This is another way for being creative. However, instead of being creative in terms of your work, perhaps add something conceptual in the collection: collect a certain type or amount of items in order to receive another. Or give the items a humorous theme throughout, they don’t have to be taken too seriously. Of course there are die hard hobbyists or fans of certain themes, but a lot of people like to engage in collectibles simply for fun. Other ideas involve collectibles that uncover pirate treasures, or activate the ability to collect another item. The only limit is your imagination.

5. Know what you really like

Making artworks is an honest work. NFT world is also community-based, you need to find a perfect niche and community which suits your artwork style.
