Best Practices For Launching an NFT Collection

So you want to launch an NFT collection. You’re not alone.
As of 2023, “revenues in the NFT market is projected to reach US$1,601.00m in 2023”. On the one hand, NFTs offer an attractive revenue model: its monetization also lies hand-in-hand with increasing user engagement and driving brand loyalty. It can also improve business processes — a lot of start-ups are exploring ways to use NFTs outside the realm of art and games, like tracking the authenticity of a wine bottle or managing health data.
It also has an impact on artists and artisans: it grants them greater control, recognition, and compensation for their work, which is currently lacking in Web 2. Whichever way it’s used, NFTs are emerging as a groundbreaking development in collectibles, cultural influence, traceability, and social impact.

But how to launch a successful project? The success of an NFT project hinges not only on its creation but also on its launch strategy and the choice of the right marketplace. Let’s deep dive into the best practices for launching an NFT, and how choosing the right marketplace is critical:

Launching Your NFT project

1. Preparation, Preparation, Preparation!
Before diving into the NFT world, you need to:

• Define your project’s goals and objectives.
• Identify your target audience — who would be most interested in them?
• Highlight the unique idea and aesthetic behind your collection — how does it stand out?
• Build a strong online presence — NFTs are all online. There’s a lot of noise out there, and you need to be able to find your niche, build it, and engage them.

2. Development, the more technical aspects.

• Choosing the right blockchain and platform — while Ethereum is the most popular one, there are other options out there.
• Create high-quality digital content.
• Establishing the ownership and authenticity of your NFT — You need to ensure it’s minted on a recognized blockchain, provide associated metadata, and verify its origin through trusted platforms or your official channels.
• Address any legal considerations — can be tricky, but so important!

3. Market and Promote:
With NFTs, you can’t be humble. You need to promote and show off your collection with a strong marketing strategy. This includes:

• Finding the right social media platforms and using them. Consistency is key.
• Find collaboration opportunities with influencers, brands, or projects that are in sync with your collection.
• Leverage existing NFT communities. Discord, Telegram, and Twitter are all great platforms that have active users engaged in the world of NFTs.

4. Choosing The Right NFT Marketplace:
Choosing the right marketplace can make or break your NFT project. You need to consider:

• User Base: The majority of digital collectibles’ trade volume is managed by just three platforms which means there’s a barrier to entry for newcomers: there’s saturation, and the need to establish credibility first to be found in the noise of platforms like OpenSea or Rarible.
• Fees: Different platforms have varying fee structures and you need to choose one that is within your budget.
• White-label: White-label NFT marketplaces offer users a customizable, pre-built platform that ensures rapid deployment while maintaining brand consistency.
