Do’s & Don’ts in Web3 Distribution

Distribution in Web3 Projects 📢

As the wise Justin Kan (@justinkan) once said, "First-time founders are obsessed with product. Second-time founders are obsessed with distribution." This statement perfectly captures the essence of today's topic: Distribution in Web3 Projects.

When launching a web3 project, one crucial question to ask yourself is: "What's my distribution trick?" This trick can make or break your journey to success by helping you secure those all-important first users. Let's explore some do’s and don’ts by Martin Tobias (@MartinGTobias)

Do’s:

  • Research Your Audience: Understand your target audience deeply. Know their pain points, preferences, and where they spend their time in the web3 ecosystem.

  • Leveraging Relationships: Selling to users or collaborating with projects you've worked with before and leveraging existing relationships can kickstart your distribution.

  • Leverage Web3 Communities: Engage with and contribute to web3 communities, such as forums, Discord and Telegram groups, to build trust and gain early adopters.

  • Offer Value First: Provide value to your users before asking for anything in return. This builds goodwill and encourages word-of-mouth referrals.

  • Waitlist Strategy: Having a substantial waitlist of interested users can create a buzz and drive initial adoption.

Don’ts:

  • Generic Ads: Relying solely on Google or Facebook ads without a unique strategy is less effective.

  • Unclear Traffic Source: Not tracking where your web traffic comes from, even if it's free, lacks strategic insight.

  • Neglect User Feedback: Don't disregard user feedback, even if it's critical. Listen to your early users; they can help you improve your product and distribution strategy.

  • Overcomplicate: Avoid overly complex distribution strategies. Simplicity often works best, especially in the early stages.

  • Lose Focus: Don't spread your efforts too thin across multiple distribution channels. Concentrate on a few that align with your target audience.
