Bitcoin Forum

Hi all,

I am the marketing manager of EarnBitcoins.info (http://earnbitcoins.info).


I was just wondering how Bitcoin Website Owners go about promoting their websites.

What is the first step they take?

What do you think would be most appropriate for promoting a website like ours (a directory for bitcoin websites)?

What could be the most effective campaign (in relations to the rewards that are given out)?



Tell me what you think & note down some of your ideas here.

Who knows? Your campaign might get selected and you might receive some rewards for it!

I like to suggest to go for avatar campaign. Signature campaign and avatar campaigns will get you more promotions and popularity to your site for sure, but going only for avatar campaign will get similar results but within budget. You can also try social media campaigns.

- Good SEO practices
- link/banner exchanging
- guest posts on blogs
- buying traffic (do be carefull of your traffic source, so you don't end up paying for bot hits)
- getting listed on directorys, FFA's,...
- sig campaigns on bitcointalk
- being active on social media (bitcointalk, reddit, facebook, linkedin, twitter,...)
- make sure your visitors return by having good content, fast servers and a nice design...
- you can try to get them to opt-in for a newsletter
- promotional events like free raffles,....
- giveaways to your followers, or to people making videos or blogposts about your service
- asking for a recip link for listed sites

Anyways, good luck with your project  ;D

To promote a website here in this forum,
- People are making announcements thread in announcements section.
- Next step may be running a games and rounds to give away some freebies. Freebies will get more promotion usually.
- Signature/avatar and social media campaigns are other known ways to  promote.

Who knows, maybe this service discussion also will bring more promotions to your website. Good luck !

You can try this:

- A main thread in some of the money and crypto related forum where it must be always updated. The numbers of forums must be great in numbers like 10 or more forums (at least to be more effective).
- You can also post a main thread in a general forum where all topics under the sun are being discussed.
- Use the power of social media (Facebook, Twitter).
- Organizing a signature or avatar campaign (Optional, although if you just want visitors it's not necessary).
- Make something interesting in the site that people will keep on coming back like the guy above stated, raffles, giveaways or something.
- Hire people who is really good in doing advertisement. Only one is enough.
- Automated email messages so that they can be notified about some updates in your site.

Looking at the concept of http://earnbitcoins.info/
I think good way will be to use social media accounts to promote sites that will be listed in your listing everyday , using twitter may be good way to do so that the owner of those sites also retweet your post.

Another good way is to ask all the sites that will be listed to have banner or link to earnbitcoins.info which will increase backlinks and will help to get better indexed in search engines.

Other than this good SEO optimization is crucial in gaining organic search engine traffic.

This forum Is one of the bestest place to promote any bitcoin related website or business.You can either buy a ad space slot here or run your own signature campaign.Many websites have got good business from promoting here

As what others said the signature and avatar campaign is the best option to promote any bitcoin related website. But you can do allso promote your site in social media sites like twitter and facebook campaign also here in bitcointalk and I guess the last is making blogs or good reviews to promote your site. And many members here are eager to join any signature campaign here in bitcointalk. Just good luck to your business and project.

do promotions on a facebook group, I suppose it could increase real visitors for FREE, but make no mistake, just promotions in bitcoin related group, don't promotions in random groups if you do your fb account can get banned.

Try to promote your site on Twitter with many Hashtags, on Facebook you can try also with beauty pictures and a short and attractive text.

If your site is more complex and you want to invest more in marketing, create a Signature Campaign here on Bitcointalk Forum. You can run your campaign for a short time if you don't want to spend much money.

If OP will promote on social networks, hashtags is important, but too many of them is bad, because algorithm can read it as spam, and downgrade post reach. Also, in social networks text should be short but informative. Nice pictures is very important, users eyes will catch them.

A signature campaign may be a good and effective way to advertise a Bitcoin related site but not in this case.
This is not an online casino but a directory for bitcoin earning sites(hyips,fauctes etc)running a signature campaign is expensive and there is no chance op will cover the cost of it.He needs something much cheaper,a good SEO and creating a thread here are enough for a directory i think.

I just need to know about the first things is very important for advertising your site, how many amount already in your pocket for promoting your site? and we just not are choosing a random answer for you. we need more specific detail about your advertising purpose.

My suggestions:
1- advertise your site using Mellowads and Adbit, both are advertising networks, and they will advertise your site on other Bitcoin sites or blogs.
2- buy some advertising services for advertise your site on big facebook pages or twitter accounts
3- the above suggestions are cheap comparing with signature or twitter campaigns in this forum, if you have good budget, you can run signature or twitter campaigns.

great insights! alot of good ideas here definitely worth trying.

Actually I am pleased with some good comments in this thread. I want to add something:

1. If you want to succeed you need to work relentlessly towards success and be dedicated. At first it can be hard. Fact: Coca-Cola sold 25 bottles in their first year.

2. Don't be stingy with your promotional offers, at first you will probably lose money from promotion and ads. But that is to be expected, you will earn later.

3. Boost your visibility - one thread in announcement section or services won't gonna cut it. Be active, either here, or on every social media platform. Everyday.

I think so. as far as I know, people promote something here by posting on the appropriate section, announcement or service section.

the other way by using signature campaign, but I don't think it's a good way nowadays. so I think it's better to promote to social media such as facebook on crypto related groups, twitter, instagram, etc.

A Youtube video can help to advertise brands also. A nice professional video can help a lot to bring new users or customers to your service. And not only on Youtube, but in any other social media that allows you to post videos.

And if you really want to invest on it, buy an ads time on television hehehe

you should not think about promoting before these:

the first step is having a website that people "want to visit" i don't know much about yours but your name suggests it is listing ways of earning bitcoin since it is "earn bitcoin" and you say "it is a directory of sites". so in case you are listing real sites and posting links to legit sites and always watch and exclude the scams then it can be good. and people will come themselves.

another first step is a good design, it should load fast and have a good look and no or so little ads (non intrusive)

then as your second step you should look into SEO which is a huge world for itself.
and meanwhile you can start advertising on advertising networks (even google ads depending on your budget and your project) and also you can advertise on the forum here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1638614.0) or the common cheaper way with signature campaigns.

Apart from signature campaigns, you can consider referral campaigns as well.
Most websites have some sort of referral campaigns, where users who promote referral links and ensure sign ups/clicks are rewarded.

All suggestion is good and really effective to gain more traffic in advertisers site but the question is, does they have money allocated for advertisement? Can they afford to pay people to promote their site? I think the main issue here is money, if they doesn't have that well he cant get great exposure and if they plan to advertise for a little while i think this is not a great idea since people can forget easily if the site advertisement is gone.

Facebook
Twitter
Instagram


What's your first choice?

Here,my 1st choice must be Facebook, 2nd choice going for twitter
I think so far,You should be going a social media campaign like this threads
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1563072.0

Hope you surely benefit from this that i thing it's a best ideas to promote any website.

some really great ideas!

Posting these topics in the forums about Bitcoins are already advertising their project. The more similar to those on the forums the more visitors to your site. I've been seeing your topic went to the site and looked.

And the most effective and fast Advertising- referral system.

Before promoting your site you must focus on the content, if you don't have good or useful content your visitors won't come back to your site, and try adding something special to it which is unavailable in other sites, then you can promote it on twitter or facebook or crypto forums.

I have always had good results promoting a bitcoin-related service on bitcoin ad networks like Mellowads.

Just follow the tracks for those sites who habe been successfull for advertising and yet gain more popularity to people but also you need to have some big funds to sustain it for such a long time ahead or maybe aslong as you can so you can see the excellent result, and sig campaigns,twitter campaigns, blogs ad sitea might gonna help you for that. And also giveaways might gonna help to attract people.

You can try some of these:

-Study some SEO techniques and apply it
-Use a pay per click internet advertising (Ex. GoogleAdWords)
-Adding some contest/freebies/giveaways/Affiliate Program

Or if you want you can also promote your site here in bitcointalk just by:

-Posting an announcement of your services
-Making a signature campaign  (Cost a lot)
-Making a social Media campaign

Nice ideas!

This is  the most  important thing  to consider  if   you have  plans  on  marketting   your site up on  different forms but i assume that   OP have the  money though hence hes asking already  on how   to promote the site  , we still dont  know   if  he has  the  money allocated for  it or  none.  Marketting  on a certain site would be very  important so that  they would be aware on the existence on your website and could  able to give potential profits on you  on the long run. Better  to lend  some  budget on it rather than nothing at all.

Awesome!

The best ideas on promoting you website:
   Put your promoting website to the right place in this forum like in Announcement Section
   Must be attractive to the eyes of the viewer
   If it is an online game or game website, better put it on games and rounds or in gambling
   Make some giveaways :) if it game
   The content must be informative.
Make an social media campaign ( that's one way here in the forum - what we called signature campaign but you will release enough btc for that)
Try to promote it to faceboook, twitter, instagram or any social media account that you have.
Try make some exchange on visiting your site like other is doing.

Anyway, good luck to your promoting your site. Hoping for its success

If you want to advertise in this forum, then you can go with signature campaign, social media giveaways, and give some free bitcoins to promote your site and give some bitcoins to join your site and help you for that you can give the bitcoins as service charges.

for other places you have to take the professional service which will guide you much more professional

Go social, get a Facebook page and a Twitter account, get great content, schedule the posts, then start promoting. That's how you get the wheels rolling.

There are so many ways to advertise a site. Social media like facebook, twitter or instagram are good for advertising because theres a lot of people are using these sites. Also if you want to adverstise here, you should create a signature and avatar campaign. You can choose ways thats suits you. But i suggest hire a campaign manager here.

 My thought is implementing a faucet on your site, it will drive more traffic to your site in on time.

You are here men try to look up, this is the furom where mostly all bitcoin users go, and you can do advertising here there's a lot of ways you can do that here but expect it can cost you a lot since advertising cost is not cheap, and you really need that so your business well get traffics and gain success but totally its 50-50 situation since anything might be go wrong if your ad strategy well fail.
