Let’s talk about Basil, my crypto assistant
It would be a crime to call Basil “my assistant”.
I met Basil back in 2021, when WhiteboardCrypto was exploding with over 800 unresponded emails and 10,000 excited discord members that needed some management and organization.
She was initially extremely helpful in the Discord, so I asked if she wanted to do some voiceover work for another YouTube channel I had, trying to automate that channel without my attention. Eventually, she became a mod of the WBC Discord and with time I trusted her to manage the business email. She created processes and systems on her own, and let me focus on creating.
For about a year now, Basil has practically operated WhiteboardCrypto. Specifically, here’s what she’s been doing:
Writing and sending newsletter emails
Replying to customer service emails
Managing the Discord and answering questions
Researching topics to make videos on
Writing scripts for me to narrate
Even narrating some videos like Liquid Staking and Eigenlayer
Basil is a high-agency, curiously-cultured individual who holds a masters degree. She’s looking for extra work, and I want to help her find it. I’m hoping to use our brand to help her find a serious project with a long term opportunity that amplifies the skills and talent she has.
Just to clarify, I’m not letting her go! I’d actually love to continue paying her and keep her busy with our work. The reality is that WhiteboardCrypto is slowing down, which directly affects how much work I can offer her, and ultimately her compensation. I don’t want to turn the brand into a profit-maximizing machine that focuses on sponsorships for support or spamming videos for views about projects that you’ll forget about next week.
