Welcome Back to MAD Academy: Exploring NFT Drop Options
Hey everyone, welcome back to the MAD Academy! Today, we’re diving deeper into how to list and launch your NFT drops effectively. By the end of this guide, you’ll have a solid understanding of the options available to make the most of your drops.
Three Types of NFT Listings
When uploading your NFTs, you can choose from three primary listing types. Let’s break them down:
1. Buy Now Option
List your NFT at a set price for collectors to purchase immediately.
Ideal for drops with larger quantities, offering a fast and straightforward buying experience.
A well-marketed drop can lead to quick sellouts.
2. Auction Option
Set a starting price and time frame (e.g., a day, a week, or a month).
Perfect for 1/1 NFTs, allowing multiple collectors to compete fairly.
Creates equal opportunities for your community, compared to the “first come, first serve” nature of Buy Now listings.
3. Open Offer Option
Upload work without committing to a sale.
Collectors can make offers, and you can decide whether to accept or wait for higher bids.
Great for:
Private sales (verify buyer info before accepting).
Showcasing work you’re not ready to sell yet but want your community to see.
Ways to Launch Your NFT Drop
Now that you know the listing types, let’s talk about structuring your NFT drops for maximum engagement.
1. Fixed Amount at Set Price
Release a specific number of NFTs at a predetermined price (e.g., 10 NFTs at $20 each).
Works well as an open drop, staying active until all NFTs sell.
2. Timed Drop
Set start and end dates for your NFT sale (e.g., 10 NFTs available for one day or one week).
Benefits:
Creates FOMO, encouraging faster sellouts.
Unsold NFTs at the end of the time frame result in increased rarity for buyers (e.g., 1/5 instead of 1/10).
3. Open Edition Timed Drop
Allow unlimited NFTs to be minted during a specific time frame (e.g., 24 hours).
Perfect for:
Community access perks like special memberships or early access.
Building excitement and accessibility while fostering FOMO.
