The hot topic these past couple of days has been KOL income. Over the past few months, I’ve helped connect some big bros and sis with bloggers for collaborations. The reality is, many mid- and lower-tier bloggers don’t have much income beyond just talking big. Recently, Ah Zhao hasn’t had many collaborations or monthly retainers—most of them were declined. ———————————— ⭐️ Never say there are no opportunities. Even in 2025, when everyone says there are no opportunities, things like Trump, M, Aster, 4, etc., will pop up. Basically, every 2-3 months, there’s a wave of opportunities, and these opportunities will flood your homepage. Hold onto your principal, and when the opportunity arises, just hop on. ———————————— This year, just from talking big, the income is roughly 430,000 RMB. In the KOL round, I participated in 6 projects. The most impressive one was Aster, but Ah Zhao was pretty broke before, so I only invested 1,000-2,000 USDT, which wasn’t much. ———————————— Ah Zhao believes you should treat X as your personal business card to the outside world. Make sure it feels authentic. Don’t fake it, and don’t step on others to climb up. The circle is small— what you do at noon might spread by the afternoon. ⭐️ Be your true self. ⭐️ Deeply engage｜Embrace a project, an ecosystem. · For example, Aptos, Sui, Solana... · For example, Hyperliquid, Aster, edgex... Most projects will recruit MODs, ambassadors, angels, etc. I’ve come across several people who served a single project and achieved million-level results. Looking back, Chongxian @chong_xian96799 embraced Aptos for less than a year, and within that year, Chongxian worked so hard that Aptos @Aptos, the Aptos Foundation, and Aptos ecosystem projects all knew about him. ———————————— In the KOL space, only those who can bring buying power｜have the ability to lead orders｜can pull people in, have the chance to earn high prices! Don’t rush to cash out—take it slow, it’s faster that way. As long as you work hard enough, opportunities will come. For ordinary people, deeply embracing something will likely yield bigger returns than being a general blogger.
