Want to collaborate with leading Web3 projects? The connection game isn't rocket science, but most people get it wrong.

Sliding into X DMs actually works. Project ghostwriters scan these messages constantly and they'll connect you to decision-makers if you're worth their time. The trick? Don't pitch immediately.

Start by engaging with their posts meaningfully. When you finally send that DM, lead with specific value you can deliver. Generic "I'd love to work together" messages get ignored. Show them what you've already done in their space, or point out an opportunity they're missing.

The projects worth working with can smell desperation. Approach it like you're evaluating them too.
