## Comprehensive Guide: From Creating to Selling NFTs for Newbies

**Quick Summary** — The NFT ( non-fungible token ) allows you to convert anything digital into a valuable asset: from images, music, videos to in-game items. The process of creating NFTs has become more accessible than ever, but success in **selling NFTs** requires you to have a clear understanding of costs, pricing, and market strategy.

## What is NFT — the foundation of digital assets

NFT is essentially a digital certificate that proves ownership of a unique item. Unlike regular digital copies that can be infinitely replicated, NFTs are stored on a blockchain — a decentralized ledger that no one can alter or delete its data.

This offers a completely new opportunity for creators. They can earn money directly from their works, without intermediaries. Consequently, innovation is encouraged and creative industries receive powerful tools for development.

## NFT applications that are changing the creative world

NFT is not limited to a single field. This technology is being widely applied:

**Art field** — Digital works (ranging from images, animations to AI-generated works )can be tokenized. Digital artists now have full control over their works from creation to sell.

**Video content** — Works from short films, music videos to live sports clips can all become NFTs. This allows creators to reach a global audience without relying on a platform.

**Music and audio assets** — Musicians can sell songs, albums, or even concert tickets directly as NFTs. This creativity allows them to decide the number of copies created to be limited or unlimited.

**Games and digital collectibles** — Virtual trading cards, game characters, weapons, or skins can be owned and traded like real collectibles. For the first time, the scarcity of these items can be publicly verified on the blockchain.

## Who can create NFT — Democratizing blockchain technology

Almost anyone can create an NFT if they have an Internet connection. Blockchain has democratized this technology, allowing artists, musicians, game developers, and anyone with creativity to participate.

However, to succeed, you need to have a basic knowledge of blockchain and the NFT minting process (. This is not overly specialized knowledge, but rather concepts that you can learn quickly.

## Detailed roadmap: How to create NFT step by step

) Step 1: Choose the blockchain that suits your needs

Blockchain is the platform that permanently stores your NFT, so this choice is very important — you cannot change it after the NFT has been created.

Ethereum is the most popular choice, but there are also other options:
- **BNB Chain** — Focused on high performance
- **Solana** — Low transaction costs, fast speed
- **Cardano** — Sustainable priority
- **EOS** — Large scalability

Before deciding, compare the transaction fees (gas fees), compatible wallets, and the popularity of the platform in the NFT market.

### Step 2: Set up a digital wallet and prepare cryptocurrency

You need a cryptocurrency wallet compatible with the selected blockchain. It is extremely important to **safeguard your private keys or seed phrase** — losing them means losing permanent access to your wallet and assets.

Next, buy enough native cryptocurrency of that blockchain to pay for gas fees when minting the NFT. You can purchase from a cryptocurrency exchange or directly through some wallets.

( Step 3: Choose the appropriate NFT market

Choose an NFT platform that is compatible with your blockchain and wallet. Fortunately, there are many options available today, ranging from specialized marketplaces to full-service platforms that allow you to create, list, and sell NFTs all in one place.

) Step 4: Create your NFT — Practical steps

The specific process varies depending on the platform, but the general steps include:

1. **Connect Digital Wallet** — Find the "Connect Wallet" button or similar on the platform and verify your identity.

2. **Access the NFT creation section** — Find the "Create", "Mint" or "Upload" section on the interface.

3. **Prepare media files** — Depending on the type of content:
- Images/illustrations: Use Photoshop, Illustrator, or free tools
- 3D works: Blender, Maya ###output in GLB###
- Video/Music: Restore high quality
- You can even use AI to create images from text descriptions.
- Ensure correct format: JPG, PNG for 2D; GLB for 3D

4. **Upload the file and fill in the information** — Provide the name, detailed description for the NFT. You can add special rights such as access to exclusive content, event tickets or limit the number of copies.

5. **Confirm and create** — Click "Create" or "Mint", confirm the transaction in your wallet, and wait for the blockchain to process. Your NFT will appear shortly.

### Step 5: List NFT for sell

After creation, NFTs are not automatically put up for sale. You need to find the "Sell" or "List" option on the platform, set your desired price, and adjust other terms. This step is not mandatory, but it will help you promote and earn better.

## Cost of Creating NFT — What You Need to Know

Creating NFT incurs costs, mainly from:

**Gas fee ( transaction )** — When minting an NFT, you have to pay a fee to the blockchain to process the transaction. This fee varies depending on network demand. For example, Ethereum is often more expensive than Solana or BNB Chain.

**Platform fee** — Some markets charge a fixed fee or a percentage of the selling price.

**Listing and Selling Fees** — If you sell an NFT, the platform will take a commission that typically ranges from 2-10%.

**Storage Costs** — Similar to storing traditional artworks, NFTs can incur digital storage costs if using centralized services.

When planning, be sure to calculate all these costs to ensure profitability.

## NFT Valuation — The Art and Science Combined

The price of an NFT depends on many factors: rarity, utility, the reputation of the creator, aesthetics, the story behind it, and community support.

**Practical approach:**

- **Unique evaluation and utility value** — What makes your NFT different? What utility does it have in virtual worlds?

- **Market research** — Compare with similar NFTs. Use the floor price ( of peer collections as a starting point.

- **Flexible with feedback** — Pricing NFTs is both an art and a science. Be ready to adjust prices based on community reactions and market conditions.

- **Consult** — Reach out to other NFT creators. The cryptocurrency community is very supportive of newbies.

## Copyright and Content Theft — A Section You Should Not Overlook

**Golden rule:**
- You must own the rights to the NFT content or be permitted by the original creator.
- Stealing not only poses legal risks but also harms the original creator.
- Always ask for permission and respect the work of others

However, to succeed, it is not just about creating content that people want, but also understanding costs, pricing, and how to effectively **sell NFTs**.
