Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) let artists sell their work and its ownership in a digital form to the open community. Digital artists can also earn royalties every time their work transfers to another owner. This business is highly profitable, with some art pieces selling for up to $91.8 million.
To make and sell NFTs, you’ll need to own cryptocurrency. Ethereum is the most commonly accepted form of payment. Then, set up a digital wallet using MetaMask and WalletConnect to receive payments.
The next step is to upload your work on NFT marketplaces like OpenSea and Rarible and set up an auction. Most marketplaces focus on digital artwork, but now more support game assets, videos, and music. Make sure to pick a suitable marketplace for your artwork type.
