😱 $1,000,000 from a small role in a crypto project
I've been wanting to share a story for a while about how one person caught a lifechange drop just by working in a far-from-the-biggest position.
I won't say what project it is or who exactly, but I think there are plenty of stories like this in the market. Killing the topic, so to speak.
☕️ Brew yourself a cup of fomo and let's go
So, there's this kind of role in projects, everyone calls it differently, but the idea is simple - onboarding influencers. Let's imagine it's a small perp-dex trying to find its place in the market.
And you're an admin who sits in Discord and occasionally chats with the team. At some point, you take responsibility and say you know a lot of people and want to onboard influencers who will support this project.
Entry is, as always, limited by invites, and without you nobody can get in, and they also can't easily invite others.
Your interest? Just a few little points from refs of refs. A tiny bit. For the project, it's a normal practice. Refka is the best marketing. And if it's well thought out and structured - it's a straight gem.
You go into influencer TG channels, try to prove the project isn't garbage, talk to people, get ignored, but little by little you gather people who want to support the project.
Then the project grows, the ones you onboarded are already talking about it, invites are flying to users, and you, on the second level, vacuum up the rewards promised by the team.
At some point, boom - the project becomes stronger, more promising, and now people come to you for invites. But you don't just hand them to influencers. You bring in friends, people from Discord, write posts on X. Because you make a lot of noise and people know you - your X posts get supported by other community members, you build organic reach.
If you get VERY lucky, some super bull post might even get retweeted by the team and you'll get another wave of organic.
⚡️ And then something really loud happens.
For example, an insane investment. That's it - now you're replying with a delay, demanding posts and so on. And your refka starts generating an indecent amount of points.
The influencers you onboarded recommend you to other influencers, and bang bang bang, you realize that doing nothing - you're farming more points than any influencer of any size.
🤑 TGE TGE TGE
TGE comes, harvest time arrives.
The project lists at a huge valuation, and your rewards are measured in 7-figure numbers.
LIFECHANGE - ✔️
You go from a simple Discord admin chewing on bread with salt into the cohort of the few people who can brag about a 7-figure bank at 24 years old.
Top? Easy?
❌ Not quite.
Along the way, 100 things can go wrong.
- The project can flop, and at TGE you'll see a 5k drop for a year of work.
- The project may not want to give you anything and you'll just get 1% of fees, also far from lc.
- Other people can outpace you - ones who already have a base of influencers they work with.
- Influencers may not listen to you. Even if you're pushing them a gem. The level of trust in you is probably close to 0.
So this case - it's not something just anyone can pull off. It's unlikely you can easily repeat it.
But it's another reminder of what I keep saying. Work, look for new paths, don't lock yourself into one direction.
A simple and obvious-to-you idea might be the thing that changes your life and that others don't notice!
LFG
I won't get tired of repeating it Crypto is a social elevator. But there aren't many spots in it.
P.S. the story is made up, the characters are fictional, and the situations were invented for dramatic effect.
P.P.S. Don't run off to VARIATIONAL or NADO trying to pull off this idea. You're not needed there anymore. You're needed where there's 0 hype and real help is needed. This isn't a story about getting into already established projects. It's a story about work in projects at super early stages when there are barely any people there.
Kitka out 😘
