If you're not working, it can be easy to lose momentum. If nothing else, check-in and being held accountable for actions and follow-ups is important. So is the sense of having work to do. Even without my bag of uncommon hacks, there is value in this alone.
If you're struggling to find work, then here is a signal. A sign you've been waiting for. A time to take action. An invitation.
Your internet is a dark forest. Your job search is little more than a clearing in the forest. Jobs, strange jobs, come forth from the forest into the clearing of thy illuminated screen, and then go back. You must have the courage to seek them out, but you don’t have to go it alone.
I am a first-class community builder. I am the diamond in the rough. I am the eye of the storm. However, I am mortal. Circumstances can conspire to create a challenge even for me.
Last week, I began a job search. I pulled out my bag of uncommon hacks. I scheduled six interviews in seven days. This could be you. But I’m not offering you top-down answers. You’ll have to work for it.
Today, I am forming a band of eight. And, I am going to war, and taking the eight with me. We're taking souls. We’re winning hearts and minds. We’re all getting hired!
You can do it. Join the eight. An exclusive work-group. It's not for everyone. It’s not for the others. It’s for you buddy. We're going to hack our way through the forest to your next job.
More money. Less time. Don’t think it’s possible... Madness? Madness? This is smarter.
Get it. We leave no person behind! It’s not about the money. It’s about sending a message.
I have been building and managing communities for eight years, three in Blockchain for the Cardano Foundation and Komodo Platform. Lots of wins. Especially interested in privacy-preserving tech. My background is in digital marketing. I'm good at initiation, delivery, and I'm adaptable.
Let's talk about winning.
- Network Operator Course. From the decision to deliver, it took five weeks to deliver a course. We got 2.6K sign-ups and a 40% completion rate.
- Third-Party App Program. I conceptualized and delivered a third-party app program which is now the largest channel in terms of clicks for that project (around 3K to 4K a month). In contrast, the impact of the annual virtual summit got about 10K. So it's x4 for $0 budget.
- Viral Campaign. I ran an infographic contest that generated some great visuals and grew an email list by 20% (from 10K to 12K).
What have I learned? My meta approach explores value chains and brokers relationships. Top-down models and hierarchy can be virtuous. However, they also limit decision making and the number of actions that can be taken. If you apply the same top-down models in your organization across a community, it will inherit these limitations. You will limit content and engagement.
What does a good community look like? A good community is one in which its members are citizens, and the culture rewards taking ownership.
