My reward-seeking methodology, the ultimate guide for laborers seeking rewards.

I feel that I represent the current situation of many reward seekers: ordinary players with no resources, no professional background from unrelated industries, little funding without significant results, and no clear direction.

Today, I share my reward-seeking methodology, hoping it helps you, and I welcome everyone to engage in discussion.

—————————————————————————

Part one, find projects. I have three channels for sourcing the projects I focus on:

First, @RootDataCrypto, this website is a must-visit for reward seekers, with comprehensive project information. You can find high-quality early projects here;

Second, @KaitoAI, if you have trouble making choices, just look at the projects that Kaito recommends; generally, projects that make it onto Kaito's list prove their strength and willingness to market, so just pursue them directly;

Third, some knowledgeable KOLs on Twitter. Here I recommend @Airdrop_Guard (Alpha Group), @Ice_Frog666666 (Ceiling Group), @Benjieming1Q84 (Execution Group), and of course, there are many other excellent bloggers. Everyone can filter based on their own preferences.

I believe these channels are sufficient. For those deeply engaged in pursuing rewards, finding projects is not difficult; the focus is on project selection.

Part two, project selection. I have several criteria for deciding whether to pursue a project:

First, strictly control monetary costs. For example, for trading projects, if the fees and losses exceed my acceptable range, I will stop immediately; for staking types, some may have yield tokens, I once took 5 ETH to buy yield tokens and ended up losing a lot, I absolutely will not risk my principal if I don’t even get a small return first;

Second, look at the entry threshold. Some projects are excellent, but they use hunger marketing to take away early opportunities from those with traffic, and when you join, you need to sing, dance, and paint like crazy. If you feel overwhelmed, just give up; there are plenty of projects. If you feel okay, then you can participate, the threshold varies from person to person;

Third, look at the fundamentals. Fundamentals include the track, team, financing, and competition level, with a ranking order. Many excellent projects do not have a halo in the early stages, but what they do is strong enough; this is what we should be looking for. The competition level will change over time, so participation should be early, allowing for offensive and defensive strategies later on.

Overall, selecting a project should be based on your actual situation. If you like chatting, go for valuable roles; if you have more time, go do tasks as a laborer; your actual situation plus competition analysis is enough.

Part three, practical application. I will strive from several dimensions, which are also what I am currently working on:

First, the construction of X accounts. Almost all projects are linked to your Twitter account; creating a Twitter account can put you ahead of others in pursuing rewards. This point should not require further explanation. Of course, it’s difficult, but if you want to continue on this path, you must do this.

Second, continuously follow up on projects. There are too many projects and personal energy is limited; the best way is to form a reward-seeking team to delegate tasks. However, for individuals in the early stages, I recommend starting with one or a few projects to form your own system. I personally create spreadsheets for the projects I follow up on and repeatedly post on social media to ensure I maximize my rewards.

Third, make choices. A project has a lot of content to cover; roles in Discord, on-chain interactions, and social building have almost become standard. If an individual tries to do everything, they might not manage to keep up. Not to mention, if you try to pursue roles in every project, you will become overwhelmed. Therefore, I make choices and pursue rewards in the way that feels most comfortable for me.

Part four, tools.

I am currently not using any tools, everything is done manually. I have used quite a few tools in the past, like ads, IP addresses, testnet scripts, etc., but in the end, statistics showed that if I don’t use these tools, I can still get the same amount of returns I used to.

My suggestion is to configure the tools you need only after you've decided to pursue a project. Use them sparingly when possible; didn’t ads also have security issues?

Doing things manually is the best approach; I prefer doing things manually; it feels reassuring.

————————————————————————

Part five, adjust your mindset.

When pursuing rewards, do not go all in; whether you can obtain significant rewards is related to various factors that are beyond a reward seeker’s control. Therefore, spread your efforts, exchanging time and labor for rewards, rather than relying on an all-in approach.

Do not easily create accounts, as you don’t know if you can keep up later. Newcomers are advised to start with a quality account.

Pursuing rewards is a matter of delayed gratification; the efforts you make now may only yield results a year or so later, so there is no need to rush. The important thing is to believe in this path and keep going.

————————————————————————
In conclusion: Many people are saying that pursuing rewards is dead, but such claims are made every year, so don’t believe it. Pursuing rewards is the only correct way to truly integrate into web3; remember, when pursuing rewards, you are not a gambler; you are a builder. Finally, I wish everyone can achieve great rewards this year!
