How Can Talented Creators Expand Their Creativity to NFT Collections?

Nowadays, talented creators create their own space on the internet via their sophisticated designs, artworks, music, software, videos, and whatnot. While there is no dearth of wonderful talent, creators find it difficult to stand out from the crowd and convert their creativity into substantial revenue streams. With the advent of cryptocurrencies and blockchain, there has risen a new asset class in NFTs — tokens representing ownership of the digital asset — revolutionizing the creative industry.

Their recent surge in popularity is proof that more and more artists are coming forward to tokenize their works as NFTs and become a part of the global NFT movement. Though NFTs can be anything — from a meme to a collectible to digital artwork, NFTs have gained popularity, particularly in online gaming, art, and sports collectibles. Indeed, NFTs lend several utilities and benefits to digital creators:

• While we have been sharing, repurposing, and reposting artworks, videos, motion graphics, music pieces, etc., for quite some time now, there wasn’t any opportunity for the artist to automatically assume complete ownership of their digital work. NFTs solved this problem by lending the artists a digital ownership deed of their work stored in a smart contract over a blockchain.
• Artists need to legally own their work to sell them. Even if they own their work, the intermediaries eat into the revenues, or the artists get profits from the first sale. NFTs, being immutably stored over a blockchain, allow for a complete record of transactions. As such, every resale can be tracked, and a part of its proceeds automatically credited to the original creator, as per the terms of the contract stored in the NFT deed.
• NFTs are immutably stored over a decentralized network, aka the blockchain, making them highly secure and tamper-proof.
• NFTs have also generated new revenue streams for artists and digital creators. They can either directly mint their NFTs and sell them over a marketplace or seek a job as a developer or a creator with a gaming portal or a metaverse ecosystem.
• NFTs grant global reach to the creators as they are built over global decentralized networks and platforms. Also, creators can become a part of the global community, such as Straight Fire Social dApp, share their unique NFTs and help each other in the process. While NFTs are all-exclusive, they offer an all-inclusive environment for the creators to thrive.

How to Bridge the Gap Between NFT Buyers and Sellers?

NFT trading volumes are reaching the heights of frenzy as more artists and collectors want to partake in the glory and earn profits off owning, buying, and selling NFTs.

Typically, an artist or a digital creator selects the content or art they want to turn into an NFT, chooses a platform per their convenience, pays the minting fees from their crypto wallet, and lists their NFT on the marketplace. While the process seems simple and the ensuing gains lucrative, how does an artist bridge the information gap?

While millions of NFTs float in these marketplaces, only a fraction get sold at a viable price. No wonder, for a single successful NFT collection, dozens are failing. Creators promote their NFTs via their social media profiles on Meta, Instagram, Twitter, etc. But the scope of traction there depends on the number of followers.

For artists to truly expand their creativity to NFT collections, it is crucial to bridge the gap between NFT buyers and sellers. Additionally, conventional promotional strategies aren’t just enough for promoting NFTs and finding the right buyers for want of the right audience and the siloed ghettos that these social media channels represent. That’s where Straight Fire comes in as the first NFT Social dApp.
