Prepare your listing on Solana NFT marketplaces

When it comes to the secondary market, you want to have a strategy. It may not make sense to list on multiple exchanges, find the one or two which suits you best. In case you go bluechip mode and need information on listing on all the exchanges, you may find it here! We will first list all the exchanges and what you need to prepare for a certain marketplace, and then give a wrap-up with a cheat sheet. But before that, we want to put your attention on an important step you should take – defining your story.

Your Story

Its important that the people get your project / your artist story within the first moments of looking at your art. It makes sense to take some time and develop an artist statement, and then strip it down to the 64, 250, 500 or 1000 characters you can use at the different exchanges.
