- **Artists, Biz Dev, and web3**
I listened to a great @buttrfly.lens Spaces discussion this morning on the challenges of being an artist from: @linea_platform.lens @0xtommythomas.lens @jessyjeanne.lens @cmn__.lens @mchx_.lens @datartist.lens
One theme I heard loud and clear throughout was the burden being felt by artists who felt they now have to learn how to operate a business in addition to mastering their artistry and technical skills. While I would always suggest that learning business is better than not, I thought I'd perhaps shed just a little light on why this feels the way it does right now and what we can possibly look forward to.
Art is not created in a vaccuum. It isn't made from nothing (w/rare exceptions). Canvas portraits required the invention of the blank canvas. Photographers required the invention of cameras and film. Music videos required the right combination of tools and broadcast circumstances like MTV. Artists use existing tools to create art. Similarly, web2/Instagram/TikTok/DeviantArt/etc give users tools to create.
web3 is a essentially a blank database. There's nothing here, yet. This space requires artists to come with their already-made creations, to this new place where the primary app is a marketplace and almost zero distribution tools exist. Almost everyone here is creating art using non-web3 tools and then publishing onchain. It follows, then, that the primary skills to being successful in a marketplace is one's ability to market and sell.
There are plenty of artists using Instagram and TikTok who don't know how to market themselves or their work but they know how to create with those tools. It's not hard to create a TikTok video of a beautiful painting with trending music. The app then allows the artist's fans to do most of the work for them. Fans can distribute, collaborate, interact, and spread the word all on an artist's behalf. This is missing in web3, but it's coming!
One of the core benefits to publishing onchain is that anyone can make your data valuable. This means you can leverage the entire user base to help you build. It feels difficult right now because it is! We say it all the time, but it's true: we're early. There are so few apps right now to help, but over time this will resolve itself.
So what's a burdened artist to do? I would encourage anyone who feels overwhelmed at (or turned off by) the thought of learning how to market themselves to do one of two things:
//1: Reach out and be vocal about what you need. Talk to devs, or post your thoughts openly:
"I need an app that lets me create like this..."
"I need an app that lets my fans do this...."
"Hey I see you're building an app/video game/event ticket/music album/gallery/etc, is it possible my work (and others like it) would fit in?"
Find trends like ChatGPT/Dating/Design/Messaging apps and ask devs to help incorporate them into apps which are based on your data's needs: A stable diffusion app which lets fans play with your art and a dating/friend-finding app which utilizes swiping left/right on art are both totally possible.
//2: Sit tight and watch for these apps to emerge. Be open to new tools which use your art, and be open to new tools which create new forms of art. These apps are emerging now ( @lenspostxyz.lens ) and will almost certainly continue to explode in growth. As more apps are able to use your art the easier things will become.
This may feel like one of the hardest times to sell your art onchain, but the truth is it's easier now than it was in 2018 and will likely continue to get easier and easier as more is built. Until then, keep creating and don't get discouraged by "the business"!

Today I have made an important decision in my life 📢
I quit my job today and going to focus full-time on maintaining the first-ever open-source frontend @lenster.lens 🌸 powered by @lensprotocol 🌿.
Building social media was my dream since 10th grade, I built more than 4 social media in public but all failed, Lenster is my 5th one and it’s going crazy ⚡️.
I believe building in public is key 🔑 to the success of a product.
We have a lot of items queued up in the roadmap, be excited about it 🕺
**Collect this post for 2 WMATIC and support Lenster’s development 🙏**

- We made progress yesterday by adding a new feature to Bello 🍄 that allows you to upload NFT contracts in bulk.
This improvement strengthens our Custom Searches feature, which previously only supported building mass searches through a drop-down menu or uploading wallet addresses.
With the latest update, you can now upload NFT contract addresses in bulk.
Simply toggle between "Wallets" or "Contracts" to select the upload type, and ✨voila✨ you're good to go!
💡 It's all in the toggle baby.

Thread:
• How to get a Lens Profile
• Complete the new Lens quests and get a reward ⚡️

✅ $LENS info
On Feb 1, @stani.lens, Lens' Founder, published a tweet with Ξ16460695 ETH block.
That block was mined in Jan 22. Could it be a snapshot?
🔗 https://etherscan.io/block/16460695

✅ $LENS info
Stani spoke about governance in a Podcast in May 2022
TLDR: It's a progressive approach. Lens in-protocol fee collection is 0 atm, but if switched "on", they could go to a community owned treasury
I tweeted about this in Jun 2022 👇

3/11
✅ $LENS info
There is no official info yet, this is all speculation, however it's natural for a protocol to eventually pursue decentralization via token governance.
So let's stay tuned and see how this evolves, we are early

✅ How to get a Lens handle?
Many people doesn't know that Lens profiles are NFTs and can be purchased in Polygon Opensea: https://opensea.io/collection/lens-protocol-profiles
Floor price has been slowly inceasing, right now it costs 86 USDC to get one that's already minted.
5/11
If you buy a Lens handle in Opensea, you can start using it immediately. However you can't pick up the @ handle, since it was already minted by someone.
Also, floor price will probably dump hard when Lens Profiles are unlimitedly open to the public. No ETA on that.
6/11
✅ How to get a Lens handle?
The other way to get a handle is mint it yourself, but right now minting is closed, and they open it for some users from time to time.
Latest way to get whitelisted is to have +700 DegenScore and mint via Phaver App 👇

✅ Lens Quests in Phi
Lens launched a series of Quests in @philand.lens on Feb 7.
They last until Feb 22, so there's still 10 days to participate and claim free NFT rewards plus generate Lens real activity in the protocol.
8/11
✅ Lens Quests in Phi
How to participate?
1. Go to 🔗 https://quest.philand.xyz/campaign/lens-yasai
2. Own a Lens Handle
3. Set your default Lens handle in Lenster if you own more than one
4. On the campaign page, click the "Apply" button
5. Start completing the quests! 👇
9/11
✅ Lens Quests in Phi
Here is a Step by Step tutorial en how to complete all six quests: 🔗 https://phi-xyz.notion.site/Yasai-Walkthrough-Guide-6f99640b0b894f6fbb7f9fc42997a999
It's quite straightforward
10/11
✅ Claiming rewards
Phi says that claiming rewards will start on Feb 22nd.
There is no info yet as to what those rewards are.
However, when you complete each quest, you earn one free NFT that can be traded via OpenSea. There's one for every quest, so there are 6 NFTs.
11/11
Not many people know that you don't need a Lens profile to follow someone on Lens.
Give it a try:
1. Go to 🔗 https://lensfrens.xyz/olimpio.lens
2. Connect any wallet, with or without a Lens profile
3. Click follow
4. Sign the #1 txn
5. Submit the #2 txn to the blockchain
