Trading relies on capital to bet against the market, but posting in the community square is different—this is true "zero-cost" monetization. As long as your positioning is clear and your content is solid, traffic will come naturally.



**Level One: Tag Yourself**

Thousands of posts appear in the square every day. To avoid being drowned out, you need to make people recognize who you are at a glance. After a year of observing highly liked accounts, the three most effective types for gaining followers are:

**Crisis Whistleblower** — An veteran with technical knowledge and insider information. Content typically exposes major incidents—such as a wallet explosion or API hijacking. Why is this so influential? Simply put, everyone fears losing money, and these early warnings create a sense of urgency. When it comes to later conversions, the trust foundation is already established, making the conversion rate extremely high.

**Macro Analyst** — Data flow and macroeconomic experts. Discuss non-farm payroll data, ETF capital flows, and the impact of Japan’s interest rate hikes on the crypto market. This type of content attracts big investors and institutional players, ensuring high-quality followers.

**Dog Hunter / Airdrop King** — Even if a project only has a few hundred USD, they teach you how to participate step-by-step. The content is straightforward and crude, appealing to newcomers eager to get rich quickly. The follower base is large, but engagement tends to be average.

My advice? If you have a technical background, don’t stick to just one path. Combine "hardcore technology + security alerts + macro analysis" to create a versatile, high-quality KOL—this is exactly what the square needs most.

**Level Two: How to Write Content That Goes Viral**

The recommendation logic of the square is actually very straightforward: Click-through rate + read-through rate + interaction rate = traffic.

The first killer move is the title. The title is the bait on the fishing hook—if it’s not attractive enough, even the best content won’t get clicked.

Hey, you're right, but there are very few who can really keep producing content. Most just jump on trending topics to make a quick buck and then disappear.

There's nothing wrong with that, but the reality is that most people choose the local dog hunter and still lose money every day, haha.

Basically, it's about packaging oneself and then harvesting profits, sounds nice but only a few can really do it.

This set of tagging theories sounds good, but the folks at the plaza have already played out the concept. How can it still stand out?

This tactic, in essence, is just about packaging oneself and selling a persona. Whistleblowers are the most ruthless; just creating panic can build trust and maximize conversion rates... It's a good point, but few can truly stick to consistently producing content.

This approach sounds good, but how many people can really stick with it... Most people give up after labeling.

It should be pointed out that there is a fundamental fallacy in the argument of this "tagged persona" approach. On-chain data shows that truly high-follower accounts never rely on a single persona tag—they rely on information advantage and continuous output capability. The so-called "zero-cost monetization"? Undoubtedly, that is a survivor bias rhetoric.

That's right, but those who truly make money never show off in public; they cut leeks privately.
