Bitcoin Forum

I must say a very big thank you to all forum members because I have learnt a lot from their different opinions however, am still not stable on the part I should actually stick to Trading I ask about most of the responds are discouraging about losing funds high risk and all the rest in Marketing aspect I find out that most of the IEO/ICO turned scam in most cases. The question is I really picked interest in Trading but my intention was to work as marketer/Promoter and get paid in the crypto industry but based on different opinions and some research I can't really tell which of the above will be suitable. I really need opinions here thanks.

I think you should start doing something. Try to engage in marketing/promotion and trading at the same time, read a lot of information, learn and progress. Too many questions, just start doing something.

If you already have capital, I think you should just choose to trade, because it is clear that you can produce if you really know how to trade. But if you can't read the market and don't have capital, you can follow the bounty or airdrop and choose which is good and can pay by analyzing it first. At the beginning I jumped into the crypto world to become a bounty hunter and from the bounty I got capital to trade until now.

Trading is more profitable then become a promoter. One thing that you should know, to gain money in any way you will face a risky thing, you won't ever be avoid it. At least you have to know the strategy in order to you will be comfortable to decide anything when you trade. The capital thing you can spend a little money first.

Being a promoter you can do simultaneously because it doesn't need a long time to make a thread/review/comment or everything related to it. But you just need a broad knowledge, don't you forget there are a lot of project who end up in scam so as you need to know it and you have to make an analyst when you choose a project.

It's easy, Do the trading if you have enough money. And if you have no money to invest then join bounty campaigns that you think will pay off and once you get paid you can invest it to get you started in trading.

But nowadays it's hard to find a bounty campaign that will actually pay you, so you can even find other things like freelance jobs that can pay you in bitcoin. You can also use your skill to find costumers who will provide you with a job.

Working as a marketer or promotor is the best, you do not have to worry about the income because you get money from your work while in trading you will get money if you make a profit and there is a risk losing the capital. And working as a marketer allows you to do the trade too, it is win to win solution for me. Do not make trading as your source income because it is unstable and the earning depends on the market situation.

Find work that already has a value, not an ICO or IEO, check here there might be something that suits you: https://crypto.jobs/

Are you good at trading? I think if it's steady, do it. If you receive too many suggestions, it is also not good for your mental. I think you can do promotions too during trading sessions. Because it doesn't need a whole day to trade and you can access anytime anywhere with your phone. The results of the promotion can later be a backup of money for you too. Because trading is not entirely you will continue to profit, there must be a loss period.

I bet being promoter is hard too as bounty hunter many will not earn unless the project succeeded. If for bounty managers they might get  a amount every month but if the project failed or get scam people or participants will lose trust on you. It might be good in profit but as long run and by not studying what you market or promote it will have a bad effect. Depending on our skill both can be done as trader and promotion.

Marketing or promotion you mean like a community manager for a certain project or a bounty hunter, perhaps?
If you're good with something like that, you could try contacting the team regarding bounty manager or the like or join some bounties.

True, with how ups and downs the market are, it's better not making it your main job. As for the risk, everything is risky if it involves money.

If you dont want to take a risk or dont have enough money, better to start with working as marketer/promoter. Beside that, you can learn how to trade until you think its enough knowledge and start trading. its up to your passion.

I will tell you to follow what you really wanted to do in this crypto sphere. If you wanted to work as a marketer/promoter then do it. Why are you asking people's opinion? If I say that do not engaged your self because you are not going to earn money?

But for me, you should stick on to something that will really make you happy here. Marketing is not that easy but if that is your goal and that is your dream so go for it, just saying.

actually depends on the adjustment, if you are able or have a lot of capital, in my opinion it is better to invest / trade. need to remember the greater the capital you trade, the greater the risk you burden.

Being a promoter or a bounty hunter is very easy, even this is the smallest risk / there is no risk, it's just that if you are not paid it is a waste of time in my opinion, this year the scammers have mastered this trend, different from 2017. So look for a project which is really real. Promoter work is very easy, even can be done at the same time when there are other jobs.

If you want to be a marketing / promoter you must have expertise first, because it is not easy if you are already professional in his field I am sure you will be contacted by the team to be a marketing crypto and industry, but if you are still a beginner I hope you try it for trading it would be better for you with minimal capital to be able to trade with profits every day.

the first is capital then knowledge, if you already have capital you can trade with large volume coins and in large exchanges like Binance, provided you already have a basic knowledge of trading. if you have no knowledge at all about trading it's not a good idea, but it is your right, I personally only advise that you do not lose money quickly.

Marketing and trading are completely different things.

I'm doin marketing at this moment. But I can say that trading is much more profitable. But to be able to trade you need to have a good analysis ability. To make money in the short term, marketing makes more sense, but in the long run, you can make more money by trading the money you earnt.

It's best to engage in both trading and promotions (bounties) if am to suggest, do not put all eggs in one basket. If you keep on procrastinating, you will never do anything tangible. Also, if you get discouraged to start, due to other people's experiences, then you are getting it all wrong. Some people will tell you that bounties no longer pay for example, yet they are wearing a signature, do you think they are fools? In essence start from somewhere. For trading start with little funds, don't go big from onset so that you will learn from initial mistakes. For promotion/marketing be sure to do thorough research before embarking on any.

difference between the two is clearly very far away ,trading must be capital but vice versa with marketing/promotion ,all of it must be along with mature knowledge so you must persevere with this ,my advice you just try to promote while learning what is trading anf all about knowledge

trade, I still recommend trading for you. although learning crypto trading is no easier than a promoter / marketing. but it's good that you learn the crypto trade. the reason is, your time, your money, and the project you are promoting.
- You just waste your time on promotion
- I think, current promoters are not good, a lot of participation is not paid from it.
- I think the current project is bad, there is no ICO project to rely on.

Go where your interests are and not where all the money are, you can actually make profit and money on all three, but you will find it hard when you try to do something within your limit, go check your strong point and, and integrate any that will make you money, it doesn't have to be the popular one.
If you are good at analysis and can develop insight go for trading but you need a lot of time following the trend, if you are good at pitching and composing slogan and marketing materials go on marketing, as long as you can focus you will be successful.

Work has never been so easy from the start, do not work if you think it is too hard. About wasting time that was why I suggested him to work with something that already has a value or working in an existing company that offers him crypto as payment. You can find different sets of jobs here: https://crypto.jobs/, from marketing, developer, linguist.
do not work in an ICO or IEO project because right now it will only waste your time.

if you want to dive into the world of trading then you have to be prepared to lose, because trading there is a risk that is altcoin / coins that we buy dumps, but now there are many on the website to learn trading and it's free, or you can also go to someone in your country to learn from it but we must look for teachers who are experienced too. but I suggest you can search the website about trading and if you have difficulty you can discuss in the forum https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=8.0

I think you can take both of them, if you have enough capital and have lots of partners / relationships to promote the project. But it must also require sufficient expertise and experience, be able to bring interesting projects so that investors are interested in investing and can convince investors

Great, I have startup capital but not much I think I need to start something the questions and opinion so far can really do me good in the industry thanks all for taking out time for answering my many questions.

I know fully well life is all about risk but its better to learn something's from other persons experience with the respond here I can say that I can go for both Marketing/Promotion and Trading at the same time. I know too much questions is not to good but it has really helped me a lot. I will kicked start as soon as possible.

Do not force yourself to trade if you do not have enough knowledge about trading. Trading is not simple as you think and it is better if you know a lot of strategies before you make an investment. It seems that working in marketing department is suits to you and it is better if you will just find a project where you can get profit from promoting it in the market.

I prefer join bounty programmes to test my luck, because it is very hard to find a perspective project nowadays. However, I am really bad in trading, so actually, I do not have a real choice, so I just promote most interesting projects.

so simply if you have the capital and are ready to accept every risk you take in this industry, then do it including the trade that you want to do. but my advice is to use small capital for the prefix. I used to be the same as you always fail and lose money, but I learned a lot in this forum and several other sources about crypto and finally I started to know how to get profits including investing or trading.

actually, do that two option is good. you take promotion and you can trade with your promotional salary.
now, its difficult to find good ico/ieo. you need to more selective when you want to promote it, not all project give you good profit. but you can hain more profit from trading. and day trading recommended than hold coin for long time.

Get try to be a promoter while trading. This is an easy task if you don't have other things to do, if you're passion to be like that, then follow your passion and if you fail with that, get back to trading.
But if you can't see it at the moment that you can't make it as your bread and butter, just simply support it with another activity. Time management is the key for this if you are confused what to do.

Trading carries risk and you can lose alot especially if you are not discipline to be a trader, as for marketing you have nothing to lose except the time and skills that you invested into the project promoting and marketing it. I will advice you to combine the two if you have the time, because not many ICO/IEO are coming out to raise fund now unlike the 2017 period

I do not think you have to choose either. If you do not think it is gonna be hard for you, you should choose both. Consider trade as your main business and promotion as an additional. Because, if you have enough experience, you can not get more money than trade provide. And the promotion is to avoid wasting time without thinking about the money you will earn.

I think become marketing or promotor is best choice for your condition at the moment. You need more knowledge im crypto. Trading is hard working, its not about buy or sell, it will take your money too.
Earn more money with your job first, while you can learn about trading with using small balances only, like $50 to understand how market work.

Looks like you are still undecided. Let's start calmly and don't be in a hurry. First, you must determine your passion, understand your abilities, thus making it easier for you to learn deeper and develop abilities. Most ICOs and IEOs have been misused by fraudsters, but if you choose a trusted project and exchange, with a good trade record such as Binance, Okex, Kucoin, Huobi, it increases your chances of making a profit, besides that a reliable exchange will not be arbitrary accept cooperation for IEO to protect their good name.
Trading will also be very profitable if you are able to analyze the market to the maximum. An analysis is needed to determine the right buy and sell position so that you can take profit. The key is learning and experience.

Master the art of trading, trading is far more better than investment or marketing any product. Part of your trading funds can be invested at some point when you have made profits. Marketing gives no guarantee of profit in returns as well as promotion trading gives you chance to decide what trade to take and what not to.

Getting paid from promoting and marketing projects to me is the best way to earn crypto. That way you can only lose the time you put into it and not your money in the case of investment gone bad, although they say time is money but I'd rather not get the full value of my time than lose and already made money.

If you haven't money to trade or equal money to trade you shouldn't do it. Because only trading and investing can't be a main source of your income. You can work as a freelancer then you can participate in top IEO or start mining Bitcoin and Ethereum.

I think we can do both marketing and trading. Trading should not require a long time because if we already understand market movements, sometimes it only takes less than 1 hour to take strategy. So in my opinion, you can do marketing and trading simultaneously, but we must realize that trading is also a high risk

I am a regular just a hunter and promote another person's project which is really good. Maybe you didn't choose the project as it should, therefore, you were hit by a scam at all times.
The funds I get from them I use to trade to take a second time in order to get maximum profit. But the losses will surely come anytime and we should be prepared it is the risk of trading and not being paid is the risk of being a promoter.

The first thing to think about is what potential you have right now. If you are an expert in marketing / as a promoter then do it. Don't feel like jumping into trading if you don't understand trading, it will only hold you back. Being a promoter and marketing bounty program will make you learn new things and can earn money from the bounty campaign.

maybe you can be an ICO or IEO promotion, and you can also become a trader, but in that case you have to learn a lot where ICO and IEO are a lot of scammers, and you should choose a promotion that is not scammers, if for traders maybe you can start from IEO

You can do both if you really want both. You can trade at the same time market a certain project or product. I guess marketing in this sense is writing articles about it, or creating an informative or educational video or a sort of a guide about a certain product, or even meeting people and discuss the features or details of a project. I think you can still have time left to pursue trading if you wish to. It is all about time management. We can always jumble things the way we want it.

Actually we also earn money from promoting and trading at the same time.
If we're expert at trading, we could join a discussion in a trading section in this forum while using a signature for promoting a program or a project. So, we can share and increase our trading skills while we earn money too

I still do both, dividing time for both is easy because the two are interconnected so exploring promotion information and trading can be done simultaneously. Now I do not recommend you to do marketing / promotion, as you know most projects fail, this will only waste a lot of your time.

Why not do both? It's not like marketing or trading will require your 100% attention like a full time clerical job. With trading you can have a monitor open in the background and you can watch for big market movements while you work on some marketing/promotion gigs.

You won't be earning much as a marketer/promoter tho, and I believe what you are referring to is doing "bounty campaigns." Not very profitable, or stable at all.

Well, if you want to do marketing/promotion of one exchange the best way to go is affiliate programs, almost all big ones have some sort of affiliate program where anytime you bring in a trader they will give you a share of the trading fee that person does. I have done that with binance when it first came out, of course it was a gold mine back then because people weren't registered to binance just yet but I still managed to get few good traders that still makes me money to this day.

In the end, if you can actually promote your affiliate link properly and get people sign up then you have a life long income, some people may leave but new ones will join and as long as you have some whales you will be set for life. All you need to know is how to advertise your link to right people.

definitely being a participant in a bounty campaign is less risky than being an investor in the same ICO / IEO. but you can’t just work in one direction. you need to learn how to work in several ways

You could do both like if you think that you can manage it together. If you like to be on the promotion side of the industry more, it will be good because there will be a lot of theoretical knowledge to be learn. Meanwhile in trading, the practical experience will be your teacher. If you are being discouraged by the news and current state of the maket in trades, it will be a sign that you are not yet ready for the risks and emotional baggage of trading. Better to stick on your comfort zone and decide tomorrow whether you will like to be a trader.

Many suggest here that you can do both and that is because when you invest on a project, being part of the promotion of it helps not just the project but also the chances of yoy gaining more in the investment. It will be optimal to contribute some manpower if you think you can help and by doing this, you can also learn a lot more about the project and meet other people and their opinions about it.

actually you want to trade or want to work as a marketer / Promoter? . if you want to trade, make sure you have at least basic knowledge on how to analyze the crypto market, the price of coins, exchanges, your capital, and many other things.
but if you want to work as a marketer / promoter you must be prepared for all the risks that occur if the project that you follow, ends in fraud, you are not paid, the project is stopped and others.
these are all forms of risk and market challenges. if you are not ready with that, then you can invest safely using bitcoin.

if you have communication skills, you can try to become a local admin in the global community, you can apply to volunteer first, there you will be paid more than just a regular promoter.

it is better for you to research ieo projects compared to ico, especially for projects in the binance forum incubation. many potential projects that can be researched, and can contact their development team directly. You can also trade at the same time and focus on affiliate programs. don't give up on taking every opportunity you have.

I think that you need to work as a marketer, because trading is too risky and as a marketer you can earn more than traders.

I think you should stick in trading if you believe in your skills as a trader,
But they are right trading have a risk and your money is on the line there unlike in marketing/promotion.
You only invest your time and your effort but most of the project nowadays is a scam.

I think you should treat this like hobby. Do what you' like to do. Both trading and bounty are profitable enough if you are a professional here. But to become a professional you should love this job.

Not everyone is suitable for trading because trading requires analytical skills and also patience to get profit. For some people, trading may be profitable but actually there is a tough process that they go through

If you can do both at the same time why not utilize your time. Trading is full of risk and you might need some money for you to trade from time to time. You can also do your part-time job while trading since it is not really necessary that you have to spend your whole day trading. Maximizing your time and income opportunity will be able to make you earn more profit than focusing on just one.

You can do both of them at the same time.

In trading, you don't spend most of your time trading unless you are a scalper which is you need to watch the charts every minute or hour depending on your trade style.

In marketing, you don't spend most of your time there too. Just post something on social media sites or speak to other people regarding the product you have and that's it. Either way, just do both of them to have 2 sources of income.

actually not as difficult as you think, for me trading has become my hobby every day I always do this side job besides hunting tokens. the most important thing in trading depends on your intentions, your beliefs, your emotional attitude control, your initial capital, the coins or exchanges you want to use, and the important thing is not greedy.

First of all, you must determine in advance the interests you like. In my opinion, Trading is a challenging activity. But not everyone can succeed in trading. Because many things must be learned before trading. To be sure, you must be prepared to lose money when trading.

If you want to do trading then learn it first because you may lose all your funds if your knowledge is not enough on how it works, its easy to trade but when to know the right time to buy and sell is the hard part. About marketing or promotion you can start doing bounties here for free and get paid in tokens but it's not guaranteed.

The important thing here is he needs to learn more about trading so he can trade well like other people, and he can make a profit in the short term or long term. But if he wants to promote the project, he needs to realize that now many projects become a scam and run away the money they've got from the investor. So that will not be advisable if he still promotes the project while he can still make a profit from trading.

If he can learn some basics lessons of trading, he can slowly make a profit depend on the market moves. And now, we are in the changing trend from the bear market into the bull market, and I think his profit will be bigger if he continues to learn about trading.

What you need to know is that trading has a high risk, you can become rich and poor in the world of trading. If you are not ready for that risk, I suggest you become a promoter, for example, being a bounty hunter. Bounty hunters do not have a significant risk.

I think you should focus on trading because all we know that it is profitable than promoting. And I think trading is more safe and secured rather than promoting because there are so many scam project that you will encountered now in promoting so you will waste your time. Unlike in trading you don't have any superior that you need to follow. Only you need to do and to follow is to have a good strategies and plan.
