Chapter 2. Building Your Web3 Media Startup Team

Оглавление

In the initial stages of your Web3 media startup, it’s perfectly fine to start with just two people, especially if you’re focusing on creating YouTube videos. By dividing the responsibilities between the two of you, you can effectively manage content creation, editing, and promotion.


As your startup begins to generate revenue from projects such as creating intros or hosting AMA videos, you can then consider hiring a designer and manager to join your team. This will help you expand your services, improve the quality of your content, and streamline your operations.


Remember to maintain open communication and a strong working relationship with your co-founder, as this will be crucial to your startup’s success during these early stages. As your team grows, continue to prioritize diversity, talent, and passion to ensure the ongoing success of your Web3 media startup.
