Why interviews with NFT artists are important.
The NFT market has grown massively in the last year. There are the well-known projects like the Bored Ape Yacht Club, but there are also many artists who want to market their art as NFT.
These artists usually don’t have a team behind them to help them with the marketing.
So they have to take care of it themselves.
As we know, the NFT space is mainly on Twitter.
That’s where the projects and the artists move.
As an artist you have a few possibilities to present your art there.
What are the possibilities for NFT artists to promote their NFT?
The most popular way is shill tweets.
These are made by artists, collectors and influencers and anyone can showcase their NFT underneath. You can recognize the tweets by the keywords like shill, drop, show your art / nft.
Some give certain rules, which should be followed, e.g. no links, only pictures…
The shill tweets from large accounts have several hundred comments relatively quickly, so you then get lost in the masses.
The shill tweets from small accounts usually don’t get much attention, so these tweets get lost in the crowd.
When shilling your own art, it is important that this is not done with every tweet. If someone tweets something and then comments on it with their own NFTs, it doesn’t go down well.
Connections
Friendships must be cultivated. This is also the case in the NFT area.
Here it works primarily about supporting others. This is done through likes, retweets or quoted retweets.
This is also one of the important ways how a small profile on Twitter grows.
This support for others should be done without expecting anything in return. If you just do it, it will automatically come back.
Constantly asking others for retweets or likes is not well received.
Direct messages
Direct messages are a way to get in contact with others.
Here it is also to be taken with caution if you bombard others with DMs and ask them to retweet a tweet. This is also not well received.
If you only think about yourself, you don’t stand a good chance. And that’s a good thing.
Only together we are strong.
But DMs can also go down completely. If someone does not follow you, then it can be that your DM goes down as a message request.
DM groups
There is also the option to create DM groups and show your art to all members. Some people don’t want to be in such a group.
Also, the messages in these groups quickly become cluttered and the notifications can get annoying.
Twitter Spaces
The Twitter Spaces are also a great option for projects or artists to present themselves. There are different formats here, you have to keep your eyes open to discover the right ones.
I was wondering what is really missing in the NFT world.
There are already all kinds of things. But what was missing were interviews with NFT artists. Apart from the really big names who of course have interviews in well-known magazines every now and then.
So I thought about how I can raise the easiest. Medium offers itself there naturally, since it is simple to publish articles here.
I publish the interviews in a separate publication so that there is a clear structure.
I have thought about possible questions. I looked at the questions again and again over several days until I was satisfied.
It helped me that I was allowed to conduct countless interviews with people many years ago.
Since I would like to treat everyone the same, but still give a certain flexibility, I decided that at least 10 questions should be answered.
So the concept “10+ Questions To A NFT Artist” was born.
I started to contact the artists on Twitter or by mail. The big names like Beeple are not really reachable.
Instead I have been able to reach some great and successful artists, of course with support from others like CryptoRabbit.
The artists are all very kind and happy to be interviewed.
It’s nice to get this great response and it’s nice if I can help them with it.
The interviews will be published successively.
At the time of writing this article, 4 interviews are published and some are just waiting to be.
More artists have agreed to do the interviews.
To promote the interviews better I bought a NFT from the first 6 artists and raffle it on Twitter.
The concept is growing continuously. It’s nice to get to know the people behind the Twitter profiles and learn more about them.
Would you also like to learn more about the people in the NFT world?
Then you can do that here: 10+ Questions To A NFT Artist.
