118. Authors, Athletes and Speakers: Don’t be SHAQ ETH with your NFT Launch!

First off I want to set the record straight that I'm a massive fan of SHAQUILLE O’NEAL so much so I own 8 of his jerseys and collectables that I got during his rookie season at the Orlando Magic. 
On top of that I'm a proud holder of multiple Shaq Gives Back including the fact we included one of them in our #Mint365 Project on Dec 22nd.

So why am I worried for authors, athletes and public speakers being like Shaq with their NFT drop.   Well the thing is Shaq's drop end result was amazing raising 2 MILLION Dollars for the Shaq Foundation!
"100% of the proceeds of the Shaq Foundation working to instill hope and bring about change in communities, collectively shaping a brighter future for our children."
 But on this episode you'll hear why I was shocked to see Shaq with 50mil+ followers on social media not sell out his 10k NFT collection on day 1.   And it took a twitter space with Gary Vaynerchuk for the collection to sell out. 
To be clear the social good and charity use case Shaq and team used with this project is a PERFECT use case for the blockchain and NFTs and hearing Shaq stress that everything would be managed on the blockchain and be transparent warmed my heart.  *In the podcast I said the NFT drop was on Nifty Gateway but it was actually on Notables.co
But on this episode I breakdown:
Why I believe Shaq's collection didn't sell out and it had nothing to do with the project itself
Why I feel authors, athletes and speakers are going to fall into the same NFT launch trap that Shaq did.
Importance of NFT education long before the NFT drop
Building a strategy that understands the difference between loyal fans and those that are ready to purchase NFTs.
How Shaq is doing his launch on SOL differently in collaboration with Astrals
What WE at NFT 365 PODCAST want to offer authors, YouTubers and podcasters to help mitigate this education problem with most communities. 
Closing quote:
Simple can be harder than complex: you have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains. - Steve Jobs
