In this article, I will explain all 12 key points in an extremely simple and understandable way, detailing how to achieve profitability on the X platform at zero cost, even without many fans and a large account.

Even if Kaito's Yappers and previous information monetization models are about to become ineffective, the methods shared here can still help you continue to profit on the X platform. Gameplay may become outdated, but opportunities always exist. Even with few fans, those who start taking action now can still reap rewards.

1. Build Your X Personal Profile First

Before you start posting, you need to improve your personal profile, such as using a clean avatar, a concise bio, and an appropriate cover image; your username should not look like a bot or an airdrop professional; if your account has low-quality content in its posts (such as airdrops, completing tasks, etc.), if already published, it is recommended to delete it immediately or register a new account, but avoid frequent operations to prevent affecting account weight; the number of followers should be greater than the number of accounts you follow, and try to maintain a 10:3 ratio of followers to following (for example: 500 followers, 150 following); clean up bots or invalid accounts you follow; additionally, the bio can be assisted by AI tools for correction but should be written in your own version, do not completely copy others; it is recommended to purchase X subscription services, which can enhance exposure and demonstrate account professionalism.

Key Point: Most people will judge your account based on these details. If personal information appears very ordinary, it will lead to very few followers and no trust.

2. New Rules You Must Master Under Current Gameplay

LB = Leaderboard: A reward ranking for content creators;

Mindshare: The percentage of value your content contributes to the project among all creators;

Quality Followers: Includes seasoned players, corporate accounts, well-known founders/co-founders, venture capital institutions, and official project accounts* (attract their attention by maintaining high continuity and relevance in your account's content);

New Creator Rules: Content quality > follower count, meaning smaller accounts can also surpass larger ones.

Key Point: In the past, people pursued traffic heat and high interaction data, but now the AI review system values content relevance and continuity more than just likes.

3. How to Get on the Leaderboard

You need to post a single long tweet, not a thread. Of course, you can use AI tools during the process, but you should create as if you are a real person, avoiding an AI tone. Pay attention to these details: change "---" to a hyphen "-"; avoid repetitive use of words like "and," "often," etc.; do not overuse commas, emojis, and hashtags; appropriately retain some harmless expression flaws to make the content more natural.

Incorrect Example: Hey How Are You --- i m good

Correct Example: Hey How Are You - i m good

When targeting the same project, post 2-3 tweets daily and maintain continuity for more than 15-20 days.

But if you don't quickly enter the creator leaderboard, don't be anxious, because you are still in the learning phase, and all of this will be based on accumulating experience and trust.

This new era belongs to creators, not those internet celebrities with a large number of fans: projects like Kaito, Cookies, and Wallchain have reward standards based on: content continuity, daily investment, and sharing high-quality knowledge content, not just views, follower counts, or hype.

So, even with few fans, as long as you post 2-3 tweets daily, maintain continuous output for 15-20 days, and focus on 2-3 projects, you can still profit from it. Even if you cannot monetize immediately, you will gain experience, connections, and industry recognition. (Focusing on a few projects allows you to think calmly and create higher quality unique content.)

Most people think that a large number of fans, official project certification, or insider connections are needed to get on the leaderboard, which is incorrect. Currently, the X platform is experiencing a new wave: anyone can profit solely from content creation, even starting with zero fans and zero investment.

As long as you enter early, maintain stability, and follow the correct system, you can transform your X account into a long-term income source.

Most people believe that "information monetization or content creation has become a red ocean… it is too late to enter now."

But according to my data verification, the truth is: even if thousands of people have read this article, only 8% will actually try, and only 3%-4% will persist for more than a week.

Why? Because 90% of people only want to make quick money but do not want to put in sustained effort. This is also why only a small number of people can earn huge returns; while others give up, they continue to focus forward. So you must stay serious and persistent, and you can easily rank among the top 3% of creators.

4. How to Create Content / Tweets / Posts

When promoting cryptocurrency projects, systematic content planning and effective information delivery are crucial. Before posting any tweets, conduct in-depth research on the project, understand its core goals, the problems it aims to solve, funding background, supporting institutions, practical application scenarios, and future roadmap. Based on this understanding, organize and interpret it in your own words, AI tools should only be used for grammar correction, and full text writing is strictly prohibited to ensure the authenticity of the content and personal viewpoints. Additionally, each tweet should ideally be accompanied by images, screenshots, or charts to enhance readability and shareability.

You can follow a clear content framework to organize your tweets, such as the "Five-Day Content Framework": Day 1 introduces what the project is, Day 2 analyzes the team and investors, Day 3 interprets token economics and roadmap, Day 4 explores practical scenarios, and Day 5 creates memes related to the project theme. When posting, be sure to tag the project's official account and relevant team members, avoid using the project name as a hashtag, but you can use token symbols like $BTC.

If you have been involved in cryptocurrency for 2 to 4 years, you should have a basic understanding of how the industry operates. So, when a project has issues, if your English is not good, you can first write your thoughts in your native language, then use ChatGPT or any other AI tool to convert it into simple English before tweeting. It's that simple, but be cautious of over-relying on AI.

Additionally, join all official communities on the X platform; this will help you stay updated, gain interaction opportunities, and connect with other creators.

5. How to Create High-Quality Content

To create high-quality content, the key is to maintain a balance between professionalism and approachability.

First, strive for concise and clear expression: use at most one hashtag per post (not using one appears more professional), and at most one or two emojis (not using any makes it easier to read). Also, avoid using too many fancy words to ensure the information can be directly understood.

Second, the depth of the content comes from thorough preparation. Before posting, make sure to spend time on research—from the project's official documents, GitHub, website, to its X platform profile, Telegram, Discord, and other communities; these channels can provide you with a solid factual basis. For example, if you want to find the team behind a project, an effective method is to check the following list or associated accounts of its X platform account.

Finally, and most importantly, is to grasp the correct creative mindset. When posting, think of it as teaching a friend, using simple language and providing examples, rather than mechanically repeating information. Remember, quality certainly outweighs quantity, but long-term persistence surpasses everything.

6. How to Find Projects Offering Creator Allocations or Rewards

To maximize your chances of obtaining rewards in the InfoFi field, the key is to adopt a systematic strategy.

First, you need to closely follow potential information projects like Kaito, Cookie, Wallchain, Xeet, Galxe and ensure you join their official platforms, while also remaining open to emerging projects in the future.

During participation, in-depth project research is essential. This includes carefully reviewing project documents, understanding past activities, and actively joining their Telegram and other community channels, paying special attention to announcements regarding "creator allocations," "content rewards," and "engagement activities." Additionally, following the early creators of the project on Twitter can help you discover "relatively low-competition but well-funded" quality projects.

Key: The core formula for success is "Early Participation + Continuous Investment." Only by intervening in the early stages of a project and maintaining active contributions can you seize the maximum opportunity for rewards.

7. How to Gain Followers and Interaction

To maintain the activity and influence of your account, the key is to persistently post tweets daily. Even brief thoughts or updates can maintain your "presence." In addition to daily voicing, become a responder of high-quality content: when influencers, creators, or project parties post content, engage early (ideally within 10 minutes), and avoid saying empty phrases like "great" or "nice," instead leave deep, thought-provoking comments.

Here are some suggestions to help you grow quickly:

Point 1: Don't just engage in small talk; when a project exhibits fraudulent behavior, proactively expose it and express your genuine opinions, as users trust creators who dare to speak the truth;

Point 2: You can use AI tools for assistance (such as translating Chinese to English), but generated content often has unnatural punctuation or phrasing, so manual editing is needed before posting to make it more aligned with human expression habits.

Point 3: Be sure to share your experiences. Whether success or failure—such as receiving airdrops, making profits, or encountering losses—be honest in reviewing and sharing the process. Real experiences win more trust and attention than pure hype.

8. How to Operate Your X Account

To truly grow in content creation, you must fully commit and persistently tweet daily, rather than focusing solely on making money from the start. Don't let the thought of "working hard but seeing no results" distract you—consistent output will naturally lead to wealth and growth. All of this relies on strict self-discipline: you need to set clear goals, such as "within the next three months, post at least two tweets daily, with an interval of 5 to 8 hours between tweets." More importantly, do not rush to come up with content at the last minute; preparing tweet materials one or two days in advance is key.

If you cannot practice the CDHS principle, all methods will lose their meaning: Consistency + Discipline + Hard Work + Smart Work is the cornerstone of your growth journey. It is particularly crucial that if you follow this rhythm for 16 to 17 consecutive days, it will naturally integrate into your life. But the premise is to persist daily without interruption. Please instill this belief in your mind now and fully commit to practicing it.

9. How to Get More Views on Your Tweets

Persist, persist, and persist with the methodologies summarized above:

Post long single tweets; join project communities; apply the CDHS principle; post during active hours; focus on at most 2 to 3 projects.

10. Don't Miss These Opportunities (Simple Ways to Enhance Your X Profile)

In social media interactions, many people tend to overlook seemingly simple daily moments, yet these moments can effectively enhance interaction and promote personal growth, so make good use of them.

For instance, when you profit or incur losses from any project, feel free to share your experiences with the community, especially pointing out where things went wrong. If you have doubts about a project, questions, or possess key information, do not hesitate to express your genuine opinions, as sincere insights attract attention and build trust. Additionally, if you find influential figures or communities discussing a scam project, actively participate and share your views—this type of scam-related content often receives ten times more interaction because everyone wants the latest updates and warnings.

Regardless of what type of tweet you post, remember: the first line of the tweet is like a title, directly determining whether readers will continue reading or scroll away, so be sure to create a powerful, eye-catching, clear, and memorable opening.

11. Benefits of Creating Content on X

Creating content on the X platform means much more than just posting tweets. If you can maintain activity and stable output, this investment will open a door to countless opportunities for you. Many mistakenly believe that after participating in a project boom like Kaito, the returns will stop, which is a serious misconception. The real value manifests on multiple levels:

First, you can directly obtain content creation token rewards through platforms like Kaito and Galxe, including earnings from sharing referral links, exclusive community identities, and additional airdrops. Second, when you continuously produce high-quality content for a project, you often gain priority access to token sales; even if you lack funds, you can transfer your slot and earn commissions, achieving zero-cost profits.

More importantly, this process helps you build a solid personal brand and reputation, allowing you to grow and be recognized by more people. Always remember, connections are wealth.

Based on this, more opportunities will follow: such as future paid promotion collaborations (be sure to only promote real projects), applying for project ambassador roles (clearly articulate the value you can provide, and once selected, you usually only need to post a few tweets weekly to earn rewards), etc. As you grow, you will continuously discover new opportunities, including expanding your network, gaining collaboration chances, obtaining early information, and joining private communities. Once you establish your influence network, opportunities will keep flowing in. Therefore, be sure to keep creating.

12. Solutions for Scam Projects (How to Combat Projects That Deceive the Community)

If you encounter a scam project, first write a clear and complete long tweet to explain the events, and use the project's token tag (like $MON) to ensure it appears in searches. Please tag me in the tweet or quote my content, and I will join the discussion promptly to enhance interaction. At the same time, be sure to directly tag the project team, making it impossible for them to evade the issue, and rationally comment with facts and screenshots under their tweets until the problem is resolved or they respond, while maintaining politeness throughout the process.

On this basis, unlike and unfollow the project, stop contributing interaction data for it; if it is indeed a scam, report it decisively. Collective action is key to applying pressure: as long as at least 100-200 users speak out simultaneously, it will create real market pressure; if you can initiate votes and comments on the token listing platform or market websites simultaneously, the multi-channel response effect will be even more significant.

In Conclusion:

Most people desire results but are unwilling to put in the effort, fantasizing about profits while lacking the perseverance to sustain them. Countless individuals stop at the swipe of a finger, never truly taking action, but you are different. You read seriously, actively learn, and now have mastered the complete method to rise as a Web3 content creator on the X platform.

Remember: success on the X platform does not depend on follower count, English proficiency, or luck; the only key is continuous output, strict self-discipline, and daily cultivation. And right now, you are still in the early bonus period, very early! As long as you start practicing the CDHS principle today: post daily, learn daily, grow daily, you can still build your own influence landscape. The more value you create, the greater the returns.
