- If you're looking to kick start your NFT collection, I also offer 1hr one-on-one consults to help you get started - just reach out to me and we can start the conversation.
I decided I would try sell my photos as NFTs and over a 3 month period this is how much I made.
I have two main thoughts which I didn't add to this video...
1, I realise how blessed I am and maybe some others may not sell the same as me.
2, Although I feel like I had a great result selling my photos, there is many others who have sold much more than I have.
I hope you enjoy. This is the first of many NFT / Investing videos I plan to make this year. Be sure to subscribe!

7:53 he actually starts talking about it
Great video man. Looking to sell some of my art work I’ve been sitting on for many years but would be great to see a video from you on what sort of cost implications were involved from uploading to selling. 👍🏽
Thank you so much Ben for sharing your thoughts and experiences with the world! Helpful and informative! God bless and good luck!
Ben thanks for all the info . Love the straight forward info without any upsale.
My pleasure 🙏🏽
I just found your channel when searching for information about NFT's. I'm an old school photographer (69yo) and I have just had someone want to buy some of my images in digital format not PRINT!. I knew nothing about this format and I'm grateful for your VLOG outlining your journey.
Thanks for this super informative video! Someone got in touch with me to buy my work as nft and I had no idea about this whole block chain and nft universe.
It all sounds so intimidating but you simplified it so beautifully. Thank you!! May you sell a whole lot of nfts! 🍻🍻
You're so welcome!
Same Ive had people contact me asking to sell NFT's of my art. I said no. But I'm as we speak, turning some of my art into NFT's. I like the idea of controlling my art myself.
Thanks Ben,
Awesome video love the info your putting out there. I really look forward to the next instalment and getting some nft’s up myself videos like this really help with that process
✌🏼Mish
Thanks Mish! Appreciate the support. Next one is already in the works!
@@benmack amazing 🙌🏼
Id love to know roughly how much it cost to mint an nft and are there ongoing fees once it minted?
@@mish7441 it depends on the platform and the contract you use (I know sounds complicated), but it depends. It could be as low as $50 and as high as $700+. Ongoing there’s generally no fees.
@@benmack Thankyou, also once you’ve minted your art as an nft you can still sell it in the physical world as prints yeh?
@@mish7441 yep. Those rules are completely up to you.
thanks Ben.. your info is helpful for this old school photographer & art collector looking to re-create once again.. Cheers
Happy to help!
Great video Ben. Looking forward to move videos on this.
You and me both!
This was excellent! Thank you for sharing. I am looking into starting right now.
Great video Ben. Thanks for creating this one
Thanks a bunch. Hopefully I can make a few more 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I truly enjoyed your Video, wonderful and congrats. I am just setting up with Open sea (Step one lol) and yes learning is a big step. Exactly, setting up for artworks, i am grateful for your comments.
You got this!
Great video Ben. Thanks for the advice and have a good day too.
Appreciate that! All the best
Hi Ben, Thanks for this interesting video - great job. I was looking at your pictures and was wondering what kind of drone equipment you use. Any recommendations? You have some fascinating images out there - for example #22 Moments in Tide - Liquid Textures. Keep up the good work! Cheers, Ralph
Hi Ralph, I use mainly DJI drones and an assortment of them over the years. Currently I'm shooting on the Mavic 3 Cine and the Mini 3. But this could change in the future. Many of my NFTs were shot with the Mavic 2 Pro
I am encouraged. Thank you, sir. More power.
Glad I could help! 🙏🏽
HI, what was your experience? How much did u got?
I agree with you, there isn't still much content of how to sell artwork as NFT. I would like to see your video of how to get started! Look forward to it!
It's on the radar, I will be producing it in the NY as a few other projects have held me up from making that one.
I want to thank you, This is the best video I have watched yet!
Wow, thank you!
Excellent video. Thanks Ben.
Hi, did you ever do the follow up videos? Had a look but could not find anything? Thanks this one was great 😁
Looking forward to the detailed how to... 👍😍
Thanks Ben, this was super useful!
Glad to hear it!
great video.. I been trying to sell my photos as NFT but I'm scared of the process as I have never done it and it's confusing to me ... thanks for sharing your experience
It might take some time, but stick with it!
Thanks Ben!
loved this style of video
Great video thanks for sharing. Question for you, had you ever sold prints of the photos you chose for your nfts? Been wondering how that works with perceived ownership, I guess the digital copy is a separate medium for the photo than the print? Lmk!
No issues with prints. I keep them separate. You can (if you choose to) include rights to print also. That’s the beauty of NFTs, you can write the contracts, set royalties on future sales or anything how you like.
@@benmack think it’s time I give a genesis collection a whirl, thanks for the reply!
Thanks for sharing this information
My pleasure!
Hey so cool and subscribed straight away. This is a really interesting video to me. I've been caught up in the nft space for nearly a year now but only on the crazy pfp side of things😀. I'd love to start selling my photography and have been searching for a discord community for like minded people but have never come across one. As you no doubt are aware it's the community side of things that drives and is so special in the nft world so I'd love to hear if you know of one. If not, please start one, I'd jump on in straight away 👍
Good idea. I did jump in a few but they all seem pretty quiet now. I did create one with the intention of getting a community happening, but I've just been a little flat out with other work.
Thanks for this video... Question, if I find a picture I liked on the web, I decided to paint it show it on the net ans this guy comes and wants to buy it.... What happens then I did what he wants to buy but the source is taken buy a photographer... Who owns this painting in the end of the day?
Hi Ben question to be clear when you say you have sold 21 images for about AUD$15 000 how much money did you actually get in your bank account as I don't understand this whole NFT thing yet and how many editions do you sell as a NFT is it just the original... and can you still sell actual prints of the same image that you've sold as a NFT thx much appreciate the video and any reply
Thanks for the advice!
No problem!
Such an interesting video. I have a good amount of followers on instagram who keep messaging me to sell art as NFT’s but having looked into it I found it so overwhelming I have no idea where to start! Super intimidating
Careful with that. I get about 3 of those requests a day and almost 100% of them are scams. They'll always want you to transfer the NFT in a sketchy way, and when you offer them a legit alternative like Open Sea, they disappear never to be seen again
We learn from each other and it seems like there is small window of initial interest. Like any business there has to be some promotion to keep the nft current. Think of how many nft are minted daily. As an approach, I would say, raise your price ridiculous and sell it in fragments. As long as it's only one token it maintains it's value and is more liquid. People can trade the fragments which will increase the over all value. And mint only 49%. I'm not an expert, just a student.
Thanks!
Hi, is this still working a year after you posted this video?
Hi I just watched your video which was really interesting. Someone asked me if they could buy my work as NFT and I don’t have a clue how to do this. I saw that your video is a year old. Is NFT still worth to get into?
Thanks
Jolita
Thank you I appreciate the video
No problem 👍
Thank you. I had a man ask me about purchasing 5 of my landscape photographs on Instragram at 1500.00 each as NFT’s which i know nothing about. I am afraid he is a scammer? Its very confusing.
They could very well be, there’s plenty of them out there. Just remember not to give any of your seed phrases to anyone, or send anyone any money. If they want, they can buy.
Can you put name of this man cause me too this week come to le with the same offre but deferent price, and please how's it going are the deal goes well?
Thats is a scammer trying to get you to get you to be interested in selling NFTs
@@joshuajondaylol
I just had this as well, how could you tell its a scam and someone really wanting to buy?
Thank you for the explanation! Can I just transfer the money from Open Sea to my paypal?
Thanks for sharing your story. I'd love to learn more about how you marketed your NFTS.
Great idea! I think I will combine this with the How to Get started video too
All done ✌🙏
I have a few pieces I wouldn’t mind selling/renting either. But I wonder if it’d do any good, if my business is now defunct.
This video is so helpful!
Glad I could help!
I’d be very interested in hearing about your approach to engagement in the twitter/discord communities. I’m only just starting to learn about NFT’s but from what I’m learning, twitter/discord is how the game is played, using influencers and community building strategy, whitelists and all sorts of other things I don’t yet understand 😂
It's definitely a huge part of it. Being an active member of the community and engaging and supporting others is a big part of having your work get eyeballs. But this is also one of the best ways to learn more about the space and really make meaningful connections with people who are like you. I will probably make a video about this in the future too.
i always wonder, so if NFTs are digital art right? what will be its purpose then for the buyer? since its not like a physical art wherein they can be displayed in their homes and stuff. is it just all about ownership? or do we not really care about what the buyer's intent for buying the NFT? hahaha im so confused by all of this.
Hi Ben. The info you share with your experience has been very useful for me. I’m currently preparing to present my first NFT collection, and I wanted to know, since your first collection was deployed on ethereum, did you have to pay the gas fees for each of your photos? Or did you use the lazy minting? Gas fees on eth are so expensive, and I’m afraid that lazy minting could discourage a prospective collector. Do you think Polygon it’s actually an option for a first collection’? Thank you 😊
Gas is way cheaper now than it was a year or so ago! But in saying that, ETH is where the buyers are atm. Polygon is more for other types of NFTs and I personally don't know of any artists making significant waves on there at this time.
@Official AnnYusra Coinbase is an exchange where you can buy crypto currency, right? so, what's te difference between Coinbase and others like Nexo, or Binance?
Hey great video! I’m inspired..
easy to understand thanks
How much does it cost to mint a photo on opensea?
Thanks for the content. You’re the first person I’ve watched to admit successfully selling NFTs. I just minted my first collection on OpenSea, but the only reactions I’ve received were from scammers. Is it still worth selling NFTs in 2023 or is it a waste of time? I’d really like to know. Cheers
Wish you success, I wish to have success as well in the world of NFTS..altho i haven’t started Iv been involved with communities and buying. Iv always wanted to be a seller but offer something more then what they purchased. Something tangible, something worth being a part of.
Half way through, I realised, you & I have a similar behinnings regards breaking into the NFT market. 💙
It’s a journey huh!
Hen YOU sell an NFT of YOUR art, is it still yours to sell, or say put on the cover of your book... Or does copyright & royalty transfer to the buyer...
Hi Ben! Thank you for sharing all these experiences. I want to ask do you think it will be ok to sell that nft that you have on your book cover? Also I want to know if i sell my art after minting as nft ...Can i keep the painting ? or show it at exhibition etc....
When it comes to selling NFTs or anything that is your own creation, to be fair, the rules are yours. You decide what you sell and what you keep.
@benmack That makes sense. 😊 Thanks for replying .
I’m curious about marketing these. Regarding those that were on opensea-did you continuing to market these the same as you did with the launch? If not perhaps that’s why it slowed down? What if these were available for a limited time? So there’s a sense of urgency. Then you market each new collection, and take it down after. You can always bring them back like an anniversary series or something.
I’m definitely interested in creating videos of my physical paintings then minting them, but I’m still listening and learning-so I don’t know the rules to putting up and then taking down-however, I do know selling and whenever something is limited and in a limited time, people respond with more emotion and make purchase.
All these are great suggestions! It's definitely worth putting in the time to understand the space and learn how it all works, the better you understand the better decisions you'll make
Hi , sooo I am a graphics designer. I already have my own website /socials , should I make a seperate account to market my NFTs ... but I already have a following on my other accounts. It would kind of suck to start from square one again . Any recommendations ?
Selling NFTs is as much about marketing and branding yourself as it is about selling great art. I would personally stick with your established account. But if it doesn't align to the art you're creating, you might want to start fresh.
I love it😁
Thanks!
You have to keep marketing your work. Thx for info
So good bro
thanks mate!
Hi, thanks for your great video but, how much did it cost you to start on opensea and how do you get paid transferred to your bank? I'm confused with that! How much do I pay to start with?
You'll need a small amount of funds to pay the gas fees to list on Opensea. But this shouldn't be too much. You could probably get away with $50-100 to be safe
@@benmack How are funds transferred to bank accounts?
great video..thanks
please make more videos - it has been overwhelming to begin
Glad you liked it!
17:00 so I looked on your channel and where is the video about setting up the wallet? The next video is about a minimalist desk. Why? What happened? Was something not right? Did something go wrong?
To be honest, this video only started receiving views recently, so I actually thought people weren't interested in the follow up. There's also been a bunch of change in the space too. But the plan is still to make that next step video, so I'm just collating all the info for it now.
obrigado - thanks - muito legal - wonderfull
Hi Ben ,thank you so much for sharing your experience with Nft . I really believe that digital art is a future and I will also sell my artwork as Nft. Many art collectors got in touch with me and asked me to sell my art as nft. Thank you for your great video !!!
Hi Ben. Great video. I sell prints of my landscape photos. If I sell the image as an NFT, will I have any rights to it? Can I still sell prints of it?
wow
Listed my first item hours ago 😮
Good luck!
Which contract to list better, Etherium or Polygon. Polygon has cheaper gas fees and everything but still everyone uses Etherium, why?
Hi Ben, would it be possible to sell your photo as an NFT but also keep selling it as a print in your webshop? Or does an NFT have to a unique piece, never to be sold again in print?
would like to know this too !
You should be able to send them as prints even if it is sold as NFT
DO you have foundation invitation?
haven't minted yet.... hesitant with environmental impact of ETH, vs. Tezos or Polygon....seems you can def make more money but what are your thoughts about this?
It's certainly something I'm thinking about. In saying this, I'm pretty optimistic about the future of it too. I can only see more innovation that will address those issues.
Where is the video where you explain the costs/fees you had to deal with?
Wow. Many words without saying much
Where are the follow up videos????? I subscribed and looked under videos in your channel but find nothing related to this subject.
Now that 1 ETH is worth so little, how did you modify - if so - your prices? 2.2 ETH is absolutely cheap when you consider the market now
Just curious but do you have any utilities to go with your NFTs?
I offer a free print with some of my NFTs, but I'm open to all sorts of different utilities. I think this is where NFTs can really become unique and long term useful
@@benmack Were you shipping that print or only digital download?
I get weekly requests from people around the world asking to buy multiple amounts of my art as NFTs. I have just ignored these messages as I thought it was a scam or something...and I wouldn't even know how to do it. I told one guy today that I am looking into it, and he's now offered to pay even more than his 1st offer. To me, this is all just a mystery.. so I will need to start finding out how to sell my art as NFTs. Does it cost a fortune to set it up?
How much does it cost to start out on open sea if you already got artwork ready to sell?
It's not a lot, it's basically transaction fee's to get to started. But you'll need ETH to begin with. I'd say about $50-100 should be plenty.
Thank you for the video. Quite a competitive thing, NFTs. 😂 Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Someone want to buy my photos for etherum nfts 😊20k how do I make that? Never did that before or it’s scam?
Greetings sir!
Love your content♥️
Sir i am an artist like i do photography video editing kinda stuff. In short i just tried AI art and mad an Instagram account for it and there i got a number of people who wanna buy my art as NFT but i am very new in all this. Kindly guide how can i sell them what is the procedure and is there some fee of it or not? I wanna know everything.
Thankyou♥️
Hopefully I'll make another video for you soon
✌🤘👊
Thanks for the video.. can you tell me anything about selling historical NFT's from my show?
I have no idea. But I guess it would be the same as selling any other NFT
@@benmackThanks for the reply... it just seems that most people are just trying to get a fast buck, and although the money is nice, I really want to educate people about the real history of online video with my show. I use opensea but there is nothing else really like what I do there. I wasn't sure how to proceed. Suggestions appreciated.
What does "Unboard" mean?
onboard. Bringing new people into the space
I don't have a laptop, can I use my phone to create and sell nft
probably, you might run into some wallet issues on some NFT sites, but I guess it's possible.
I just got into this 2 weeks ago and it is a huge learning curve. Just the start up is kind of ridiculous. For warning for those starting, there is a fee to start up, on Opensea the cost is $350 on your first sale. You don't have to pay that until you get your first sale but you also have to put that money in before you get money for your first sale.
Do you pay for subsequent sales?
@@MaLiArtworks186 I think there is just a transaction fee between you and the seller after the initial part. To continue my story because someone bought my items before I had money in the account and it takes a long time to get money in there, they will charge you $1,000 to make sure no loss of money to the buyer has happened. Now if they don't report any losses you get all that money back. So the advice is to have money already in Metamask before you start posting any art to sell.
Not quite $350. But yes, there are fee's involved to sell. But this fluctuates with the current gas fee's on ETH
I heard Polygon has no gas fees?
What platform should I use as a beginner?
Most are good. Probably Opensea is the easiest to work with in the beginning.
@@benmack Ok great! because I had no clue . I draw a lot, so I wanted to see if I could profit from it. Thank you for responding.
Brother when are you dropping the next video?
I've been meaning to do one. The bear market has cooled everything a little recently but it's definitely up there with a video I want to do.
How do we turn Etheruim into dollars?
You sell them on an exchange
not to bad mate
Cheers!
So if I gave you a picture and you made an NFT out of it.
How much do you want for it ?
The work ?
I am intressted to know..
I’m not even sure I understand what you’re asking.
@@benmack Maybe he's trying to ask about your onboarding process. I'm interested in that too.
I know so much more now
Please which app is best for nfts Creation on mobile phone.
I'm a beginner
Should do a video about navigating tax time with crypto? Bc I def don’t know 😅
Haha maybe I’m the wrong guy for that one! 🙈
How to solve insufficient ERC-20 token on the seller account
No idea
Are you thinking about getting into NFTS? What would you like to know?
Thanks for these videos! Just more tips on how to do this well and maybe tips for getting accepted on Foundation or Superrare. I am a photographer and still in learning stage. I've never created or bought an NFT so your video was essential to help me understand! Thanks Ben. Subbed and followed you on instagram
I'm a complete beginner but would also like to learn about photography as NFTs. How can someone who knows next to nothing and doesn't have a lot of money get started? It seems the more I look into it, the more I don't know and get a bit confused.
Thank you so much for this video. i will love to know what genre of pictures sells well on NFT
Hyped
@@gicechicken7062 Your style is perfect for cutting through all of this confusing process. Can't wait to see the next video.
*_Ah, but Etherium ain't what it used to be!_*
That’s for sure.
so if you sell these pictures as nft, then the buyer owns them fully and can use them in videos, ads for anything they want to advertise or political ads or whatever they choose?
Only if you choose to give away those rights. Otherwise, you still own everything.
@@benmack if you dont sell the rights to use the picture, then why would anyone ever buy it
@@spacecatboy2962 because they still want to own the digital artwork. But some people do give up the rights. It’s the beauty of the smart contracts they are attached to NFTs, you can do whatever you want to do.
@@benmack so the nft could be a picture i took of a barn when i 8 years old?
@@spacecatboy2962 Sure, why not.
12:30 but if Ethereum itself goes up...this becomes "double stream"
The block chain that is so highly touted is flawed. Easily manipulated by super fast computers to where the people running those computers will always yield a payout.
How can you upload your art to.opensea?
