Most Web3 & Crypto bloggers' main income has never been from a few hundred bucks of ads. After over a year of observing: ⭐️ Follower count and engagement have nothing to do with making money. · Plenty of bloggers with just a few hundred followers make more in a month than I do in a quarter! · Some big accounts with 30-50k followers, no content, no data, and only a few hundred views per post still make way more than hardworking top-tier bloggers. ———————————————— For non-top players: Clinging to projects and agencies is 100x more effective than begging for follow-backs. ———————————————— ① A lot of people become bloggers with the ultimate fantasy of "monetizing through ads." But the truth I’ve seen over the past two years is: The real decent income (500K to 1M RMB) 99% doesn’t come from ads, but from directly working with projects. ———————————————— ② What determines the quality of your resources is always your network, not your numbers. In any niche, the truly valuable opportunities are locked within a few small circles. If you can’t get into the circle, 50k followers mean nothing; if you’re in, 500 followers are enough to make a living. ———————————————— ③ There are no real rags-to-riches stories in this space, only mean reversion. Accounts that get temporarily boosted by trends but lack substance—90% of them will inevitably fall back within a year. This is the same reason why players who made a quick buck in the last L2 wave can’t replicate their success. ———————————————— ④ The essence of Web3 & Crypto is still about networks. ———————————————— ⑤ For ordinary people, the only way out has always been within the main narrative.
