Some ideas on how to add upfront value to your community when introducing a new NFT Drop 📜

My team at @HunnysNFT wanted to do something fun for Valentine's Day. We knew it would be a short term project.

It's a Delayed Reveal drop, where we're asking people to mint this week, and revealing the metadata on Feb. 14.

But how do we offer new value to our community along the way, without just asking for their money & capitalizing on a holiday?

We found two ways that worked for us, given that this project went from ideation to execution within about 5 days:

1. Teach a free, live class on how to do exactly what we just launched
We teach free classes about once a month on a variety of #Web3/tech topics. So before we announced what our NFT Drop was going to be, we were already putting up time & energy to putting this live class together. It's free to attend, they get recorded and stored at our website (hunnys.io/),,) and it's open for 100% of people, whether you're a Hunnys holder or not.

It was then pretty fun to get to the end of the class and say "Wanna see a real life example? Here's something from Hunnys you can grab right now for cheap, and you have until Feb. 13 to grab it - you'll get to see how it works!"

It was a neat way to add value to our audience up front, gain trust & credibility in our skillset, and hey, it feels a whole lot better than just asking for donations or tips at the end.

2. Introduce new concepts to them that they maybe haven't seen before
I finally had the chance to be able to use OnCyber for this drop. Being able to embed a website into a digital gallery, surrounded by images/videos/gifs/etc. is awesome. It explains who we are and makes the experience fun in ways that a website can't always do on its own.

By (attempting to) lead by example with our own presentation of ideas, we are able to inspire people in our community on what types of things are possible, or start new collaborations with them.

Is it way more work to prepare these types of things alongside of the mint? DEFINITELY.
But is it worth it? DEFINITELY. You'll feel better about it in the long run, and your community will trust & value you more.

What other ideas do you think about with your own projects? Or from a collector/consumer standpoint, what examples do you have of added value from a brand/project you like?

Fun chatGPT prompts & tips to try.

Tool: chat.openai.com/chat

Access: Free

Purpose: The purpose of this post is two-fold.

A: Sharing some fun prompts & tips to make chatGPT a more fulfilling experience.

B: Receiving your ideas as comments to make this a nice thread to share and refer back to for multiple people.

This is a VERY limited list for now, because if I tried to share everything that I've found fascinating so far, this post would never end. But hopefully some of these Prompts & Tips are concepts you haven't seen yet, or help you out as you are working with the tool.

Let's get started.

Prompts for...

Musicians

1. Ask it to write a song, and ask for it to include specific instruments.

"Write a new Billie Eilish song in C Minor. Include a guitar track for it with guitar tabs."

2. Ask it for an exercise to practice on in order to get better at your instrument.

"I'm a drummer. I am hoping to get better at coordination and limb independence in my playing. Can you provide me with a practice exercise that will help me exceed at that? Perhaps some type of polyrhythm that I can practice exclusively on the drums?"

Games

1. 'Choose your own adventure' game. (Short)

"Let's play a "Choose your own adventure" type of game. The game should continue until I explicitly say the following words: "End the game." The theme should mimic what it's like to be on the set of the TV show Seinfeld, making references to the main cast & objectives of the show. After each response of yours, I should be offered a number of choices to pick from. Based on the choice I make, the story of the game progresses, using branching logic."

2. 'Custom, procedurally-generated RPG' game. (Long)

"I want you to act like you are simulating a Multi-User Dungeon (MUD). Subsequent commands should be interpreted as being sent to the MUD. The MUD should allow me to navigate the world, interact with the world, observe the world, and interact with both NPCs and (simulated) player characters. I should be able to pick up objects, use objects, carry an inventory, and also say arbitrary things to any other players. You should simulate the occasional player character coming through, as though this was a person connected online. There should be a goal and a purpose to the MUD. The storyline of the MUD should be affected by my actions but can also progress on its own in between commands. I can also type “.” if I just want the simulated MUD to progress further without without any actions. The MUD should offer a list of commands that can be viewed via ‘help’. Before we begin, please just acknowledge you understand the request and then I will send one more message describing the environment for the MUD (the context, plot, character I am playing, etc.) After that, please respond by simulating the spawn-in event in the MUD for the player."

Language/Lore

1. Create a brand new secret language.

"Create a fictional language with a unique syntax and structure. Name the language. Explain the main grammatical rules behind it. Provide a few standard sentences that somebody speaking that language might use in their daily life. Then, show me how it translates to English."

2. Building out the lore for the characters in your NFT collection.

"I have built an NFT collection featuring a series of characters from an unknown origin. The characters vaguely resemble human beings, but they are not of planet Earth. Let's imagine the backstory of a meaningful character from that collection (perhaps somebody in a position of substantial power). Briefly describe their origin story, their purpose in life, their personality, and a famous quote of theirs, written in this new language."

General tips to get more fulfillment out of chatGPT.

"ChatGPT gave me a long response, but it looks like it cut off at a given character limit. I wish I could see how it finished."

Simply write the word "Continue", and submit it as your next prompt. It will continue where it left off.

"ChatGPT gave me a list of really great ideas. I want to hear more about one specific concept it brought up."

Ask it to "elaborate" on that specific concept! It's very conversational, and will drill down further. This is particularly helpful if you're looking to generate lore, or a blog post, or a Twitter thread.

"I wish ChatGPT would save my chat history. It's annoying that every time a new session starts, we have to start from scratch."

When you are ending a given session that you are enjoying, ask it to summarize your chat history to that moment in bullet points. It will give you a summary. Save that list of bullet points in a text doc. The next time you go to open up a session, copy + paste the list into chatGPT with a simple message like "Here are some things you should know about me & my work, as I'm going to make references to these concepts today in future messages."
