Launch your own NFT collection & minting site in just 3 minutes - no code needed!
Today we are looking at how to deploy your very own NFT Drop, using a smart contract, with no code needed at all. We'll be using thirdweb.com in order to deploy the contract, and carrd.co to stand up the website.
This video is not sponsored by thirdweb.com nor carrd.co, and we have no official affiliation with either. We just think their services are great to work with, and we enjoy using them.
All of the resources that we walk through in the video are linked up below, as well as a set of written step-by-step instructions for everything we walked through.

Step-by-step instructions:
1. Visit thirdweb's website and sign up: https://thirdweb.com
2. Choose to deploy your project from the Dashboard using the 'Create' button
3. Choose NFT Drop, the ERC721 version.
4. Give this Drop a Name, Description, and Image. This is important! This will be the Name & Description of the collection that show up in a place like OpenSea, and the Image will represent the project. It can be a static image or an animated .gif.
5. Come up with a token symbol. Just like $ETH and $MATIC have a symbol, your NFT will have a symbol.
6. Set your royalty distribution. By default, 100% of proceeds will be delivered to the wallet address you logged in with. You can otherwise allocate a percentage to the project fund. If you're the only person working on this, you can keep it at 0% and move on.
7. You're ready to upload your artwork. You can click NFTs, then Batch Upload if you have more than 1 NFT to add.
8. Setup a folder on your computer if it's not setup already, and make sure it has a properly formatted .csv file with the NFT metadata, as well as your images named numerically & sequentially. You can use the template provided in the Links section above to help.
NOTE: Make sure that the headings of 'name' and 'description' are lowercase in the .csv file. This is necessary to make sure that OpenSea reads it correctly. Otherwise, they will just show up as though they are additional NFT properties.
9. Upload your folder in the Bulk Create section.
10. Review your data to make sure it all looks good!
11. Set your Claim Conditions under Settings.
12. Either visit the 'Code' section if you are/have a developer, or visit the Embed option if you're going the no-code route.
13. You can embed this widget into your site or landing page. We use carrd.co in this tutorial.
14. Share what you've created with us, and all of your friends - nice work!
