As a college student born after 2000 who hasn't graduated yet, I have been in the crypto space for over a year, and I have earned some money. My assets have previously barely reached one million. 💰 I used to manage my own social media, and I never considered myself a KOL because I know my opinion isn't that key. I prefer to call myself an evangelist because I have indeed helped many people go from 0 to 1. One of the most frequently asked questions during this time is: Is it easy to earn money in Web3?

Previously, my answer was: This is the fastest place to earn money / This is the future / This is the internet from ten years ago. However, upon reflection, I found that those who entered the space with me haven't seemed to make any money (not counting the unclear online cases, just counting my classmates around me). So I want to re-answer this question: Is it easy to earn money in Web3? Or how to earn money in Web3.

🍷 Answer: It's not easy, but it is possible.

It's not easy for part-time traders to earn money here by speculating on cryptocurrencies; I have seen too many people lose back what they made. Many people only see the secondary market part and focus only on K-lines and the 'wealth code' in the groups. Web3 is actually similar to a small utopia; you can only truly open the door to Web3 and become a 'native' if you understand the operational logic of each layer inside. Only natives have the chance to achieve those so-called big results.

So how to become such a native, I have summarized some tips👇👇

1️⃣ Clearly define what you want. Web3 is an industry, not a casino. You must look at it with a calm mind; it is also an industry like the internet and finance, where many roles undertake different tasks. Do you want to work for stability, or are you very active in earning, or do you want to be a media KOL, or even do you have the skills to launch a project… all of these are possible. It is definitely not about wanting to get rich quickly and then diving into the secondary market; making money is just a result, not a means.

2️⃣ Capture Attention. Web3 is one of the few industries where attention hasn't been monopolized. I strongly recommend that everyone here create content. The nature of the industry causes attention to shift very quickly. Therefore, how much attention you can capture is a very powerful asset in negotiations, whether for job seeking or for collaboration discussions.

3️⃣ Network Upwards. In traditional industries, if you have one unit of value, you need to network with someone who has two units. But in the crypto space, if you have one unit, you need to network with someone who has ten units; if you have ten units, you need to network with someone who has a hundred units. No one in this field has significantly more qualifications or background than others; it might just be that someone has points that you do not, which can lead to a tenfold income difference. Moreover, the veterans in the industry are quite friendly, they are all evangelists, and they are willing to help newcomers grow. Finally, I wish everyone to become rich soon.
