if you don’t build your X account, there’s nothing for you in the long run. you heard me right. trust wallet set a new policy: all leads (affiliates) must build their X profile. i expect other brands to follow suit soon but i might be wrong. “interns with 100 followers are working with top brands in the crypto space.” “they’re people making so much money with few followers.” if you’ve internalized the above, please unlearn them. this would only work depending on what you’re doing here. and the bitter truth is most of you don’t know why you’re here. there’s a reason why you met the web3 space like this. i mean the hierarchy and the way things are done (not talking about scams or the creator extraction going on with some of these marketing agencies). i know some of you don’t agree with the way things are done but game is game. “if you’re good, you’re good” won’t pay you shit because these projects know what they’re looking for. you could have 1K followers and very good engagement (100 likes, 50 retweets, 15K+ impressions) and still miss out on some gigs because you don’t meet the required follower count. the bar before was having 1K followers. once you hit 1K followers, you’ve made it. there was no ambassador gig you’d apply for that you wouldn’t get. mini KOL requirements were 1K followers and above. that period, people would say if you have 1K followers and you’re not making money, you were doing something wrong. things have changed now; old playbooks don’t work anymore, and the bar is getting higher. it’s now 2K, 3K, or 5K minimum follower requirement for certain gigs. then you have your sorsa and X score. this year, people minted an NFT worth $100 because they had a sorsa score of 100 and above. lastly, i need you to start telling yourself the truth. you know why you’re here and how you want to make money. emphasis on “how you want to make money.” because we all want to make money in different ways. stop blindly following advice from people who have good engagement, high sorsa score, and huge followings tell you what to focus on or not. you’ll weep when a solid opportunity passes you by because you didn’t meet certain requirements. there’s a reason why tunnl offers certain creators USDT and some tickets. understand the game you’re playing and position yourself accordingly. i have a lot to say, but i’ll drop my pen here.
