# Boost Your Visibility in the Stargaze Community By [mrgrubworm.eth](https://paragraph.com/@mrgrubworm) · 2022-04-07 --- Ideas for building a following ------------------------------ ### Discord Community Engagement Boost Ideas Think about all the **_chats you can contribute to_** that will boost visibility and create value within the community, not only **#💭hodler-chat**. It’s helpful to engage in **#general #project-promotion #🎨creators**, and others as well. **_Make your own ads_** to showcase your creativity and talent. And share them! We want to get to know your brand. That being said, **don't over share or spam** the channels. Make sure you’re getting them out there **semi-frequently**. We have **people** on Discord from all over the world **in** **different time zones** who want to see your shares. In general, _most people won't go through the effort to scroll up and read old messages_. If you are up for _community vote_, you could make a creative ad video to **share in #general** with a short **caption** that says something like, _"the vote is still out on this week's curated mint collections and i want to share \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ with everyone"_. Even if the grammar and spelling, etc. isn't perfect people will appreciate that you're trying to reach them. We love knowing the **creators**. Sharing little easy pieces of yourself in the chats helps us to do that. **Remember people don't read much**, so you only need to **write one or two sentences**. Write them _in your own words_ and be selective with them. **_The call to action is important_** - something to think about ✨ People love games and competitions/giveaways. Consider offering NFTs to _loyal community members_ or start **whitelists** for your **OG** followers and fans. You can keep the focus on your art and **_help_**ing **_people in the community_** through assisting and answering questions. Memes go a long way in the NFT community. _Bring comedy to anything that you can_. **Promote yourself now** - don't wait ✨ **_Never DM anyone that you don't already have a relationship with_**. DMs are kind of a no-no. If you're not gaining the following as quickly as you'd like you can get more involved in Stargaze community. **Learn the docs, answer questions, help people in Discord**, pretty much become a familiar part of the community. `Star.ty is a great example of this. They learned the tools, spent tons of time helping people in the server, and ultimately sold out their collection in minutes. Several weeks after selling out, they still pop in to engage and assist people. This helps to lay a great foundation for future sold-out collections.` **Give the people what they want… lots of laughs!** Making memes that support your brand and Stargaze is an easy way to engage and entertain. ### Collection Specs and Details You probably need to have **meta data** _for your collection_. If your project isn’t generative, you can **pick around 7 traits that are inherit in each piece**, and assign them values. _Mix in some rare ones_. Does it make sense to _add_ _titles your collection pieces_? Especially if it’s a smaller set, naming can add value. **_"Gamifying"_** a collection of traditional art pieces seems to work well. **Make each piece unique, rank-able, and a part of a bigger thing** to help marketing and encourage collection. `An example of this is what 25-nights did. Their collection of photographs were broken down into shards, so you could collect them all to get the complete image. This creates engagement and further investment from your collectors.` Is your collection a **_digital rendition of physical art_**? If so, consider the options you have for the physical components. Here are a few: 1. The two pieces live independently of each other. 2. One goes with the other. Minted as a set. No control after selling. 3. The physical pieces are considered process work, sketches or drafts, and don’t get sold. 4. Destroy the physical piece so only the digital remains. Destruction of the piece can be part of the art. See an example here: [https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-56335948](https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-56335948) 5. The physical piece is not the final form. For example, you can take a still image and animate it. ### Other Social Media Platforms **Twitter** _is a big part of NFTs_. A strong following is a good thing to have, if you are planning to launch a collection. You can use the **Stargaze Discord** to promote yourself by posting tweets you wrote containing images of your works and/or funny memes. This is a visual space, so make sure to use images in everything you can. _Less words, more visuals is the way to go_. **_Consistency_** in posting on all platforms is key. Other platforms such as **TikTok and Instagram play a role** too. If you can add to them, it will help build your presence, and works as an easy way to display your _portfolio_. --- *Originally published on [mrgrubworm.eth](https://paragraph.com/@mrgrubworm/boost-your-visibility-in-the-stargaze-community)*
