How team culture differs
Nutra teams are usually compact: 5–15 people per project. Everyone sits in one Telegram chat, the media buyer tests creatives, the AM approves leads, the designer cuts video. The pace is wild — in a week you can go from start to closing an offer. Salary is fixed plus bonus; income jumps.
Crypto teams are distributed globally: Dubai, Singapore, Lisbon. English is required. Conference trips are the norm. Pace is calmer, cycles longer, decisions debated in long product meetings. Salary more stable, ceiling higher.
Starting capital
To start running Nutra, you need $500–1,000 for an account pack and tests. A crypto start is pricier: $2,000–5,000 for Google whitelist accounts, SEO servers, buying niche Telegram channels.
If you work in a team — no starting capital is needed. The team provides the budget, you bring expertise. In Nutra you can join a small affiliate program as a junior on $1,500 fixed. In Crypto — via an AM role at a product company with a similar starting rate.
3-year outlook
After 3 years in Nutra you are a middle-senior with a salary of $4,000–7,000, a portfolio across 10+ niches, and an understanding of cloaking and trackers. You can open your own affiliate program or agency.
After 3 years in Crypto you are a senior marketer earning $7,000–15,000 plus options at some Web3 project. Deep expertise in one niche (DeFi, NFT, exchanges) and contacts across the industry. You can move into a startup at C-level or launch your own project.
