Title: Bitcoin exchange startup: where do I start with marketing?
Post by: lovegood on May 08, 2015, 01:09:04 PM
Hey, my name's Amose, I decided to start my own Bitcoin exchange and run it from my home in the RSA.

It's coming along and I'm starting to think further down the line. Here's the thing: I'm good (somewhat)
at programming but my marketing skills are similar to those of a 70 year old granny, so I basically have
no idea how I'm gonna promote it when it's launched. I want to ask for your help to find a good sources
to get some basic understanding of internet marketing before I launch. Preferably free or very cheap
to get access to. Thanks!

You could advertise your platform on this forum, there is a regular auction for advertising spots.

Or you could start by building up a brand on social media. Twitter, Facebook and Google+ will play an important role in that regard.

Advertising on crypto news sites could be another option, yet those rates aren't always cheap :)

Whenever you promote, make sure to post all of your certs/licensing and tell people why and how you are objectively safe and secure.

That would be a good start as well :)

This forum: Run a signature campaign

Ads: A-Ads, Bitmedia or any other bitcoin related ad platform is a good start in my opinion.

Also make sure to be active on twitter & facebook
