There is this misconception that needs to be debunked,

Which is, “Web3 is solely about trading, investing, and chasing the next big alpha.”

If you’re a newbie in the world of Web3, this is how you can make money in Web3 in 4 months without investing $0.

There are two ways to make money in Web3.

1. Sell your time to make money.

2. Use money to make more money.

Let’s expand on “Sell your time to make money.”

Selling your time to make money means offering your skills to clients and getting paid.

Below is the list of skills you can learn to offer and make money in Web3.

1. Content Writing.

2. Solidity developer.

3. Web3 Copywriting.

4. Community moderator.

5. Graphics designing.

6. Web3 researcher.

7. Web Developer.

8. UI/UX Designer.

  1. Content Writer:

Crypto projects need to write every day to address their audience and keep them engaged. Milestones and events need to be published on their blog & social media accounts.

Announcements need to be articulated properly to avoid painting the wrong perception.

You can earn $2,000 per month creating content daily for Web3 projects.

If you can write, Check out this website.

If you have a passion for writing but do not know how to write, learn how to become a good writer from

https://www.julian.com/guide/write/intro

Study only this article.

Write every day.

The more you write, the better you get at writing.

Set up your medium profile and publish your works.

Medium is FREE.

1a. Ghostwriting:

Do you think threadoors who post detailed threads twice daily create these threads themselves? Some Web3 project founders outsource their content to ghostwriters and post it on social media as if they created it themselves.

This is where you can comfortably fix yourself to earn in Web3.

1b. Technical writing:

How do you explain blockchain interoperability to a layman without mentioning relayer, sequencer, chain agonistic, etc.? Relayer, sequencer, and chain agonistic sound strange, right?

That’s how projects make their readers feel when they don’t simplify complex crypto terms.

A technical writer takes complex topics and simplifies them.

This makes it easy for non-technical readers to understand the problem a project is solving.

To become a Technical writer, watch only this video and spend the rest of your time taking action on what is being said here.

2. Solidity developer:

When building a website, use CSS, Javascript, HTML, etc. These are coding languages.

In the blockchain industry, blockchains use different coding languages to deploy smart contracts.

For instance, you have to use Haskell coding language to build a Smart contract on Cardano. To create a smart contract on Solana, you must use Rust or C++.

If you want to develop a smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain, you have to use Solidity.

The most popular coding language in Web3 is Solidity.

If you become a Solidity developer, many high-paying job opportunities exist in Ethereum or other blockchains using Solidity.

New blockchains are springing up with new coding languages.

Learn solidity if you don’t want to learn a skill with limited job opportunities.

3. Web3 Copywriting:

Several crypto projects ask this question,

“Why hire a copywriter?”.

It seems to them that Copywriting doesn’t apply in crypto since non-utility products sell during a bull cycle, and utility products don’t sell during a bear cycle.

Irrespective of the market cycle, Web3 Copywriting involves selling crypto products, such as ICOs, IDOs, etc., by writing persuasive words.

A Web3 copywriter writes copy for course creators, advertisers, and anyone who needs to sell a product or service within the Web3 space. To be a successful copywriter, you need to understand the basics.

The BASIC is understanding “sales psychology”.

Once you understand this, you can sell in any industry and pull numbers.

Learn to sell by following these instructions.

4. Community moderator/manager:

When you join Telegram and Discord groups, there are moderators who respond to questions about a project 24/7.

The community moderator has to maintain an active and engaging atmosphere within the group.

Learn how to build loyal community members.

In Web3, loyal community members are worth more than an efficient product.

One strategy for getting a job as a community manager is to join the community of new projects and be active.

Answer community members’ questions.

After a month, pitch them to make you a paid moderator.

Alternatively, set up an Upwork profile and apply for community moderation jobs.

5. Graphics designing:

Web3 projects require a good logo design, posters, billboards, social media accounts, and any marketing material that requires visuals.

If you are creative and enjoy designing things that are attractive to the eye, you should learn graphic design from Gareth David.

6. Web3 researcher:

Some people search social media and Web3 communities for coins that would do 100x.

They spend most of their time watching YouTube videos and hovering around social media for Alpha coins. I used to have a similar gig.

Working for a premium Discord group owner.

Pick Alpha along the streets of crypto, and include the source and what makes them Alpha on a Google sheet.

Web3 researchers can also work with Web3 media companies to pick daily events in the Web3 space and report about them in newsletters or blog posts.

In most cases, this type of researcher is also a content writer. Pick a new coin and write a detailed report about it to get started.

Why do you think it can give investors a reasonable ROI? Create a medium profile & post it there every week.

7. Web Developer:

Do you know of any utility Web3 project without a website?

You can be sure web developers built these websites.

8. UI/UX Design:

In conclusion.

Do not approach any skill as a temporary skill to catch the Web3 trend.

Pick one, double down on it, and make a career out of it.

Four months isn’t enough time for you to become a professional in your field, but it is enough time to develop a saleable skill in Web3.
