Whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, or just curious about Web3, this guide will walk you through every step: from making your NFT to getting it on marketplaces like OpenSea or Magic Eden.

Step 1: First, You Need to Create the NFT

Before you can sell, you need something to sell. That means creating the actual NFT art and metadata.

In 2025, there are two main ways to create NFTs:

✅ The Traditional Way

If you’re an artist or designer and already have artwork, you can upload your assets and generate a full collection using layers and traits (backgrounds, clothing, accessories, etc.).

You can use a tool like our NFT Creator to:

Upload your layers
Set rarity percentages
Preview combinations
Generate your metadata
Prepare for contract deployment

This method gives you full control over the final output and is great for PFP collections, art series, or collectibles.

🤖 The AI-Powered Way

No art? No problem.

With our AI NFT Generator, you can type a simple prompt like “cyberpunk astronaut cat” or “pixel-style wizard with glowing staff” — and our AI will generate unique images for you.

You can use these as standalone 1/1 NFTs or as base characters for an entire collection.

Both methods output ready-to-mint assets with metadata and preview images.

Step 2: Create a Smart Contract and Mint Page

Once your art is ready, it’s time to make it mintable.

To do this, you’ll need to create a smart contract — this is the blockchain program that defines your NFT collection: how many tokens can be minted, what they cost, who owns them, and more.

Don't worry — you don’t need to write any code. Our platform lets you create and deploy smart contracts with just a few clicks.

With our tool, you can:

Choose your blockchain (Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, etc.)
Upload your art and metadata
Set pricing, supply, and mint limits
Generate a hosted mint page where people can buy your NFTs directly

This mint page is where the selling actually begins — and where your first collectors will mint their NFTs straight from the source.

Step 3: Marketplaces Will Pick It Up Automatically

After your NFTs are minted, marketplaces like OpenSea, Magic Eden, LooksRare, and Zora will automatically detect your smart contract and display your collection.

Collectors can then:

View your NFTs on these platforms
Buy and resell them
See floor prices, volume, and owner data

If you want to actively list NFTs for resale (e.g., as the creator or a collector), you can connect your wallet to the marketplace and list them with your desired price.

No extra steps are needed to “upload” — blockchain-based NFTs are indexed automatically.

Final Thoughts

Selling an NFT in 2025 is simple — but it starts with creation.

Whether you build art from scratch or use AI to bring your vision to life, all you need is:

A collection of assets
A smart contract to manage them
A mint page for others to buy from

The rest — marketplace visibility, resale, and community — will follow.
