Unironically need someone to unpack what it means to "make money" on Farcaster. There is a cynical, extractive "make money" conditioned by crypto. Spam, sybil, squat, and farm as much as you can with minimum effort. Demand free money for doing nothing but being early. If you don't get it fast enough, scrap anything that's not bolted down and sell it for parts. Hard to blame anyone who does this: it's just part of our culture! But it won't work here, and these users seethe, cope, and churn. There is an earnest, productive "make money" mostly enabled by the social graph. Warpcast rewards, Cura channel tokens, Rounds, Moxie, Ham, Degen, Clankers, Hypersub, Pods, Zora, Rodeo, frames, games, commerce, apps, creating something of your own. You "make money" by doing things: posting, memeing, creating, curating, selling, building, playing, trying, exchanging. The list is long and unlike anywhere else. It's so foreign it is often "cringe". And there is a lot in between these modes. But someone should write it down.

Thought about this again. I think Farcaster is a digital tech scene/network state. Itโ€™s more of a place and a scene than a verb. HT @adrienne for her prescient Scenius talk at farcon last year! If you canโ€™t make it to SV, come to FC to make money with friends.

Yeah I donโ€™t think the quoted cast would resonate with my Twitter audience or feel authentic to me, but I do think a pithy version of what you casted here would.

there is a fearless good cringe that exists at the edges of new, early things. that's the kind of cringe that emboldens me to post so poorly and yet so frequently. I owe it all to these people.

This space is full of hustlers. Both good and bad. There are some gems coining out of this regardless of the โ€˜getting tired of the l2 vibesโ€™ crowd.

Yeah this is a distinction you don't see people make, and perception is the former to a lot of people, and plenty of reason to write off FC in 2 secs.

My philosophy for making money is, "whenever I add value to someone's life, I can expect 1% of that value back in my pocket". The provided value can be; * making someone laugh * encouraging someone through tough times * supporting someone for their actions * correcting someone's faulty behaviour * help someone make right decisions ... and many more like this. Farcaster lets me provide value and get value in return. So, far the bidirectional trade has worked for me, and I hope to continue this journey.

I did, but I didnโ€™t get paid for it. I created a channel, built frames, and answered countless DMs - all for new users to learn how to use Farcaster and earn money on here. But there was no funding. /base-builds paid me a whole $7 for the work I did last year. Iโ€™m at a net loss for 2024. I wonโ€™t be onboarding anyone else. Itโ€™s a waste of time.

I like it better than the X version where "make money" = engagement by any means necessary. Tired of rage bait posts.

Now, if only someone could document how to win friends and influence people, we'd be making money in no time.
