Ordinary People Entry: Web3: The Hidden Skills of Work

Web3 work is not just a job; it is a field full of immense potential and career opportunities. In just 3-6 months, you can transition from a content creator to a Web3 marketing expert, or increase your monthly salary from $1,000 to $10,000.

This explosive growth stems from a talent shortage in the crypto space, requiring individuals to master: product building, personal brand development, and the ability to effectively maintain community engagement.

Most importantly, you do not need prior experience; the key is to take action immediately.

Why is Web3 work so attractive?#

The significant difference in salaries compared to Web2 is that Web3 job opportunities have higher potential. Due to high demand and vast growth potential, Web3 talent typically earns 20% to 100% more than similar positions in Web2.

For example, a community manager with 2-3 years of experience in Web2 usually starts at $40,000 to $60,000, while in Web3, the same position can start at $60,000 to $100,000. Additionally, Web3 offers rapid development opportunities, and seizing these chances can lead to "financial freedom."

The industry is rapidly evolving and short on experts, thus full of limitless possibilities. This is precisely why I initially chose Web3: it values skills and practical experience. In contrast, in the Web2 space, I often faced barriers of "traditional experience," which never enhanced efficiency. Not to mention, most Web3 jobs do not even require a degree.

The core lies in your skills, practical experience, and continuous growth.

💎 Explosive Growth Opportunities#

1⃣ Career transition in 3-6 months (e.g., content creator → Web3 marketing expert)
2⃣ Salary growth potential up to 10 times (case: monthly salary $1K → $10K)
3⃣ 82% of positions do not require traditional degrees, focusing on practical abilities

It is difficult to provide specific numbers for Web3 salaries because primary income often extends beyond wages. For example: some KOLs charge a minimum of $3,000 per advertisement, asset recovery fees can be 50% (a $200,000 investment can yield $100,000 profit), independent developers can earn $200,000 monthly from plugin development, and project marketing dividends can yield $200,000 profit from a 1% token growth.

If you are ready to work and continuously develop, part-time positions (working 5-7 hours a day) can earn at least $1,500 to $2,500 per month. Meanwhile, developer salaries are nearly limitless, depending on specialization. Mastering specific Web3 skills (like Rust or Solidity) can yield 100-300% more than equivalent Web2 developers.

Experienced marketers and consultants in part-time positions can earn at least $5,000 per month, with the potential to exceed $100,000 or more. Income entirely depends on the value you provide. It is crucial to value your time and objectively assess your skills, especially the specialized skills I will introduce. The following will delve into salary details for various positions.

💎 Significant Salary Advantages#

Web3 practitioners earn an average salary 20-100% higher than their Web2 counterparts, with core reasons being:

1⃣ Talent supply-demand imbalance: a global shortage of 300,000 blockchain developers
2⃣ Direct value creation: project earnings are highly tied to individual contributions
3⃣ De-emphasized degrees: 87% of Web3 positions do not require traditional degree proof

💎 Clarify Your Strengths and Interests#

Clarifying your strengths is one of the most critical factors in work. This is not only about Web3 but also about life and any field of success. No matter how high your material pursuits are, if you do not enjoy the process, it is hard to sustain. For example, if you want to become a marketer and this is your expertise, you can easily communicate with clients, develop promotional strategies, test ideas, and not feel burnt out by failures. In Web3 marketing, experiencing five failures may lead to success on the sixth try; it is not a lack of expertise but rather the rapid changes in the industry.

So, how do you practically clarify your strengths and interests?#

In Web3, finding your strengths requires trying different roles and paying attention to your feelings. If you are naturally curious, enjoy analyzing project posts, token economics, or translating complex concepts into understandable tweets—this is the core of a content creator or researcher. If building connections, participating in private messages, negotiating collaborations, and chatting easily energizes you—then you are suited for a business development manager.

Web3 is rapidly evolving, and you will frequently fail, adjust, and adapt. Choosing the right role is not about taking the easiest path but finding the path you are willing to persist in amidst chaos, uncertainty, and volatility. When the market drops and everyone panics, you will not back down because you truly enjoy what you do; this is a sign that you have found your strengths.

How to Build Your Web3 Skill Set?#

(Specific soft skills and hard skills)
Web3 is not about formal education; it requires demonstrating strength under pressure or when "experts" have no answers. Once you establish a solid skill set, becoming a Web3 professional is straightforward—just keep working hard and improving over time.

Essential Soft Skills You Absolutely Need:#

1⃣ Communication
You must know how to communicate professionally, but you also need to understand the real needs of others. Pay attention to how others express themselves in every interaction (whether on TG, X, or email), and always respond calmly. No matter how frustrating the situation, do not display aggression in chats; maintain neutrality even in tough times.

2⃣ Proactivity
Web3 is chaotic, and since PMs often do not perfectly allocate tasks, proactivity is crucial. Do not wait for tasks; instead, make suggestions. Spot an error? Report it. Have an idea for improving a project? Share it—that’s how you demonstrate value and advance faster.

3⃣ Quick Adaptability
Learn to quickly adapt to the market, new tools, and any demands. Do not view new tasks as burdens; take them on easily. Web3 today might be Uniswap, and tomorrow it could be a pump. Do not cling to old ideas—stay flexible, keep learning, and try to understand others' suggestions, even if they sound strange. Many geniuses fail simply because they cling to outdated ideas.

4⃣ Independence
You need to deliver results without reminders. Come up with new ideas, even if no one asks—you are not only developing skills but also actively contributing to project success. Such individuals often attract attention, and even if hard skills are the same, they earn higher salaries.

5⃣ Empathy and Understanding
I have seen many "professionals" who never make an effort to understand me, which is why they miss opportunities. It is not a lack of experience but an overestimation of their understanding and a failure to collaborate. Do not just respond to users or clients; truly understand their needs and ensure satisfaction.

Essential Hard Skills You Absolutely Need:#

1⃣ Writing
You do not need to be a writer, but you must learn to write in an engaging way and create content that people want to read. This will help with content handling, building a personal brand, crafting resumes, responding to clients, and even guiding team copy. If you can write a tweet that gets 100,000 views or a guide that is genuinely read—you are already ahead of most.
2⃣ Content Creation
I distinguish this from "writing" because they are different. Content creation is about analyzing what works and why. This is where I excel. People often ask me how I keep up with trends and consistently publish high-quality content.
The truth is: observe on-chain trends, X media trends, see what other KOLs are posting, and study the engaging elements—views, replies, genuine engagement. The key is to gain inspiration and ask, "Is there a valuable angle that this KOL has not covered that I can better explain to my followers?" Write it down—it might become your best tweet or topic.
Additionally, learn to use visuals. Once I improved my presentation template with data charts, the view count immediately jumped by 20-50%. Start learning this way—do not overcomplicate it. Every expert grows by studying excellent content and improving. If you can continuously improve by over 5%—you can start earning over $2,000 a month.
3⃣ Research and Analysis
Learn to analyze things correctly and become a crypto expert—start with research. Without it, you cannot understand what you are doing or objectively assess competitors. Learn data tools like Dune, study the principles of token economics (truly understand; surface analysis is useless), and the impact of on-chain data changes. When you understand the underlying logic, you can turn noise into actual insights—this is rare and valuable. Without analysis, you are just a basic user; with insights, you can become a KOL. In a rapidly changing market, true success comes from understanding current demands.
4⃣ Basic Technical Skills (even if you are not a developer)
You do not need to write smart contracts in-depth, but you should understand how they work. If you grasp the basics of EVM, gas fee calculations, and how wallets interact with dApps, you are ahead of most marketers, creators, and even Web3 BD personnel. This not only enhances your skills but also protects you—many scam projects appear "safe," but their smart contracts may be unreliable. If you can identify code red flags or understand logic, you can avoid losses. Moreover, projects often focus on the technical aspects. If you do not understand what they are doing, how can you write documentation, explain features, or create meaningful tweets? Spend a few hours researching; if you do not understand, ask AI.
5⃣ Creativity
Creativity distinguishes ordinary professionals from top talents. If you can come up with ideas and assess their feasibility—people will value you more. This is somewhat related to research but different. You need to learn how to think correctly, sit down to solve product problems, and force yourself to find solutions. Come up with multiple ideas and filter out those that are truly meaningful and potentially effective. For example: discovering market arbitrage opportunities and profiting in a short time is very rare.

Web3 is definitely about connections > resumes. Most people I know find jobs through fame, attention, or exposure rather than sending resumes.

🔥 Solving the Issue of Accessing OKX Exchange from Within the Country#

Many exchanges' original domain names may be restricted, or access may be slow due to overseas servers. Ordinary users often feel at a loss and even doubt the platform's issues. In reality, this stems more from the network environment than service interruptions. To address this, exchanges like OKX and Binance regularly update backup domain names to ensure users can access the official website through alternative addresses.
