Employers
NFT artists are self-employed and have complete control over what they create, how they market their work, and how they manage their time. Many artists supplement their artistic income by working in the service industry or in art-related or other creative positions such as art therapist, art professor, or video game designer.
Starting Out
Some artists begin selling their work while they are still in their teens, while others spend years developing their skills before they market their first music video, photograph, or multimedia work. An artist may decide to turn some of his or her existing works into NFTs or create new ones after hearing about the eye-popping earnings made by a small percentage of NFT artists. Most simply go about traditional art-making, while experimenting with creating and marketing NFTs.
