1/2 On diversifying as an artist. The first two years in the NFT space I mainly stuck to Eth chain and mainly did 1/1's It worked, kind of. As someone who has been dedicating a lot of time to being present and supportive, the financial return wasn't at all up to the hours I put in. Luckily the community return largely made up for that. However this does not pay the bills. So the last year I started exploring other chains, L2's, new social media platforms and market places. This diversification has payed of a little bit (mainly thanks to some tipping incentives like Degen, Enjoy and SR).

Diversification has been something I hold close to me - it's a way for me not to have all my eggs in one basket. I've had average success in selling, nothing crazy but not destitute in the sales overall. What really has changed things up is the diversification of web3 platforms - spending more time here on FC, minting to Rodeo/Remx. I have a full-time job that luckily takes care of most of my bills, but I struggle with a mountain of debt (thanks to me being a dummy 20 some odd years ago). I haven't been able to sustain the way I need to, but my earnings here have mostly gone into buying other art since I can't stay away from collecting. On Remx I've passed most my tips on to other artists and just keeping earnings from the sponsored drop (make sure to utilize this - you can drop more than once this way, just not back to back months). I keep telling myself that I will keep minting my work as I see fit, creating collections and they will be available once I have some demand.

Hi Dan, It's nice to read your stand on this and I believe a lot of us artists are in the same financial situation, making ends meet from month to month. The main problem being that NFT's are still seen as a financial investment and not an emotional one. I mean, how many times IRL have you bought something you really like and thought about the monetary value it will hold when time passes. I sure haven't, be it art or other things...
