HOW TO BECOME AN NFT MODERATOR

If you want to be part of a successful NFT Collection, being a Project Moderator is a greatway to do it. I'm sure you've seen the work that Moderators do in other NFT Projects.

Moderators help grow the community, chat with members, keep the discordactive, work from home and get paid for doing that job.

Ifyou also want to be a Moderator and work in NFTs keep reading, we are going to explain what exactly is a Moderator, what are the functions and 7+1 steps to follow to become a Moderator.

WHAT IS AN NFT MODERATOR

A moderator in NFT Projects is in charge of chatting, answering questions and supporttickets, creating dynamics and activities, and keeping the community active.

In short, its main function is to get the community active daily to create hype and make everything go smoothly within the community.

There are usually several moderators, who adapt to the activity and the different timezones in the community.

WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF A MODERATOR?

HOW MUCH DOES A MODERATOR CHARGE

If we talk about how much a Moderator charges, we can establish a range of 30$-200$ per week. It should be noted that it is not a full-time job, moreover, moderators often work on several NFT collections at the same time, even working in otherroles such as Collab Manager or Apha Hunter.

Of course, there is not a set salary that all Moderators have as in any other position. We can find Moderators who work for free and others who will demand hundreds of dollars a week, depending on their experience and ability to perform as NFT moderators.

Normally it is complicated to ensure results, what we can promise is time working. That is why it is common to hire based on previous successes in other projects, otherwise, it is common to have a lot of moderator rotation if the project does not have a reliable moderator.

HOW TO BECOME AN NFT MODERATOR IN 7+1 STEPS

First, you have to be clear that it is not going to be easy to get your first jobs and it is not going to be easy to earn as much as you deserve. You must be clear that starting to work as a moderator means starting a process in which you must grow until you positionate yourself within the sector.

1. CHOOSE YOUR blockchain TO BE A MODERATOR

To growas aModerator and work as a professional to generate moneyyou will need:

• Many contacts
• Extensive market knowledge
• Fluency to generate community
• Knowledge of the project you are working on
• Knowledge of your community management

For these reasons, we recommend you focus on a single blockchain, the one you know the most or the one you have more NFT, especially in your beginnings, until you have a great trajectory. The most common and relevant ones are Ethereum, Polygon, Bitcoin and Solana.

The reason is that they are the networks with more volume, more users and more demand of NFT moderators for collections. That of course, also meansmorecompetition.

2. LEARNING AND NETWORKING

After making your blockchain choiceyour adventure begins. When you start, it is indispensable that you understandhowtheNFTsmarketworks in your blockchain in every way; the most known and trendy collections, OG collections, collections that are hitting it big, what makes these collections, which DAOsare most influential, which themes are trending, which influencers have the most power, etc.

To go deeper into these topics, you should move around the collection servers, chat, meetpeople and makecontacts. By doing this you will learn, interact with people. All this will be key to your future.

Also, if you have enough capital to invest in NFT collections, it is recommended that you do so (always with money you are willing to lose). If money is involved, you will put an extra effort to learn, taking it much more seriously. It will also give you experience and the abilitytoanalyze the market.

3. FIRST EXPERIENCES AS MODERATOR

It's time to get our first experience and stand out to get our first jobs.

We must be realistic, it is practicallyimpossible to be hired without previous experience, much less if it is not someone who knows us. To get this first experience, wehave tomake an effort.

What we will do will be to enter into small and recently created projects. In them, we must be active, interact and generate movement within the community, getting the owners to notice us.

When we have gained their trust we must take action and talk. Talk to the owner and propose to be a FREE moderator (it is important that at the beginning, it is for free to be able to demonstrate your first experience, we will scale what you charge progressively).

It is important that you do not chase people asking them to hire you. You generate rejection and it is not attractive, we must show a formal image, who knows if in the future they may remember us and want to hire us.

4. ACCEPT REJECTION AS A MODERATOR

We cannot move forward as moderators if we are not clear about this: we are going to be rejected constantly, it is going to be part of our day so we have to accept it and adapt to it.

We should take being a moderator as a challenge, trying to improve and obtain better results, it will be much easier.

5. GET CONTACTS

As we said before, our first unpaid experiences are key: they will open many doors for us. In addition, we should focus on meeting people and most importantly, creating contacts with staff from other projects.

Keep in mind that in many cases, the people who interact in the chat or opentickets looking for collabs are people who work in other NFT collections, so being friendly and buildingrelationships with them can opendoors and get youjobs in the future.

6. CREATE YOUR MODERATOR PORTFOLIO

It is important that we have experience, but if we do not show it to the world, it is useless. To collect all our work, we must create our portfolio of jobs done, much better if we can collect information and results we have achieved.

It is common to use platforms such as Galaxie.co and similar.

Detail all the information, be original, show professionalism and capacity for growth. You must also be present in social networks, especially Twitter. It will be an extra showcase of your work, a way to reach new contacts and a way for more people to find us interested in hiring.

7. STRIVING TO BE THE BEST MODERATOR

Being a moderator is very complicated when you are not recognized. You will be underpaid, and you will have to put in a lot of hours to make it worthwhile and stand out.

It is key that you are aware of your situation in order to do your best to be the best. You have to shine through good work, you have to be recommended, you have to be memorable, unique and different with respect to any other moderator.

If you innovate and are disruptive with difference to other moderators , you willimprove your situation and get permanent jobs with better salaries in different NFT projects. You will be able to stay with the ones you feel most comfortable with and more people will be interestedinhiring you.

7+1. DIFFERENTIATE YOURSELF FROM OTHER MODERATORS

This step is related to what we mentioned before. It is only for the daring, for those who want to reach the top and not be just one more.

Innovate, differentiate yourself from the rest, do unique things, get to set trends as a moderator. By doing this, you won't ask anyone to hire you, they will ask you to work with them.

You will have the know-how and offer the performance guarantees that all top project owners are looking for.

One example we like and recommend is Cloudz. Cloudz is a collab manager who creates valuable content on Youtube and Twitter, thus getting to know them and their potential customers generates the trust they need to want to hire him.

HOW TO FIND PROJECTS TO WORK AS A MODERATOR

Now that we have talked about the key steps of becoming a moderator, it's time to talk about how to find the projects we are going to work on, those projects that are in the early stages and may need our work to grow.

I show you 3 methods you can use to find them and contact them. Remember that the bestwaytocontact them is through Discord directly. If we can't, we have to try DM from Twitter, but it's more complicated because of the spam.

TWITTER HASHTAGS

It is common for startup projects to make their posts look for interactions with hashtags such as #NFT, #Solana, #Ethereum, #Polygon, #Bitcoin, etc.

If you search daily on these hashtags, you will find many projects in which to offer your work as a moderator.

REFERRED BY ANOTHER TEAM MEMBER

In the step-by-step, we have put so much emphasis on contacts and networking because of this.

An NFT collection will be in need of staff to help build the community constantly, therefore, in most cases, new team members comebyrecommendation of those who are excelling within the team.

If you have enough contacts, take care of them and create a good relationship, they will generate work for you.

TWITTER INFLUENCERS

Projects to start getting their first users usually do promotions with crypto influencers. It is important that you follow them and keep an eye on the newly launched NFT collections they promote to offer yourself as a team member.

COLLABS BETWEEN NFT COLLECTIONS

We can find many projects that are starting to grow through collaborations. That is to say, if we belong to several communities, we will see that they make collaborations and in many cases, they will be collections that are starting to grow and that will need more and more moderators, collabs managers, etc.

Don't miss out onthismedium and contact the ones you see a good option, you never know where you can find your next job!

HOW TO BECOME AN NFT MODERATOR: CONCLUSION
