Bitcoin Forum

Hi guys!

I created the project a bit like CryptoKitties, only CruptoArtworks, without the ability to reproduce. This is my first experience and I did everything alone.

After I finished, I realized that I do not know how to entice people. And I have a question? Am I doing the right thing that I made this project, or is it not necessary for anyone?

To fully understand what the site is about, here is the link https://cryptoartworks.io

I will be glad to hear any your opinion.

You are in the first step so don't expect that by just publishing it you'll attract a lot of people to use and play to your website. Do some advertisement if you really want people to visit your website and make some encouraging words why we should try it out and play with it. What are we going to get if we stay there? Your target players are the people who are into arts or someone that just want to have fun and in short what you lack is marketing.

Thank you for your replay, i am really appreciate.
I posted information in various forums, reddit, news.ycombinator. I wrote email to bitcoin magazine. And nothing happen.

The website looks Ok to me, very simple and clean. I personally like the simple and clean stuff but I have seen people want to see options, lots of options. May be categorise the artworks, decorate the each category pages with eye catching website design. What I am talking about is the presentation where the viewer will feel the stock is large number. You feel good when you go to Sainsburry's to buy a crisp than to buy it from a local small shop. Reason is the luxury presentation and feeling of finding everything in one place.

Find a marketing angle and be strategic on your marketing.

Find out a way to incentivize the visitors, give them free offer, buy one get one free, buy to get one free, mix and match, give them something that will grow their interest to re-visit your website. You see variations? You need to be marketing guy to market your stuff. Think about Facebook. Anyone can clone or create a social media but how many become as good as Facebook? None. Marketing is the key for everything to see it's success.
 

very beautiful site, immediately it becomes clear that you have spent a lot of time and effort to make your product. I advise you not to give up. the main thing now is to contact the right people and run the Domino effect to your project began to speak loudly in all chat rooms.

A very unique idea to come up with OP. I salute you. Your efforts will not go in vain. But why is it only on ETH? Some people like to play with various coins. I only found ETH. And imagine if these pictures were yours, people would have bought them all. Anyway, not bad for a first attempt. People will find it great because it is simple not complicated. I hope you achieve what you aspire, and sell it to the right people, mate!

Thank you for your advice. My main problem is traffic. I will try first solve this problem

I use ETH because the site interacts with the smartcontract on eth node.

Traffic is not something you "fix" though. Traffic is something you earn.

Hey, I made something similar with Truffle (adoptyourfriends.com (http://adoptyourfriends.com)) for trading social media friends minus the breeding/generational component as well. It currently only works with Facebook (and only the friends I've assigned tokens to).
Your game seems cool, but I don't know if there's a huge market for crypto art collectors. It might be worth listing to opensea.io (http://opensea.io) to gauge your market depth & increase exposure. You can also see how the other crypto games are faring. My project is currently attempting to raise capital in order to scale it & market it properly, so I'm in a similar boat. Good luck, hope it does well  :)

And to earn something you usually need to spend some first, which means you need proper advertising. When you have a usable product at the very least, then you should think about attracting people's attention. Not now. What you need is now to focus on your project. Advertising is the easiest part. Thousands of people will shill for your product for pennies.

If you want people to find your product without spending anything on ads, then you must either have something very very rare, or very lucky.

Tried to send u a message but your profile doesn't allow messages from "newbies"  :-\ You may want to re-check your "FAQs" page on your site for typos in tabs 3 & 5 in the "Getting started" section. Otherwise, it looks good and I'd highly recommend opensea.io (http://opensea.io), its a secondary market for ERC721 tokens, it seems ideal for you.

I allowed receive message from newbie. Ok thanks, i will recheck. My english not so good if you see something please say to me and i will fix it. Thank you for opensea.io  i will check now.

You need to gain alot of traffic to your site through search our direct advertising. Get in contact with Any SEO or PPC traffic expert. Once you drive traffic, you can build a good user base. After this think of monetizing them with your game.

Get the arts community on your side to sell real art and you have a running business i guess.

You;re starting so let's not expect a lot from your project instead, expect for the worse. Time will always come that you will be known and you will be successful. Please continue doing and put a lot of effort in it it will be worth it soon.

Good idea sir, maybe if he collab with artist that are rising as well then it would be nice and could be profitable to both parties. He can also ask for help/assistance for his future project and his arts.

I can say that for me, it is not very interesting! Gamification, however, still attracts major part of people.
maybe you are on the right way but hurry up as tendencies change every minute) ;)

Promoting a project requires time and, of course, resources. It's great you did the site and the concept - but now you should do much marketing to make it known to people - like ads, PR and etc

This an interesting project, but I have one question. In your FAQs you say:


What if someone adds a tiny dot of a different color in the corner of a picture? The picture will look absolutely the same but cryptographically it will be another thing entirely and thus it will not be regarded as replication.

How can you guarantee to your customers that something like this will not happen?

Weird that no-one has even mentioned this, the little bit of text that's on your website is really not written in a professional fashion.
It's clearly written by someone who does not have English as his/her native language.

Just some examples:

On the bottom of the home page:

Should be: Start collecting crypto artworks now! - or something similar, I'm not a professional writer myself :P

and


Just reads a bit weird, especially the "(but will you? This is your own Van Gogh!)" bit.

Smartcontract saves only the name of pictures and authors name. And there is a test for uniqueness inside smartcontract so i cannot put same artworks. I dont put image inside smartcontract.

Yes indeed i am not native english speaker. i will fix it, thank you for your comment.

Hi

Agreed with whats mentioned above. Try to re word the text and also

Maybe try to come up with a slogan :

Invest in the past and future..  , Monetary history, Invest the past, secure your future.. Something along these lines would be nice. Easy on the mind .
Anyway like your concept...

Also just a thought, include a set of icons on the first page below your text. Midway between the bottom and text.
An icon for
Buying - Selling - Trading

Below each icon a title and perhpas below the title a description of 1 or 2 sentences for example:

Buying - Icon
Buying  - Title
Buy art using crypto currency... - Description


Understand it's early days and your working on it so looking forward to seeing this site a year from now, best wishes

If you need help with icons, designs, etc feel free to let me know i have most of these on hand if it help..

That's what I'm asking about. Can you elaborate on how that test for uniqueness works? Or, are you saying that it checks only the name of a picture and author's name? That would be ridiculous imo. The thing is that if you create an original and unique crypto artwork you can protect it cryptographically from frauds, but you can't do that if the original work isn't yours for the reasons I've mentioned above.

Hi, Good Day, if you really want a serious and professional answer from a professional great advisor and at the same time great manager, you can simply ask manager yahoo62278, maybe in the future if you want some marketing advice or advertisement project you want to create in the future you can also talk about that business. However, Manager yahoo62278 is a great advisor. you can get real and accurate opinions about your serious project.

My English is not very good.
All the artworks in the game made by famous artists such as Da Vinci and Picasso. Only i have the ability to upload artworks. The smartcontract checks, the author's name and the title of the picture character by character, if they already exist, then the program does not create a duplicate. Image is taken from opensource and dont put to the smartcontract

Nice. Glad to see you're supporting your community.

i will do my best

The website seems too simple for me.
About traffice, I think you first do something for free too atract users need your service. You can ask for back link, sharing, likes, etc. to get your project known to people

Thanks for your explanation. Now I see what was meant. The cryptoartworks, paintings by famous artists such as Da Vinci and Van Gogh, will be unique only inside your network, and only there you can guarantee that there will be no duplicates. It is not like CryptoKitties then and your statement in the OP:


is a bit misleading because not only your CryptoArtworks lack the ability to reproduce, they also lack the ability to be unique all over the Internet. You see, in CryptoKitties each cat is one-of-a-kind and it cannot be replicated anywhere, while your CryptoArtworks cannot be replicated only inside your network.

I will change description on website to prevent misundestanding

That would be great, because if you want your business to be successful in the future you have to be open and honest with your potential customers. I sincerely wish you good luck with this project or another one. Just keep trying creating something new and original and be honest with yourself and with others while discussing your new project. All the best!

Thanks bro

You have done really a good job in here as a new comer.so don't give up and try to promote this and you will be success.

Very interesting idea, but I didn't like your site design. You had to take responsibility for the development of the site, the presentation of your team

Maybe it's better to attract more traffic now? And after that already improve the site?

I agree with you that i should improve site quality

Interesting idea. I would develop the landing page, add more visuals to it. As mentioned above, improve the language.
To promote your project you should know your target audience to choose the right platform and way of promoting.

Could you say in what place problem with language& And i improve it

You can use the link I sent you in your messages as a template on how a viable 'crypto art' concept should look.  Your competitor seems to be lacking a descending clock auction and some other features. It might be worth adding them, some widgets and a unique-responsive landing might help. GL

I find it hard to follow if there is no cooperation with some friends to work. because it requires expert programmer. as well as requiring some cost to pay for the needs. and inviting people to participate in participation is not easy to bring people to join. You have to think before some people feel disappointed.

First off, congrats because I like the simplicity and the design of your website so it looks like you made the first step. However, I'm not familiar with this niche though, maybe this is untap so once your project is exposed you don't need to promote it. But as of now, it will take a lot of efforts so you must go and search forums with similar niche and try to promote it their and see how it goes. Goodluck to you!!!.

Hi, do you have bounties available to be introduced in another community and use other tech (apps) to advertize your project?
Let me know if any @eaglesll

Very interesting Idea, i think!
I give u five!  :) :) :) But the site is fully...waste. Please renew the site!  :)

/excuse for any inconvenience  ::)

Thank you. Unfortunately, I saw competitors only after I had finished my work on my own

Nope i dont have. I Could give you artwork for free. Do you have any advice how should advertize?

Thanks, i want to give you art, and if somebody want please ask me

You have to be careful because of the thwucs that you have

Let's advertise it, or it's harder to find a way to reach the user the easiest

Another game on ethereum blockchain? :-\
