The Secret Tips for Ordinary People to Get Their First Job in Web3

Web3 jobs are far from ordinary careers. It is a field full of immense potential and career opportunities, where you can transition from a content creator to a Web3 marketing expert or increase your monthly salary from $1,000 to $10,000 in just 3-6 months.

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

Most importantly, no prior experience is needed; the key is to take immediate action.

Why are Web3 jobs so attractive?#

The salary difference between Web3 and Web2 is significant, with higher potential for Web3 positions.

Due to high demand and vast growth potential, Web3 talent typically earns 20% to 100% more than similar positions in Web2.

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

The industry is rapidly evolving and experts are scarce, creating limitless possibilities. This is precisely why I chose Web3: skills and practical experience are highly valued. In contrast, the Web2 field is often constrained by "traditional experience," hindering efficiency improvements. Not to mention, most Web3 jobs do not even require a degree.

The core focus is on skills, practical experience, and continuous growth.

💎 Explosive Growth Opportunities#

1⃣ Career transformation 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

Web3 salaries are difficult to quantify accurately, as primary income often exceeds salary ranges.

For example: some KOLs charge a minimum of $3,000 per advertisement, with asset recovery sharing 50% (a $200,000 project could yield $100,000), independent plugin developers can earn $200,000 monthly, and project marketing dividends of 1% token growth can profit $200,000. If you work actively and continuously improve, part-time positions (5-7 hours daily) can yield at least $1,500 to $2,500 monthly. Developer salaries are almost limitless, depending on expertise. Mastering specific Web3 skills (like Rust or Solidity) can lead to earnings 100-300% higher than equivalent Web2 developers.

Experienced marketing and consulting part-timers earn at least $5,000 monthly, with the potential to exceed $100,000. Income is entirely dependent on value contribution. Valuing time and objectively assessing skills is crucial, especially regarding the professional abilities I will introduce later. I will analyze the salaries of various positions in detail.

💎 Significant Salary Advantages#

Web3 practitioners earn an average salary 20-100% higher than their Web2 counterparts, primarily due to:

1⃣ Talent supply and demand imbalance: a global shortage of 300,000 blockchain developers
2⃣ Direct value creation: project revenue is highly tied to individual contributions
3⃣ Degree de-emphasis: 87% of Web3 positions do not require traditional degree proof

💎 Clarify Your Strengths and Interests#

Identifying strengths is a key element of career success, applicable not only to Web3 but to any area of life. No matter how high your material goals are, if you do not enjoy the process, it is hard to sustain. For example, becoming a marketing expert requires proficiency in client communication, strategy exploration, and testing, along with the ability to endure failure without burnout. In Web3 marketing, experiencing five failures may lead to success on the sixth attempt, not due to lack of ability, but because of the industry's rapid iteration.

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

In Web3, discovering strengths requires trying different roles and focusing on personal feelings. If you are naturally curious, enjoy analyzing project posts, token economics, or simplifying complex concepts into tweets, you may be suited for content creation or research. If networking, private messaging, negotiating collaborations, and casual chatting energize you, you may be suited for business development.

Web3 is rapidly changing, often accompanied by failures, adjustments, and adaptations. Choosing the right role is not about taking the easy path, but finding a route you are willing to stick to even amidst chaos, uncertainty, and volatility. When the market drops and others panic, you will not back down because you truly enjoy your work; that is where your strength lies.

How to Build Your Web3 Skill Set?#

(Specific soft skills and hard skills)
Web3 education differs from traditional schooling; it requires demonstrating strength under pressure or when "experts" are at a loss. Once you master solid skills, becoming a Web3 professional is straightforward—continuous effort and refinement are key.

Essential Soft Skills You Absolutely Need:#

1⃣ Communication
You must communicate professionally and understand the true needs of others. Every interaction (whether on TG, X, or email) requires attention to how the other party expresses themselves, maintaining a calm response. Avoid showing aggression in chats, and remain neutral even in difficult situations.

2⃣ Proactivity
Web3 is chaotic, and task assignments are often imperfect; proactivity is crucial. Do not wait for tasks; suggest initiatives. Report errors when discovered, and share improvement ideas. This demonstrates value and accelerates promotions.

3⃣ Quick Adaptability
Learn to quickly adapt to market, tools, and demands. Do not view new tasks as burdens; embrace them easily. The focus in Web3 today may change tomorrow, so avoid clinging to outdated notions—stay flexible, continue learning, and understand others' suggestions (even if they seem strange). Many geniuses fail simply because they cling to outdated ideas.

4⃣ Independence
You need to deliver results without reminders. Proactively propose new ideas, even if no one asks. This not only enhances skills but also contributes to project success; such talent is always in demand, often earning more than those with equivalent hard skills.

5⃣ Empathy and Understanding
I have seen "professionals" miss opportunities due to a lack of understanding of others. It is not a lack of experience but an overestimation of their own cognition and poor collaboration. 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 engagingly and create readable content. This helps you manage content, build a brand, create resumes, respond to clients, and collaborate with teams. If you can write a tweet that gets 100,000 views or a useful guide, you are ahead of most.
2⃣ Content Creation
This differs from "writing" as it involves analyzing the reasons behind effective content. I excel in this area: I am often asked how to keep up with trends and publish high-quality content.
The truth is: observe on-chain and X media trends, study KOL content and high engagement (views, replies). The key is to gain inspiration and think, "Can I explain this KOL's unaddressed angle to my fans in a better way?" Record it down—it might become the best tweet or topic.
Learn visual applications: once you optimize presentations with data charts, viewership can increase by 20-50%. Learn this way—do not overcomplicate. All experts become so by studying excellent content and improving upon it. If you continuously improve by over 5%, your monthly income can exceed $2,000.
3⃣ Research and Analysis
Learn to analyze correctly and become a crypto expert—this starts with research. Without this, you cannot understand your work or objectively assess competitors. Master tools like Dune, study token economics principles (truly understand the logic; surface analysis is ineffective), and the impact of on-chain data. Once you grasp the logic, turn noise into actionable insights—rare and valuable. Without analysis, you are just a basic user; with insights, you become a KOL. In a rapidly changing market, success stems from analyzing current demands.
4⃣ Basic Technical Skills (even if you are not a developer)
You do not need to dive deep into smart contract coding, but you must understand the principles. If you grasp EVM basics, gas fee calculations, and wallet interactions with dApps, you will be ahead of most marketers, creators, and even BD personnel. This not only enhances skills but also protects you: many scam projects appear "safe" on the surface, but their smart contracts can be unreliable. If you can identify dangerous signals in code or understand logic, you can avoid losses. Additionally, if a project focuses on the technical aspects, how can you write documentation, explain functions, or create meaningful tweets without understanding? Spend hours researching or consult AI.
5⃣ Creativity
Creativity distinguishes ordinary from top talent. If you can propose feasible ideas—people will value you more. This is related to research but different: you need to learn systematic thinking, solve product problems, and filter effective solutions. For example: quickly identifying market arbitrage opportunities and profiting is extremely valuable.

Official Project Recruitment#

In Web3, networking is absolutely more important than resumes. Most people secure positions through visibility, being followed, or exposure to work rather than submitting resumes.

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

Many exchanges' original domain names may be blacklisted, or access speed may be affected due to servers being located overseas. For ordinary users, this often leaves them feeling helpless, even doubting whether the issue lies with the exchange itself. In reality, this is more about the network environment rather than a service interruption from the platform itself. To address this, exchanges like OKX and Binance typically update backup domain names regularly to ensure users can continue accessing the official website through alternative addresses.

1. OKX backup domain Overseas OKX - Requires VPN or Alternative link
1. Binance backup domain Binance
1. Bitget backup domain Bitget
1. Bybit backup domain Bybit/Bybitglobal
1. Huobi HTX backup domain Huobi/HTX
1. Gate backup domain Gate.io
