Desperate ka ba sa Pagmarket mo ng iyong NFT Project?
Sometimes kung too aggressive ka sa pagmarket ng iyong NFT project, parang needy ang dating mo. Para kang desperate na manliligaw. At the more ka nag aapproach to pitch your project, may possibility na hindi ka pinapansin. Nangyarina ba ito sa iyo? Naranasan mo na ba na kung ikaw ang humahabol, be it in a romantic relationship or in business, parang nakakapagod? (May hugot yata sya) Makaka relate ka ba?
On the other hand, kung magpapakipot ka naman, parang ikaw din ang hinahabol. Nakakapagtaka diba? Kung magpakipot, hinahabol. Kung manghahabol, nilalayuan. So papano mo ma strike ang balance between pakipot, but at the same time, you can reach your goal?
Well, medyo kumplikado itong bagay na ito. Pero para mas maliwanag, pwede nating e ilustrate gamit ang romantic love dynamic. Papano mo ma reach ang goal to find your loved one while not appearing too desperate and needy?
Well, you have to know your value first. Kailangan mong malaman kung ano ang maiooffer mo sa relationship. Kailangan mong malaman ang mga strengths and weaknesses mo. You have to be secure with yourself when it comes to your weaknesses. Of course, it is easier to just display your strengths. But it requires a deeper level of maturity to accept your weaknesses, too.
In other words, you have to be yourself. Know yourself, accept yourself, and be honest with others about yourself. Be confident enough about who your authentic self is so that you will attract those people who will respect and like, and even love, you for who you REALLY are.
What is the alternative? If you fake yourself, you may attract many, but it’s not sustainable. You will sooner or later reveal your true personality because you cannot fake it for too long. The result is that people will feel betrayed, and you will end up hurting both yourself and others.
There is a saying, that if you are not being yourself, there are those who will love you and hate you. If you are being yourself, there are those who will love you and will hate you also. Therefore, it’s better to just be yourself, because you cannot control those who will hate you anyway. There is a saying, that if you try to please everyone, you will end up pleasing no one.
Therefore, just know yourself, and be yourself. Because you will naturally attract those who will genuinely like you for who you really are as a person. And you cannot do anything about you will NOT like yourself. At least you will find out your true and loyal followers.
So how can you apply this to your NFT project? Well, you have to know what your art is all about. You have to express your authentic and genuine art. Stop copying others. If you copy others who are true to themselves, you will end up burning out yourself. Because you cannot sustain copying them. If other artists are expressing who they are, they won’t mind doing it 24 hours 7 days 365 days a year. But you cannot sustain it, because it’s draining to copy others.
But if you just express your true art with your own spin and personality, you can sustain it for a longer period of time. And eventually, you will attract those who will truly love your own art form. Many artists are just riding the waves of trends, copying here and there. And it’s just short-term success. But if you want to attract long-time followers, stop copying others just for the sake of short-term gains.
Play the long-term game. Market your art that represents your unique and authentic form. That way you don’t have to appear needy, you can confidently just advertise yourself without the fear of being rejected, confident that there are those who will dislike you, but at the same time confident that you will eventually attract those who will stay with you forever and support your creativity.
Yes, market yourself and your NFT project, but not too much. It’s just like dating someone you like. You express your feelings, but do not appear desperate, confident in the value that you can provide in the relationship, knowing your strengths and weaknesses. But at the same time, you can be prepared to get hurt by being rejected. At least you have not betrayed yourself, you shall have been true to yourself.
You would rather be hated for who you are than be loved for being someone you are not. A relationship based on a lie and not honesty is not healthy. Of course, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have to improve yourself. You can still try to improve in areas in your life that can make you a remarkable person.
In the same vein, you still improve your artform, striving to increase the quality of your skill, your art. But until then, may you be grounded and secure enough, and be ready to be rejected, so you can make way for the few but true patrons who will love you and your art. It can be one of the greatest feelings ever.
