> you save $1500/m for not having a gf
> you save $1200/m for not spending on luxury trying to impress women

I set myself a goal to start making new connections
For the last two years I didn’t really care about this, even though I love talking to people and listening to their experiences so I can pick up something useful for myself
But two months ago I made it a goal to just get to know people anywhere: on the street, in the gym, online, wherever
And most importantly to give some kind of value if I can
I’ve met only a few people so far, just 3 we actually exchanged contacts with, and maybe 2–3 more I occasionally chat with at the gym
That’s already not a bad start, but I basically have zero connections in CT, and I want to fix that too

I really regret not building connections earlier Now that I'm starting to learn AI, I'm facing the problem of monetization. It's not as easy and obvious as it seems or as they write about it in CT The effective way to find clients that I've discovered is through my own acquaintances One of my friend is creating an AI chat agent for his other friends Another friend is building websites for his friends too And I also found clients only through friends Before, I didn't pay attention to this, everything happened on its own Now I realize I was making a mistake But it's never too late to start

Hollywood has been teaching storytelling..
The classroom is still open, most people
just never show up as a student. Every cut,
every pause, every line of dialogue is a decision
someone made intentionally. if you want to
learn storytelling, start asking/figuring ''why's''
here' are some new upcoming films to start:

The only thing that interests me in Web3 right now
> Is Base and Surge
Honestly, no matter what anyone says, there aren’t that many opportunities at the moment
Especially for those who want to make something starting from absolute zero
But let’s be real, tough times will pass sooner or later, and our job is just to prepare for the good times and survive right now
Gathering patience and keep moving forward

Creating websites is just one of the AI directions I’m interested in mastering
The arrival of AI didn’t make me want to leave Web3 at all
On the contrary, I realize that the more I level up my skills here + in AI, the more opportunities I’ll start noticing
Right now Web3 just isn’t that exciting, and to avoid wasting a ton of time for nothing, I need to switch focus to something else for a while
What are you studying right now?

I need to build 10 websites in a month Last week, my friends asked me to create a website for a marketing agency I practiced with design, improving security, adding payment systems, and other features After I made the site for one friend, the others wanted one too Honestly, I don’t even know if they’ll pay me for it (I’ll make them) But I’m using this as a chance to learn how to use AI, knowing that I’m not just doing it for nothing and that real people will actually use what I create That’s probably the best feeling ever

@Slayed_eth here the question is probably not about the number of options but about how to choose that very one
But in any case, I still have to choose

reply guying without a system is meaningless
things change really quickly when you have a clear goal:
> to network effectively
> to put your brand out there
> to warm up your new leads
yes, without a system you may get random viral replies, but you're targeting nobody
change the way you do reply guying and the results will correlate

@josephweb3 Right now in Web3, only those who have extra income or who made a ton of money before are left
English
in dec 2025: she reached out to me.
now 2026, she’s hired and now working full-time as an SMM.
> most wins just doesn't take time.
> most wins requries constant improvement
she reached out asking some tips, she applied those tips and this is the result of her hardwork
what's your excuse? been helping people and answering questions since 2024, and this is just one of the success stories that i receive.
if you are in web3 and solely hoping to get an airdrop or flip an NFT for some dollars, or maybe trade random memecoins... you are missing out BIG TIME.
the most sustainable in web3 is not those stuffs, i treat those stuffs as a side quests to earn extra money, my main quest is to land a high-paying job and you should too!

speaking from personal experience,
AI is the worst copywriter but the best tool for writers
never ever completely automate your posts via ai
but you can always improve your posts with ai
and no, its not a bad thing to use ai as a tool if youre a creator

If you work in marketing, growth, or community and you’re not leveraging AI for your work yet, you’ll be behind.
Everyone’s focused on the code gen stuff (as am I) because it’s impressive. But that’s not the only play.
You can:
→ Build your own internal systems + dashboards
→ Generate entire content calendars, briefs, and strategy docs
→ Create presentations + pitch decks from scratch
→ Scrape & analyze data using pay per use APIs
→ Automate reporting
→ Build custom workflows that replace 3-4 tools you’re currently paying for
The tools are already here, and they’re really powerful.

Basic marketing knowledge is just as important as knowledge of AI
Even if you don’t want to develop in it, basic marketing knowledge will help you a ton
How?
“Most purchase decisions or actions we make unconsciously under the influence of marketing triggers, emotions, and subconscious associations, not rational analysis”
Marketing is literally everything we interact with every day
We constantly buy only one kind of chocolate just because we’ve seen it in ads so many times and don’t even notice the other 100 varieties
Marketing is sales, communication with people, different ways of growth and, first and foremost, growth of yourself
I got interested in this because I understand that in the AI era, communication with people and distribution will be extremely important
