What types of NFTs sell the best?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are millions of NFTs currently available for sale across all the marketplaces, so how do you know what types of NFTs people are looking to buy? Here are the top NFT trends to cash in on now, and heading into the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Art is without a doubt one of the most popular types of NFTs people are currently buying. Technically, the very first NFT ever created was a piece of art, or rather a digital animation called Quantum<\/a>. Although Quantum was only the beginning, NFTs were traded by more than 28 million wallets in 2021, totaling over $40 billion of NFT trading volume for the entire year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A majority of those NFTs traded were art. Beeple\u2019s Everyday – \u201cThe First 5,000 Days\u201d<\/a>, sold for $69 million dollars alone. Furthermore, there\u2019s no limit to who can make and sell NFT art<\/a>. 12-year old Nyla Hayes, for example, made $1.6 million selling her artwork<\/a> popularly known as the Long Neckie Ladies NFT<\/a> collection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The reason why I believe that NFT art sells so well is that art is an easy concept to understand, especially when dealing with such a foreign technological platform like web3 and blockchain technology. Additionally, art is a form of communication, and web3 is all about creating and communicating your interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With that being said, I believe art will always have a special place in the NFT market for years to come, but it will get more difficult to sell NFT art\u2014both as a creator and investor\u2014as time goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I say this because eventually, supply will outweigh demand and new use-cases will appear for NFTs as well, meaning they\u2019ll be more widely adopted and used for normal things in addition to art. In other words, NFTs will soon be the new \u2018\u2019norm\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2021 was the year of profile picture projects (PFP). If you\u2019ve ever spent one-minute searching NFT hashtags on Twitter, then it\u2019s likely you\u2019ve seen the mass amounts of people with random animals, creatures, and other creations as their profile pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, Twitter has now made it possible for Twitter Blue members to authenticate their PFP NFTs<\/a> by connecting their web3 wallet to their Twitter profile picture. This is a big statement from such a large brand, further solidifying my confidence in PFP NFTs being one of the best kinds of NFTs that sell well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PFP NFTs have already proved to be a solid type of NFT<\/a> to buy, sell, and trade. If you are looking for the next best NFT to sell, you may want to look into some PFP NFT projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Artificial intelligence-generative NFT art projects are becoming increasingly popular<\/a> in the NFT space, especially to those who are interested in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain<\/a>, and the metaverse<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This concept of AI-generative art isn\u2019t necessarily new, however, it hasn\u2019t gained the same kind of attention as user-generated art and PFP NFTs, yet. AI-generative art is created by inputting images, sounds, or words into a generator that mixes the contents together to create something entirely new and unique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some examples of generative NFT art projects include NOUNs Dao<\/a>, (The Ghost of) Frank Dukes<\/a>, and Eponym<\/a>. The possibilities are endless when it comes to AI-generative art because humans can now take their own ideas and automatically generate them into something new and beautiful using technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another trending category of NFTs is photography. NFT photography is just beginning to take off. Many photographers who have struggled to make a living in the past are finding great success in the NFT space<\/a>, and more photographers are beginning to take notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Award-winning photographers such as Julie Pacino, J.N. Silva, and David Drebin for example, are currently taking advantage of the unique opportunity NFTs offer photographers<\/a>. Famous web3 enthusiast and entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuck has even commented on the photography wave that is soon to hit in the NFT space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The music industry is long overdue for a complete makeover, meaning, how artists are able to make a living in the industry. Before NFTs and web3, musicians had to rely on record labels to sell their work, and in exchange, the labels take a huge cut of the profit. Now with NFTs, artists have the ability to sell their work directly to fans<\/a> and take a larger portion of the profit home, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As well, artists can earn a percentage of every secondary sale by implementing royalties. Even more so, musicians can provide extra value to fans by creating terms such as VIP access, meet-n-greets, monthly meetings, merchandise deals, and even fan royalties<\/a> all through the use of NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Music NFTs have already made a huge hit in the NFT space when Budweiser partnered with 22 emerging musicians to create their own Budweiser Royalty NFT collection<\/a>. The collection sold out almost instantly and was a way to prove your loyalty to up-and-coming musicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mainstream adoption and the desire for change are some of the main reasons why I believe music NFTs are going to be a huge trend in the near future<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Play-to-earn (P2E) gaming is yet another trend in the NFT space that will likely blow up and stick around for years to come. Axie Infinity is likely the most popular example of a P2E game that incorporates NFTs, but it\u2019s definitely not the only game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Art<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
