By the time you finish all 9 Lessons in this guide, you'll be ready to take on a crypto project/company as a client.
As you know, one of the problems crypto projects have with marketing is that on top of marketing their actual product/service, they often have to do the work of selling/educating their target customers on crypto in general (what it is, how/where to buy crypto, how to set up a wallet, etc).
To help make onboarding users to NEAR much simpler, NEAR introduced NEAR drops.
<aside> 💡 A NEAR drop lets you send a link to whoever you want with a certain amount of $NEAR attached to it.
