# How to set up your Media manager

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/y7H-CuLm_oQ>" %}

To be able to publish a "Premium Project," you must set up an "NFT Collection Address." You can set it up within the "Media manager."

To reach the Media manager, click on your wallet address in the top right corner and select "Media manager."

***Step 1:*** Select your preferred "Contract Standard." from the drop-down menu. Select either ERC721 or ERC1155.

{% hint style="info" %}
ERC721 - used where there are different designs within a collection as each NFT is different and made as a single NFT.\
ERC1155 - used when creating many of the same NFTs.
{% endhint %}

After you choose your contract standard, click the "Create NFT Collection" button as shown and enter the required information in the pop-up window.

{% hint style="danger" %}
When you set the "Collection name", only use numbers and letters. Do NOT use symbols!\
\
When you set the "Collection Tiker", only use capital letters and numbers. Do NOT use symbols!
{% endhint %}

&#x20;Once completed, click "Confirm" and approve the transaction in your wallet.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Remember that the gas fees will be applied, and you must pay them to deploy the contract address. The price depends on the blockchain you choose for your project and how busy the network is currently.

The **Collection Contract** holds the creator's NFT collection. A creator can set up multiple collection contracts for different NFT collections.

The **Mint Manager** contract allows end users to mint NFTs in the collection.

The **Asset Manager** contract allows creators to release batches of NFTs from the collection in phases to increase end-user interest and momentum.

The **Pass Manager** contract keeps track of raffle winners and adds their wallets to the “authorized to mint” whitelist.

The **Fee Manager** contract manages automated platform fees. An automated fee can only be set up with the approval of both the creator and 8mint through a pair of cryptographic, gas-free signatures.
{% endhint %}

***Step 3:*** Set a minting price for your NFT collection by clicking the "Set Mint Price" button.
