How To Grow in Web3

I thought Web3 is just learning a skill, jumped into job hunting and start earning.

I never knew that it's deeply rooted until I started the journey of learning.

The day I joined a space, I was very excited, curious and ready to grind but also confused because the terms were overwhelming.

Outside being overwhelmed, too many people were flowing with these terms as if they are founders or co-founders of Web3.

At the end of the space, though I got some knowledge but one thing that bothered me and I sought to know was, "How do people actually grow in Web3?"

I realized one thing and this is, "Growth in Web3 is not just about learning. It's about learning, building and been consistent in what you are doing.

I believe that I am not the only person that found himself in such situation. That's why I am going to detail out the approaches that I took to help myself grow in Web3.

Daily document your journey as it brew trust and attracts opportunities over time.

4. Engage With different Communities, Not Just Content.

This is where credibility shows forth. Proof of work speaks louder than whatever you are in Web3.

Writing articles, creating content, volunteering, or participating in bounties helped me demonstrate my skills. Your work tells your story better than words ever could.
