Raised $500k via NFT collection. Interested in knowing the process, struggles, and what I learned?

I am not a regular crypto guy, but I found out about NFT back in 2017 when the first NFT project was created, Crypto Punks and Crypto Kitties.

However, since I am not a fan of VC, and other similar investments, I was always interested in crowdfunding campaigns, KickStarter, IndieGoGo.

In late 2021, while I was bootstrapping Automatio.co and while burning out with a work, and waiting for my first child to be born, I decided to dive in and relax a bit in the world of NFT.

At one moment, I realized, why not use NFT as a tool and build something useful for the ecosystem while raising money from the people who wanna invest in your project?

I ended up raising ~$500,000 from a bunch of people. If you wanna learn how I did it, through what struggle and pain I went through, and what I learned along the way, then let me know in the comments.
