Welcome to BitBoy Crypto! The largest crypto channel in all the Interwebs.
My name is Ben.
Everyday on this channel, I show you how to make money in cryptocurrency.
If you like money and crypto,
make sure to hit that subscribe button for your chance to win a full Bitcoin.
Details down below.
In this video, we're going to take a look at how you can make a fortune in crypto,
but not the way you think,
getting a career or business in crypto.
So let's get started with one of the most perceived easiest jobs out there!
Even though it's not and it's a lot of hard work, blood, sweat and tears.
You can become a crypto YouTuber!
Becoming a YouTuber or a crypto influencer allows you to get allocations at a private sale,
affiliate and paid marketing deals,
networking connections with crypto projects,
you get to meet all of the famous people in crypto and more!
I would know as I'm indeed a crypto YouTuber myself.
And one of the most transparent ones at that.
I freely admit that I have a lot of people that work for me.
I don't pretend this channel is all just me.
I've got TJ.
I have researchers.
I have graphics people.
And I have all sorts of other workers working for me doing various different jobs
because this is a business focused on crypto education and information.
And if you guys watch our Hit Network channel, you know that what we do here is a lot of fun.
And every person that works for me
is working in crypto.
They've all got great careers.
And I know you can't all be YouTubers and do what I do,
being entertaining and good looking and such.
Some people just aren't built that way.
They're more shy and they prefer to be behind the scenes or at least
a little less in the spotlight than others.
So what can you do if you're camera shy and you don't want to get in the YouTube industry?
Well, if you want to work in the shadows or your mom's basement,
you could always be a nerd coder or a miner.
And, of course, I'm just making a joke.
Being a programmer is obviously very profitable.
In fact, last year, LinkedIn found that blockchain was the No. 1 most demanded skill for employers
hiring in the US, UK, France, Germany and Australia
according to CNBC.
In 2021, blockchain seems to still be the dominant skill wanted by employers
and the steam engine of this new industrial revolution.
It doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
With tech giants like Facebook, Amazon, IBM and Microsoft working on developing blockchain services,
this industry is booming.
But crypto offers several job opportunities that isn't just programming smart contracts
and getting in front of the camera discussing cryptocurrencies.
You could decide to lead a project or launch a coin, putting together a team of like-minded individuals
that want to complete a project goal.
But maybe you don't have experience in leading a company or projects in your past,
and you don't want to risk trying to build something.
'Cause you could fail.
Or maybe you just can't think of an idea for blockchain that isn't already oversaturated in the space.
Whatever it may be,
there are even more alternatives.
So don't fret.
But first, before we get to those,
word from our sponsor which we believe will surely help you in your journey towards learning a trade---
Skillshare.
Skillshare is a library of information
and features creators teaching various classes on a plethora of topics.
Although it's not blockchain specific,
we are sure there are classes here that can help you advance in your career path in blockchain.
Skillshare allows users to learn a virtual cornucopia of topics.
From web design, illustration and graphic design to photography, animation, film and video,
or less technical subjects like creative writing, traditional art, cooking, making music,
music production and marketing,
you can learn it all for less than $10 a month.
I know I'm looking at the Photoshop Essentials class because it doesn't matter what you do,
learning how to make graphics with Photoshop is a must.
Sign up for Skillshare at bitboycrypto.com/deals
and by visiting the link in the video description down below.
Skillshare is creativity with purpose.
And I've got one more thing to mention too.
Skillshare has been gracious enough to offer the BitSquad a free trial of Skillshare Premium
for the first 1000 people to use the link down below in my description.
That's the first 1000 people, so make sure to hurry fast
because definitely more than 1000 people have probably already watched this video.
With Skillshare,
I'm confident that you can learn a skill that you can then apply to your career in blockchain.
So, what else can you do inside blockchain as a career?
If you're super smart,
you can always become a lead researcher,
like my researcher The Cat.
You can leverage networking for connecting projects and become a middleman of sorts
to help advance the overall blockchain industry.
But all joking aside,
the point here is to leverage your talents.
If you're a super connector and know a lot of people
or just have a knack for communication and sales,
leverage those skills you have to push yourself further into this industry.
It's the most promising in the world.
So what can you do in blockchain that doesn't require super smarts or coding experience?
Ask yourself what skill sets you currently know
and how that can be applied to your journey into blockchain.
If you're good at research,
you could submit reports on coins you find to YouTubers and hope to get noticed.
You could work for a centralized exchange, work in a project Telegram as an admin,
one of the easiest ways to get involved.
You can work in the customer support desk of a project,
run social media accounts,
create promotional videos and images.
These are just some examples but should give you enough to get you started.
So, how do you find jobs in the cryptocurrency or the blockchain space?
You can find job opportunities in blockchain by attending events,
when we can finally do that again,
and as boring as it sounds,
by using typical job searching websites like Indeed, Upwork and Monster.
However, there are also more niche-focused crypto job websites
like pompcryptojobs.com
or crypto.jobs
and lastly,
cryptojoblist.com
While the typical job websites mostly focus on programming,
the crypto-focused job sites have all sorts of available options for would-be job seekers.
But always remember, networking in general is the best way to get anywhere in any industry.
Making friends and connections can literally make or break your career.
By going to meetups or joining chat rooms to make friends around your desired occupation,
you learn from those around you.
What's more, who knows?
Someone you meet could offer you your dream job.
No matter what you do in this industry,
it's going to be like any other occupation.
You have to work hard to achieve your goals.
Hard work and dedication breeds success.
So whatever your career goal is in blockchain,
you're going to have to put in the hours to get there.
No one masters a craft overnight.
It takes roughly 10,000 hours to become an expert in something.
That means a lot of self-sacrifice too.
I'll tell you from personal experience,
when I worked to build this channel for two years,
without much growth,
the nights were hard.
The early mornings from staying up all night were rougher.
Although not as bad as the Bybit sweats you get when you have a trade open overnight.
But you don't give up.
You keep trying and eventually you'll make a breakthrough and get your opportunity.
Time to shine.
If you're a writer,
start writing about the industry,
follow a specific project, get noticed by a community,
then write about another project,
and another and so forth to build up your following.
If you're a marketing professional and understand the ins and outs of marketing,
then start a blockchain marketing agency.
If you're good with social media engagement,
then offer to run social media accounts for projects.
If you're a creative person,
offer to do marketing materials for projects, YouTubers, or sell your artwork
as NFTs online and build a following.
You may think that you can't do something,
but I didn't ever think I would be a YouTuber discussing magical internet money.
You don't know until you try something.
You might find a new passion in life
that you wouldn't have found if you never gave it a go.
Rather than spending years in an academic institution to prepare for blockchain careers,
you can teach yourself everything you need to know or want to know
using the internet and Skillshare.
Drop us a comment and let us know what area you're going to try to learn more about on Skillshare.
For today, that's all I got.
Be blessed.
BitBoy out.
