Hi /r/NFT community

After about 10 days (20-30 hours total) of creation time, I posted a piece on OpenSea to sell but didn't get any bites. I have tried different ways to sell it. Starting bid as low as possible for 30 days. Then when that didn't work, I started at 2 ETH and did a reverse bid auction where the price declines over time until someone bids and that didn't work either.

I see some of these profile picture / avatar NFT collections and they sell a ton.

What am I missing out on?

Someone said it's because no one knows who I am. But how many people know who the artist is behind the art they're getting? Do you know every artist's name from the NFT you buy? I see that some Profile picture generative art doesn't even have a signature on them for you to know who the art was made by.

I signed mine.

Someone also said I should lower the price of my 1/1 and even said to lower it lower than some of those profile picture NFTs that are .01 ETH. I've made a generative set and a pseudo-generative set for 2 collections and know how much time it can take to make those. But as an artist, I wanted to do 1/1s for myself and my 1/1 i spent 20-30 hours on over 10 days. I put a higher value on the piece because of the time spent and it only being a 1 / 1.

Because generative art / profile picture art is variants of an "original" so each variant in itself in a way of thinking is a 1/1; is that the better route to selling art as NFTs so that it's inexpensive so everyone can get one without it being super expensive?

Thus making more opportunity for a community to form around my art?

What do you as suggest I do?

Should I pause on the idea of doing 1/1s and do a variant generative set instead?

Then once I have a community of people with my variant art , then post 1/1s for the super collector?

Thanks for your input.
