How I made >$40k in the last 30 days purely from social capital (without any deals) It is extremely costly to not spend time on growing your social presence/brand. You're literally leaving a white collar salary on the table if you aren't putting time into this. Couple of notes before the list - these are pretty close to actual TP prices...some could have been a bit higher/lower if conversions to USDC/BTC not executed very well. Commentary on the process below. - $10k from Polkadot mindshare rewards - $2k from X creator monetization/Elon bucks - $6k from Fantasy Top hero payouts (2e+3k frags) - $10k from AI agent 1 (fueled by yap points) - $2.5k from AI agent 2 (airdropped to yaps) - $3k from AI agent 3 - $4k from AI agent 4 - $2.5k from AI agent 5 - $1.5k from AI agent 6 Commentary: It's extremely easy to find content people aren't talking about very much and put some things out there. For me that was Polkadot. Experiment and see what sticks/what doesn't. I've talked about using Hydration (imo the star DeFi parachain for Polkadot ecosystem) to farm yield, gaming stuff coming up on Mythos Chain (FIFA Rivals/Pudgy Party), the new AI/IP parachain, and the technical difficulties of approaching the ecosystem due to some tough UX...and the changes that have been made over time. The point is, there's TONS of stuff to talk about (particularly the governance proposals allocating lots of DOT to various budgets and the JAM rebrand) but many just don't choose to put in the time to research. Another thing to note is these are all literally LIQUID rewards. Not "points" for a future drop, or an IOU, or whatever. Literally converted to hard BTC/stables. The funnier part is that I intentionally have not farmed a TON of protocols, especially pre-TGE mindshare boards. There's a lot of free money to be picked up, but each creator has to decide which places they're going to spend their time looking. These numbers aren't necessarily repeatable MoM, but it's an example of what you can do with relatively low effort (once you've put the time into building your brand). The most insane part is I didn't include any promo/deals...which I declined tons of. Never been a better time to be a competent content creator in crypto.
