Leverage Power Profiles
The @dwr Power: The @dwr.eth account is a great example of a high-engagement profile. Find similar channels in your niche and collaborate! Some of our favorites: @Jesse of Variant; @Jessepollak of Coinbase.
Engage with Subject Matter Experts
Identify 10 accounts in your field and actively engage with their posts. Leave thoughtful comments, answer questions, and participate in discussions. Here's a bonus tip: follow accounts that complement your expertise, not directly compete with it.
Follow-Gate Your Frames
Create valuable, informative and composable frames (think blog posts or infographics) and offer them as gated content. Users will need to follow you to unlock the goodies. This is a great way to incentivize followers while providing high-quality content. I.e. listen to Wu-Tang Clan’s Once Upon a Time in Shaolin gated by NFTs on base (in time for onchain summer…more on this later).
Content is King (and Queen)
Farcaster rewards quality content combined with product. Our previous blog post (link here) dives deep into strategies for acquiring the coveted Power Badge, a symbol of content and makes your casts more visible to attract more followers.
Embrace other onchain apps
- Weponder for Interactive Polls: Use Weponder to create engaging polls and spark conversations around trending topics.
- Direct Messages: Craft personalized DMs to high-profile accounts in your niche. Don't spam, but offer genuine value or initiate a conversation. Pro tip: Utilize the Percs DM frame (with a daily limit of 5,000) to incentivize engagement.
- Paragraph: Onchain newsletters are far more effective in reaching your audience.
- Unlonely: Watch pioneering guests of webinars and episodes onchain
Build Your Warpcast Family
The Farcaster community thrives on collaboration. Don't be afraid to ask for help and offer yours in return. This fosters a sense of camaraderie and can lead to cross-promotion opportunities. This could be building apps together, client tools, etc.
Go Beyond Warpcast
- Drakula and Farcaster Clients: Utilize Drakula (or other Farcaster clients) to create video content and cross-post it across other social media platforms.
Ride the Onchain Summer Wave:
Participate in trending onchain events to boost your visibility. Checkout the drops by Adidas.
Be Instantly Recognizable
Having a memorable profile picture (PFP) and handle is crucial for standing out in the Farcasterverse. 2 letter and 3 letter domains are great. Funny 1-lines are also attractive.
Give away tips:
Most meme coins require you to earn your tips before you give it out like $Degen. There are some like raindrops, $Rain, that allow you to earn it by talking about it.
By following these hacks and consistently creating top-notch content, you'll be well on your way to Farcaster fame!
