I'm an absolute nobody in the art world. I started minting my art in early 2020. This year i have made about 2.5x my tech salary from NFT sales and royalties. NFTS are an amazing deal for creators.
You are right that there's a barrier to entry as far as minting costs, but it's a small price to pay to find out if you have an audience.
Furthermore, there are now thriving NFT communities on chains like Tezos and Solana, where it costs pennies to mint.
- serverholic 5y agoThis is what I've seen too. For example, I saw an artist on twitter crying because she was able to get out of debt from selling NFTs. My experience has been largely positive. Artists get better paid. The fans can buy something that gives them a more personal connection with the artist. Everyone else can still view the art for free.
- iamacyborg 5y agoWhat was stopping people from buying your art before? Are they only buying it now because of FOMO that other people are making money by buying jpg's?

- twox2 5y agoOf course I enjoy the money, but if I can benefit form it, then so can others. I'm also into the tech. I enjoy blockchain development and creating NFTs with unique minting/burning mechanisms.
- NicoJuicy 5y agoPerhaps it becomes clear when you realize that your NFT trials come from your tech background and surely not from your art background. Most people don't earn any money on NFT and almost definitely not people without a tech background and a small name reconnaissance. Eg. Who does your graphic design for the NFT's?
- casi18 5y agobeing paid for your work is greed? because art has no value? you want artists to suffer, is that it? I think it is wonderful this person is making money with their art.
- NicoJuicy 5y agoHe's not an artist as he mentioned. He's a tech guy that says artists get paid with NFT's, while he earns money with NFT's. See the contradiction? I'm pretty sure his art in a normal situation wouldn't have much value. It would surprise me if anything else has been done than copy/pasting or creating an avatar.
- eropple 5y agoHave you computed how much environmental damage you personally have created? I work to minimize mine, my home's pretty well analyzed to reduce power and consumables usage and I'm in the process of prepping for solar. How are you atoning for your burnings?
- twox2 5y agoI think the environmental impact is overstated. It's often conflated with the environmental impact of Bitcoin. I haven't touched Bitcoin in years. Also POS chains have active NFT ecosystems, like Tezos.
- koonsolo 5y agoSolana is proof of stake, not proof of work. So probably pretty minimal.

NFTS are an amazing deal for creators. I'm not sure what marketplace you're on, but assuming an average tech salary of $100k USD, earning $250k in 12 months would put you well within the top 100 earners on SuperRare. The majority of artists in that tier have over 50,000 followers each, so the fact you're able to compete with them as a 'nobody' means you're a special case.
