Artists:

Do you struggle with strategy around pricing, sizing, where to mint, etc?

Would be interesting to have a pricing and sizing guideline - but it depends on each artists, their audience, etc

yes, every single time 😅 

artblocks offers a pricing guideline to help artists with this. it is helpful, but there are many variables to consider. even though they tried to adjust it to different market conditions, it also led to unsold collections that were (and are) way too expensive for the market

You can set a suggested price, which is more of a range. It's not a min/floor price, as collectors could go below the suggested price (but not to 0).

We also considered adding a min/floor, but haven't had enough feedback to implement that just yet.

This is nice for "friendly collectors" but others won't appreciate some people paying less than them

Also, you always would have to set a minimum right?

Pricing is def difficult, esp in this market.

An idea we had was to offer "pay what you can" – where you can set a "suggested price" that is flexible to your collectors budget. 

That way collectors can go above or below (but not 0) and you don't have to feel pressured to price your art etc perfectly.

If it's a collection, I price based on concept. If the pieces are one-offs I'll price according to recent action or do an auction. 

Don't have any sizing limits. 

Where to mint is a matter of using the right tool for the job; I don't think in terms of platforms as I expect to do all the "marketing" myself via social.
