Marketing

After your book is published you will need to form some type of marketing strategy to create a demand for your book. Organic guerrilla marketing is my favorite way to market my books. Find your fan base and focus on them…take pics…reach out to people to leave reviews…do pop ups. The possibilities are endless once you are a published author. This is a great accomplishment. Congratulations. Keep going.

How to create an NFT?

To create an NFT (non-fungible token), you will need to follow these general steps:

Create or acquire the digital asset that you want to mint as an NFT. This can be a digital artwork, video, music, 3D model, or any other type of digital file.
Choose a blockchain platform to mint your NFT on. Popular choices include Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Polygon.
Use a tool or service, such as OpenSea, Rarible, or SuperRare, to mint your NFT. These platforms typically provide user-friendly interfaces and tools for creating and managing NFTs.
Provide the necessary information and metadata for your NFT, such as its title, description, and any additional details you want to include.
Set a price for your NFT and list it for sale on the chosen platform.

It’s important to note that creating an NFT is a complex process and it’s recommended that you should have some technical knowledge of blockchain technology, smart contracts, and web3 wallets.

Additionally, the cost of minting an NFT can vary significantly depending on the blockchain platform you choose, and you will also need to pay for gas fees to mint and transfer your NFT.
