How to Create NFT on OpenSea the Easy Way in 2022

How to Create NFT On OpenSea

1. Choose a Marketplace

Just like there is Amazon, Alibaba, Aliexpress, and eBay where you can buy your stuff, there are marketplaces for NFTs. There are two major marketplaces for NFTs: OpenSea and Rarible. OpenSea is an open marketplace for NFTs just like Rarible among others.

Having understood what are Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and the marketplace for selling them; OpenSea and Rarible, let’s go a step farther and understand a few things about these marketplaces of NFT.

2. Understand some fees:

a) The Paid Method

I wouldn’t do you justice if I will not let you know that some of the marketplaces will charge you for listing your NFT on their platform. That fee is usually known as Gas or simply put the transaction fee for using their marketplace.

Sometimes, you will hear of a one-time fee which can be referred to as the account initialization fee which usually costs somewhere between 70 to 140 bucks. You could be wondering, why do I have to pay to create OpenSea NFT?

Well, OpenSea will need that amount so that it can access your wallet. If you are done with that, then you can enjoy some privileges like having the capacity of posting thousands or an unlimited number of NFTs in your collection.

b) The Free Method

Assuming that you don’t have any money, there is a free way of doing it using the Polygon and Flow Blockchain. Well, although it is free, you will be limited on the payments methods, and the number of NFTs you can have in your collection.

However, I recommend using this method as a beginner instead of paying the $140. Nevertheless, with time, you can upgrade and pay a one-time fee to enjoy the full privilege of OpenSea.
