Why are NFTs a Game-Changer for Artists

A message to traditional artists

Artists, if you consider NFTs to be a scam, perhaps you can help me understand why.

When I researched the technology behind non-fungible tokens (NFTs), I did not find that to be true. What I did find was a lot of confusion. Most people I spoke with did not fully understand blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, or smart contracts. And to be honest, I did not understand at first, either. These terms feel foreign, especially if your life’s work has been rooted in tangible materials like paint, paper, wood, or clay.

So yes—NFTs can feel overwhelming to traditional artists. But feeling overwhelmed does not mean the platform is a scam. It just means we need better explanations, simpler guidance, and a way to move forward with clarity and confidence. So, I used my teaching skills to create a course on NFTs for traditional artists. Why? Because I believe this platform is not just real—it is rich with opportunity. Let me share why I think the NFT space is not only valid but valuable for artists like you.

Global Reach Without Gallery Walls

Getting your work seen used to require gallery representation, exhibitions, and/or social media hustle. With NFTs, you can upload your artwork and reach collectors across the globe—instantly. It removes gatekeepers and expands your audience beyond your local art scene. Collectors of your work are not just buying digital files, they are buying your vision, your process, and your story.

Royalties That Honor Your Craft

In the traditional market, if your painting sells for $500, and ten years later it is resold for $5,000, you do not profit a penny of that resale. However, with NFTs, you can embed a royalty fee (up to 10%) directly into your digital (smart) contract. This action means every time your work changes hands, you get paid again, automatically. No chasing payments. No paperwork.

It is a new way to earn, and more importantly, a way to be fairly compensated over time for your vision, hard work, and story.

Your Originals Stay Safe—and Valuable

A common fear for a few artists is that NFTs might replace or cheapen their original work. They will not. In fact, NFTs can enhance your original work. Think of an NFT as a digital certificate (token) of authenticity tied to your real artwork. You can choose to include the physical piece in your sale or not. It is completely up to you. Some artists keep the original and simply sell digital rights. Other artists offer both. The bottom line is you stay in full control of your work.

No Tech Degree Required

You do not need to be a tech expert to get started. I created my course to guide traditional artists step by step. No jargon. No pressure. And you can work at your own pace. You will learn how to safely set up your wallet, mint your first piece, and understand how smart contracts work, plus more. If you can follow a recipe, you can learn NFTs.

There’s Room for You in the Digital Future

This platform is not replacing traditional art. It is expanding it. You still get to paint, draw, sculpt, carve, take photographs, whatever. You can continue to create with your hands and your heart. The NFT space just gives you a new way to share, sell, and scale your work—globally, and on your terms. You do not have to rush. You just need to be open this new way of sharing your creative work.
