In this short article, I will tell you about a series of professions that are in demand in the world of the Web3, the third generation of the World Wide Web. After reading this, you will understand that to become part of one of the fastest-growing fields in the world, you don't necessarily need extraordinary knowledge or skills. Of course, such positions do exist, but there is a focus here on more accessible ones. So, let's go through them one by one.

Creative

Every collection starts with an idea, and sometimes, when developers are at the forefront of a project, it can be challenging for them to visualize how the collection will look. This is where creatives come into play, individuals who brainstorm with the core team to form a complete concept. Typically, after this stage, the interaction with creatives ends, but it depends on the impression and involvement in the collection's development because art directors don't always participate in creating the actual artwork.

Artist

This is not a single profession but an entire category of professions. Artists can specialize in traits (elements applied to the main template), the core art of the entire collection, 1-of-1 (when each item in the collection is unique), social media and website banner artists, and several other branches. Sometimes, when the main or second artist leaves a project, they need a replacement. This is common when preparing for the second drop or creating a new collection for the creators of an existing project. To call yourself an artist in Web3, basic knowledge of tools like Paint (similar to GMers) is often enough, but skilled artists command higher pay.

UX/UI Designer

Web3 builders enhance their status with the presence of useful tools for trading, analytics, or streamlining processes. These products are typically wrapped in a website interface, but there are exceptions in the form of mobile apps for smartphones and tablets. To create such interfaces, you need a specialist who understands user psychology, can design user behavior scenarios on a website or app, and translate it into design.

Discord Manager

This is another crucial category of professions. It starts with someone creating a server. You don't need any skills or knowledge to do this; the instructions are pretty straightforward. However, setting up, designing, subdividing into categories, and creating channels within them is where the real work comes in. This category also includes collaboration managers, community managers, raid managers, and other roles tailored to individual project needs.

Developers

This is the largest and most in-demand category of professions. If you think everything that can be done has already been done, you're greatly mistaken. The world of programming is limitless, except for imagination. While there may be programmers who are limited in their thinking, there are those with boundless creativity and innovation.

Primary to any project, in terms of development, is the process of minting, or in other words, the initial sale. For this, you need a specialist. Currently, there's a period when minting on their own websites is less trusted than minting on launchpads. However, the evolution, transformation, and deviation of a project often occur through its own website. For this profession, basic knowledge of programming languages like Python and Node.js is required. If you don't know these languages, creating your first mint button by following YouTube tutorials will help you understand the process.

A dedicated specialist is also needed after minting, as there may be a need to change fees, add traits, or conduct a reveal. This is where metadevs come in, whose work is focused on managing the meta folder of a project.

I am providing an overview without diving into front-end and back-end nuances; those who know will understand these differences.

Alpha Hunter

People like me hunt for insights, engage within communities, analyze data, and make predictions about the future movement of floor prices in collections. While it's one thing to have a mirror of a popular alpha collector on your server, having one on your team is entirely different. The success of signals from an "alpha hunter" can affect their future activity on other servers and the formation of their own community.

Marketing

This category includes many specialists, but for NFTs, I highlight three main roles: Social Media Managers (SMM), Project Agents, and Marketers.

Starting with the marketer, they develop strategies for project development and promotion. They suggest and implement partnership ideas, add or remove aspects of the collection or its ecosystem, create a roadmap for the project, and make it appealing.

A project agent is a profession for those who feel at home on Twitter. They promote the project's account on this social platform using giveaways, building partnerships with influencers, media personalities, and prominent accounts.
