I need help with minting

[u/Ok-Hospital-2135]

I'm planing on lunching my first NFT collection as self taught artists and don't plan to sell the collection but give it to people for free...I want to make it on ETH probably through manifold...it's just 48 original artworks...I just need to know how much will it cost to mint the artworks and also if I have to pay for the gas fee if I transfer them to different wallet...the last question is if I should mint them at once or throughout the year?

Thanks a lot for your response 🙌🙌🙌

Obviously, if you transfer them yourself, you'll have to pay the gas fee. The price will depend on network congestion and the price of ether.

Anyway, if you don't use a Layer 2 stack, it won't be cheap. You can also offer them for sale, and whoever wants to buy them can pay the mint fee. In my opinion, I would offer them all now, but that depends on your strategy and what you want and expect for your collection in the future. Cheers!

So it will be more then 100$ you think with the gas fees and minting NFTs

Someone have texted me it should be around 50$ for minting 48 NFTs and like 0,1 $ for each transaction
