Bitcoin Forum

Hey guys,

more and more I see ICO which are being conducted without even mentions on Bitcointalk. How do this ICOs are attracting investors and from where are they getting all the investors?

Does anyone have an Idea about it?

Greetings!

I think many ICO's are advertising through the ad networks ,popular crypto news sites like cointelegraph, coindesk and google ads. I have seen many ICO advertisements in cointraffic popunder adnetwork which I havent seen in this forum. But its better to open a thread in this forum about the ICO , so that people will have the impression that its genuine and their ICO will turn into a hugh success.

I agree. I'm relatively a newbie and came here hoping to find in depth discussions and help on ICOs but there seems to be so much noise on all the threads that it just feels impossible to find right people, get some feedback and genuine info.

Unless you're a core member of this community it makes life very hard for anyone like me and start doubting if this is the right place to do a serious announcement or learn.

 

yes i agree with you dude, there are many discussions just talking something that always repeated question,

I advise you to keep trying to post new threads and/or get a thread pumped that covers your questions to spread it. But I totally agree the forum is huge, million of posts and do not forget there are people getting paid to keep some threads on top....

Everything needs time here.. especial building up your member status, as lower it is is and lower the amount of responses tho. But this happens by all big forums, not only on bitcointalk ;)

Example: My company has posted  two early stage project https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2129844.new#new (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2129844.new#new), still not even 1 reply or comment because my member status is too low to attract attention of right people... so gonna need to find some supporters first... and that will take time tho....

Sup buddies,

not intervening your conversations here but this isnt the right thread to discuss such matter because those post can really be considered as an irrelevant and might be erased by mods. You can make anytime a thread regarding on your doubts on the credibility and the resourcefulness of this forum. I cant deny that those things you do said was true.

Going back on topic, Most ICO got their investors in any parts of the internet which have been redirected by those ads that do scatter on forums,social medias,blogs,articles. Traffic do comes in anyway.

Some finding investors in RL on first place. Once they got a starting fund they are more independent and I agree that there are more and more using social platform advertising or search engine advertising to attract token buyers.

Thanks for the heads up, didn't intend to disrupt the original post intent so really sorry if it came across that way.

There are a lot of money in circulation, from all over the world, many rich peoples or people who trying to be one of them.
And, sometimes people just confuse where to invest their money, or just want to diversify it into different objects.
With all of those money, no wonder ICO could get so many investors and huge funds involved.
But, the main thing is; people know which projects will be beneficial and worth to invest.

Ya i read a lot in bitcoin magazine, twitter and other bitcoin sites. Theres a lot of bitcoin sites they can advertise. 

Though bitcointalk is the biggest platform of crypto enthusiasts, there are some relatively small platforms too. Perhaps the icos we don't see are experimenting the other platforms. Also they may be using peer to peer promotions with large database of emails connected with digital currencies. I have seen some of them using social media promotions directly and also using AdSense.

There are many secrets attached toward the success of any ICO but the bad news here is that nobody will like to share his/her best secret with you.

I know that this involves a lot of advertisement on various platforms and countries.

From what I see, mostly succeed ICOs out there advertising their brand through google ads, twitter, and facebook campaign, also Bitcoin related sites. But I must confess that the best way to advertise your coin is on this forum by held signature campaign or buying ad space. The major factor to attract investors is how unique your project is, yup it depends on your project, nowadays people are more selective to choosing ICO as their investment, On the other hand, I see some success ICOs which I never saw on btctalk before, I don't know how they promote their ICO.

 I am also confusing about ICO advertising. the media campaign needs some talents and networks. Really hoping right talents have brilliant ideas. Good luck to you as well.

There are many customized advertising methods. Some of these are Google Adwords, Facebook and Bitcointalk ads. Of course, the ads are not limited to these. Bitcointalk signature campaigns and various CryptoCurreny blogs are also advertised.

Also among these advertisements, the Bitcointalk signature campaign is also influential. Because the biggest bitcoin platform is Bitcointalk.

I've been in the team of a lot of ICO's and we have tried hundred different types of advertising. But by difference, the best option is sponsored influencing or blogging. Just give a famous blogger or influencer a 0.5% of the tokens and he'll do it with pleasure. Good Luck!! :) :)

ICO projects place information about themselves on the ICO trackers. This source is one of the most effective, so take it. Here is one of the latest trackers - Smart Tracker http://ico.blocktech.agency

99% of ICO never carry out there glamorous hyped idea. Everything is just marketing. Look at what is happening in China now even US. I think is better to create a mineable coin to ICO

The ICO get the investor from different parts of social media's and onhere! But the ICO companies should bring some good platforms and project plans so that investors will be willing to invest there money. And particularly Those ICO who's not been mentioned on bitcointalk are maybe stayed on reddits or any sites where out of reach on bitcointalk.

Running ICO is having your credibility put up on a display.
All the people you know in the cryptocurrency sphere that can vouch for you is a big plus.
All your projects that you have delivered previously is a big plus.
When you have high credibility the word of mouth will do its thing.

Bitcointalk is probably the most popular platform but some ICOs have huge institutional investors backing them.

Hence, these ICOs don't place much importance on advertising.

Investor come from several sectors , can be from social media, this forum, in blog articles even from video.
 before investing they certainly read in detail what the mission vision of a project on white paper.
Developer usually Will give more bonus to investor for get more attention.

Bitcointalk isn't only the place on which it does have potential investors but there are lots of places on internet which a certain ICO could able to pull up an investor as others said here either they would get on crypto-based blogs, sites even on social media cryptocurrency traffic targets and lots of more as long a project do have a budget for marketing then there would really be no problem but this forum itself can really give big contribution to get investors.

Still more of bitcoin sites they can advertise.

ya, there are so many ICO advertisement here but fact is some are giving irrelevant comment and posts here so that newbe could not understand. so i suggest for easy comment that every body can understand.
Thanks.

No bitcointalk doesn't work as a sole source of advertisment for an ICO even during the times of LISK it was already "little " only to have a good thread but now it seems totally irrelevant.
It just doesn't make a difference

Yeah you're correct since Coinmarketcap,Facebooks ads(not campaigns), and Youtube advertisement is so good on advertisement remember there so many failed project who's been relyin on bitcointalk sig campaigns and other inside the furom advertisement. And most like those coin who's relying only on bct is a scam coin.

Perhaps the most successful ICO, they promote it in all the social media they see very crowded in use by the community and not only that, they have long prepared a good and interesting concept, so that all investors see the seriousness and development of ICO, That's where investors start to invest part of their money.

No not all of them are Scam but usally they are not "profesional" enough. I mean remember LISK I don't think they did anything else than bitcointalk. And succeeded.

Judging by your current HelpTap topic, I think you are already convinced of the opposite :)

ICOs that don't make Announcements thru Bitcointalk, and don't run Bounty campaigns already have potential investors that just buy all of their token within the first couple of hours. Many money laundering schemes are conducted thru ICOs.

From my experience, 40% of the bounty campaign participants end up buying your coins.

They have other community medias to spread icos. Further more, they needn't attract all the investors, only a part of the investors is enough.

Yeah but who is nowadays even investing in ICOs ?
