When people hear about Blockchain Technology, they Immediately think it to be difficult to understand and process, because many such stereotypes have been attached to it up till now - A few being; Technical, Developers, Crypto Enthusiast, Hard to Grasp, Complex Fields and so on.


The Great News is, That is Very Far from the Case!, because Blockchain has evolved(and still is) into a term that encompasses a lot of smaller fields: From NFTs & Defi, to Gaming & Metaverses, which significantly abstracts the complexity of Blockchain. Take just a moment to process that!.

Therefore, It would be a huge shame if all these exciting fields were reserved just for folks fitting the above stereotypes. And as expected, the Blockchain Space is easier than ever for Anyone looking to get Onboarded and be Successful in it!.


Before I move any further, to show you WHY Blockchain has Evolved into a Space that Anyone can fit in? I will be briefly Dissecting the three biggest Blockchain Ecosystem today; DEFI, NFTs & Metaverse.

DEFI:

Defi is a Blockchain Space Dedicated to Decentralized Finance and the Applications Powering them. Essentially, the main word to keep in mind here is 'Decentralized Finance'(because it's more explicit), over DEFI (being the short form) - and what this means, is a Finance System/Structure in which there isn’t a Centralized body controlling the actions, which in this case, Blockchain Powers the Code(aka Smart Contracts) that Controls all actions under the hood [Actions such as: Money Transfer, Exchanges, Swaps, Credited Accts, Debited Accts, etc).

Therefore, The world of Defi present many opportunities to people, on Blockchain; Like Bankers, Developers, Finance Analysts, Investors, Customer Support, and so many other career paths.

NFTs:

The Word NFTs gained massive Popularity in the Early days of 2021, and this led to an higher adoption of Blockchain by more mainstream users outside the Space. In fact, it's fair to say that the upsurge NFTs caused is unlike any seen in the Blockchain Space. Today, NFTs and their Individual Communities have attained Ridiculous yet Impressive numbers in User adoption and Profits.

We have also at the stage where we’re starting to see more Creative and Innovative Utilities being built with and around NFTs, contrary to it’s initial features when it was first introduced to Blockchain. But what exactly are NFTs??;


Very Simply, The NFTs Space is utilizing Blockchain Tech to Create Unique Digital Items (which can be in the form of Music, Videos, Gif, Images, Artworks, etc) that can be traded, and transferred across Wallets, Marketplaces and Blockchains. This is a most Basic Explanation, Yet it more than suffices.

Now, it isn’t safe to go ahead and think NFTs are basically Generalized Knowledge, Because you NEED Specialized Blockchain Techniques, Codes, and Algorithm to Create them Afterall. But what remains Generalized Knowledge are NFTs Concepts, Ideas, Creative Solutions, NFTs Utility on Blockchain.

So, you can see that the NFTs field is Open to Artists, Musicians, Product Designers, Digital Creators, Developers and Many more that I'm sure you can think of. Just Splendid!.

Metaverses:

We finally arrive at the icing on the top. Can you guess this to be my favorite of them all? Of Course it is! (a) Because I'm a Gamer (b) Because I'm a Dreamer. But, let's leave that aside for now, the focus is more on YOU!. So What Exactly are Metaverses??


Being your honest guide here, I'm just gonna tell you - No one knows yet!, Let's rephrase that - The Intuitive Meaning of Metaverse haven't been Actualized YET, Facebook(now META) is Planning to Create one SOON though. Currently, for peace of Mind Amidst Developers and Players in the Blockchain Gaming and NFTs Space we say; Metaverses are Digital Worlds where Players can Transact, Interact and Earn, built using Blockchain Technology to allow for Decentralization, Interoperable and Real-World Values on Game Items.


Now Metaverse?, Needless to say, there are countless Creative Jobs that Metaverses on Blockchain Introduces. But, it's realistic to say that All Defi and NFTs Jobs are required when Building a Metaverse, Because Show me a Metaverse without NFTs, and One without Basic Decentralized Finance.?




Congratulations with graduating from the above section, take it from me that you now have a Mid-Level Understanding of the Three Most Populated Spaces in Blockchain Today, Cryptocurrencies being the Fourth Space.


A Short Illustration about my Personal Experience AND to Set your Mind at Ease:

I Started my Blockchain Adventure Mid Last Year around August 2021, and I found it to be Extremely Overwhelming. Unfortunately, Doubly so because I joined at a time when NFTs was Sky High in the Media and Blockchain Gaming were Making Millionaires of Peasants. I went Astray ( my dreamer personality did not help here), as I juggled through Countless Spaces, Flipping Free NFTs, Blockchain Gaming, Defi Blogging, Liquidity Staking, High APR Protocols, My One Goal? Striving to attain Millionaire Status before I was 20 (Nah, Not Millionaire in Dollars xD). Looking in Hindsight, I've come to realize that I was more excited because of what I thought Blockchain to be than what it actually was, so I made it x2 Difficult for myself to master Blockchain with my frenzy of actions BUT Thankfully, Not for so Long as I was constantly trying to be as conscious as possible.

Lesson to be Learned?:

When we think a Field Difficult to master ( In this Case, Blockchain), We immediately Focus on Noises and End up not Penetrating Deeply Which is usually our Initial Goal. Simply, More Haste, and Less Speed. It ends up difficult, which I believe is how the stereotype on blockchain amounts. Because Surprisingly, Blockchain ISN'T Difficult, By Jings, Miles less difficult than Physics, Golf, and Pulling a Wheelie IMO, A couple of things need to be learned (where is that ANY Different?), and once you can accept that, you're ready for some Action!.

Let's kick of the Next Section, with this Definition of what Blockchain means to me;

BLOCKCHAIN:

Blockchain with it's many fields, has evolved into an Ecosystem, where anyone can Learn, Create, and Earn a Living Doing so. It provides many Creative "Jobs", never-seen-before, that gives absolute independence to people from all Places around the World, significantly minimizing Digital Gaps and Many other Obstacles Faced by people.


NOW, Are You Ready To Get A Job On Blockchain?


Types of Blockchain Jobs

1. Official Blockchain Jobs:

As you can guess, these are Jobs in a Fairly to Largely official Setting. The Blockchain Space set out to do many things differently and one of them concerns Employment. So regardless of there being ‘Official Jobs’, Never expect them to be like the Jobs you have heard or seen previously in regular Career Industries. For Starters, Most Official Blockchain Jobs Do Not require Academic Certificates from Acclaimed Universities AND Many are available as Remote Based options, aside those in which human Interaction is a requirement.

Official Blockchain Jobs are usually posted directly on a Company's Website, or outsourced to Online Job Board Company’s, A good example is Cryptocurrency Jobs, which we delve into later. The requirements for Official Jobs on Blockchains are CVs, Portfolio Showcase, and Official Cover Letter Statements.


There are Countless Official Blockchain Jobs with Regular Daily Postings and they include the following kinds of Jobs: Metaverse Product Designer, Lead Content Creator, Technical Writer, 3d Animator, Senior Blockchain Developer, Lead Talent Recruiter, Among many I've seen. Official Jobs are Posted by Some of the Biggest Blockchain Company's today, so it would be really cool if you Got a Job on Blockchain Officially.

Features Associated with Official Blockchain Jobs

  • You are required to be an expert in your field
  • You must have a Track Record of Excellence/ Achievements in your Field
  • Official Blockchain Jobs isn't advised for Newbies to Crypto and Blockchain
  • Official Blockchain Jobs can be Tackled(by Newbies to Blockchain) in Positions that Do not Require Specialized Knowledge of Blockchain
  • On Average, 60% of Official Jobs are Fully Remote Based.


2. Unofficial Blockchain Jobs

Unofficial Blockchain Jobs are like their name suggests, Largely Unofficial. These are jobs that could be obtained in seriously (even confusing) Unofficial situations going from Twitter Interactions, Blockchain Community Engagements, Passion Project/Works etc. Unofficial Jobs reflect the True Nature of the Blockchain Ecosystem and are usually gotten in Instinctive situations, For Example; Doing what you Love and receiving recommendations on the process. There are Countless types of Unofficial Jobs on Blockchain (“If they can be Called Jobs, But you Earn, So that Suffices”). A few examples are; Blockchain Project Partnerships, Content Creation(YouTube, Medium, Twitch), Discord Community Jobs, Moderators, Commissioning Research and so much more!

Features Associated with Unofficial Blockchain Jobs

  • You absolutely don't need to be an Expert in your Field
  • Previous Engagement in your Field is usually Required, to build trust and receive recommendations.
  • Unofficial Jobs is a great Quick-Starter for Newbies to Crypto
  • Unofficial Jobs gives you an Extra Degree of Freedom and Independence
  • On Average, 80% of Unofficial Jobs are Remote Based from my experience, with regular interactions with "The Team"

3. Self Employed Blockchain Jobs

Self Employed Jobs are perhaps the One true Joy of Being a User and Player on Blockchain. And Like I summarized in the Blockchain Definition above, I think this is Among the Greatest Benefit Blockchain provides today; The Ability to Earn a Living Doing what you want.

So Regardless of what makes you tick AND what your skillset might be, believe me when I say that You can Elevate your Income and Status by Self Employment in Several Blockchain Fields, Your Imagination is your only Limits.

Examples of some Self Employment fields includes: Blockchain Gaming, Content Creators, Content Streamers, Influencers, Artists, Fashion Designers, and much more!.

Features of Self Employment on Blockchain

  • You can Engage in Self Employment on Blockchain with Beginner, Mid, or Expert Level Skillset.
  • You work solely on Your own Schedule and Can be your own Boss.
  • You have the Chance to Explore Amongst several Interests, You aren't required to commit to One Project.
  • You must Learn Tools and Platforms for Operating on Blockchain By Yourself, No Special Onboarding.
  • Majority of Blockchain Users Fall into this Category, so there are Like Minded Groups to Connect with on Social Media (Like Twitter).


Next, Let’s Delve Deeply into How you can Navigate through these Routes, their requirements, and what the stakes look like, Gathered from my Personal Experiences and Activities;



How to Get a Job on Blockchain

Below, I would give Detailed Descriptions of The Most Effective Routes that you can Follow on your Quest. I would also Let you Know Directly What Category each Route Falls into (i.e, Official, Unofficial, Self Employed).

NOTE: That these are not Hard-Core Guides, so feel free to Experiment Along the way (For Instance, “An Officially Employed Blockchain User can also Have Self Employed Works that He/She Does in their Creative Hours“).


1. Cryptocurrency Jobs[OFFICIAL]

Cryptocurrency Jobs is a Special Online Job Board that shares Remote and Location Based Jobs Posted by Blockchain Companies, with a Large Curation of Blockchain Jobs released on a Weekly Basis. This Platform is about the best there is when searching for Official Blockchain Jobs with minimum Efforts.

Their Platform supplies you with features such as Personalized Filters to better Group the Kind of Jobs you are looking for And by Subscribing to their Newsletter, you get a Weekly Report to your Email on the Latest Blockchain Jobs Posted.

On Cryptocurrency Jobs, You can Find ALL Sorts of Jobs (For Developers, Content Creators, Artists, Product Design, Team Management, etc).


The Application Process on Cryptocurrency Jobs is fairly Similar to Regular Jobs Applications that we are Accustomed to. Usually, you have to Fill in your Name, Links to Previous Work, Upload your CV AND In some Cases, Upload a Cover Letter. Your Cover Letter can be Written out in a PDF Or Docx File And can be Uploaded it Directly in the Text Fields provided. Sometimes, Jobs would Ask for your Social Media Profile, it’s a Faster and Streamlined way to keep up with your Online Activities, but I’m in Doubt of Any Job Making Decisions by Social Stats Alone.


Finally, Do NOT Expect any type of Shortcuts with Official Jobs. All that I'm Sharing with you are the Steps and Guidelines of Applications AND what you can expect, What Eventually lands You a Job on Blockchain Is the Value That you Bring to the Table.


Study the Features Above and Look to See If you Like what this Route is Offering; There are more Routes to Come, So Don’t Stress!


2. Crypto Jobs[Official]

CryptoJobs is an Online Job Board just like Cryptocurrency Jobs. They Share a Variety of Blockchain Jobs and Offers similar Features to Cryptocurrency Jobs, BUT what stands Different among them, is that: Crypto Jobs Offers An Intuitive Style and Streamlined Application Process for Users.


This can be accessed by First Creating a Profile on Crypto Jobs, and Uploading you Personal Details (Like Name, DOB, Address, CV, Education), Henceforth, these Information would Automatically be Uploaded to the Jobs you are Applying for, So You can spend more time on the Important Prompts in the Application. Some Other Features that Crypto Jobs provides are Accessing the Total Number of Applicants to a Job AND User Profile Availability to Prospective Employers.


3. Blockchain Gaming[SELF-EMPLOYED]

This is a Topic that I’m happy to give a Summary about because it’s a Space I have high Interest AND Engage Constantly In.

Blockchain Gaming is perhaps One of the Best Methods of Self Employment on Blockchain for People who Don't want A Skill Focused Job AND want to Have Fun while Earning. It can also be the Perfect Engagement for People with a Passionate Subject OUTSIDE of Blockchain.


Gaming is a Super Fun Activity that Everyone should engage in Every now and then; Being Paid to Play Games (As with Blockchain Gaming), would Incentivize people to Play More, and Earn More!.


The Blockchain Gaming Space has been around for More Than 3 Years now, Only Gaining Traction and Media Attention Last Year in 2021, with the most Popular Play2Earn Game, Axie Infinity, getting Massive Media Coverage(from Bloomberg, New York Times, to even CNN TV) and Redefining the Future of Blockchain Gaming. Now in 2022, The Number of Blockchain Games that have Spurred on with Play2Earn Economies are Countless. With the Integration of NFTs Technology and Novel Blockchain Protocols, Developers have been Building really Cool Games on Blockchain and many Unbelievably Innovative Games are in Development(From Open-World RPG, to MMORPG, Battle Arena Games), Which were Previously thought Impossible to Exist on Blockchain.


How Can You Start?

Onboarding Players to Blockchain Gaming Ecosystems is the First and Most Crucial Step, SO I came up with an Effective Summary of the Process Involved to Kickstart your Adventure:


  • The First Step to Note, You Will Want To Cash Out Your Earnings, SO You Need A Crypto Exchange That Links Your Bank. Binance is the Easiest and Most Trusted Exchange. Other Exchanges Like, Kraken, Huobi, Gate.io exists but stick with Binance If it's possible for you.

    For this, You Need A Verified Account on Binance to trade your Earnings (Which are usually in Cryptocurrencies), You Need to also Understand the Limits on Trade Transactions (this means, the Minimum and Maximum Crypto that u can Trade), Binance Trading Rules will help figure this out.

    Finally, You Need to Understand which Blockchain Network is Approved for Transfers to Binance and which Isn’t. There are Many Guides to Guide you through All these process(A Simple Google Search will Suffice), BUT the Definitive Advice is Cross-Check Every Little Details as a Beginner.


  • The Second Step to Note, Every Blockchain Game Has their Own Special Cryptocurrency; They are Different, Have Different Prices, Are Traded Differently, on Different OR Similar Exchanges.

    So For Instance, Ethereum is a Blockchain, it's Special Token is ETHER, Binance is a Top Crypto Exchange, It's Special Coin is BNB. Similarly, Axie Infinity is a Blockchain Play2Earn Game, It's Special Token is AXS AND SPS, They are Used to Reward Players and Can be Traded for $USD on Binance. This goes the Same for Every Other Blockchain Games, Easy-Peasy.

    By Understanding the Special Token of Your Target Blockchain Game, You can Easily Check on Which Exchanges it is Accepted for Trading, and other details to Pave the Path for Your Future Earnings.


  • The Third Step to Note, You Can Earn from Blockchain Games in 2 General Ways; (a)Start Playing and Earning Immediately without any Barriers AND (b)Start Playing, Invest Funds THEN Start Earning. These Two Kinds of Earning Methods are Called Free2Play and Play2Earn respectively.

    Looking at these two Options, If You Can Invest some Funds, Going with the Play2Earn Route would Bring Returns Faster, AND If you Can't Invest, There are Many Cool Free2Play Games that You can Start off with.


  • The Fourth Step to Note, How Much Can You Really Earn? LOL, Because I've been Saying EARN Like it was Thousands of Dollars we're talking about.


    How Much Players can Earn From Blockchain Games are generally Based on their Economy Structures. Most Games have a Structure for Players to Keep Re-Investing Back into the Economy to Keep the Game Going Strong and Rewarding. A Blockchain Game Could Have a Constant and Steady Earning System(in 2 weeks, 1 month, 6 months span), But this Rarely Ever Happens Because We are in a Highly Volatile Space: Blockchain and Crypto Afterall. Therefore, So Many Events affects the Earnings of Every Player.


    For Instance; A Crypto Bear Market, Spike in Number of New Players, Positive or Negative Response from Social Media Followers, Partnerships and Collaborations etc, The Following Events will Affect Players Earnings in Almost Every Blockchain Game. For Example; Mid Last Year, In the Axie Infinity Blockchain Game, Players could Earn On Average $100 every 2 Weeks Which was Absolutely Satisfying for Many, But After the Game saw A Huge Spike in Users, there was a Steady Decline in Earnings for the Sole reason that Extra Players were Cashing out their Earnings. In such Situations, A More Sustainable Economic Structure is required to Keep things Stable which is what the Developers have been Building.


    And Finally To Round this up, I know from Experience that it takes A Fairly Large Amount of time to Figure out Blockchain Games by Yourself, So I'm just Gonna Link you up to the Best I know:

    1. Axie Origins: A Version 2 of Axie Infinity. Use my Getting started Guide to Learn about it HERE
    2. Prospectus: A Sustainable Wild West Mining Game. An In-game Tutorial Is Provided. Play it Really Slow!
    3. DefiLand: A Super Cool DEFI Inspired Farming Simulation. Use my Getting Started Guide AGAIN HERE


And that's It, Super Fun and Super Long!. If You’re Taking the Blockchain Gaming Route, you are Gonna Wanna ask Questions despite the Explicit Contents Above, so Feel Free to Ask me Anything.


4. Company Websites[OFFICIAL]

I Recently Discovered that some Blockchain Companies Don't Post their Available Openings On Online Job like CryptoJobs and Cryptocurrency Jobs Listed Above; Well, It's Possible That They want to Filter out Only Applicants Actually Interested in working With them.

I’ve found that It has it's own Advantage, In that You Can search Targeted Blockchain Companies Websites and Keep up with Regular Updates, Against a General Job Board where You Might miss Openings from Such Companies. This Route Of course requires that you have Knowledge of Blockchain Companies, What they do, and How to Apply your Skillsets, Taking on Random Companies would be too Cumbersome afterall.


Browsing for Job Openings on Company Websites is As Easy as Visiting their Careers Page and Following the Applications Form Steps. You also get to Enjoy a Wide Collection of Blockchain Company Websites Design, I Always Look Forward to it!.


5. Hive[SELF-EMPLOYED]

If you're New to Blockchain, HIVE is the Place for You!. This is a Most True Statement and it's not because that's where I also Started on Blockchain.


HIVE is a Social Micro Blogging Platform, and A Blockchain with Dapps(Decentralized Apps) Comprising Blockchain Games, DEX (Decentralized Exchanges), and NFTs Marketplace. Hive is a Special Blockchain, that Feels Almost Like NOT A Blockchain, because it Simplifies all the Difficult Aspects of Blockchain. The Most Obvious Reasons being Its Exciting Community of Bloggers that Share About their Daily Life Activities, Gaming Adventures, Investments Strategies and Everything In Between.


Hive is the Best Recommendation I could Give Anyone New to Blockchain, and Willing to Learn about it. It's Popular Community called Leo Finance is filled with Blockchain, Crypto, Finance, DEFI Gurus AND also Enthusiastic Newbies.


Earning on Hive Happens by Simply Writing/Blogging about Your Interests; There exists many Dedicated Communities with a Variety of Topics which Anyone can Join, Engage in and Earn. I will not Delve into the Details of the Earning Structure, the Hive Community has Countless Guides explaining this Process, If You Take this Route.


Two Main Ways to Start your HIVE Blockchain Adventure:

(1) Create a Splinterlands Account: Splinterlands is a Popular Blockchain Play2Earn Game built on Hive, It is a TCG (Trading Card Games), Popular Examples of this Genre of Games are HearthStone, Legends of RuneTerra.

By Creating a Splinterlands Account, You Automatically Create an Hive Account and Using this account, You can Access All Hive Features Like; Hive.Blog, Hive Dapps, Hive Games.


(2) Hive Account through Onboarding Apps: There are A Few Hive Onboarding Apps that make it Easy to Create an Hive account Freely and With no Cost. Ecency and HiveOnboard are among the Options presented to you. This Route is Similar to Number (1) and grants you Access to all Hive features Including Splinterlands.

Summary of Earning on Hive:

First, I would say that Many Guides on Hive would show You the Countless ways that are Available to Earn, And How much Income you can make. The Hive Community are Very Expressive. But a Few Tips to Start Blogging & Earning on Hive: You Can Share Short or Long form Blogs about Any interest of Yours, Like Daily Activities, Cooking Tips, Health Tips, Artworks, Blockchain Gaming Strategy, Regular Games News, Walkthroughs, Crypto Know-How and So On. Every Community has a Space to Upload your Blogs in, to Keep Hive.Blog Organized and Easy To Search for Contents. Payouts on Posts are Available Every Seven Days and gets Deposited to your Hive Account. Hive Blockchain has it's own Cryptocurrency called Well, HIVE, which can be Traded on Binance, and Other Crypto Exchanges.


6. NFTs & Blockchain Contests[Self Employed]

Okay, this Seems Like such a Bad Branding for A Job on Blockchain, most Definitely there Should be Better Terms for this Kind of Activity. But since it's the most explicit for Our Discussion, it Stays.


Blockchain is an Evolving Ecosystem And With Projects Popping up Daily, There is Lots of Money to Make, And there are Many Contests that offers You the Opportunity to Earn.


I Consider this Activity to be Super Fun, Special and Damn Exhilarating, because it makes it Possible to Experience all that Blockchain is Offering, Back-to-Back.

7. Buildspace[Unofficial]

Buildspace is a Free Online Resource to Learn about Building Blockchain Applications (Dapps, NFTs, Marketplaces and Mini-Games) on Top Blockchains Like Polygon, Solana, and Ethereum.
