How To Buy & Sell NFTs On The Largest Marketplace Without Paying Fees

1. Course Introduction: Hey, there, thanks so much for checking out my online course about buying and selling in FTEs here on Udemy. In this course I'm going to be showing you exactly how to do this using open seat, which is one of the largest NFT marketplaces online. I've got the website pulled up right here. So when you first load the website, you have two options, explore and create. We're mostly going to be focusing on the creation process. So it's pretty straightforward to create your own NFT on Open. See I already have my own collections here. So if I go to my profile and then collections, you can see a couple of the collections that I have. Let's go to Thailand shots. I'm a entrepreneur, photographer and digital nomad currently based in beautiful Thailand. So I've been taking amazing photographs around the country during this pandemic. And I've just put all of my pictures up here on open sea to sell as NFT is. So once the collection loads, sorry, The Wi-Fi's a little bit slow. You will see all of my photographs right here. And it's really easy to get started. It costs you nothing. You can easily start for free using the polygon network, which is a similar to a theorem. But with a theorem, you have to pay gas fees. Whereas with polygon, It's completely free to upload it in FTA. So let's see. I don't know why this is taking so long to load, sorry, bear with me. But as you can see, I have quite a few different collections here. These are some crypto skulls I've created. I've got this one and then it's virtual islands I'm selling as well as just some clip art images I was playing around with, which actually got a few sales of already. But yes, so I'll show you what this collection looks like. Okay. Well, anyway, so I don't know why it's not loading, but I've got my collection here and we're going to show you how to easily create one. All you have to do is go to open C. And I also have to confirm on my wallet. So you'll have to download a separate app. I'm just using the Coinbase wallet, which is an app that you install on your phone. I've got it pulled up right here. And then you're going to have to authenticate on the app to get it to sync up to the web. So that's what I'm about to do. You just have to enter your PIN number. And you will be using this wallet to collect payment when you sell or buy an NFT. So once you've verified with your crypto digital wallet, essentially, then you will be able to easily create an item, which we can do here. But that's what I'll be talking about in the course. So hopefully you're excited to learn more. If you're just getting started selling in FTEs or you're already an intermediate and advanced learner, then this is a great course for anyone that wants to get in on the action, right? Because in if T is right now are very hot. There's, you can also look at the top collections over the seven day, past seven days on the website. Crypto pumps are crazy like they're selling for seven millions and upwards dollars. And essentially they're just 8-bit programmatically generated avatars that people are buying for millions of dollars. So now is the time to get in and open C is the best way to do it. In the next part of the course, I'm going to show you this quick introductory video from open sea. And then we'll get into creating, buying and selling. And FT is hope you're excited to learn more. I'm excited to teach you everything I've learned over the past few months. And I'll see you inside the course. Take care. 2. Create Your Account on OpenSea: Welcome to the course, hopefully excited to learn more about how to get started buying and selling in FTEs on open sea. So the very first step before we can actually create our very first NFT is to go here, click on your wallet at in the upper right-hand corner. And we have a couple of different options here. So we can connect one of our available wallet providers or create a new one that I recommend, either MetaMask or Coinbase wallet. And if you click on show more options. As you can see, there are many other options available, but these are the most popular too. So click on Meta mask. When I click on Meta mask, this comes up because I already have the Chrome extension installed. But essentially, this will allow you to connect the website to a digital wallet. This is essentially a digital wallet that you can use to except a few area. So I'm going to enter my password here. Hopefully I remember correctly. And it will log into Meta mask or you have to do to your account. And sorry the buttons and tie because let's see if I can translate this. It just says, Okay, so click on the blue button and then you can connect the MetaMask wallet to your OpenCL account. So click on Connect. And any second now it will log in. So I bear with me. So it should be connected to the MetaMask wallet. Now, as you can see, I've got a balance of $0 in my account. And you can also just directly deposit these funds into your bank account by connecting your bank. So that's something I'll be showing you later how to do this. We'll actually go into another theorem address if you have an app installed. So essentially, that's only have to do to get started. And now you have your own profile here. So if you click on Profile, this is just an empty profile I've created for the purposes of this course. And I don't have any items in my collections. So this is a great way to show you how to create your very first NFT. So in order to create an FTE, click on the Create button right here. And it will bring up MetaMask again. You have to authenticate once more. And here you are. So that's what we're going to be talking about in the next part of the course. See you in the next course. 3. Create Your NFT on OpenSea: In this course, I want to make everything as simple and intuitive as possible for you guys so that not to overwhelm you with a bunch of information you don't need to know to get started buying and selling enough t. So the very first step is to create a new item. It could either be an image, video, audio, or 3D model as we see here. And there's multiple file types supported. So in this particular case, I'm just going to upload one of my beautiful Thailand photographs. Which one should I choose? Let's say this one of COPI islands. It's one of my favorite photos from Thailand. And then here we can change, we can choose a name, so same code, PP islands in Kyla, and you can also add an external link. So I will include a link to my website which is Thailand shots.com. Thailand shots.com. This part's optional as you can see, there's no red asterisk after it. So that's optional. Description also optional. You can also use a markdown language if you want to write in this case, I'm just going to name it the same as the name. And we can also add it to a collection which I'll be showing you how to set up a collection in the next video lesson. For now, let's just leave this blank, but we do want to add it to a collection because that's how we set up which crypto payment processing where we're going to use either a theorem or polygon. I think there's a few other options as well. And here we can also add properties, textual traits that show up as rectangles. So if you have a collectible item like a character, maybe for example, a crypto punk. They have many different characteristics like one of them may have a special hat. One of them is smoking a cigar. Another one might have dollar signs for eyes. I don't know, whatever it may be. A you can add those properties right here. So in my particular case, it's just a photograph. So I could say, you know, location. I can say where it is in Thailand. Hace buen or what's well, co pp Pp islands. And I don't know what else type, reach, something like that. Then you click Save and it has those, those textual properties. Now, you can also add levels, numerical traits to show as a progress bar. In this particular case, that would not apply to what I'm offering. But unlikable content is important here. So if you really want to get people to buy, you'd have to offer something that is, it goes beyond the NFT. So in this particular case, I would probably offer, I'd tell them they could get access to the original high resolution digital photograph. So this May 1 not be high resolution, so I will also send them the, the high resolution digital photograph that they can turn into, maybe a canvas print or something to hang on their wall and make a physical, or just make it a beautiful wallpaper on their, on their laptop, for example. So, yeah, that's an, a lockable content that you will get access to when you buy this unique one of a kind NFT. So the next part is important. This is the supply. With a theorem. You only, you're only able to list one of one. I'm not exactly sure why, but that's, those are the rules. But now here's where the interesting part comes in. You can also list on polygon, which is a fast gas free block chain experience that works with a theorem. If you don't want to pay any gas, be using a theorem. You can list it on the polygon network, and you can also change the supply. So let's say I want to list 10 of these without paying any fees, it's free to get started selling your first NFT. So I'm going to list 10 of these on the polygon network. And just click Create. Here's where you're going to have to authenticate with your phone, which I'll show you how to do in another part of the course. So it just created that NFT. And in the next lesson you are going to learn how to actually sell the NF-kB. But this is an important part of the first step. As you can see, I've created the COPI islands in Thailand, NFT. There it is. And anyone can access it from this URL. So that's, that's the next we're going to be showing you how to actually put it up for sale on Open. Say, Thanks for watching. 4. List Your NFT on OpenSea: Okay, so we've created our very first NFT on open sea, which is excellence. That's great. We can see here that we have a lockable content that they get access to when they buy this NFT. We're also going to be adding it to a collection in a few minutes here. But for now, we just want to list this, this unique NFT. There's ten copies available. We want to list it available for sale on open sea. So in order to do that, we click on the red cell button right here. And here's where we can choose our price. So we're going to be selling it on the polygon network, which is similar to a theorem. It's on the same network. And we can type in the quantity I have 10 available for sale. So we can either sell all of them for the same price or one different prices. But in this case, I'm just going to sell all ten of them. 4.01.05 or theory. For the purposes of this demo, let's just make it one a theorem which is roughly $4 thousand. So let's sell. That means if I sell all ten of them, I get roughly $40 thousand, right? So I don't think they're going to be, I don't think that they will sell for one at theorem. But in this case, let's just shoot for the stars and, and make it one, right? So let's complete listing. Click on this blue button. And here's an important step, right? We have to submit a transaction with a wallet to trade with this currency. So I have to open my wallet. In this case, I'm using MetaMask. So you will use the exact same wallet that you use to create your account. Just click on unlock and it brings up Meta mask right here. Now we'll have to authenticate with our digital wallet is communicates between the website and MetaMask. We've got some information here that you don't really need to understand. Click on the blue button, and it will take a few seconds to authenticate. And that's it. So we unlocked the currency. Now we have to sign a message using the wallet. So it's just one additional step here. Okay? So here's where we sign the message. Click on, Okay, and that's it. Your NFT is listed officially on open state. So if we close this, it will take us to the listing. There it is. This beautiful photograph of Thailand's going to cope epi islands is available for sale for one, a theorem, and there are ten copies available. Congratulations, you listed your first NFT on Open. See, that's pretty much all there is to it. So a lot of people make this whole process. They make it sound like it's really complicated. And you have to understand a lot of technologies and how to program and all of these different things about the block chain. But it's really straightforward with open sea, as you can see. I've just created this NFT that people can now buy and trade. And you can see the transaction history right here as well. So if somebody buys your NFT, it will show up right here. The theorem, we'll go straight into your MetaMask wallet, which you can then transferred to either coinbase or whatever exchange you use. Right here, you just have to enter your theory of address and turn it into fiat currency or just keep it in your digital wallet. As a theorem continues to go up. That's pretty much all there is to it. Congratulations. Next we're going to be showing you how to create your own collection and add this to a collection. In this case, I'm going to be calling it Thailand shots. And yeah, so that's the next part of the course. See you there. 5. Create Your Art Collection on OpenSea: Welcome back. In this part of the course, I'm going to show you how to create your own collection on open safe. So in order to do that, go to your profile picture up here and click on my collections. You'll be presented with this screen. Then you click on create a collection. You may have to verify with your wallet first if you haven't been back to open sea for a while. So here's where we can create the collection. We have to upload a logo image right here. So just click on that and you can upload one of the, one of the NFT is from your collection as a logo. So we're gonna do that now, just going to choose this one. Can also upload a featured image which will show on the homepage category pages or other promotional areas of open sea that's optional, can also add a banner image which will show at the top similar to like a cover photo on Facebook. And you can add, give it a name which is required. And hence case I'm going to choose Thailand shouts one because Thailand shots is already taken, since it's the name of one of my other collections. Here's what we choose, the URL, Thailand shots one. And with me my computer's a little bit slow right now. Here's where we can add the description. You can add a category. In this case it is artwork. Here's where you add all your links. Discord, Twitter, Instagram medium. That's also optional. So I'm going to leave that out for now. And here's a really important part. This is the royalties. So every time you sell an NFT, every time somebody buys one of your LFTs and resells it to somebody else, you will collect a 10 percent royalty fee recurring every time this happens, every time somebody trained, it's one of your original pieces of art. You'll get a royalty, which is awesome. That's just passive income. So I think the max is 10 per cent. If I try to make it 20. That's yeah, it's the max is ten, so just make it 10 percent for now. And here's where you have to choose your wallet address. So you'll either get this from an exchange like Coinbase or in my particular case, I'm using a wallets called Exodus. So I'm going to open my exit is digital wallet, which is just a piece of software that you install on your computer. And openness and then get my Miriam address. Either a theorem or polygon. They're on the same network, so it doesn't really matter which one you use. This case, I think I'm just going to use my theory and why. So as you can see, this opens up. You can also use Coinbase as well. If you have a Coinbase account and I'm looking for where is it? Let's search out. There is somebody up. So maybe it's taking a while to load. Hang on one minute here. Trying to do this. Okay? Okay. So click on receive if you're using Exodus and you just copy that address, we paste the address in here. And in this case we're going to switch, you're going to use polygon, right? Because that's the fast and free way to list your FFTs can also add other tokens if you want to. In this case, we'll skip that. And you can choose the layout for your artwork. I'm just going to use the default one here. And then just click Create. So now you've created your very first collection. And next I'm going to show you just how to add your artwork to the collection that you've created, which is really easy. So thanks so much for watching this lesson and I'll see you in the next one. 6. Add To Your Collection on OpenSea: Okay, so now I'm just going to show you how to add this particular NFT to your, in this case Thailand shots collection. So right now it's just under untitled collection. If we click on this, it's going to take us to the collection which only has one item in it. But we want to add it to the Thailand shots collections, which is very straightforward. All you have to do is click on the Edit button here, scroll down. And then where it says collection, just add it to the Thailand shots collection. An important known as moving items to a different collection may take up to 30 minutes, but that's fine. And if you want to add any more information, you can cure, you can do so now or just click Submit changes. So now we'll go to our Thailand shots one collection and refresh. Let's see if it's already in there. It's not in there yet, but as we said, it takes about 30 minutes to add to the collection. We can also add a cover photo. I'll show you how to add a banner image to this collection as well. Just edit your collection. And here you can change the banner image. So we can add this as a better image. It's a nice photo of Bangkok. And you can also fill all of your information if you have links to different websites, social media accounts. So you could do that here. Let's say I want to add my Instagram handle, maybe my Twitter as well. And my website's, oops. I don't know why this is. Sometimes if I'm typing my website and it's involved weird. Okay. I don't know. So we'll leave that out for now. And then, of course, this is the most important part of your collection is your payout wallet address. You want to make sure that this is correct because when you do sell an NFT, when that day does come, it will go straight to this wallet address. And if it's if it's not right, it's just going to go either to somebody else's wallet or get lost. So make sure that your payment wallet address is correct. And you can also add other tokens as well if you want to. But let's just keep it on the polygon network for now. Just click Submit Changes. And now we can go back to our collection and see that the banner image should be updated. So you might say, you want to make sure that your profile is pretty to look at because somebody that's coming here, they need to be beautiful, right? And there it is. There's the NFT that's been added to the collection. So you can click on that. And now if you want to share your open sea with somebody, you can just use this short URL right here. And that's it. So now you have your own collection. You have your very first NFT upload and open sea. It's available for sale. So people that are looking and searching for these keywords will find it. And next I'm going to be showing you how to transfer your NFT to somebody if you want to host a giveaway. For whatever reason, if you're, if you're promoting it on Twitter or something and you're hosting a giveaway. I'll show you how to do a transfer to somebody else in the next lesson. 7. Transfer Your Artwork to Another Account on OpenSea: Okay, so I've got my Twitter profile pulled up right now. And you may be wondering, why, what does this have to do with open C? Why am I, why am I showing you Twitter? And that is because Twitter is one of the most popular platforms to promote your NFT is online. And I'm going to be going into more detail about this in a later part of the course. But I just want to show you something that I've been doing and that is I'm hosting a free giveaway. So as you can see here, I've made this tweet. We're getting a theorem addresses from people and I'm asking them to follow me tag three or more people like and retweet this post. I've gotten quite a few retweets, follows and comments. And if I click on it, I can see that a lot of people are posting there a theorem addresses in here. So let's say here's, here's an Ethereum address, here's another one. And they're tagging people as well so that they see the post. That's what I asked you to just increase exposure around my artwork. So these people essentially they want me to send them my artwork for free as part of this giveaway. And I can do that if I really want to. I would prefer not to give away my artwork for free for obvious reasons because it's taken me a long time to do this and I would love to just sell them. But if you do want to transfer to somebody, all you have to do is copy this theorem address. And I'm just gonna do it right now. I'm just going to transfer one of these NFT is that I've put up for sale for one of them. I'm just going to transfer it to somebody here. So I don't know, I'll just pick, pick somebody at random. There's a lot of, lot of comments here. This guy, his profile picture looks kinda cool. So I guess I'll send it to him. So I've copied his theory M address. Now I click on the transferred by gift icon right here. And I say, I want the transfer. If this is theory, I'm address one of my, oops, sorry, one of my FFTs for, for one a theorem. Now I click transfer, it will bring up MetaMask right here. So transferring an NFT valued at $4 thousand to this random person on Twitter. Here goes. It's going to process for a few seconds. And that's it. So I just transferred this NFT of COPI islands to some random person named Dorian on Twitter. Hopefully he appreciates it. We'll see. So now I can, I can look at the transaction history down here, and it shows the transfer right here from me to this user. If I click on his name, hair, should pull up his profile. So as you can see, he's already has a couple other NF LFTs that he's bought. I think I picked a good user to transfer it to because this guy seems like sort of a collector of FTEs. So that's good news. And essentially, this will give more exposure to your artwork because people are going to be possibly looking at this profile. And there, it's going to show your NFT somewhere in the mix. And if I click on activity right here, I can see the transaction took place on the blockchain transfer from me to him one minute ago. And that's it. So that's how you give away one of your pieces of art for free. And now, as you can see here it says 20 owners, ten total. If I click on the owner's, I can see that one of them is this guy, and that's it. So this is a really powerful, you know, pretty good technique that I've found to promote your LFTs on Twitter, which is one of the, you know, everybody's posting about them on here. So I'll show you how to do that in a later part of the course. But essentially, this is the best way that I've found. I can post my photos and then give it away for free in exchange for more exposure. So thanks for watching. See you in the next lesson. 8. Browsing NFT Artwork on OpenSea: Of course, as you probably already know, open C is not the only NFT marketplace online. There are many others available out there, so we've got one called wearable. Another one called super rare, is another one called foundation. And each one of these has its own unique selling points. But for the purposes of this course, we're only going to be focusing on Open see, I just wanted to show you some of the other art platforms that are out there. So if we go to referable, we can create an account using basically the same technique, same strategy as open. See, here we have a couple of different options. It's just a different layout. We can upload an image very similar to open C set a fixed price timed auction are open for bids and a bit, yeah, very, very similar to, so I recommend checking out wearable and is best, It's good to have a presence on all of these different platforms. There's another one called nafta, which is kind of like Instagram for NFT, I actually have an account over there, but I haven't really made any sales on after I mostly focused on open sea. But yeah, it's good to have, like I say, good to have a presence on all of these different platforms. On after you have to connect your wallet cell. If I using this very basically the same process, but I've been having some problems with nafta recently where I can't even connect to my wallet. For whatever reason. I looks like Jake Paul, the YouTube celebrity has some things on here. I don't know. I don't really like this is actually one of mine, I think. No, no. That's an intense Vietnam. But anyway, I've already uploaded. So my artwork and after, and foundation is another very popular one. The only snag with Foundation is that it's kind of difficult to get approved to sell on this platform because you have to get a certain number of votes on Twitter or something along those lines. So I don't, I haven't figured out how to sell on foundation yet. That's why I'm focusing on Open SEO me because I have a lot of experience in with that platform. But let me just show you what it looks like real quick. I have to confirm with my Coinbase wallet right here, it pops up a message and then I can sign, I can sign the message from my phone. Because this one is linked to my Coinbase wallet and I'm not using MetaMask. So I just signed the message and it should law again in a few seconds here, just verifying that I'm the owner of the theorem address. And that's it. So if I click on Create here, say it does, is, it says I need a community upvote, rally my audience for support. Because I'm in a waiting list now and I have to verify on Twitter a complete my profile. Not exactly sure how to get started with foundation, but it is fun to browse through some of the artwork that's available on Foundation. Some of the top artists and digital artists in the world have their artwork listed here. Here's one that's being featured on the websites for sale for about $1000 and the auction ends and 13 hours. There's some really cool artwork on here. So this one's pretty neat. And you could use research on all these different projects to, a lot of them have websites and you can read about, read about each of these to make sure whether it's a worthwhile investment or not. Oh, this one's really cool. It's called a world of women. Let's go back. So essentially she's creating thousands and thousands. Some of these, some of these projects have over 10000 images, 10 thousand collections. This one's pretty neat. So you can see here there's a collection of 10 thousand. The floor price, which is that's the lowest price, is 5 eighth, which is roughly $20 thousand at the moment, and it shows the number of owners as well. So you can scroll through these and click on them and just look at the artwork or buy wine if you have enough. A theorem, I personally don't. But yeah, lots of cool artwork on these platforms. Of course, the other one is super rare, which you can check out as well. But I'll leave that for you to do on your own time. See you in the next lesson. 9. How To Browse Projects on OpenSea: In this part of the course, I'm going to show you how to browse top NFT projects on open sea. So if you go to stats and rankings, then you can sort based on volume, 24-hour plight, price fluctuation, seven days floor price, owners and assets. So obviously number one is crypto punks. Everybody who's in an empty space has heard about the crypto pumps project. That's number one. It has a trade volume of a 134 thousand a theorem, which is insane. I don't even know what that is in US dollars. Number 2, we've got the board eight Yacht Club. This is another really popular project, so you can just click on this and take a look at it if you're interested in possibly buying one of these in FTEs, there's about 10 thousand of them available, and over half of them are now owned by people. And the floor places 35, a theorem which is at the present moment about a $100 thousand, I believe. And so you can browse through some of his artwork here. And if you're sorry, getting a phone call. Okay. Turn that off. So here we're browsing through some of the artwork on NFT. See I've lost my train of thought on the board API yacht club. So if you do have a ton of a theory m and you want to buy one of these, then that would be a great option. The value continues to go up. So it looks like over the past seven days gone up four-point, 37 percent. We've got quite a few other ones on here as well, that the mutant API club, creature, toads, cool cats, LFTs, These are pretty neat. Looks like it's been going down in value lately. But you can also pick up one of these LFTs if you're interested, browse the collection here. There's about 10000 and available 52000 traded. So they're very popular and it looks like the lowest price one is only 0.003. A theorem which is very affordable. Let's see if that's actually accurate. Click on this one. I may have to authenticate with my wallet entirely. Sure, let's see here. So this will load up and oh, looks like the minimum betas now 15 a theorem which is $65 thousand and the reserve price has not been met yet. So I mean, honestly, what's to prevent me from right-clicking and saving this image right? Technically, I don't own it. But if nobody, if nobody investigates further than what's to say, who's to say that I don't own this NFT, right? So this is one of the, one of the criticisms of NFT is, is I can easily just save this or take a screenshot of it or whatever. But, so anyway, the current price is $5 thousand. I can place a bid. You can also place a bid for it. If I wanted to place a bid for 0.003, if I could do that right now. And I don't think I don't actually offer must be at least the minimum price per unit of 15. So yeah, that's not going to work. But I cover that in a previous part of the course. If you want to place bids on NFT is you can look at that as well. And yeah, this is just a really good way to see at a quick glance which NF T's are increasing in value and which are decreasing. So this one I guess is relatively new. It's up 89 thousand per cent, which is crazy. So they've got this rare Bunny club for prices only about, that's about $300 roughly. Last I checked. And you can easily browse through all of the items here. That 55000 results. So yeah, that's a really good way to just check and see which in FTEs are hot right now if you want to buy something. And you can also see quickly what the floor prices as well. If you're looking for something cheap, then this might be a good option. This one definitely not because the floor price is a 135. It's about 520 percent. What is this? Phi densa by Hailar Tyler halves. Okay, So all of them are over a 100 and theory and it looks like, which is pretty crazy. But if you wanted to buy one of these, you could do that. And yeah, that's pretty much all there is to check in the rankings on Open see, Have fun with it. Browse, browse the collection is a little bit and see if you can buy something's going to go up in value x watching, I'll see you in the next episode. 10. Placing Your Bid on an NFT: Welcome back. In this part of the course, I'm going to show you how to make an offer on NFT. So I've got the Explore tab pulled up right now and I'm searching for most viewed in FTEs of his. So we got some crypto punks at the top. And I'm looking for one that is less than what I have in my wallet. So I don't have very much. It's only about 0.02 0s. And most of these are out of my price range. But this one right here, it looks pretty cool. It has 36 thousand likes as roughly 61 thousand views. And I can just make an offer for it. So if I go to my wallet right here, I only have 0.0175, a theorem which is roughly $70. That's polygon, which is Bayes theorem. So I can make an offer for 0.0178. I just click on make an offer. And based on data we have, we provide a confidence score I'm collection and users to prevent fraud. I'm not exactly sure what that is, but here's the sales and it was created by this guy and I can just click, I have reviewed information and then I can say, Okay, I wanted to offer a bid off, make an offer of $68. Well, let's just max it out. 0.0175. A theorem. Here's I can either have to convert E first. So let's see, easily convert between faith and w e. Okay, So I don't know if this is going to work because I probably don't have enough a theorem to handle the conversion. But let's see here, 0.07 be 175. I guess I have to connect a wallet first. Yeah, this isn't going to work because I don't have enough of theory and to do the conversion unfortunately. But if it did work, then I could just say offer and then he could either reject or approved offer. So let's see if there's another one that I can make an offer on. I'd like to find something relatively What's this a diamond hand. This is something that they say all the time in the crypto community. I've got Diamond hands, which means that you never sell your you just hold everything right? So here I can also make an offer. I don't really, I don't actually have enough theory and in my wallet to make an offer. But if I did that, I could do that here. And 0.0175. And then I can't make the offer because I need to oh, yeah. It looks like again. So I can make an offer for this NFT and maybe he'll accept it. Just click on make an offer. And in this case I have to confirm on my phone using the Coinbase wallet app. So I sign the request and it should make the offer. I have them say I have to sign one more time to officially make the offer. And that's it. So the offer was submitted successfully. Let's hope that he approves it because if I can get it for only $70 instead of $525, then it's a very popular NFT as 56 thousand views. And I might be able to resell it to somebody. It's pretty cool. I kinda like it. Let's make it full screen. So that's a rotating diamond hand. It's very popular and maybe I can resell it at a profit. Wish me luck. So essentially, that's how you make an offer. Thanks for watching. Good luck. 11. How To Purchase Your First NFT on OpenSea Pt. 1: In this part of the course, I'm going to show you how to buy an NFT. I have also made another video upset about this, but I had some technical issues. So here I'm going to show you how it works. And I've got one pulled up right now of an animated GIF of people who, if you don't know who people is, he recently sold one of his pieces of art for 69 million dollars. It's that the highest grossing if T, sale and history. So we've got this one right here. It's worth going for $0 right now. So I figured it would be a good example just to show you how to buy an NFT in my wallet, I have about five US dollars because I've already bought quite a few NFT is on here recently on the polygon network. So if I just click on this, if I click on the Buy Now button, it will display. Okay, it will display this where it says compete Complete Checkout. All I have to do is click the blue button is saying I'm going to buy it for $0. So it's just a free and f t and it probably doesn't have, obviously it doesn't have any value. But just for the purposes of this course, I'm going to show you how to minus, it's very easy. All I have to do is verify the transaction on my phone. As you can see here, a screen popped up asking me to confirm payment. So and it turns out I don't have enough a theorem to pay for the gas fee to buy this free NFT. So that's not going to work. Sorry. So I have to, I would like to go back, cancel that transaction and maybe find one on the polygon network so that I don't have to pay a gas v. I think I can select over here which network I wanted to list it on. Let me move my face for a minute. On sale in. Here's where I can select the network or I could just look over here and find one that's on the polygon network. And obviously a lot of these in FTEs are not worth anything. Let's see if I can. I think this one, maybe this one, I combine this, try this. It's kinda ridiculous. I have to pay a gas v to buy something for free. Kick a firm checkout here. And I don't think this is going to work either, unfortunately. Now, I also had to pay a gas v. This is one of the annoying things about buying and FFT's is this gas fee that you have to buy every time. They have to pay every time. But only if you're buying it on the theory and network polygon is gas free. So I like to find one. I don't think this one is polygon. Should be a way to sort. Okay, Here's polygon. So if I just select polygon here, there's nothing available for this price range. So let's remove the maximum amount. See what options we have available. Keep in mind, I only have $5 in a theorem. So just for the purposes of this video, Let's go ahead and buy this. It's only $2.39. And yeah, I just wanted to show you how it works So I can confirm checkout here and sign the message. Then I have to confirm it on my phone. So let's close out the Coinbase wallet for a minute, reopen it. And as you can see here, should pop up a notification in a minute here to sign the message. So I sign this message and enter my passcode. And that's it. So it's processing the order. Just bought this NFT. It's going to take a few seconds and is finished. So that's it. I just bought an NFT. And you can see it on the block chain here normally. And I can see that I am the new owner of this NFT. If I scroll down to the transaction history here, it was transferred from this guy to me. So it's on the blockchain. You can see it in the transaction history on open sea. So I'm now the owner of this rare mental and FT. And that's how you buy an NFT on open C. Thanks for watching. 12. How To Purchase Your First NFT on OpenSea Pt. 2: In this part of the course, I'm going to show you how to buy an NFT. So I've got another one pulled up here of a rotating diamond hand. It has about 53 thousand views and to owners, it's for sale for point 1, 1, which is roughly 445 US dollars. And if there's got a few offers, offers on it here, as you can see, there's about seven or so offers here. And I can either make another offer on this or just buy it. Now in this case, I'm going to click the Buy Now button and click this, and click this and then confirm checkout. So these are the steps. He I don't have enough funds in my account to complete the purchase, so I have to deposit funds, which I'm just going to show you how to do. You can either do that using a card or deposit from another exchange like Coinbase or any of the other ones out there. And then the step after that is a deposit Ethan a polygon. So you're going to have to convert from eight the polygon way for the deposit, sign a message. So it's kind of a complicated process. But, you know, if I did have enough a theorem in my Coinbase wallet, then I could buy this right now. And as you can see, the royalties, he gets 2.5% every time somebody we cells this NFT, which is very cool. But let's see if I can find something more in my price range and actually just buy an NFT right now. Let's see, let's see, let's say I can actually set the price right here. So let's say point, I want to keep it below 0.02.02. Eith. Let's see what we have in that price range. Okay? This is a crypto kitty. It's, these are quite popular. I think it's, Oh gosh. So it's selling for $40 million. That can't be right. That can't be right. There's gotta be something around there. I could just make an offer for it. But I already showed you how to make an offer, an NFT. So I want to show you how to actually buy one. If I could find one that I can afford. See here. This one is quite cheap. I don't really like it though. 0.0173, it's a Pokemon and FT never really got into pokey mind and see what this one is, is selling for. Point. Can afford this one. Okay, That's kind of cool. So I'm just going to buy this now for $20. And I should be able to afford that, but it still says not enough eat to complete purchase. A strange I have more than that. Maybe it's because I'm on polygon and not a theorem. I'm not sure exactly. So it is little bit complicated, I guess, to buy an NFT. But let's see if I can figure this out. This one's kinda cool. 0-zero 74, eith, see if I can buy this one. It's only $29. And it's an video. See a play the video. Oh, that's kinda cool. I guess. Just see if I can buy this. And I still don't have enough theorem. If anyone who's watching this understands why I can't buy these N of t. Please let me know. So I guess, I guess it's because I have to use polygon, not a theorem, but I'm not entirely sure. So I think this one is I'm a polygon network. Let's take a look. I should be able to buy this one. Okay, it's called paradigm shift. It's pretty cool. I can click this box and still I can't buy it. Weird. So I have to add more funds either from my card or deposit from Exchange, which I'm not going to do right now. But yeah, that's essentially how you buy an NFT on Open. See, hopefully it was helpful for you. Thanks for watching. 13. Course Conclusion: Thank you so much for signing up and giving me an hour of your time to show you how to buy and sell in FTEs on Open. See, this is one of the largest, the largest marketplace for NFT is. There's going to be more coming out over the next few months. Coinbase is listing one. They also have one on crypto.com. And more and more exchanges are hopping on the NFT bandwagon. So now is the time to get in. And as you can see as I've shown you in this course, it's very easy to get started. You can even get started for free, create a free account. Lists your NFT is on the polygon network, so you don't have to pay any gas fees and you're off to the races. So, you know, I've been buying and selling and FTEs for about six months now. I have my own collection under Thailand shots here on open sea. So you're more than welcome to browse through my art collection. I really appreciate it. If you were to buy something that would be great. And yeah, just let me know if you have any questions. I'd be happy to help my e-mails and my profile. You feel free to shoot me an email. And again, please leave me a positive review because it helps people find this course on Udemy. With that being said, have a great day, afternoon or evening wherever you're watching from. And thanks so much. Take care. Best of luck. 14. Other NFT Marketplace Platforms: Of course, as you probably already know, open C is not the only NFT marketplace online. There are many others available out there, so we've got one called wearable. Another one called super rare, is another one called foundation. And each one of these has its own unique selling points. But for the purposes of this course, we're only going to be focusing on Open see, I just wanted to show you some of the other art platforms that are out there. So if we go to referable, we can create an account using basically the same technique, same strategy as open. See, here we have a couple of different options. It's just a different layout. We can upload an image very similar to open C set a fixed price timed auction are open for bids and a bit, yeah, very, very similar to, so I recommend checking out wearable and is best, It's good to have a presence on all of these different platforms. There's another one called nafta, which is kind of like Instagram for NFT, I actually have an account over there, but I haven't really made any sales on after I mostly focused on open sea. But yeah, it's good to have, like I say, good to have a presence on all of these different platforms. On after you have to connect your wallet cell. If I using this very basically the same process, but I've been having some problems with nafta recently where I can't even connect to my wallet. For whatever reason. I looks like Jake Paul, the YouTube celebrity has some things on here. I don't know. I don't really like this is actually one of mine, I think. No, no. That's an intense Vietnam. But anyway, I've already uploaded. So my artwork and after, and foundation is another very popular one. The only snag with Foundation is that it's kind of difficult to get approved to sell on this platform because you have to get a certain number of votes on Twitter or something along those lines. So I don't, I haven't figured out how to sell on foundation yet. That's why I'm focusing on Open SEO me because I have a lot of experience in with that platform. But let me just show you what it looks like real quick. I have to confirm with my Coinbase wallet right here, it pops up a message and then I can sign, I can sign the message from my phone. Because this one is linked to my Coinbase wallet and I'm not using MetaMask. So I just signed the message and it should law again in a few seconds here, just verifying that I'm the owner of the theorem address. And that's it. So if I click on Create here, say it does, is, it says I need a community upvote, rally my audience for support. Because I'm in a waiting list now and I have to verify on Twitter a complete my profile. Not exactly sure how to get started with foundation, but it is fun to browse through some of the artwork that's available on Foundation. Some of the top artists and digital artists in the world have their artwork listed here. Here's one that's being featured on the websites for sale for about $1000 and the auction ends and 13 hours. There's some really cool artwork on here. So this one's pretty neat. And you could use research on all these different projects to, a lot of them have websites and you can read about, read about each of these to make sure whether it's a worthwhile investment or not. Oh, this one's really cool. It's called a world of women. Let's go back. So essentially she's creating thousands and thousands. Some of these, some of these projects have over 10000 images, 10 thousand collections. This one's pretty neat. So you can see here there's a collection of 10 thousand. The floor price, which is that's the lowest price, is 5 eighth, which is roughly $20 thousand at the moment, and it shows the number of owners as well. So you can scroll through these and click on them and just look at the artwork or buy wine if you have enough. A theorem, I personally don't. But yeah, lots of cool artwork on these platforms. Of course, the other one is super rare, which you can check out as well. But I'll leave that for you to do on your own time. See you in the next lesson.
