Here you will find everything you need to know to get started in NFTs or elevate your NFT strategy to the next level. It goes without saying that none of what is written here is intended to be financial advice, ever. 

OpenSea is one of the standard NFT marketplaces, this is where you can list your NFT, place bids and buy other NFTs. It integrates with your MetaMask wallet so when you purchase (mint) an NFT from a project’s website, it will display via your OpenSea account. 

Before you can set up an OpenSea account, you will need to have a MetaMask wallet already (click here to read the guide on how to do this). 

To get set up, follow these 4 simple steps. 

1. Make sure you’re signed in to you MetaMask wallet and the extension is installed in your browser. 

2. Hit the Profile icon on the top right, on the dropdown select Profile. Your MetaMask wallet should automatically show up and you can click on “Sign In”

3. Your wallet will appear already checked, if you have multiple wallets, make sure the right one is selected and hit “next”.

4. On the next page, hit connect and you’re all set. 

To customise your profile, hit the Profile icon and tap on my profile, then on the right hand side you’ll click on the Settings icon.

When you tap on this, you’ll be redirected to your MetaMask to sign off on any changes you’re going to be making, once you click “Sign” it will redirect back to your settings. 

From here you can update your username, your bio and put in your email. 

You’ll want to put an email in that you check regularly as this is where the notifications will be sent when you win a bid or one of your NFTs has sold. 

Once you hit save, you’ll receive an email to confirm the changes. 

To change your profile picture and banner image, on your profile page, tap on the pencil icons for each, upload your AussieMate PFP and you’re all set.  

Happy NFT purchasing!
