If you’re a community manager in Web3, you already know this space moves fast. One day, you’re explaining what an NFT is; the next, you’re diving into tokenomics, governance, and AI-powered trading. The good news? This rapid evolution brings huge opportunities, especially if you’re looking to level up your career.

And that’s exactly what I have discovered while contributing to Olivia AI - an AI-powered trading insights super app built on TON. Whether you're just starting out or a seasoned community pro, here are some key lessons from my journey that can help you scale your Web3 community career.

1. Understand the Tech – Even If You’re Not a Developer

Web3 is full of jargon - L1s, L2s, staking, DeFi, AI agents. At first, it’s overwhelming, but the more you immerse yourself, the better you get at simplifying complex ideas for your community.

Lesson: Break down blockchain and AI concepts into digestible content. If you can make someone say, “Oh, that makes sense now,” you’re already winning.

2. Content is Your Best Friend

Good community management is 80% communication. If you’re not crafting engaging threads, writing blogs, or making videos, you’re missing out on organic growth.

Lesson: Experiment with different formats - Twitter Spaces, AMAs, infographics, memes (yes, memes are content too). The goal is to keep engagement high and your community excited.

What you can do: Design a content calendar for Twitter and Discord, balancing education, entertainment, and updates to keep your community engaged.

3. Make Yourself Indispensable

The best community managers don’t just manage communities; they lead them. That means being proactive, solving problems, and spotting growth opportunities.

Lesson: Treat every project like it’s your own startup. Go beyond moderating and start thinking about community growth strategies, partnerships, and retention.

What you can do: help structure an ambassador engagement program, ensuring power users have a voice and play a role in shaping the ecosystem.

4. Networking = Career Growth

Web3 thrives on relationships. Some of the best opportunities don’t come from job boards but from Twitter threads, Telegram groups, and Discord DMs.

Lesson: Engage with thought leaders, participate in communities, and contribute to discussions. Your next gig or partnership could come from a single insightful comment.

5. Be Open to Experimentation

Web3 is still evolving, and what worked last year might not work today. The best community managers adapt, iterate, and try new things.

Lesson: Run test campaigns, experiment with incentives, and don’t be afraid to pivot if something isn’t working.
