Learn as much as you can about your artistic specialty by reading books, watching videos on YouTube, taking classes, and, of course, making art. Visit the Web sites of NFT marketplaces such as OpenSea, SuperRare, Decentraland, Nifty Gateway, MakersPlace, and Rarible to view NFTs, learn about the sales process, and get a general feel for how the buying and selling of NFTs works.
It’s a good idea to take an introductory course on blockchain technology to better understand this technology. Your local community college or online learning platforms may offer classes. For example, Coursera offers Blockchain Basics. Visit https://www.coursera.org/learn/blockchain-basics for more information.
Participate in information interviews with NFT artists. Ask the following questions, and try to come up with your own, too.
- What made you want to create NFTs rather than just traditional art?
- What are the most important personal and professional traits for NFT artists?
- What do you like and dislike about your career?
- Any advice on breaking into the field?
