Bitcoin Forum

First, I did not know where else to put this thread so I hope this is the right section as this is about bitcointalk afterall.

So how does one become a campaign manager? And importantly, how does one runs a signature campaign?
Please if any campaign managers could answer, that would be great.
Thank you

I think you need time and be always active once you run a signature campaign and become a campaign manager also i think there's no way how to become campaign manager just asked people here in forum that have a good project and wants to create signature campaign and that you can apply to hanlde her incoming sig. Campaign

Plss correct to all campaign manager if im wrong

You're on the right track since bitcointalk meta covers all things about the forum which includes signature campaigns.


1. You must have your own client for the campaign that will trust you as a manager.
2. Knowing what is spam and not spam post.
3. Have knowledge in using docs/spreadsheet (for campaign report).
4. Have astounding qualities like being patient (in reading participants post), punctual (giving out reports to your client and to the participant on time) and having good judgment (prior in certain cases).


Well, I haven't run any campaign so all of the answers above are pure observations.

Good luck!

You don't know until now, really? You already joined in campaign which managed by one of the best campaign manager ;) Just look a bit more carefully how he does it.

As for requiremwnts, I think npredtorch already mentioned all. Here's a thread to wnlighten you about what people are lookin for a campaig manager or should I say what people like and wjat they expect to one:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1609687.0

You definitely need to have a lot of time. All it matters is that the signature campaign operators trust you to do a good job.
Plus definitely read up on the signature campaign guidelines posted by hilariousandco.

Participating on signature campaign and managing campaign are different story if you bother tho. You can't easily adapt what was the campaign manager usually do by just observing because there are so many different matters are discuss on private. Let's just wait a feedback from a campaign manager here just PM any of them. If we are lucky we can read some guide and tips here from PRO

Marketing ourselves  is the key for us to become a sig campaign managers here and also anyone can surely do that if they have will and guts to run and state theirselves on what we can do to handle their sig campaign nicely, But you should think also that becoming a sig campaign manager is not an easy job since there are certain scenario that they picked their own pocket to pay their participants since the owner of the sig where they advertise turn scam and run away without giving the benifits of his workers.

I saw this on meta and now on service discussion probably this is the right place for it.


When you got hired by a company that wants to promote their site with signature campaign. And sees that you've got exceptional managing skill and you are the most qualified person on it.


Getting the most qualified participants, checking daily posting of each participant if possible and making a spreadsheet for it.


I'm not and I don't have any experience on it but that's what you need if you want to be a signature campaign manager.

I am not a signature campaign manager but I have an idea after working with a number of managers. I think that person can become a signature campaign manager who is more active on this forum and who have more knowledge about this forum and maintaining the rules of forum and the campaign. So people will know you as a famous and better person for running their signature campaign.

There is absolutely no criteria to be a signature campaign manager.If someone wants you to manage his campaign, you are good to start as signature manager.
There are many signature campaigners who run there own campaign.
Although one is expected to have good understanding of how to count posts,calculate payment according to post,update spreadsheet.
Having a good reputation is an additional bonus.

Experience and trust

Experience is essential things since you need to be selective and able to handle spammer
Being campaign manager doesn't looks easy as it seen because you need spare time between forum and real life

Trust is build from zero and need process since company start looking on trust before try to hire campaign manager ( this part is hardest, IMO )

I strongly believe that trust and experience is the main thing to be a campaign manager and as you mentioned trust or gaining it would be the hardest part since it can't be obtained on short period of time which it would really takes time for community or company owners would trust you.theres no actually harm on trying but remember the competition is very high regarding on this position.

Trust and experience is really key being a manager. Though what I hate about this kinds of requirement for a job is that only trusted and experienced people can join. No chance for new players. I see this in the real work too often. Jobs require 2 years experience. Every single one of them. So how does someone get experience when the main requirement is experience itself.

Since you obviously don't know the answer even by any idea then no sense to asked that. No offense but it's obvious and thinkable how to become one of the campaign managers. There are lots of ways even you don't need to seek some guide from the campaign managers. :P

Experience? Nah how about the new managers? Does they have already experienced to manage campaigns since they are new?

Trust? It's an obvious thing but there are collaboration between new manager and a company so how will trust be applied to that?

The answer is, explore. LOL. 8)

I think being a manager and running a campaign is easy. It's not a job that requires a lot of knowledge or experience.
If you want to became a manager the only thing you need is a company that will trust you enough to give you the job. Asking around might be a good idea, because if the company decides for themselves to advertise on bitcointalk they will give the job to one of the working manages. If you want it you have to approach them first.

I think you can be a campaign manager if you are offering it on service section.. and i think start a free like other people who started it for the first time if you running a good campaign as you are the manager just hope that more project will come until you add for a donation or a fee as campaign manager..
Or if you are find any company or website owner that needs more impressions in this forum just offer your self. just like you are applying as a worker if they accept you can start as campaign manager..

To become campaign manager the most important you should have a good trust, because it is impossible someone will trust you to manage the signature campaign if you do not have good trust. In addition you must be able to manage and run a signature campaign in full. If I look to run a signature campaign was not too hard and not too easy. The most important thing is always active and have more time to run a signature campaign and confirm the payment amount. Maybe to me like that, I can not explain in more detail because I have not been a campaign manager ;D

I think this is simple to be campagin manager if i happend with campagin manager weekly i will check how many post each person doing.

I will say trust is the most important things if you want to be campaign manager, if you have the green trust it will be easier for people to believe you, the manager's job is not as easy it sound, you need to check your member everyday post and then settle the problem regarding to your campaign

Campaign Manager cannot be an easy job considering the time to filter all posts and ensuring prompt paying to beneficiaries I think it's going to consume a lot of time .

Bullshit. It is simple to become "a shitty campaign manager" is what you meant to say. A lot of services tend to be cheap, therefore they hire any random asking for peanuts as payment. No wonder some of these campaigns are riddle with utter shitposters.

@OP: Considering your history here and post quality, you shouldn't become a campaign manager. You need to work on yourself, not others.

Don't make me laugh man, being a signature campaign isn't just all about post counting. If you think that it is very simple then you should be hired by many companies and run out their campaigns. You should consider that the real deal is to monitor, update, create report for the owner and post counting is just on the last line.

I do really laugh on his statement regarding on its so easy to become a campaign manager,its easy as it sounds since you do really need to count the post but even that alone wont be simple you would really be good at excel skills and not only that you should really know the standard procedures on running up a campaign,there are lots of guidelines on becoming a good manager and you cant get or obtain it on a short period of time.Trust will be hardly build and no one would really select you if you are not reputable enough.

just be trusted i believe and be serious about your work, signature campaign manager are also payed well, perhpas it's worth it to get that work but what i don't like is that some of them enroll at will some users that are worse than other, i'm suspecting that some manager have their own alt enrolled in their own campaign, very unfair

Those are the characteristic of a shitty campaign mangers. Usually if they are doing these kind of things while running a campaign, they will evwntually be busted and never be given a chance to run another campaign. Personally I haven't encountered any campaign manager that does this in campaigns that are paying in bitcoin tho I don't know if I can say the same for campaign managers in the altcoin marketplace.

Managing campaign is really is the toughest job because they need to care of applicants and as well as payments. Because those who participated in the campaign didn't get payments on time means it will be a lot of headache to the manager. The manager should secure funding before starting the campaign otherwise, no one will believe them.

The manager should keep on updating to participants and as well as to the owner of the campaign who wants to run a signature campaign, manager task is a completely tough job, for that they will get paid but the manager should control all things.

The toughest job compared to what? A PR specialist also has to take care of applicants and usually has to do it not only by a forum but also e-mail and phone.
I assume those of you who say managing a campaign is a difficult and demanding job never worked as a manager in a real company. I'm aware campaign payments are much smaller, but you also aren't spending 8-10 hours a day at work, like real managers.

Someone's salty that they weren't accepted to a signature campaign managed by a good manager  ;D


There's plenty of campaigns that don't use an escrow, like the BitSler one I'm in right now. Payments aren't that hard, it's the post counting, deciding whether the post is constructive, accepting people, and dealing with complaints/disagreements is probably the hardest part.


Most altcoin campaigns accept everyone anyway, so it's not a huge deal.

Got it Sir, and thank you everyone else for their input.
I can understand its a tough work as you have to keep an eye on lots of stuff whether its your participants or your investors. So having a lot of time at hand is a must after you have enough experience and when you are trusted enough to get the job.
It was a good learning. Thanks again everyone.

Reputation is a big + and if you don't have enough trust upon dealing here i think you will get a hard time to convince some site to handle their campaigns, But believe me hardworks and guts is one of the key to became a manager but in the essence that you doesn't have a trust you can still hold a campaign but you will be under by an escrow's presence.

Everyone started with no trust at all and reputation at all. Even yahoo back then weren't trusted at all when he was just starting out. The only way for you to be trusted is to prove that you're trustworthy and don't even expect any positive trust from people that you transacted with. Just continue what you're doing despite the trust rating.

Most people that are just starting out in the service that they are offering offer promos or free trial. This will attract customers and at the same time it will save the customers some money. You shouldn't hold any money at first, though, because it will raise suspicion to most people.
