# Here we go!
Selling a NFT needs a lot of marketing, there are a sea of NFTs, so no need to expect people like buy by themselves when you just list your NFTs on chains. If you have a chance to get to know how people are trying hard to build the community on discord, raise public attention in twitter, instagram, etc, doing free NFT dropping to others, to increase the number of NFT owners…. After all of these been done, you may get a chance to sell a NFT.
This article mainly focus on how to create a NFT, and do bulk uploading.
We pick opensea.io as an example for the NFT market.
# Create your NFT
You can draw a picture with hours if you are an artiest, while there is another way to generate, like thousands of them in minutes.
The idea is to create components for the graph in layers, if you draw a person, then put eye, nose, body, hair, cloth…. in different layers, and draw each of them in different versions. So the combination of different layers would produce a large number of possibilities. Ex. 10 eyes * 10 clothes * 10 hair color * 10 whatever, there would be 10k pics generated.
Then generate graphs using theres layers. Checkout the code from repo: https://github.com/ypropelling/generate-nfts, do not forget to put a star on it!
Put the layers in the “layers” folder, and follow the README.md to run it. You will get a folder loaded with images generated by your layers.
# Opensea.io
If you already have an opensea account, you can skip this part.
You need to create a wallet in Metamask, download the app on you phone, and install the Chrome plugin.
After you created the Metamask wallet, you need to link the wallet address with opensea.
That’s it!
# Bulk upload your NFT to the market!
How to upload your 10k pics, and mint as NFTs? Automation!
Yeah, here is the code you may need: https://github.com/ypropelling/NFTs_Upload_To_OpenSea_With_Metadata
Do not forget to put a star on it!
The idea is, it will open a browser, and manipulate “mouse clicks” for you, automatically. So you do not need to click around by yourself. This should be one of the most optimal way to do, as opensea does not pride NFT create APIs publicly.
Follow the README.md to make it run, it works!
