While there are no bulletpoints that needs to be ticked in order to determine an NFT projects success, there sure are ways to avoid a disaster.

Art, Concept & Utility

You might find it handy to work out the face of your project and collection before you start getting the tech in place. Collectors and investors don’t just purchase your NFTs because they “look nice”. This is the world of crypto. People want to make money. How is your collection going to help them make money? What are the plans for your collection? Where do the proceeds go? These are some things your collectors want to know.

Community

NFT communities flock together on Twitter and Discord. Having an established presence on these platforms is crucial and determines the longevity of your project and your success. Keeping an engaged community is key to maintaining the hype required to generate FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) & keep your project pumping.

The Tech

Operating an NFT project on the blockchain requires some tech work. Minting engines, smart contracts, websites & marketplaces. The most popular NFT projects are launched on the Ethereum blockchain, and NFTs from these Ethereum collections are sold & purchased via marketplaces like OpenSea.
