Hey there!

I checked out your photos and they look really good! I'm not sure how well they can sell on Gumroad. Not many photographers on there as far as I know.

But having them on Open Sea is the important first step.

NFTs have a problem right now. The problem is exposure.

In order to make sales, you need some kind of platform to promote them. Just listing on Open Sea is seldom enough. (But it has worked for a few).

The best way to sell your NFTs is through building a community of people. There are many ways to do this.

I'd start with getting active in the NFT twitter space. Lots of great people will give you feedback and help you grow. Plenty of folks may buy right off that bat so they can be your first. Another good place is Discord.

I'd also recommend allowing people to mint photos for free. This won't give you profit up front. But as your work gets more popular, you'll continue to get sales through royalties. And it will give you the beginnings of a following.

Starting out in NFTs as an unknown can be difficult. But its absolutely possible to make some real money.

Don't give up. Everything in this space is exponential. It might take a year to get your first sale. But going from the 1st to the 100th will be much easier.
