If you're an artist or musician looking to expand your reach and income potential, Web3 can be an exciting avenue to explore. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started:
1. Learn about Web3
WTF is it? Web3 is the next evolution of the internet, powered by blockchain technology. It offers a more decentralized, secure, and transparent way to connect and transact online. Understanding the basics of Web3 will help you navigate this new space more effectively and take advantage of its benefits. Be sure to check these out:
Mus3.io created an educational and discussion platform based on Web3 concepts and tools in application to the music industry.
What is Web3? by Ethereum.org is another beginner-friendly guide to stepping into the unknown.
30 Days of NFTs by ZenAcademy is another popular stepping-stone with a great community.
2. Set up a crypto wallet.
To participate in Web3 transactions, you'll need a crypto wallet. This is where you store and manage your digital assets, such as cryptocurrency and NFTs. Make sure to choose a reputable wallet provider and take steps to secure your wallet, such as enabling two-factor authentication. Some useful resources are:
How to Choose & Set Up a Crypto Wallet: a helpful, in-depth article to creating and securing a crypto wallet/s.
Crypto Wallets Explained (Video), because we all like videos.
3. Buy cryptocurrency.
To transact in Web3, you'll need cryptocurrency, such as Ethereum (ETH) or Bitcoin (BTC). You can buy cryptocurrency on a crypto exchange using fiat currency, such as USD or EUR. Choose an exchange with a good reputation, low fees, and strong security measures. Check out:
How to Buy Crypto for Beginners: a video guide to buying cryptocurrency.
Top Crypto Exchanges: a list of popular crypto exchanges.
4. Join a Web3 community
Web3 is a collaborative and community-driven space. Joining a Web3 community can help you connect with like-minded artists and musicians, learn from experts, and discover new opportunities. Look for communities that align with your interests and values, and engage with their members.
Twitter is at the forefront of web3 and the majority of people exploring this space hang out here. It’s very popular for connecting with Web3 founders, creators, and enthusiasts.

5. Create and sell NFTs
NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are unique digital assets representing anything from artwork to music to virtual real estate. As an artist or musician, you can create and sell NFTs to your fans, providing a new way for them to support your work and own a piece of it. You can use platforms like OpenSea, Rarible, or SuperRare to mint and sell your NFTs. Check out:
How to Make and Sell an NFT: a beginner-friendly guide to minting and selling NFTs.
Top NFT Marketplaces on DAPP Radar: a list of popular NFT marketplaces
6. Get an ENS Domain
An ENS (Ethereum Name Service) domain is a human-readable name that you can use to receive cryptocurrency and NFTs. It's like a domain name for Web3. Having an ENS domain can make it easier for your fans to send you digital assets, such as tips or payments for your artwork or music. I used stonewax.eth because it’s easier to remember than “OxBdfB…”. Consider this step optional but a step towards owning your digital identity. Here are some links to get you started:
How to Get an ENS Domain: a step-by-step guide to Registering an ENS Domain
ENS Domains: more information about ENS domains and their benefits
Web3 offers a world of possibilities for artists and musicians. By taking these steps, you can begin to explore this new frontier and unlock new opportunities for growth and creativity.
