Thinking about this piece I posted on Rodeo yesterday and how combined onchain social mechanics have opened up me and my work in so many new ways.

It’s at around 40 copies collected with a few hours to go on Rodeo which is above average for me so far and due in part to support from prominent folks like Kayvon 💕

I also crossed posted to X, Warpcast and @lens (via Orb) which generated a couple of collects but more interestingly it has amounted to over 2.6k $degen and 1.5k $bonsai via tip mechanics on Warpcast and @orb — again with support from high profile community members like Wake on WC & @natem here that can’t be expected for every post but is fiercely appreciated 🩵

Those (and future) posts now have the potential to earn more tips as long as tips are supported on these platforms, long after the 24hr window of the actual collectible closes.

I’ve approached Rodeo as an onchain social platform. A place for me to share unseen AI and design experiments, process and bts and as an onchain visual diary or scrapbook of sorts where I can allow folks to collect thoughts and experiments that I wouldn’t have minted elsewhere and that I might not have created at all in lieu of this type of platform.

Some pieces may become the origin of something more defined later on but I don’t have an expectation that these posts will serve as a core financial support unless I see a huge and consistent increase in my current volumes (which will likely be the exception and not the rule for most creators). Managing expectations and time commitment is important in these contexts.

However the symphony of cross chain web3 social platforms and mechanics has exponentially increased the ways I can generate revenue, expand my reach, find new peers and collectors and is something that feels full of potential energy 🤩

It’s not going to be for everyone but for now I’m enjoying exploring Rodeo and Zora as avenues for play and connection while still maintaining a considered approach for my wider body of work that I depend on for my livelihood 💜
