Nifty Nomads: Road to Web3 & NFTs

Happy Friday to our listeners (Even if it's Monday)! Join hosts Ben and Miles as they back into the world of NFT marketing!

Marketing your project and rising above the noise is hard, especially in this challenging bear market. NFT marketing tactics are changing at the speed of light, and what worked a year ago isn't necessarily relevant or effective anymore when it comes to building a community and getting exposure for your project. Ben and Miles chat about how to leverage some current NFT marketing best practice in order to spread the word of your vision and ultimately your project.

They also dive into timeless tactics that will always remain effective - tune in to hear these and more on the latest episode of Nifty Nomads!

Ben and Miles are at it again in the world of NFTs - and take a look at the other side of a successful mint: NFT token gated access. When it comes to web3 communities, token gating is an awesome way to bring a ton of value to your holders, create excitement and hype around your community, and ultimately give your NFT real value and membership access. But to create an effective token gated ecosystem for your community, it’s important to be intentional about what you are gating - and what you are leaving open for those curious to learn more before buying your token. Join the fun and learn about the power of effective token gated in the latest episode!

And on that note, be sure to grab a Boarding Pass NFT to gain access to the live recording and Q&A sessions of the Nifty Nomads podcast, every Thursday.
