Web3 & Freelancing: Is There Real Opportunity for Us Yet?

Hey everyone,

With all the talk about Web3, NFTs, and DAOs, it’s hard to tell what’s real hype and what’s a real career opportunity. Especially for freelancers here in Africa—where we’re often first adopters but also face unique barriers like regulation and connectivity.

I’m genuinely curious: Have you found real, billable work in the Web3 space yet?

Maybe you’ve:

• Designed NFT art or a dApp interface?

• Written content or documentation for a DAO or crypto project?

• Done community management for a Web3 brand?

• Or even coded smart contracts or built blockchain integrations?

If yes:

• What kind of project was it?

• How did you find the client or opportunity?

• Was payment in crypto or fiat? How was the experience?

If not, what’s holding you back?

• Is it the learning curve?

• Concern about scams/volatility?

• Just not seeing relevant job posts?

Let’s separate the signal from the noise together. Share your experience, skepticism, or questions below.
