Y'all know me, I draw the undead and mint on the WAX blockchain, but did you know that a Zickle enjoys the taste of human terror. 
Did you also know that the WAX blockchain could easily be an emerging artists best way to raise funds to survive and thrive in an increasingly hard to survive in market. It's totally possible as long as the artist is willing to start small and do the work.
One thing that emerging artists need to get past is that their worth is not the same as what other people are willing to spend. No one knows who we are when we start out and even when people start to know who we are, it doesn't mean they're actually willing to give us their hard earned dollars for something we create for fun, as a way to earn.
So we as artists need to get creative and clever. We need to use our artistic skills to come up with little games that allow the people that like your art spend small amounts a lot of times over time. WAX allows us to do that but you need to get creative.
Here's an Example
- You create a small series of art, lets say 10 drawings of mushrooms
- That's 10 artworks that can be NFTs
- 10 NFTs to collect to get the whole series.
- Collect all 10 get a special Limited Edition NFT
- Put those NFTs in a pack, 5 per pack
- GIVE THEM AWAY to a bunch of people randomly
- Create a drop and SELL the packs for 10 cents each
- each sale is now 10 cents for you and all those that got a free pack will probably buy another 1 or 2 to get the whole set
Then there are blends and stuff afterwards that make people want to spend another 10 cents. And another ... and i'll tell you why below.
But once you have a clever and creative way for people to collect your artwork, you also need a creative and clever way to get people interested. WAX allows us to do that by letting us easily give to those that want to try. You can build a twitter audience, begin building a discord. Whatever you want to do you can use WAX to help build that audience.
But it takes time. It won't happen over night and the success could be a long time coming, but small steps towards that success will pay off.
So now that you have the audience and the clever idea and you're making some money ... how do you build on that? What's next?
Well WAX has your back again with ways to help you solidify your brand and bring solidarity to your community. You can open up your own community token that allows your community access to exclusive NFTs that don't actually cost them money because . . . they're farming for that community token in the community NFT farms.
Then on top of that, some of your community will be selling those exclusive NFTs for WAX in the WAX marketplaces earning you up to 15% in commissions each and ever time while earning your community WAX because they got that NFT for free from the token they farmed in your community.
WHAT EVEN IS THIS ? ?
So why would your collector want to spend that extra 10 cents?
So they can get that exclusive before someone else, then farm it, sell it or hold it for later.
Cost to start? Less than a good cup of coffee.
That's it. I'm outta steam for writing and I don't really know what else to say. Got questions? Ask me in the comments.
