When you think about NFTs, written articles aren’t the first thing that come to mind. But **Mirror** is quickly changing that. In this guide, we’re going to dive into [**Mirror**](https://mirror.xyz/) - **a web3 toolkit for sharing stories, funding ideas, and turning text-based content into NFTs** - **and mint an entry of our own!**

What Do I Need?
---------------

Before we begin, let’s make sure you have your gear in order. To mint an entry on Mirror, you will need:

*   An Ethereum wallet, such as MetaMask or Rainbow
    
*   Some ETH in your wallet to mint your article as an NFT. It is free to publish an article on Mirror, but minting it as an NFT will require gas fees.
