How, do you make your own research ?

do you mean classified ico's? I think no need to Research on internet bro or whenever campaign  that running in services (bounty)  There's a site now adays that provide all list of the ico's Try this  link here (https://bl4nkcode.info/ico_list)

Thank you for this link dude, it was really helpful. That site is a great way to guide investor invest on ICO's, and it is more convenient to use. Are all ICO's already listed on that site, or there are still some being left behind and didn't got listed? But even if, it's pretty good though.  :)

Search if the developers has good background with their previous projects,check the ICO has good product,check if the ICO has good investors or partners,check if they have short- long term plans.

you can start by searching first for upcoming projects and go through all of their websites. Usually you visit a website that lists all upcoming ICO's, these websites have links to the project's website and there you find the whitepaper and all the information relevant to what the project is about. If you like the main idea you can start reading the whitepaper and understand what the project is trying to offer or what issue it is trying to resolve, once you've read through everything, search if there are any competitors that are in the same industry as that project, and check whether there will be any future demand for that product in the future (you can check market trends) these are all extra stuff. Usually when an ICO is good you know within the first few minutes, and these are the projects you should focus on.

Look at the ICO project, see which is an interesting project, there are several ICOs in the market but few have good projects or a good structure so if investing in one with a good project can bring you good profits.

Analyze well before buying, try to find out how many coins will exist because if there are many of these currencies in the market the values ​​of them will not be very high.

And always be aware that there are many scams applied through promises of ICOs that will yield fortunes, so always be smart with these promising ICOs.

First of all, I will read the project’s white paper and use my rationale to evaluate the project.

For researching of information, I use LinkedIn and search engine to check on the team. You can use some government websites to check on the registration of company.

Official website/company info their White paper/Team involved in it, get information on the main people working behind it.

for the moment I am finding out about what is happening to this forum as there is a mystery behind all the projects at the moment and I think this really makes me curious.

Well, doing research on ICO's is not that hard, depending on how far you want to go with it.
Just start by using Google and LinkedIn to find more information on the team members, if you find very little to support the claims they've made on their ICO website, I wouldn't trust it.

If you want you can also contact them personally if you want to know more about their project, especially if you're looking to invest a lot of money.

Well, i put a list of questions first like :
is the web design great?
Are the developers legitimate amd real persons?
If they are, are they credible and skilled enough to be a developer that can manage amd administer a token/coin to become something that can be successful someday?
Is there a lot of traffic in the ann thread?
Does it have a great concept?
Great roadmap?
Great white paper?
And so on.

Then after making the list of questions, i starty research as fast as possible to never get left behind. I mever skip any question since it can meam a big loss if i become lazy.

Just sharing my ways. Hioe you can benefit from this.

One indicator nowadays is also Telegram group size/activity.

I would also consider token flow. If the token flow is completed(healthy ecosystem) and has possibility to hold/raise value, to prevent not selling over buying/holding.

Also business-model.. if it would be interesting for investors?

Its hard to know which one is good or best to invest.. since now they are tons of them. And even more are comming.

Like already mentioned the website of the ICO is the first step to start with. Look at the site notice and evaluate how trustworthy the whole concept is.
A big indicator for a good (or a bad) ico is how they plan to spend their funds. Not just how the token is distributed, but how much money has been assigned to
several next steps in their project. After reading their whitepaper and anything else thats on their website a personal meeting would be the best option if you
really plan to invest big into an ICO. You can't invest big into ICO without personally knowing the persons behind this project.

Begin with the developers, see if they're actually real people as scam ICOs put up fake profiles. Never trust any project with anonymous devs as its kind of like a recipe for disaster. Moving on, look at the outline of the project and judge for yourself if it can make reasonable impact. Going through the white paper will give you a decent idea. Check if there are similar projects that are contending with the one you're looking into.

This is solid information. I myself have been interested in finding out how ICOs work as well as researching some of the big projects that are happening right now. looking forward to diving deeper on the subject.

I think this is good thread for you to research ICOs. I am following this.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2243157.0

In researching an potential ICO it is important that you evaluate the whitepaper, road map, developers, managers, social media accounts, community and bounty manager if the do have reputable status it is also important to have know what rating does their ICO have from trustworthy reviewers but not all ICOs with good rating will get a good price after its token sale so bear that in mind. Along with it checking how the community responds to the ICO and getting involved with it is the best way to know if it will be worth it to spend you money or time to invest into it.

I will study the open source code of this project and the current demo by myself.
If the product is good enough, I think I will choose to invest in this ICO.

There is currently a lot of good ICO's on the market. ConnectJob is one of them that caught my eye and also Medichain. Look and start monotoring on Marketplace and Announcement section - there you can find goos ones.

First is there is a certain guideline that I consider in researching. And that is the verification of every information provided by a certain ICO provider.

Being transparent team is a must.

Second is you need to understand what makes this coin valuable in the near future (demand).

Third, what is he unique attributes of this coin which will stand above others.

Fourth, is there any product that this coin upholds?

If you answer all those question positive plus hearing some forum opinion, you will likely to end up in good investment.

The way I do my own research is that, I will do deep research about the team, their experiences, their talk shows, their interviews about the project, I will check the project they are build, their competitors, what makes them better, Is blockchain needed for the project, I will check their road map, token metrics and all these will form my research.

Well, you need to do some research in their background company, team profiles, advisors, and their planning in the roadmap.
More research about their project, their token supply and price, and some other stuff as a complement. This is aim to make you safe from scammer.

 yes I did research to participate in the ICO project. for the first step I was looking for which projects we would follow and go through all their web sites. whether they are good ICOs or not. or you can also search for information on social media whether the ICO is good. if you already find out the ICO rating because it influences us to be careful with the ICO that is scam

I study the development team of the project, the goals and the roadmap of the project. I evaluate the ICO's Whitepaper for that project

To begin with, I look at the ratings, then I’m already looking at the project and the team, and then I read their documents in more detail!

First of all you must visit site of the project and investigate team, their background, then you should note on investors and partners, if well-known funds invest to the project in the private sale, that shows that project got good support because funds are interested in helping of project with conferences, listings, etc.

I evaluated the website, development team, goals, roadmap of the project. I study White Paper, Assess Token of the project.

I did my research by reading any related sources about the project, their whitepaper, their website. After reading, I can analyze whether the project is potential or not. If it is potential then I will join the project, but if it is not then I will research another project.

ICO research also allows investors. Check ICO has a good product. Because the initial ICO coin offer is often very underpriced. Compared to the token price on the first day after release.

The standard programm mate: research the developers team, the whitepaper, they goals and steps on the way to achieve it. In most cases it's pretty much to understand what you are dealing with.

I use icobench, icorating, icodrops and This forum. I occasionally go to youtube to see which ICOs are being reviewed by popular crypto youtubers like boxmining. There are plenty of resources actually... the Internet is your limitation.

Depends, if you talking about investment i will read everything about that project in whitepaper. Then i will ask my friends about that project to compare my opinion with him, if i think this project is gonna be big i just invest my money to that project.

I start studying ICO with white paper and a website. This is 90% of success. I don't consider the possibility of investing in an ICO project where there are no developments, and this only raising of money. It seems to me that the project should come to ICO with at least a half-finished version of the product.

I only participate in bounty companies, so for me the most important aspect is the reliability of the bonus Manager, because a good bonus Manager will never contact the scam ICO.

The good ICO is hard to be found and researching takes a lot of time for this, I use some aspects that help me to understand the profitability of the project.

I always find them here because this platform is the most reliable and comfortable in using and people here are interested to participate only in the preferable ones.

First I look into the project carefully. Then I'm looking at voting sites. I'm look at the team and the road map later. I guess that's why I'm losing  :-[

Team and projects of the team members. Most of modern teams do not have enough expirience, so their ICOs fail pretty fast.
