On how to Find your Place in Web3

It's often the quietest beginnings that lead to the most inspiring journeys. For some, it starts with a tweet. For others, a simple recommendation from a friend. And sometimes, all it takes is a little curiosity to unlock something greater.
A passionate community member who found not just a platform, but a purpose through Social Mining. From unsure beginnings to confident contributions, her story is one of growth, discovery, and the power of showing up.
Curiosity into Purpose
Known in the Social Mining world as @Xelbern or in real life Selinaline, first stumbled into space, she wasn’t expecting to find something so fulfilling. Like many others, she started with curiosity, a bit of skepticism, and a simple nudge from a friend. But what followed was a journey of discovery, creativity, and genuine growth that she never saw coming.
“I first discovered Social Mining through you, of course, no one else but you, @beautyqueenamara, my dear high school friend,” she shared with a smile.
At the time, I was simply curious about what Social Mining was all about after seeing your post about your earnings. But as I started exploring, I found a vibrant community full of passion, purpose, and endless opportunities.
What started as a casual scroll became a meaningful part-time pursuit alongside her full-time job.
Uncovering Hidden Strengths
When asked how she’s changed since stepping into the space, her answer is full of quiet pride and surprise:
“Social Mining has truly been a turning point in my journey. It challenged me to step out of my comfort zone.
Along the way, I uncovered skills I never realized I had, crafting content, designing infographics, communicating effectively, and even thinking strategically.”
With every task, she grew. Not just in technical ability, but in confidence. From someone who wasn’t sure her work would be seen, she evolved into a contributor whose content now stands out in the community.

From Skeptic to Believer
“At first, I thought it might be too good to be true. ‘Get rewarded just for tweeting or completing tasks?’ It sounded unreal. But once I saw my content being recognized and rewarded, my whole perspective shifted.”
And shift it did. She learned firsthand that Social Mining isn’t just about earning tokens, it’s about meaningful contribution. It’s about growth. It’s about people from all over the world coming together, supporting each other, and building something bigger.
“Different backgrounds, same goals. That’s the power of the Social Mining family!”
Selinaline’s participation in the RWA Hub and her earnings from ILO allocations have also solidified her belief in the system, and in herself. The success she’s seen now fuels her drive to continue creating with purpose.
Advice to Newcomers
To those hesitant or doubtful, she offers an empathetic but clear message:
“It’s natural to be cautious when something sounds too good to be true, but after experiencing it firsthand, I can confidently say that Social Mining is far from a scam.
The more you contribute, the more you see its value, not just through the rewards, but through personal growth.”
She encourages anyone interested to give it an honest try. “If you’re willing to put in the work, you’ll quickly realize that it’s an opportunity truly worth exploring.”
A Future Reimagined
Social Mining has even shifted how Selinaline views stability and success.

“I used to think only traditional paths could bring stability. But now, I see that Web3, Social Mining, and decentralized communities open up a whole new world of possibilities, even for people with no prior experience.”
With a deep sense of gratitude to the DAO Labs team and Philippine Admins, and perhaps her final words say it best:
“I’m proud to be a Social Miner since September 2024. I wish all of us continued success and the ability to make an even greater impact in the future!”
Journey That’s Just Getting Started
From initial curiosity to confident creator, Selinaline’s story reminds us that the Web3 space is full of potential for those willing to explore, learn, and grow. Her evolution as a Social Miner is proof that passion, consistency, and community can turn hesitation into purpose, and even open doors to dreams once thought impossible.
As she continues to thrive, connect, and inspire others, her journey is far from over. In fact, it's just beginning!
To anyone still unsure about taking that first step, let this be your sign. Because sometimes, all it takes is one moment of curiosity to discover a whole new world of possibility.
