‼️A friendly reminder

NFT projects are all the rage right now, but let’s understand the flipside: it’s tough! It takes the labour of a lover for something that may not pan out as expected. You launch and you’re a “public company” with a price tag, sometimes uncorrelated to the value you provide. Be in it for the right reasons.

A couple more reminders from current NFT project founders:

• Good things take time. Many NFT founders have said, “it took much more time than I thought!” Writing smart contracts, curating a quality community, and creating good art does take time! Even when you launch, if you’re here for the long term, there’s a ton of work involved. It’ll also take at least 2 months to launch a quality project with the right team; be ready. Make sure you’re able to put enough time into your NFT baby — your community will thank you for it.

• Get ready for all types of personas. Because web3 communities have financial ties from the very start, members are more emotional and demanding. Stay aware of this, don’t take things too personally and keep a thick skin.

• Don’t rush. Web3 moves at insane speeds, and it gets hard to keep up. But, good things take time to build and quality is better to prioritize than speed.

• Long-term > short-term. Remind yourself of this, especially when your floor price is not as high as you’d like.

• Stick to your vision. Remember what you launched and started this project for.

• Take breaks, and don’t burn out. Given that web3 never sleeps, you’ll constantly need to keep pushing through and staying up 24/7, too. Don’t burn yourself out! It’s ok to take the space to breathe.

• Have fun! No explanation is needed.
