today marks my 3mth in #NFTs
heres 5 things i've learnt
👇🧵

ps: started with 2E,
0 tech skills,
0 twitter follower,
0 connections in the space.
(i share this, so you know im not talking from a high horse and u can do the same)

1. learn

if things seem complicated and way over your head, but ppl are talking abt it and there is buzz ard it. don't just wave it off. i did that with #nfts in March and once again when gen kongz were at 5E and when @AnonymiceNFT was free to mint...

take the time to understand it and then be the judge to say whether its for you or not.

never assume.

2. pay ur dues

right when i got in the space, i know i want to start a project one day. i have no connections, no tech skills, no idea. so how? go volunteer your time. thats when i reached out to @day25 and started to help with @NFTeams_ which just sold out ytdy! 🥂

don't penny pinch, give give give and you shall receive. never asked for a single dime from @day25 and had no exception of anything, tho @day25 took care of me 🙇‍♂️
even without, my intent was to learn, so im more than happy to give.

learn to pay your dues.

3. community

i have a family of 3 (soon 4), a IRL biz to run. so i barely have anytime to hang out in discords to shoot the shit all day. but being able to hang in one/two is important as your net worth is your network.

my biggest incentive to get the genesis @CyberKongz , is to get into the gated channel of gen hall.
just think of a second, this group of degens all hold a $300k+ USD membership... clearly, they must be doing sth right..

be the dumbest person in the room.

4. connect

reach out to ppl a few steps ahead of you and connect with a purpose so you can learn from them. everyone's busy. what value do you bring? how can you help? why would they want to meet with you?

never ever approach a dm with a straight ask. no one likes that, and no one has time for that. don't ask for how you can help or be of value, show value.

ie. hey i see that you are looking for a pixel artist, this is a sample i created for you. let me know if i can help.

5. be a creator

what i've decided to share are all the lessons that i've learnt. not so much abt the flips and which projects to invest in because mastering these 5 lessons would yield you much greater returns.

projects come and go
your skills, abilities, connections you develop
those stay.

having said that i gotta say i got real lucky to flip my way up and if you want to get lucky as well, what do you do?

follow/retweet this 😆😆😆

so you know when my next thread drops as i share more on what i look for in #nft projects.
