Five ways to turn web3 contributions into a paid role ⬇️
1) Content
Ever project is always in need of high quality content.
Whether it's an article, video or podcast, find a way to explain how a protocol works and why it matters.
Teams will pay you to produce more of it.

2) Coordination
Show that you can moderate and manage a growing community.
Take notes during calls, prepare agendas and be the most trusted voice.
Information is so ephemeral and great coordinators make sure updates and developments are always heard.

3) Governance
More and more projects are starting to reward governance participation.
A clear example of this is @NexusMutual while @iearnfinance and @KyberDAO let you compound your stake by voting to unlock a claim on protocol fees.

4) Evangelism
Bring new partners into your favorite ecosystem(s).
Encourage collabs but be careful about the convos you tee up. Optimize for long-term impact, rather than press optics.
Quality relationships lead to paid roles.

5) Context
Perhaps the most intangible but most valuable.
Know the market like the back of your hand. Learn to speak confidently on why they move the way they do.
Come to be respected for your edge and use it to recommend trends before they take form.

These steps tied together make you a dangerous weapon any project would be lucky to have.
However, the commitment to master all of these requires full dedication and cannot be half assed.
Prepare to work double shifts and go above and beyond what's expected.

The best part?
All these opportunities can be compounded.
Once you get the hang of it, the web3 cheat code of stacking income starts to take form.
Get paid in crypto, invest in crypto and watch that income grow.
This is a positive sum industry and you are the catalyst.

Wondering how to get started?
Pick your 3 favorite projects (the earlier the better) and dive into Discord. Spend an hour on their governance forums and read up on the latest developments.
Learn about the team and their respective roles.
Make yourself impossible to ignore.

As someone who did all the above and now has a dream job at @AudiusProject I can tell you this works!
It took me four years but I've never felt more confident about my value or my (future) impact on the space.
DM's are always open, hit me up for tips on where to go next!
