how to transition from
web2 --> web 3
(full job guide)
🧵👇

we all know web3 is the future,
but how do you make it tho?

how do you transition your real life exp
into this world?

where do you even begin?

this space is unique that we can all make it
i know because
YOU are special🌟

lets dive in!

to begin - i asked u, what do you do? (web2)👇

(thanks for answering)

https://twitter.com/wilxlee/status/1451192711260766212?s=20

i compiled a list of over +100 and categorized into

8 buckets
1. frontline 20%
2. students 5%
3. influencers 2%
4. creatives 10%
5. engineers 20%
6. professionals 15%
7. marketers 8%
8. entrepreneurs/executives 20%

1. frontline 20%
(barber, bank, pharmacist, real estate agent, fast food, farmer, nurse, oil, sales, etc.)

most are attracted by the quick $ that #nfts
have to offer through flips.

this is great and what got me hooked to begin with.

in order to really reap the benefits in this space, we must provide value.

how? learn a skill.

most relatable skill:
1. community builder ($80k+)
- start by being in discord channels and give, give, give.
- mods will see that & when right opportunity comes u will be noticed

- u answer questions, u understand the web3 culture, u learn, u seek solutions, u coordinate announcements, u manage other support teams, manage tweets and communication.

- u gain access + connections that leads to better things in the future

- start by giving and engaging

2. students (5%)

u are in a golden opportunity now. there are no jobs out there that are in higher demand than a developer right now.

if web2 = doctors/lawyers
then web3 = developers

web3 ideas are abundant - what is lacking are the people to build it.

most relatable skill:
- be a developer ($150k+)
- learn on youtube, learn on udemy
- go on github, learn there, chat with ppl
- take what you've learnt and build things
- start now and thank me in a year

(if u can't afford it, dm me, ill gift u one)
udemy.com/course/ethereu…

3. influencers (2%)
(athletes, social media, actors)

biggest mistake i see is when web2 influencer/actor come into this space and quickly launch a series without being in this community, most flop.

web3 community is a strong one. they sniff the fakes, cash grabs, a mile away.

web2 audience does not translate into web3.
10k IG followers does not mean 10k CT followers.

take the time to connect, learn, give, engage.
launch w/e AFTER.
ppl will support u.

be in the game for the long haul.

most relatable skill:
- community building ($$$)

4. creatives (10%)
(photographer, designers, musician)

u are special 🌟
know this and continue to define your voice.
own your domain and style.

be loud and proud.

initially it might be tough to gain traction, but web3 is such a supportive community that as long as you are

a. consistent x100
b. voice is defined

u will attract supporters.

most relatable skill:
- community building ($$$)

5. engineers (20%)
(civl, software, dev, game dev)

u are a special breed friends. world is your oyster.
your web2 skill in designing and building is precisely what web3 is thirsty for now.

whether its NFTs, Defi protocols, gaming, DAOs, whatever you choose

the #crypto space is too vast.

choose your cup of tea, then double down.

most relatable skill:
- language (solidity/rust/etc)
- game design

6. professionals (15%)
(HR, accountant, lawyers, etc)

the biggest challenge that i hear is
how is what i do applicable?

web3 might be different,
but the underlying needs are the same.

hr - recruitment might be obsolete in the future with jobs being bountied by liquid teams + DAOs

however - the org structure design, employee incentives, culture building.

these skills are more desirable than ever in web3 and remote working. (DAOs, defi protocol, games, etc)

accountants - ability to minimize taxes for crypto companies/individual is a wide open field.

only 2% replied as this profession in web2.

yet - we see cryptotwitter always in discussion of this topic, not wanting to end up in jail.

we not even seen a full calendar year yet.

lawyers - full evolution of smart contracts may displace majority of lawyers in the future (+5 yrs). however, now lawyers with nft + IRL experience is more needed than ever.

how to maneuverer through securities?
are DAOs legal? are tokens? is profit sharing?
sports betting?

bottom line is, if you are a professional - you are good.

most relatable skills:
- YOUR current skill. ($$$)
- choose a niche to serve in web3.
- double down, create specific content on twitter.
- build your reputation/community.
- you will attract more clients than ever.

7. marketers (8%)
(copy writer, digital marketing, social media, ecom)

web2 marketing world is a dog eat dog world.
if you can survive there, you will thrive here.
focus on delivering true value + impact.
forget the black hat tactics.

ALL type of projects need you.
#DAOs, new protocols, #nfts, #defi

most relatable skills:
- influencer marketing, copy writing, brand collabs, email marketing, content marketing
- all these work - we don't even need paid ads now if you are good.
- focus on ONE vertical.

8. entrepreneur/executive 20%
(real estate, business, execs)

u are my fav breed, cause im u.
we are here to build value and impact the world.
all we need to do, is focus on a problem
we want to solve. then double down.

don't let the quick cash, rug pull nft projects, IDOs, fool u. i know u can pull it off, but we are in it for the long haul.

most relatable skills:
- deliver true value = exponential returns

bottom line is this is a new world we are building and there is more than enough for everyone.🌟

everyones on the same starting line.

no more excuses.

u just need to do it.

like and retweet this. save it.
send this to your normies.

my mark in this space is to help everyone make it
#WAGMI 🌟🌟🌟
