Only one thing separates you from success in InfoFi narrative.

Let's take a closer look at @stayloudio leaderboard. The top 25 users share the prize pool, but there are no random people at the there.

The key metric here is smart followers. Why is this important?

Simply put, after many algorithms, the actions of a smart follower are valued more, enhancing the account's statistics.

Moreover, an inner circle forms among smart followers, where everyone interacts to boost their mindshare.

Of course, everyone has the opportunity to climb the leaderboard regardless of their account size, but it will require much more effort.

The main question is how to gain smart followers. Here are the three best ways based on my two years of experience on CT:

1) Reply: The golden rule for any beginner (and not only). Do it smart, consistently, and often. Avoid using AI - it's immediately obvious.

2) Write smartly: Look at @0xCheeezzyyyy or @kenodnb. They don't have many followers but attract smart followers because they write interesting content.

3) Be helpful: The worst thing you can do is ask for a follow in a DM. Instead, be attentive and assist someone when needed - that's the best way to connect.
