Last weekend, I spoke about technical writing at the
@StarkNetAfrica
event in Lagos.
I started out by emphasizing the fact that many things in Web3 can be super technical for an average Joe to grab.
And this is where technical communicators come in.
Bearing in mind that most
Earlier today, I had the honor of speaking about the importance of technical content creation in Web3.
This was the crux of my gospel:
Billions of people are disconnected from Web3, and solid content is the only bridge to bring them in.
You can access my slides here:
I'll be speaking about the intricacies of technical writing: what it is all about, how it helps Web3, and how to become a technical writer.

Today, I am not sharing any technical content marketing or sales stuff.
I simply wanna say thank you to you all.
I mean, I love sharing things I discovered while building or marketing technical products here. Sometimes, I throw bants, other times I share tips.
I'll be hosting a month-long Technical Writing workshop starting this month.
The first week will be solely dedicated to Grammar & Styles.
If you've always wanted to learn Technical Writing from a holistic POV, you should be there.
I really want to onboard more people into technical writing and blockchain engineering
Starting with my friends first. Probably try my best to get them jobs too.
As a remote worker who has seen a lot in the hands of PayPal and Payoneer exchangers, nobody can tell me that blockchain has no use case.
Receiving payment in crypto within minutes and without any hassle is bliss.
Glad to be in Web3 for real.
I built a smart contract that facilitates real-time burger sales.
You can order, invoice, and pay for your burger via a smart contract.
Probably the most interesting project I've jumped on:
Happy Birthday to the founder of Blockchain Alpha,
@jofawole
🎊🎊🎉
Your dedication, expertise and commitment to the growth of the team is truly commendable.
You have our admiration, chief. Here's to many more birthdays🥂🥳
PS: We got your balloons!🤭
At this point, I guess I want to be more committed to teaching people technical writing.
Been training some individually, so I think it's better I do it in groups.
Will be doing a month-long TW Bootcamp soon.
Lemme know if you'd be interested.
People of God, so I'd be speaking about technical content creation at the upcoming Web3 Bridge Conference.
There'd be maximal value and vibes. You should come around.

- Crossed 14k followers on LinkedIn.

To all of you who appreciate what I post here, thank you. I'll always be sharing more awesome stuff around excellent writing, coding, and marketing.
Let's keep rocking.🥳🙏🏾🎉
The Bitcoin chain has been a pacesetter in DeFi. But at its early stage, it had a serious loophole.
This loophole caused the eventual bankruptcy of a billion-dollar exchange. We call it Bitcoin Transaction Malleability Problem. A thread🧵👇🏾:
A major issue you might probably face as a Web3 founder is customer retention.
And yes, I know it's a big issue.
Let me show you one important thing you should fix to retain users (all for free👇🏽)
Sometimes, how far a Web3 project can go depends on the founders. However, the background of these founders can be both a blessing and a curse.
As someone who has technical & marketing backgrounds, this is what I want every Web3 founder to know:
To a large extent, make peace
As always, my DM is open if you wanna kickoff careers in content marketing, technical writing, or blockchain development.
I'd gladly put you through. And yes, I don't bite.🤗
Elon Musk of Tesla, Steve Chen of YouTube, and Roelof Botha of Sequoia Capital all worked at PayPal.
There are some things you should learn about these guys if you want to build fantastic companies.
This is the story of the PayPal Mafia👇🏽:
You have one high-priority job as a founder: Never run out of funds.
You cannot pay your staff or scale your business without revenues.
I have a few thoughts that can help fellow Web3 founders on this. Read on.

Who doesn't like AJS for goodness sake? That's one of the reasons I don't like interacting with Christian Twitter sometimes.
I mean, some of us became serious with God as a result of AJS' messages. Plus he teaches sound doctrine too.
He is here to stay, and that's on periodt.👍🏾
I'm ready to pour all my heart into this Technical Writing workshop that's starting next week.
And believe me when I call it a WORKSHOP — learning & doing.
Let's get this.🚀
Face that laptop; keep coding, writing, and meeting people.
No, don't even wait for any motivation. Keep building and see how everything else falls in place.
One of my goals before the year ends was to strengthen my JS fundamentals.
Woke up in the midnight to kick start a kind of JS crash course.
Learned some really cool stuff. Back to Solidity.💆🏾♂️👨🏽💻🚀
Content marketing will only bring your expected ROI if you're strategic about it.
I spoke about why you should prioritize content strategy in developers marketing.👨🏾💻
PS: I know my first set of videos will suck.😌🤝🏾
This is another day to learn & build cool stuff in Web3.
Don't forget to enjoy the process. Let's go, fellas.👨🏽💻👑🤌🏽🚀
PS: Said I'll be taking more pictures, let's kick-off with this.
Built an escrow contract where the buyer can keep funds till the seller meets their responsibilities of the bargain.
Check out here:
Not the best escrow, but I'm getting better.🫶🏽
Technical writing can be vague, especially for someone new.
@Victorfawole0
wrote this interesting piece as a broad overview & roadmap for anyone hoping to launch into technical writing:
I'll never encourage you to be proud. But be unapologetically confident as a career guy.
Carry yourself with professional confidence. And yes, confidence alone will open lots of doors for you.
A cool announcement:
I'll be attending the upcoming Blockchain UNN Conference.
I'll be speaking on Technical Writing. Yes, this is my invitation for you to be there.
Cooking the slides, and so much alpha to drop...👨🏾💻🤌🏽
This month, I'm ready to take more clients. Do reach out to me if you want a:
- Blockchain Technical Writer
- Web3 Content Marketer, or a
- Crypto Writer
If you love me or you love what I do, hire me or refer me. Can shoot a DM, let's do awesome stuff together.👨🏽💻🤝
Ladies and gents in tech, it's a new week. I'm sure you rested well over the weekend.
Prioritise your tasks and block out distractions. Go have a super amazing week.🚀
Hypeman John in the building.🔥🔥
Have you ever tried selling your services and the client asked, "Why should I pay that much for a single service?"
Well, that is because you didn't apply the sales principle of unbundling.
A quick marketing tip to make people swipe cards for you:
Stripe is worth about $94 million and they power over 1 million businesses.
I have analyzed their strategy.
If you want to build a great Web3 company, read more about Stripe…
Perhaps you don't know Stripe, let me do a bit of intro:
It is a financial company that makes it
There is a popular belief that the content creation journey kicks off with your blog.
You might lose some leads if you believe this.
Let me show you the actual starting point.👇🏽
Well, competition is real and you cannot avoid it whenever you're trying to build any company.
The brutal truth is that competition can shake your company out of the market.
It can be that bad. So how do you handle it?
You see, the issue of competition isn't something you
You must know how to push your potential users to prospects that eventually buy.
There are tested ways to do it.
You should read this as a Web3 founder or anyone building in Web3.👇🏽
I'll be ending my vacation this weekend.
Johnny will be fully back next week. Got some new exciting stuff to share around Web3 content marketing & technical writing.
Gonna choke y'all with premium alpha.
Writing tip:
You can always use the em dash to make side comments without pausing to communicate your main point.
Example:
John—a technical writing dude—is rumored to have a cute sense of humor.
Nobody made a rigid templates that all startups or companies must raise seeds to fluorish.
In fact, you can choose not to go that route.
But how do you do it? Let me show you 👇🏽:
You must be able to write clear and unambiguous words as a writer.
But you must know about what we call Dangling Modifiers to achieve this purpose.
Discover how to write creative, clear, and evocative expressions.👇🏽
You just know you're doing something right when tech companies put you on a retainer.
A lot of Web3 technical companies have hired Blockchain Alpha as their marketing partner.
Most of them are now our recurring clients.
Getting great feedback from each of them. Haha.👨🏾💻🫶🏽
And let me say this again:
I am a blockchain technical writer.
I break down hardcore blockchain concepts; write developer guides; and craft highly informative DeFi whitepapers.
Bring me jobs & refer me to someone this week. "T" for Thanks.👨🏽💻♥️
If I tell you I'm a technical writer, why would you still ask if I can code?
I mean, is the "technical" on my title for jokes? I'm simply a Dev that can write well, bruh. 🙂
I'll be giving a panoramic technical writing workshop at the
@DevXHQ
event next month.

I've used social media to get jobs time and time again. And one thing I've discovered is that no one should give a damn about algorithms.
Just do your thing. All those "post at least 15 times a day" don't mean anything.
Just do your thing. Algorithms will comply.
