If you want to be great, get real-life insight from people who’ve walked your path.
A friend once showed me how he flipped $50 Upwork connects into $10k in two weeks.
So when I’m in that position, I don’t doubt it, I’ve seen it work firsthand.
Different Web3 roles require different skills.
Frontend and backend:

You don’t need to master everything. Choose the role you want and focus on the technologies that matter for it.
I’ve covered a lot of this on my channel:

Recently got a lot of DMs asking how I got a remote job. So here's what worked for me.
→ Pick one niche and go deep. Something you actually like, that you can talk about without running out of things to say.
→ Be consistent. Do what you're doing everyday, even if it's just for an hour. It builds muscle memory.
→ A few places to find these companies: YC jobs, Wellfound, Remote OK, We Work Remotely. Look for the ones that recently raised funding, they're hiring fast.
→ Find the founder or their employees. Get their contact, X, or email, and message them directly.
→ Keep it simple. Who you are, what you do, one line on why this company. Know about the company first, don't message blindly.
→ If you only want remote, say it upfront in the first message. Don't let it come up later.
→ Send proof of work, not just a resume. Make a Notion doc, write a bit about yourself, and drop the links to your best projects. Add a 2-3 minute Loom video walking through them, it shows the actual effort. If you have open source work, add that too.
→ Don't wait to feel qualified. Just start. But have a few good projects ready before you do.
→ Even if someone rejects you, keep the connection. Say thank you, end it well. I actually got referred to another company by a founder who rejected me.
→ Post your work on X. Doesn't matter how much reach you get, it still increases visibility. I was getting clients even without much reach.
→ It's a numbers game. Do cold DMs every day, make it a habit, not something you try when you're desperate.
→ Keep the consistency and the hard work. You don't know when the opportunity will come.
