Why Artists Should Consider ZeroOne (And Why I’ve Jumped on Board)

Just when you thought you had your digital art game sorted out, along comes this nifty little platform called ZeroOne, and it turns out there’s a new way to mint art, connect with collectors, and possibly even turn a profit. Yes, profit, as in, you know, actual money. But I’ve heard that before 🤣

H is for Howler Monkey

Before you roll your eyes and think, “Oh great, another platform to post my masterpieces on and watch them languish in obscurity,”. I’ve started minting on ZeroOne, and I think it’s worth a shot for any artist who’s aiming to not only survive but thrive in this new digital jungle.

Why ZeroOne? Isn’t One Platform Enough?

Look, I get it. You’re already on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter (sorry, X), and probably a dozen other platforms that constantly demand your time, attention, and content. Adding another platform can seem like just another opportunity for your art to disappear into the void. But ZeroOne isn’t just another social network; it’s a place for artists to mint, sell, and exhibit their work in a way that actually feels like it was designed with artists in mind.

Think of it this way: it’s like having an art gallery in your back pocket, minus the snooty gallery director and the anxiety of wondering if the free wine is cheap enough to refill your glass without feeling guilty. The platform is artist-centric, meaning it’s built to make sure you actually get something out of all that blood, sweat, and paint you pour into your work.

Minting Made Easy (Or, Easier Than You’d Expect)

If the term “minting” makes you think of an old-fashioned process involving coins and some mysterious contraption, you’re not alone. I once thought minting art meant painstakingly hammering a piece into a blockchain, and I was ready to abandon the whole idea the moment I heard “NFT.” But ZeroOne makes it shockingly easy, like “add to cart” easy.

I’ve even started minting my own art on ZeroOne, so if I can figure it out, then trust me, so can you. The platform takes care of the technical mumbo-jumbo, leaving you to focus on what really matters—like figuring out why that one shade of blue never quite looks right when it’s printed.

The Benefits of Joining Early (Before ZeroOne Becomes the Next Big Thing and We’re All Kicking Ourselves)

Look, every artist secretly dreams of being “ahead of the curve.” ZeroOne is still growing, which means you can actually stand out here. Yes, I’m talking about you—the same person who once buried a masterpiece under twenty layers of cat memes on Instagram. Early adoption has its perks, like being able to establish yourself on the platform before it gets saturated. Remember when everyone told you to get on TikTok three years ago? Well, this is your chance to actually be an early adopter for once.

Plus, ZeroOne offers some nice features like gas-free minting (a fancy way of saying you don’t have to pay extra to mint your work). That means no more excuses about “I’d mint my art, but I’m saving up for coffee.” Now you can mint your art and get that coffee, and potentially even earn enough from sales to upgrade to the good stuff.

ZeroOne is Actually About the Art (Not Just Flashy Sales and Hype)

On some platforms, the art feels like it’s a side dish to a main course of hype and speculation. But on ZeroOne, the art is the star of the show. The platform encourages thoughtful exhibitions, artist-driven experiences, and a genuine connection between the creator and the collector. It’s less “Let’s throw some pixels together and hope it sells for a million bucks” and more “Let’s share something meaningful.”

Think of ZeroOne as the place where your art can get the attention it deserves without you having to scream into the void every day. And as a bonus, you can actually meet other artists who are just as puzzled by the intricacies of digital marketing as you are. It’s a community of creatives who are in this for the long haul, trying to make art that matters—not just art that sells.

The Thriving Artist’s Checklist for ZeroOne Success:

  1. Get Started: Sign up for an account and explore the platform. Check out the art that’s already there, and try not to compare your work to the meticulously detailed digital masterpieces on display. (Comparing yourself to others is a sure way to make your self-confidence shrink faster than a wool sweater in hot water.)
  2. Mint Your First Piece: You’ve got nothing to lose and potentially everything to gain. Plus, minting on ZeroOne is so straightforward that you might find yourself wondering why you waited so long to try it.
  3. Connect with Other Artists: Follow them, comment on their work, share the love. It’s like digital karma—the more you give, the more you get back. And who knows, maybe you’ll even make a friend who will help you decode crypto jargon someday.
  4. Stay Consistent: Like any platform, showing up regularly is key. Post updates, share your process, or just pop in to say hello. Consistency is more important than ever if you want to be remembered for more than just that one viral post you had three years ago.

Embrace the New Frontier (While Secretly Still Clinging to Your Paintbrush)

ZeroOne isn’t about abandoning traditional art for the digital realm; it’s about expanding your toolbox and giving yourself more opportunities to thrive. The world of digital art can be daunting, but it’s also full of potential—and for those of us who have spent our lives surrounded by paint stains and cluttered studio desks, it’s a chance to take a step into the future without losing sight of what makes our art unique.

So yes, I’ve started minting on ZeroOne, and yes, I think you should consider it too. After all, isn’t thriving all about taking risks, making a little noise, and occasionally jumping on a bandwagon that actually seems to be going somewhere good for a change?
