Been getting questions from Blueprint applicants so creating this FAQ thread to help.

FYI - we have an Twitter space AMA scheduled for this Friday 7/19 at 10 AM EST so bring more questions there. RSVP below.

Q: What types of creators are eligible?

A: The ideal candidates are full-time creators ranging from crypto-curious to chronically onchain with a consistent record of posting content. We preface full-time because we want to reward the most savvy creators who've been honing their craft and try to make a living doing it.

Q: What type of content is preferred at Blueprint?

A: Any digital content is welcome, including videos, art, photography, podcasts, memes, graphic design, live streams, writing, and fashion, as long as it can be minted.

Q: Do I need to have any crypto experience or have already minted NFTs?

A: Nope. We're looking for a broad range of creators. Those who are new to the space to those who are chronically onchain. It doesn't matter.

Q: Where does the $1M come from?

A: Our partners support Blueprint's mission, providing financial support to each cohort of onchain creators. More info on who and why below.

Q: How do I get to spend the $30k?

A: We have a unique program in place for spending the $30k that's focused on driving distribution and mints to your 2 NFT projects. You will learn the ins n outs of this method so that you can continue applying our strategy once you graduate.

Q: How does the application process work?

A: Creators apply via <blueprint.bello.lol> by filling out the application form. The selection process is highly competitive, and only the 10 most ambitious creators will be chosen for Cohort 1.

Q: What support do I receive during the 4-week accelerator?

A: You receive $30k to spend on driving growth to 2 NFT projects. You also benefit from expert guidance, fireside discussions, office hours, and hands-on support in optimizing their project launches.

***Q: What's in it for @bellosights?***

A: We share sales revenue in exchange for funding, mentorship, and tools to help you go viral onchain. We win only when you win.

Q: What's the 100ETH Club ⟠🏆⟠? Why primary sales?

A: Selling over 100 ETH in primary sales qualifies you to join the 100ETH Club ⟠🏆⟠. Without secondary royalties, we need a value system that celebrates achievements and uses primary sales as a key indicator of success.

Q: Does Blueprint take place in person or remotely?

A: Blueprint is primarily remote, allowing creators from around the world to participate. However, there are opportunities for in-person events, such as the closing ceremony in New York.

Q: What happens after the program?

A: Creators become part of the top-tier alumni network. This network provides ongoing support and opportunities for collaboration.

Q: How can I get more information?

Every mentor listed has influenced my creator journey and has shaped the way i think about onchain virality.

Throughout the 4-week program, these folks will lead 1on1s, fireside chats, and panels about going viral onchain.

I've handpicked these folks because they understand the core concepts we'll be teaching at Blueprint by Bello:

1. Building an onchain audience.

2. Reverse engineering onchain distribution.

3. Achieving onchain virality.

4. Aligning incentives with collectors.

5. Organic vs. paid mints.

No one is here by mistake. It's all intentional and thoughtfully curated.

We'll be recording these clips and open sourcing the ideas shared in these sessions with everyone.

Introducing Blueprint by Bello: a 4-week accelerator helping creators go viral onchain.

We raised $1M from partners Zora, Guild, Pods Bonsai, Drakula, and Layer3 to help 30 creators hit the 100ETH Club.

Apply to Cohort 1 now.

Here's a master thread of everything you need to know.

Why start Blueprint by Bello?

I was inspired after selling 130+ ETH of podcast NFTs in the last 2 months on Pods.

I documented the entire process and want to teach it to 30 ambitious creators. I'm proof that NFTs are not dead, they're just entering their next era.

How does it work?

Thanks to our partners, the $1M is split into 3 cohorts across 6 months.

Apps are live for Cohort 1 where 10 lucky creators will get $30k each and launch 2 NFT projects over 4 weeks.

Plus, you'll learn from 30+ mentors to help launch your campaigns.

Mentors

We've gathered crypto's top consumer founders, IP growth experts, and creators who've already hit the 100ETH Club.

These folks will lead 1on1s, fireside chats, and panels so by graduation, you'll have the knowledge to achieve 100 ETH in primary sales.

What is the 100ETH Club?

A global community of creators who've generated 100+ ETH in primary sales.

Anyone who achieves this can join the 100EC.

Hitting this milestone epitomizes being a true onchain creator, and we'll celebrate you with a tailored Infinite Objects plaque.
