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. 21 replies

Priorities for my personal site:
1. I can write and publish directly from Obsidian
2. I can preview the site offline
3. I can switch hosts easily, all the data is in my control
For a personal site I find that CMSes like Wordpress, Squarespace, and Webflow, add too much complexity and liability, while being less customizable. Friction has to be super low, otherwise I won't update it.
Instead learn to use a static site generator. There are many options: Jekyll, Hugo, Quartz, Astro, Eleventy, etc. It's become simple to build and deploy them. Once you have it set up, everything else is a breeze.
Some more detail on how I set up my website are at the bottom of this post: https://stephango.com/vault 2 replies
