Top Social Media Channels for NFT Promotions
Many NFT curators use social media places to advertise NFTs, to reel buyers in. Here are the top ones regarding promotional purposes for such digital assets:
Twitter is one of the most popular social channels for advertising NFTs. For many, it’s impossible to scroll through Twitter without seeing an ape or a punk.
The best way to promote NFTs on Twitter is by Tweeting about the project or hosting a Twitter Space talking about the project to give consumers a better understanding of what your project stands for.
Curators also take to Twitter places to advertise NFTs, to give away free NFT-related prizes in exchange for traction.
You can also pay for Twitter ads to gain more followers.
Discord
Almost all popular NFT projects have a Discord community, whether private or public.
Many NFT projects only accept invitations to their Discord channels depending on whether or not the person wanting to join the server has purchased an NFT—acting as an incentive to buy a digital asset.
The reasons are Discord gives away rewards on Discord channels to NFT purchases, like free NFTs, physical goods and more.
Discord also acts as a host for Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) to communicate over chat, voice, or video regarding NFT or Web3 projects. Here, they can discuss ways to contribute to bettering the project (depending on technical abilities and available time).
Discord also supports “Token Gating” for DAOs, which allows users access to channels on the discord server based on the NFT collection users own in their cryptocurrency wallet.
Telegram
Telegram is a favored messaging service, with more than 100 million daily users. It has a user rate of more than 25% over other message and social networking apps.
Although not as helpful in marketing, Telegram is excellent for direct messaging with a potential buyer.
Many NFT projects also have Telegram groups so fans can discuss their likes and dislikes about the project and bounce off new ideas to help the curator of the project in the future.
Instagram is another hub ideal for advertising NFTs. This social media channel is fantastic for promoting the art of an NFT collection due to offering the most compelling visual content to communicate and entice target audiences effectively.
To further help boost blockchain initiatives, Mark Zuckerberg began rolling out NFTs on Instagram back in Spring.
Instagram users can share their digital collectibles and tag collectors and curators of NFTs for free. Moreover, they can also connect their digital wallets to show off their NFT collections rather than just a JPEG.
