Does digital drawings sells in stock sites? Or they are better off being uploaded to other sites?

Hannafate

Depends on what they are, and what format you upload.

I sell lots of vector graphics as stock.

Sounds like something more suited for the NFT market on opensea.io but I'm not sure

Yes they do sell. I sell clipart on microstock sites. I also sell my digital art on POD sites like zazzle.

I think you'll find it's 0.02 to 0.25 ETH... which would make it $90 to $950.

Have you or anyone here ever sold a NFT? You have some nutty ideas.

Interesting question. Has anyone here actually sold anything on a NFT site? Does anyone buy these things? I see DraftKings is into selling them on their marketplace. I don't do sports collectibles. And I see all kinds of art, but is this just some fad or is there really any hope for someone like myself, trying to sell NFTs?

When someone buys the non-fungible token, they gain ownership of the content, but it can still make its way over the internet. In this way, an NFT can gain popularity — the more it's seen online, the more value it develops. When the asset is sold, the original creator gets a 10 percent cut, with the platform getting a small percentage and the current owner getting the rest of that revenue. Thus, there is potential for ongoing revenue from popular digital assets as they are bought and sold over time.

It's a crypto token?   It's a pyramid scheme? It's an investment and I'd get 10% every time it changes owners... I love this "Digital artists see their lives changing thanks to massive sales to a new crypto-audience. " Yeah and people make money from Microstock, just uploading those images they take with a cell phone, or that they have sitting on their computers. Right!

Someone here, tell me about your sales and how I get into this "life changing" art sales thing.

Your art isn't worth anything unless someone else believes it is.

The transaction fees with ETH put me off. I thought about using Hive, that has zero fees, but I just can't get enthusiastic about NFT's.

While plenty of people are making money from EFT's, I'd say the majority aren't. If you're famous, or have 100k plus followers on IG, then you might do pretty well.... but I really can't see the average guy on the street making all that much, if anything, from them. Aside from maybe a handful of rare exceptions.

Can it serve as an IP property registration in one place?

Yeah, crypto transaction fees are an issue that wasn't much of a problem years back. I don't know what they are now, but last I looked at Crypto Kitties, it was so much that the game was pretty well dead in my opinion. The connection is, they used ETH as well and it seems the NFT place uses ETH.

I don't do that much anymore but someone I know who does, says, wait... they are working on trying to make a way to reduce transaction fees for ETH. OK I'm waiting? If that happens it could make the NFTs more interesting.

I've read hints of that, I don't know how it would work or if we could benefit? I sure wouldn't mind.

One place you might try is Adobe Stock. I've heard that they do sell quite a bit of digital works. I've sold 3 there so far. And all 3 were actually the same pic, which is a vector image of a face or emoticon.
