I think Foundation is not like one month ago. Right now is super crowded, the hype is huge, and every day gets worst. I mean, is still cool to have your work on that platform but all of us, the artists...

we can't take for ground that our NFTs are going to be sold right at the moment we put them there, and I mean the common mortals, not the superstars with 50k-100k followers or another kind of famous people.

All the hype behind getting an invite increase that feeling that you will be rich right away you get a ticket to get in, and list your art. Well, is not like that, at all. Not for everybody. Not anymore (in my opinion).

Like many of you, I was pretty demotivated because my pieces weren't sold after one day of minting them, and then, another day passed on, and another one, a week... Damn it, why is everybody selling? for huge amounts of money! and nothing of that is happening to me?

Is not my work cool enough? I did something wrong? Maybe I posted the wrong day... the wrong hour? I should have done it during the weekend? I ask for too much money, that's the reason, I'm pretty sure... etc etc etc

I sold both of my pieces last Friday. Out of the blue, a well-known collector contacted me and got them both, I couldn't believe it. All the demons vanished and the hope went back to me. Not because of being on Foundation, but because I was spending 2-3 hours every day trying to

market myself on Twitter, getting the attention of those "shill me your work", "What should I buy today", "RT and Like, I'll buy your stuff", "I have 11207918734916413781624761 ETH to spend today, Follow, RT and Like", etc. I know, maybe I lost my time with a lot of these people,

some of them probably fake accounts. But What else could we (the artists) do right now to stand out if the platforms that we are part of, that are supposed to support us, don't move a finger? You artist, you have to keep sharing your work, be positive, I really know is difficult

but if you love what you do, you will finally transfer those emotions to the audience, and your lucky day will come to you, a lot of lucky days (and bad ones) because that's the life we choose, a roller coaster life! You just have to be perseverant and discipline.

My only intention with these words is to throw a bit of light to artists that right now can be discouraged and disappointed with themselves. This NFT thing just started, we're all new, we are all learning, trying new stuff every week. Just keep pushing yourself (in a healthy way)

Good things will happen to you sooner or later.
