Writing about crypto paid me $60K this year I got nearly 37 airdrops throughout 2025 while building my personal brand. Some hit, some didn't, but the total blew past my expectations. Most of this came from writing about these projects early and I had farmed very few projects. And it's not like I shilled them. I only wrote 5+ posts on 12 projects here, the rest had less than 4 posts each. Here's what one main wallet pulled in👇 - Mira $15,000 (could've been $20K if my internet was fast) - Falcon $8,470 - Kaito $7,500 - DeFiApp $7,050 - Lombard $2,969 - Caldera $1,870 - Openledger $1,700 - PI Network $1,565 - Hana $1,500 - Yala $1,400 - Allora $1,392 - Infinit $1,250 - Story $1,088 - Newton $750 - Particle $700 - Satlayer $700 - Beamable $530 - Bybit $460 - Spark $420 - Initia $300 - Maplestory $300 - Succinct $300 - Milkyway $240 - Humanity $230 - VVV $200 - Virtuals $200 - Nillion $160 - Huma $150 - Boops $125 - Fragmetric $100 - Ronin $90 - WalletConnect $88 - Limitless $70 - Momentum $40 Total sits just under $60K with 1.5 months still left in the year. Writing about opportunities early while participating in them compounds faster than people think. The funniest part is the projects I farmed with dedication only gave me around $3,000 total. Not every drop hit, but showing up consistently across multiple projects adds up way more than grinding one or two hard. Part 2 will be coming at year end!
