This are  the easier way for new bounty managers to build up their reputation

1. Do your own research first on the projects before taking the job...  

Bounty hunters must do their own research on projects as well but it's better for BMs to do research too before taking any bounty project, remember, reputation matters, this is not 100% guaranteed that BM won't introduce bad projects but it won't be bad projects every time.

2. Learn to say no to bad projects even if they offer good money to you

Some bad projects can offer to pay BM in stable coin or BTC and decide to pay bounty hunters in tokens, I know, can be attractive but what about your reputation? Standing out among the rest is not an easy call, you have to take responsibility

3. Your bounty hunters should matters most to you, learn to hear them out.

I don't personally like bounty managers that are too full of themselves, too stubborn that they ignore advice from bounty hunters, it's not a good path for new bounty manager, sometimes you can easily learn one or two things from bounty hunters too

Hhm well you have a point, we have new bounty managers on this forum that aren't that good at managing a bounty campaign yet, we can actually tell them what to do to get things right at times, after I heard about what the BM of Oikos Project did with the campaign I was forced to PM the CEO himself, told him about the incapable of his BM and I'm glad corrections were done

It's not only the bounty manager of Oikos there are a lot of bounty managers that don't care about their bounty hunters bounty managers of Oikos are part of their team they are not independent, so they can do whatever they want, it's good that their bounty hunters are quiick to point the mistakes of their manager, bounty hunters should support bounty hunters because they are treated badly by other managers.

The only effective bounty manager for now in the bounty section is Bounty Detective, I was hoping there are other campaign managers like Arteezy but it seems like he is out of project at the moment. Unlike some random managers who are just dont care about participants. I see thr krypital management bounty.  It looks like they have some line up campaign for injective protocol but currently pause due to some errors. I dont know if their reputation is okay as their campaign is composed of eth payments.

I do agree with all of your points but can i tell you the real problem for the new manager to build its own reputation? it should be the new manager has no portfolios to be shown to the projects that who is willing to launch a bounty campaign. This is the difficult part that's not all of new manager can do that.

A lot of people don't care about their reputation, they want to get the money, and they don't necessarily say no to the projects, they pay the money and therefore they have credibility and I don't care if they are fraudsters or not.
Campaign managers are a job for a few members, that number should not exceed 10 or less, not everyone is necessarily a member or listening to them.
most of us does not check trust we are applying.

Arteezy is out of business for now, the last bounties I joined from him was Xcard and IAT and they don't work, it seems they are both scam projects, sorry to say but I think arteezy is out of business, I trust bubbalex more than any bounty manager right now

Bubbalex is one of the best bounty managers in this market, but this year I have not seen any new projects coming from him. It seems he doesn't see any really good campaign to bring it to the community

The last he handled was cartesi and really did a great job on this campaign. If ever I run out of campaign for btc paid, I'll definitely join him on his projects. It does not mean that just now he does not have any project he is not good anymore. I heard that he only accept legit one and there are many offers but it looks like dubious projects.

I agree with you OP, some of you said are right. There are managers just accepting projects for money and not because they are legit. As long as they got paid they will handle and promote it no matter the real status of the project.

I know that and as far as I know if spectiv was also a scam project too. It's also managed by him in the past and it looks like the scam projects have become the main reason why arteezy was going out form the bounty ecosystem. bubalex is a good bounty but is not it the result will always depend on our luck?

Generally, I don't understand why you make the guide for managers. They do know what they are doing.
Managing bounties are higher risky than campaigns that pay in bitcoin. It will be more risky if managers don't own tokens for payments before running bounties.
Bounties are paid in tokens, mostly.
As managers, they should be strict to manage their bounties, from my opinion.

His campaigns are good, but as far as I can tell they have very low budgets and each person doesn't get too much money when the campaign ends. So I never joined his bounty because it's not really worth the work

What you have said on number 1 and 2 are what's important,

We all know that you can say no in a certain project if you have done your own research about the project. Even if you can earn in btc (which us most likely the payment for BM), it is best to know yourself if the project is worth your time. They should have their own progress and a future that can be seen by everyone. And of course, in number 3, it is true. To be a great BM, hearing everyone's opinion is best to know their side. You can also learn many things by learning how to accept opinions of other people.

Agree with you, a lot of managers are not interested in bounty hunter. They were even annoyed when the bounty hunter posed any questions to them, and until now these people have stopped working because they are too unprofessional. Btw recently I saw Detective bounty, they are very professional and always interested in bounty hunter

True! A good bounty manager is the one who cares about bounty hunters and answers their questions. A good bounty project is the one that brings bounty hunters a good feeling (safe, professional, etc). We, bounty hunters, don't beg you for jobs. You offer jobs and we do it. Whoever thinks about bounty hunters as people go around beg for money can't be a good bounty manager! Remember that!

Agree with you, first and second are most important. I would say that the first one is more important, choose wisely your jobs and you will build a good reputation, somehow it means number 2, don't take money for dishonest projects, try to represent what is good. This is a good way to be recognized as someone who is honest and fair!

He is used to avoiding bad projects, way better than introducing nonsense projects that will ruin his reputation on this forum, I know not all bounty managers cares about their reputations but bounty hunters should care about BMs who want to keep their reputations

For some, reputation is always the top priority. They only choose the best projects to promote in order to increase their reputation. But now most managers only care about the money that projects pay them, if good enough they will receive it and regardless of the quality of the project.

Don't forget that bounty managers get the job for money, 90% of them won't care about any reputation, it's bounty hunters problem of they don't do research on projects before promoting them, bubbalex is just one of a kind bounty manager

I think we don't need much bounty managers here, even several managers who really have credibility and can be trusted by the most user in this forum is already enough. And that will be very good, so as the developer's project only ask to several managers and the manager can investigate the project carefully. I highly believe if this happen then there is no place for the scammer.

But now, I see many new bounty managers popping up and seem like that they are an old user and create a new account to avoid the ban if the project that he promoted end up in scam. I noticed, most project that eventually ends in the scam was managed by bounty manager who uses a copper member account. I didn't hear if there is a trusted manager or a manager who use legendary account who tries to promote scam project, because they won't risk his account.

Money makes the world goes around, it's not that easy to turn away from good offers, even good bounty manager can get tempted and even high reputable bounty managers do collect useless projects sometimes, not all new bounty projects from reputable bounty managers will succeed

Do you think the bounty manager of that Oikos which made the hunters crazy lately because they added 8 weeks?

They probably wouldn't be here to read this thread but yes there are tons of users who want to be a bounty manager. To be one good BM, he should really be like the best ones in the forum like Yahoo and Brainboss.

I think the major problem of bounty hunters is not developer or team but bounty managers. We have got too many greedy bounty managers in the forum and is really affecting the space, how I wish upcoming managers can learn to build a good reputation for themselves.

Reputation my foot, that's what's going on on bounty managers mind, you think bounty managers don't get paid even if the project they introduce failed? Bounty Manager's have the upper hand of getting paid than bounty hunters, they don't care, kudos to julerz12 and bubbalex, they are the most trusted bounty managers presently

Bounty Hunters mostly Lazy finding one,and most of the time they have no idea what to look at instead they are just looking about the amount of payment allocated and that is really stupidity.
This is must what Bounty manager attitude if they are really concern about their reputation and the participants but the problem is why would they need to look for every details if they are being paid instantly and care nothing about the coming problem?
as if manager will listen to you?if you are much better than the manager then best that you applied as manager right?

Yes I remember a bounty manager who got tagged very early of 2020 but that bounty manager was caught in some dubious acts with few of bounty projects from him, it's like he build those projects by himself and tried to lure investors and promoters, this is a different case

Would be good from the suggestion coming up from the side of experience each "Bounty Manager".

Not really easy to become a new bounty manager, you will have a rival with a high reputation, experience and portfolio. You can still be hired but paying with a token, probably 90% a scam project who need a bounty manager with the cheapest rate and can be paid by using their own worthless token.

Arteezy cares about his bounty hunters but lately 90% of projects from him are bad projects, don't know how to judge this, wapinter is a bit better this year and so far bubbalex hasn't released any new project this year too, bubbalex is the most reliable when it comes to quality bounty projects

There are still good bounty managers on this forum but you can't always choose projects without doing your own  research first even if the project is from top bounty managers, here are few bounty managers I respect

1. Julerz12
2. Wapinter
3. Masulum
4. bubbalex

arteezy bounty result in my opinion was not excellent, many of campaign ended in scam or have low value reward. many bounty campaign from him  have stagnant progress and only be waste in wallet.

bublalex maybe very selective to pick new bounty campaign,  based on his history in managing campaign he do the best for bounty hunter so we will received best result.

I agree with you in that opinion mate, But sometimes no matter how we are prepared, still shit happens, particularly in bounty campaigns. what I'm saying is that not all we wanted to happen will be granted, so it is better to ride with the flow to avoid stress, BTW, it is just a bounty campaign there's plenty in the forum to choose including trusted and quality bounty managers like Bubbalex Media, bounty detective, etc. 

I think bounty hunters should take responsibility themselves, bounty manager will try as much as possible to take any good tempting offers, either ways bounty manager get paid, bounty hunters should try to always avoid scam projects, it's our responsibility

Indeed, I agree that they are both reputable bounty managers even though I haven't try joining bounties because I was able to work with them in one of the sig campaigns they run before. Actually, julerz12 is my kababayan (fellow countrymen) and he is well known on our local board. So I can guarantee that you will not getting scammed once you enter his campaign :).

Just a simple tip for new bounty hunters out there. If you are choosing a bounty, don't only make a research on the project because sometimes the manager is the main problem. Don't forget to look at their portfolio or previous works so that you can determine how trustworthy they are.

From my perspective if bounty manager did a fantastic bounty campaign their reputation will increase and trustable. But for now only few bounty manager that i can trust. Like bubalex, wapinter, masulum & bounty detective is a good bounty manager.

Sometimes the problem from bounties are from bounty managers, whenever you are still considering a bounty campaign make sure you do research on the bounty manager involved

I think a variety of bounty managers have been created here, there are those who have the advantage to manage a program well and pay attention to all the rules given in this forum and there are also bounty managers who do not care about it, bounty managers only carry out their duties but must pay attention the protocol in this forum must be obeyed.

For me, Krypital is one of the best managers. But in these 2 years they haven't had too many new projects. Most recently they were doing bounty Injective but it was stopped for a while because there was too much spammer

all your words come from a bounty hunter position but you are not speaking as a beginner bounty manager. Now it is very difficult to start working with cryptocurrency projects if you do not have experience. And even more, good projects will never offer a person without experience to become a bounty manager

Yeah, all points are right on the money and i think all bounty managers need to emphasis on the 3rd point as i have seen in many bounties that after the campaign is over bounty managers just abandon the hunters and do not take responsibility regarding any conplains or token distribution rather they say ask the team directly this is really stupid attitude, come on you are responsible for the campaign till proper distribution is completed, you have to take care of bounty hunters otherwise no one will join your campaigns next time. Bounty managers need to learn some basic manners and ethics.

This is not the way, but this is the main procedure for receiving a bounty that will run.

These two points are what bounty hunters expect, but of course they will have a different moods when they are on the side of the manager when they get a good offer. With the difficulty of accepting the work of bounty management as it's now, insofar as the project has passed several investigations, consideration of reputation tends to be removed.

Managers will normally look for project that would really be a legit one because this will surely reflect out into their performance when he do handle up a bounty and turn out to be scam on
consecutive aspects then that will surely lost up trust and interest with most bounty hunters.If we do try to look for most known and reputable bounty managers then they do really have that high
chance of success on where the campaign do pay up but in talks of token value then it is out of their hands because all things will vary on the market demand itself.

New bounty managers are always tempted to accept projects with good pay. bounty management is a difficult task that is the reason why some great bounty managers might force to stop managing a bounty campaign in order not to tarnish their reputation. Some few managers that I know such as yahoo will rather accept managing paid services rather than bounty campaign that wont meet up with his own review

Paying in stable coin, ethereum or BTC is way good to protect reputation and preserve the value of the reward but we rather see fewer reward in those coins. More so bounty manager a different with negotiations and had shown in the size and type of reward
Being stubborn can be a personal assessment, hunters should learn to deal with some of their excesses like with bosses at work. I dont care as long as I get what I want as reward and good project from them

Every new bounty managers will surely do one or two things wrong in few new bounties they introduce, there is no problem in that, all we can do is put them through sometimes, not all BM are stubborn, some of them wants to learn

and finally they ignore project quality just to achieved their target good pay.  only reputable bounty manager and its amount very rare in this forum which is courage to stop managing campaign if they something wrong with campaign. they will have many indicators when accepting campaign.

Even you have such a good point, still we can't expect more to them since we are dealing in virtually. Our trust is involve in virtual matter to some we didn't know, this could be the reason why most of bounty managers don't care.

New bounty managers are understood to have committed mistakes in their first year of managing a campaign but as soon as they keep on working on a campaign, they will start discovering few strategies that will mold them into a better and reputable bounty managers. The best thing that a bounty manager should possess is he should be able to understand his bounty hunters and eventually learned from them too.

You wont really become a good manager if you dont know how to view those things. You should treat bounty hunters as a family
since they are the ones do give you out some work and treating them well is a must.Anything do start up from scratch and making
mistakes are inevitable and becoming a good bounty manager will only depends on how you do handle things up in a proper manner.
Always research for the best projects out there and decide on which one to be handled and which one should be rejected. Success
bounties will really reflect on how well you are into this area.

That's the problem when it comes to manager is wrongly picking up the scam project. So many people will have tagged it as a scam manager.

That happened so many times. I can't even count that even the trusted manager can get the scam project too. The trusted project will always choose the trusted manager too.

New managers are like that, some of them dont care and what matters are they get paid regardless if the project fail or not.

But reputable manager has concern and careful about the projects they will going to accept because it can reflect to their reputation.

Well, Money matters most to the most of the bounty managers that is why they are ready to promote any project if they are getting their payments in bitcoin or any other listed coins.No one cares about their reputation because they feel like they are at the end of ICO era so they are trying to make as much as they can.

money is the main enemy of humans and sometimes people will feel greedy and do not care about their reputation here, we have seen many bounty managers who finally stop to manage projects, that's because they have gotten enough money from some of the projects that pay the top coins but the project ends up being a scam . Bounty hunter is very disadvantaged here. in my opinion to build a good reputation is to always listen to complaints bounty hunter and always have the project token before starting the campaign

Well, that is the sad reality. As long as bounty managers are getting paid, their only concern is to manage and have their job done and nothing more.

It is true, what is also sad is there are only few of them that has a concern about the outcome of the project. That's why scam projects can't even decrease their numbers. Money is what really matters to most of them.

some managers may not care and only think about themselves, many of the bounty managers have failed or are no longer interested, because they always run scam projects.
so there are only a few managers who run the points you mentioned above.
if money talking people will get tempted. ;D

and thats destroy  their reputation as a manager, look at them now its hard for them to find a persons who will hired them as manager since they have a background of running a scam campaign which can also affect the program or project they want to introduce  to hunters

Hunters know who's manager is always accepting scam campaign and who's manager that always reviewing  a project before accepting .

I think that everyone turned their attention to the fact that most of the topics of the Bounty companies on the forum are printed on behalf of newcomers, that is, new accounts that have no rating. That is, it turns out that the real manager is hiding his name so as not to harm his reputation due to doubts about this or that project. It is very difficult to create and work on new projects in the current period, and even having analyzed all available information about projects, there is no guarantee of their future prospects. Many companies precipitate even before the first listing, so managers do not want to take risks in vain.

I just want you to know that many will sell reputations for money, the funny thing is bounty managers with bad reputations can introduce very good bounty projects, even bounty managers with red trusts, I'm not saying it's good to always follow tagged bounty managers but doing these people can take up any job opportunities, do your own research on projects first before judging who the BM is.

It is a very good idea to recount the Bounty managers who have been very bad in managing the project and they seemed to be designing only ideas that could not be relied on until the project ended because we always find a bounty project that could not reach the target that has been set before and your idea is very reasonable to continue to the managers.

You're right mate. Bounty hunters should matter to the bounty managers. This will make the BM to do everything within his powers to host quality campaigns and ensure hunters gets paid at the end. If a BM can say no to tempting management services payments by bad projects, hunters won't waste their time hunting for what will not pay them at the end. In all a BM should research, be able to say no and have hunters interest at heart.

True! I hope somebody can make a list of trustworthy bounty managers in the cryptocurrency market. By that way, when we do our research, we can easily identify a project is good or not just by looking at the bounty managers. Of course, considering a project requires a lot more information than just the BM's name. However, it can reduces our works if we see a trusted BM manages the project!

Yes, but not all managers are bad at managing projects, sometimes some of them are also deceived by the project team, causing the manager's trust in the eyes of the bounty participants to be bad, so think fairly and positively in this matter.

It's too difficult for BM to check for really good projects, not all good projects hold bounties and not all projects that look bad are bad. In fact, many projects were underestimated but they became extraordinary.

In my opinion, the important thing for BM to do is to ask for an escrow token in advance to ensure security that the bounty hunter is actually paid. Second is to distribute clearly and precisely, give reasons that really make sense and calm the bounty hunter. Because bounty hunters have worked and will get tired if they do not get paid immediately.
The third is to diligently update the spreadsheet, this is optional. If it can't be done every day then try when the campaign ends, the spreadsheet must be completed immediately. And the last is to make rules that are really clear and fair for all bounty hunters.

Actually anyone can be a projeck manager for new people or those who already have experience here. the most important thing is that they understand the mechanism of work and also work together with projects that are really good (Not Scam) with time over time they will be able to get the trust of the members themselves who judge you for performance

You really think so? Anyone? I think only those who have long experienced working as a bounty hunters, moderators, or even became part of an existing projects have an advantage cause they know how the job works unlike with those who qre unexperienced they will be having a hard time in real operation unless they will guided or helped by someone who is experienced with such work.

It's true, Most new bounty hunters tends to take the job when there's good money for it. But what's the reason to do that if that project is just a crappy one, Hell, even a scam. This can cause your reputation as a manager and that last payment will be your last. so take note of that. And also, there are managers out there that are just full of themselves. It's like us hunters are below him. Which means you just do it for the money and nothing else. If you want to be a manager, remember. Refuse to say yes on times when you know it's a bad project. And be humble, I feel like that's the trait that most managers lack on.

First of all it is really hard for a new bounty manager to get a task to manage a bounty campaign that is why new managers just accepts any offers without enough research about them and they will just add disclaimer statement so its people's decision to join or not in this campaign.

Most of the reputed managers rejects offers from bad projects but new managers....?

In reality who pays you matters to you the most. :)

There is no reason to bounty manager getting banned because of their project turns into scam one. Forum don't moderate any scam. May be manager will get negative tag. I agree that some people create new account to launch a not so good project but most of the managers use only one account because the more campaign they launch, the more weight get added in their portfolio which is good for them to get some more campaign management job.

some managers may ignore it, and only pay attention to the fees earned, no wonder many managers are labeled bad for this incident, and make the reputation of other managers come tainted.
Some new managers may have to look at this and consider before accepting a project to promote.

It all depends on the person himself. If he respects himself as a person, then his reputation as a manager will be more expensive for him than any money. A responsible person will thoroughly study projects and will not work with mediocre companies, only for profit.

Yes, that's right, and every manager must have different thoughts when holding a project, because managers who always respect themselves as individuals, certainly will not hold many projects, because during the last two years many projects that die and do not end successfully.

You made some good point here, I believe the manager is also responsible and need to be strict on verifying projects to manage because it will ruin their reputation at the same time they help to spread scam/fraud project which is not good. I guess the best manager in the forum right now is Hhampuz he often manage Signature BTC payment campaigns.

Yes, absolutely all the points matter so briefly because it is not that easy to build a good reputation to become a new bounty manger. You have to come with a legit project to gain a reputation in lesser time. As well as have to say NO to project without motto or the bad ones. Because allowing bad projects would damage your reputation so badly that's why always work with legit one and need to provide rewards on time. All these things would definitely help to be a good bounty manger.
