The Making of OCM Magazine

It all started on Monday, February 6th, 2023 when initial thoughts of building an online publication for OnChainMonkey turned into full-blown brainstorming and website creation. Shortly after becoming an official OCM holder via purchasing a Karma monkey on February 2nd, the light switch in my brain turned on and it hasn’t gone off since.

What went into the making of OCM Magazine?

Glad you asked. Making OCM Magazine took a combination of critical thinking, planning, creativity, and pure excitement all at the same time. Building OCM Magazine took multiple weeks of mind power, research, coffee, and time staring at computer monitors. It also required dedicated time in solitude, isolated from friends and family members.

Shout out to J25dunn and Snorkeldork for the work they do to contribute to the magazine. J is a talented creator and interviewer. Snorkeldork is a great writer and is working on growing certain areas of the publication. Working alongside other like-minded individuals is such an uplifting and joy-filled experience.

Are we ready? Time to reveal some of the planning that took place before the website was birthed into reality. I like to plan in notebooks, so what you are about to see are the actual pages I used to help brainstorm and formulate ideas for this unique publication.

Community Feedback

OCM Magazine would not be where it is today without the kind words and encouragement from the OCM community.

Here are some of the statements from the OCM official Discord channel:

The following audio clip was taken from a Prop House Twitter Spaces where all OCM community members who proposed a project could give a short pitch. This clip is the response from a couple prominent community members after my pitch.

Transitioning into the future

Now that OCM Magazine is launched, there is so much more to come! This is just the beginning of the endless possibilities that comes with content creation. The sky is the limit as OnChainMonkey continues to deliver their NFT expertise, while the community builds and innovates alongside the Metagood team.

We here at OCM Magazine couldn’t be more proud to release this publication to the OCM community, as well as those who haven’t joined yet and are still on the fence of whether or not OCM is the place for you. Let us be the first to tell you…
