I'm thinking about. In saying this, I'm pretty optimistic about the future of it too. I can only see more innovation that will address those issues.
Hi Ben, would it be possible to sell your photo as an NFT but also keep selling it as a print in your webshop? Or does an NFT have to a unique piece, never to be sold again in print?
would like to know this too !
You should be able to send them as prints even if it is sold as NFT
Hen YOU sell an NFT of YOUR art, is it still yours to sell, or say put on the cover of your book... Or does copyright & royalty transfer to the buyer...
Hi, thanks for your great video but, how much did it cost you to start on opensea and how do you get paid transferred to your bank? I'm confused with that! How much do I pay to start with?
You'll need a small amount of funds to pay the gas fees to list on Opensea. But this shouldn't be too much. You could probably get away with $50-100 to be safe
@@benmack How are funds transferred to bank accounts?
We learn from each other and it seems like there is small window of initial interest. Like any business there has to be some promotion to keep the nft current. Think of how many nft are minted daily. As an approach, I would say, raise your price ridiculous and sell it in fragments. As long as it's only one token it maintains it's value and is more liquid. People can trade the fragments which will increase the over all value. And mint only 49%. I'm not an expert, just a student.
Looking forward to the detailed how to... 👍😍
I’m curious about marketing these. Regarding those that were on opensea-did you continuing to market these the same as you did with the launch? If not perhaps that’s why it slowed down? What if these were available for a limited time? So there’s a sense of urgency. Then you market each new collection, and take it down after. You can always bring them back like an anniversary series or something.
I’m definitely interested in creating videos of my physical paintings then minting them, but I’m still listening and learning-so I don’t know the rules to putting up and then taking down-however, I do know selling and whenever something is limited and in a limited time, people respond with more emotion and make purchase.
All these are great suggestions! It's definitely worth putting in the time to understand the space and learn how it all works, the better you understand the better decisions you'll make
Excellent video. Thanks Ben.
Thank you for the explanation! Can I just transfer the money from Open Sea to my paypal?
I’d be very interested in hearing about your approach to engagement in the twitter/discord communities. I’m only just starting to learn about NFT’s but from what I’m learning, twitter/discord is how the game is played, using influencers and community building strategy, whitelists and all sorts of other things I don’t yet understand 😂
It's definitely a huge part of it. Being an active member of the community and engaging and supporting others is a big part of having your work get eyeballs. But this is also one of the best ways to learn more about the space and really make meaningful connections with people who are like you. I will probably make a video about this in the future too.
Just curious but do you have any utilities to go with your NFTs?
I offer a free print with some of my NFTs, but I'm open to all sorts of different utilities. I think this is where NFTs can really become unique and long term useful
@@benmack Were you shipping that print or only digital download?
Hey I really enjoyed this video, albeit 2 years later. Tell me, 2 things please. 1) are you still in the NFT game, and 2) would you start now, or has the horse bolted? I am an illustrator and life drawing addict, so i found your video super inspiring, but have not way of knowing if NFTs are (still) a valid pursuit of time.
Hey there, I'm still selling, but I'm not as active. I think you can start now, but it's a smaller market. But this also might be a good thing. As if it grows, you'll already be established. The people who crushed it, did so by being in it before the huge growth came in. I feel now is a similar time.
@@benmack thank you. Food for thought 🤔
I have a few pieces I wouldn’t mind selling/renting either. But I wonder if it’d do any good, if my business is now defunct.
Someone want to buy my photos for etherum nfts 😊20k how do I make that? Never did that before or it’s scam?
Now that 1 ETH is worth so little, how did you modify - if so - your prices? 2.2 ETH is absolutely cheap when you consider the market now
Thanks for posting! Looking for advice: My OKX wallet contains some USDT trx, and I know the recovery phrase: ┌clean┌ ┌party┌ ┌soccer┌ ┌advance┌ ┌audit┌ ┌clean┌ ┌evil┌ ┌finish ┌tonight┌ ┌involve┌ ┌whip┌ ┌action┌. Could you suggest how can I proceed with sending them to Binance?
Hi I just watched your video which was really interesting. Someone asked me if they could buy my work as NFT and I don’t have a clue how to do this. I saw that your video is a year old. Is NFT still worth to get into?
Thanks

Hi Ben. Great video. I sell prints of my landscape photos. If I sell the image as an NFT, will I have any rights to it? Can I still sell prints of it?
Hi Ben. The info you share with your experience has been very useful for me. I’m currently preparing to present my first NFT collection, and I wanted to know, since your first collection was deployed on ethereum, did you have to pay the gas fees for each of your photos? Or did you use the lazy minting? Gas fees on eth are so expensive, and I’m afraid that lazy minting could discourage a prospective collector. Do you think Polygon it’s actually an option for a first collection’? Thank you 😊
Gas is way cheaper now than it was a year or so ago! But in saying that, ETH is where the buyers are atm. Polygon is more for other types of NFTs and I personally don't know of any artists making significant waves on there at this time.
@Official AnnYusra Coinbase is an exchange where you can buy crypto currency, right? so, what's te difference between Coinbase and others like Nexo, or Binance?
Hi , sooo I am a graphics designer. I already have my own website /socials , should I make a seperate account to market my NFTs ... but I already have a following on my other accounts. It would kind of suck to start from square one again . Any recommendations ?
Selling NFTs is as much about marketing and branding yourself as it is about selling great art. I would personally stick with your established account. But if it doesn't align to the art you're creating, you might want to start fresh.
How to solve insufficient ERC-20 token on the seller account
No idea
Hi Ben ,thank you so much for sharing your experience with Nft . I really believe that digital art is a future and I will also sell my artwork as Nft. Many art collectors got in touch with me and asked me to sell my art as nft. Thank you for your great video !!!
I get hit up by NFT sellers all the time, I need to figure it all out I could use the financial help
DO you have foundation invitation?
This video is so helpful!
Glad I could help!
loved this style of video
I just got into this 2 weeks ago and it is a huge learning curve. Just the start up is kind of ridiculous. For warning for those starting, there is a fee to start up, on Opensea the cost is $350 on your first sale. You don't have to pay that until you get your first sale but you also have to put that money in before you get money for your first sale.
Do you pay for subsequent sales?
@@MaLiArtworks186 I think there is just a transaction fee between you and the seller after the initial part. To continue my story because someone bought my items before I had money in the account and it takes a long time to get money in there, they will charge you $1,000 to make sure no loss of money to the buyer has happened. Now if they don't report any losses you get all that money back. So the advice is to have money already in Metamask before you start posting any art to sell.
Not quite $350. But yes, there are fee's involved to sell. But this fluctuates with the current gas fee's on ETH
I heard Polygon has no gas fees?
Hi Ben! Thank you for sharing all these experiences. I want to ask do you think it will be ok to sell that nft that you have on your book cover? Also I want to know if i sell my art after minting as nft ...Can i keep the painting ? or show it at exhibition etc....
When it comes to selling NFTs or anything that is your own creation, to be fair, the rules are yours. You decide what you sell and what you keep.
@benmack That makes sense. 😊 Thanks for replying .
Hi Ben question to be clear when you say you have sold 21 images for about AUD$15 000 how much money did you actually get in your bank account as I don't understand this whole NFT thing yet and how many editions do you sell as a NFT is it just the original... and can you still sell actual prints of the same image that you've sold as a NFT thx much appreciate the video and any reply
Thank you
No problems
How much does it cost to start out on open sea if you already got artwork ready to sell?
It's not a lot, it's basically transaction fee's to get to started. But you'll need ETH to begin with. I'd say about $50-100 should be plenty.
Thanks for the advice!
No problem!
Thanks Ben!
Thanks for the video.. can you tell me anything about selling historical NFT's from my show?
I have no idea. But I guess it would be the same as selling any other NFT
@@benmackThanks for the reply... it just seems that most people are just trying to get a fast buck, and although the money is nice, I really want to educate people about the real history of online video with my show. I use opensea but there is nothing else really like what I do there. I wasn't sure how to proceed. Suggestions appreciated.
You have to keep marketing your work. Thx for info
Hey great video! I’m inspired..
Thanks!
No problem!
Were you able to convert the ETH into actual money?
I haven’t sold it yet. But sure, can sell it anytime
How do you convert the sales to real money that you can pay bills with.
I get weekly requests from people around the world asking to buy multiple amounts of my art as NFTs. I have just ignored these messages as I thought it was a scam or something...and I wouldn't even know how to do it. I told one guy today that I am looking into it, and he's now offered to pay even more than his 1st offer. To me, this is all just a mystery.. so I will need to start finding out how to sell my art as NFTs. Does it cost a fortune to set it up?
Thank you for the video. Quite a competitive thing, NFTs. 😂 Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Good luck!
So if I gave you a picture and you made an NFT out of it.
How much do you want for it ?
The work ?
I am intressted to know..
I’m not even sure I understand what you’re asking.
@@benmack Maybe he's trying to ask about your onboarding process. I'm interested in that too.
All done ✌🙏
12:30 but if Ethereum itself goes up...this becomes "double stream"
easy to understand thanks
great video..thanks
please make more videos - it has been overwhelming to begin
Glad you liked it!
