Howdy crypto family,

I will be using Steemit to follow up on my daily videos. I'm not getting nearly as many viewers as I'd like, and therefore this could be a great support channel, to spread the word. The content I've been putting out hasn't been the best but I can assure you I'm working hard to make it better for all of you. For now, I'm only focusing on adding value. At a later stare, I'll also be working on my shooting and editing skills.

2. Reach out to low market cap. projects

Blockchain projects are like start-ups, there's always something that needs to be done. The vast majority of projects are understaffed, therefore, you might come in handy if you have something to offer. Be proactive and start reaching out to projects offering help. Go to coinmarketcap and filter the projects of your liking within the 5-50 mil. mkt. cap. and send them an email, connect with the founders on LinkedIn and other social media channels and offer a hand.

3. Ask for help or a referral

Even though you might be new to the industry, you definitely know someone. Don't be shy and ask for a referral.

Otherwise, you can hit up people who've been around for a while on Twitter and send them a direct message asking for help. I'm sure they will gladly help you, as we all had to start somewhere.

Conclusion

Remember, social media and proactivity goes a long way when looking for a job. You'll get one if you put out a lot of effort and show you really want to add value and contribute.

Good job hunting, crypto family.
