Feeling stuck workwise? Time for a professional makeover!

A typical 9-to-5 might provide financial stability for a long time, however, it is not the key to true financial freedom. Overall, many tend to hit a plateau in your career and it can be frustrating, especially once you start feeling stuck in your current job. Maybe you’re no longer excited about your daily tasks, or your goals feel distant and out of reach.

Freelancing and solopreneurship open doors to opportunities that prioritize flexibility, innovation, and autonomy. We are helping you get over this gap by offering decentralized payment options, ensuring you are compensated fairly and promptly without intermediaries taking a significant cut.

The rise of web3 has redefined the way we see freelancing, as more individuals embraced new opportunities in emerging areas such as blockchain development, analytics, immersive marketing and DeFi.

Keep in mind that Web3 doesn't always have to mean blockchain analytics. From content creation to tokenomics consultants, you can have it all!

Discover the power of micro-niches

Instead of competing in crowded and saturated marketplaces, focus on finding a micro-niche that makes you more visible to a specific group of clients who are actively seeking your expertise. If you have experience in traditional marketing, you would be inclined to generally lend your expertise, doing all the tasks you learned in your day job.

Try this - instead of branding yourself as a generic “web3 marketer”, who knows it all, you could specialize in creating tailored campaigns for web3 projects with utility in areas you care about promoting (i.e. NFT projects with sustainability application or web3 gaming projects looking to target regular gamers).

This way, you are not only reducing competition but also positioning yourself as an expert in your field. Clients are more likely to pay premium rates for someone who deeply understands their unique needs and their areas of operation.

Plus, having a niche makes your portfolio stand out by showcasing highly relevant and targeted work instead of a broad mix of unrelated projects.

Experiment with emerging payment options

If you are reassessing your career, you are no longer confined to traditional salaries and fixed rates. Web3 has disrupted conventional payment models, by innovating through tokenized rewards, revenue sharing, and staking. When working with a web3 project as a freelance, most likely you will be paid in their native token. Don't hesitate to be compensated with tokens representing a share in a dApp or platform! This way, you can align your success with your client's goal.
