Title: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: cheezcarls on October 09, 2020, 08:13:05 AM I know that most of you can relate to my situation where I failed to submit my entries on or before the due date of the bounty campaign. Not just once, but a few times already. I know how it feels, as I've felt the same way too. However, I've learned a lot and finally getting used to it.
If you are one of those bounty hunters who still struggle moving forward because of not submitting on time, here are some of my helpful tips: 1. Stop whining Let me ask you. If you whine for hours to a day, do you think it's productive? Absolutely not! Whining is a time-waster. I know how it feels. There's a time that I've focused spent hours, or a day or two just to finish one creative and entertaining video. But when it's the time to check the submission form, it's already closed. Man, that hurts a bit right? The point is this. Don't just wait for the deadline date. Work earlier than that. If you keep whining, you've lost so many minutes, hours or a day that is suppose to be the time you work on your next assignment or so. Makes sense? 2. Appeal when you can. Learn to accept and move forward if bounty manager doesn't give exceptions despite the best work you've got Of course, just don't believe that there is no hope anymore. However, not all bounty managers can consider your appeal to reconsider your entry despite not submitting it on time. Recently, it was my fault that I was never updated about their new deadline submission on Telegram, which wasn't updated on their bounty thread. I tried to appeal, but there are no more exceptions according to the bounty manager despite all of the long hours of work. There are some cases too in which my submissions are considered manually by some certain bounty managers even if I didn't make it on time. At first, you may feel so down because it feels like you don't deserve it. But you must learn to accept and move forward, because bounty tasks are all about risking your time. Instead, learn to be grateful and thankful. It's all about lessons learned. There's no way you could go back in time, but keep moving forward. Appeal if you can, despite there are no guarantees that they could say yes. 3. Don't blame the bounty manager for closing the forms just as you're about to submit reports. Blame yourself for not making it on time. Again! This really stings a bit for us. Assuming that you wrote a top-tier blog post about a project for so many hours, only to see that they are no longer accepting submissions. The thing is, do not blame the bounty manager for his or her decision. You have no one to blame but yourself. I know this hurts, but it's the reality. Once you accept blaming yourself, you learned and improve in making decisions for you not to repeat the same mistake again in other projects that you are joining. 4. Seek a different opportunity from them if you failed to submit your bounty entries on time. You just don't stick to be a bounty hunter all your life, you know? It's time that you should be more than that. Like in my case, I made a video about a project and the CEO likes it. The CEO would contact me to ask if I can make another video for them. And I said yes without any questions at all if they want to pay me or not. I happily made an interview video about their project, and after they see that, they've asked me for my ETH address which I was paid unexpectedly. I've experienced that in some few projects too, which I offer them a free interview with no cost, but they did pay me in an unexpected way. You can be more by just being their ambassador, content creator or whatever God-given talent you have to help the project grow. Think outside of the box, not just being a bounty hunter only. 5. More opportunities are awaiting. Don't just stick to one or a few opportunities (and make sure they're legit too) In order for you to experience less disappointment, don't just stick to a few opportunities. Of course, we all know that 90% of the bounty campaigns are scams, or failing ICOs, or token dumps after exchange listing. Make sure that you choose projects that are kinda legit by going over to their website, team's LinkedIn accounts, roadmap, whitepaper, social media channels, partnerships and events, etc. You can't just simply join a bounty campaign because of the hype, but always look beyond than that. But once you've decided to join that campaign, always put it in your mind about the "time risk" that you're taking. Also, you should be mentally and emotionally prepared when unexpected circumstances happen such as website shutdown, exit scam, etc. In other words, you must know how to manage your risks, both time and money. I hope these tips and advice of mine helps you all, especially bounty hunters who can relate. Cheers and have a nice day!

It never happened to me,,, I did not participate in too many though, I made the mistake of joining projects I thought were cool and did it for MONTHS to realize later they would never pay out (or tokens worth zero). Since then, I just stuck to my single campaign on here. No worries about deliveries and payments, just chat and discuss as I normally do:) Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: nicecrypto on October 09, 2020, 02:38:32 PM lol! this is good and at same time funny post, the problem is many hunters don't always accept that they are at fault for missing out on a campaign, they rather want to blame the team and if possible tag the project to be bad, many hunters don't read rules of the campaign they join, they just assume and carry on, but when they now see the consequence of their negligence they play the blame game,
hope this type of hunters will read and learn. Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: hd49728 on October 09, 2020, 02:45:08 PM Funny and it does not work if managers a professional and carefully check.
Some bounty hunters make "reserved" posts without a single word to discuss with others. Hours later, after the deadlines goes away, they come back to edit reserved posts. They know managers of bounties don't check a few minutes or hours after the deadlines is hit. It is bounties, not signature campaigns are paid in bitcoin. I don't advise anyone to do this because it is shame to get money with this style. Edited posts hours later are out of discussion context and it is worthless for companies. I think your topic belong to Service Discussion (Altcoins) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=198.0) Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: Ezravdb on October 09, 2020, 04:13:25 PM Experiences like this I often feel when the week is due but I only missed one post to qualify for a stake in that Week. From that experience I do not blame the other party but because of our negligence in other activities that make us forget that the weekly Bounty assignment we are participating in is due.
Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: cabron on October 09, 2020, 04:34:23 PM I've learned to move on fast. Time is ticking and there are just many things to do than blaming and whining the bounty manager since the information after all can be seen in plain sight. Since I just didn't see the future of how scam the project is from the beginning, its then time to learn and begin to see what others are saying about joining campaigns that pay tokens. Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: ryzaadit on October 09, 2020, 04:43:58 PM I have a simple and straight point for this.
Get's a real-life job and stop using bounty for your main income, just get a real job and you can save a few percentages of your payment jobs to do trade or want to try investment option. The problem of all bounty hunter has always just because he got some big payment from bounty/airdrop, he make this activity for his main income. Now when the come none successfully project in the past 5-6 month, he confused from where to look some income.

Not just once, but a few times already. I know how it feels, as I've felt the same way too. However, I've learned a lot and finally getting used to it. I experienced that a lot of times and it really happens because if you have an offline job like I had you will sometimes miss the deadline, experienced that on Dfinance twice where I failed to reach the 15 limit posts but that's ok with me as this is a weekly allocated campaign I just make it a point to reach the following week.. Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: jrrsparkles on October 09, 2020, 05:24:32 PM I think we should report it on or before the time if we able to complete the required bounty tasks because the time take for reporting doesn't even take few seconds if you keep the required entry format in a word document and write all the necessary details while you are completing the tasks itself so once you complete everything just copy and past them on the bounty threads.
Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: ChrisPop on October 09, 2020, 05:28:05 PM We should always strive to bring value through our endeavours. Be it a bounty campaign,a job, a service provided or goods produced we should do our best to make the most of our time. I assure you that if you follow this pattern, you will be amazed by the changes YOU created in your life.
Now.. if you keep missing due dates you have a discipline problem. That can be solved by creating a sense of urgency in your life. Set yourself even stricter deadlines and challenge yourself. Just my 2 cents.. Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: Galley on October 09, 2020, 05:31:34 PM A lot of people inattentively study the rules for conducting a bounty company, and this then leads to many problems and claims to the project manager. Be attentive and then you will be able to avoid problems and negativity. Be selective in choosing projects to work with and don't be disappointed.
Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: milewilda on October 09, 2020, 05:37:25 PM Ah this really brings me back to the old bounty days which I do not miss at all! It do really bring back some memories but not all would really have the hate that much when it comes to bounties.We might experience on not getting paid or getting some peanuts but It never happened to me,,, I did not participate in too many though, I made the mistake of joining projects I thought were cool and did it for MONTHS to realize later they would never pay out (or tokens worth zero). Since then, I just stuck to my single campaign on here. No worries about deliveries and payments, just chat and discuss as I normally do:) those are part of our experience and where it did really give us out some idea on how this market works.We cant deny that we do made some bucks out from those bounties in the past unless if you do join up on past 2017 hype or in short doing bounties on 2018 onwards then i can say that this is really the time where majority will be experiencing on not to be paid after how many months of doing such bounty task.Its common that bounty managers are the ones who would really be primarily took the blame if hunters didnt really get their pay but to think that they are just also employee on said company or team.So it isnt really that much right for them to be scolded or to be blamed of.There are really people who cant just easily move on after on what happened, i cant also blame them because doing some work without getting paid do really sucks. Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: kawetsriyanto on October 09, 2020, 05:45:26 PM do you mean submitting additional forms to claim the reward?
Whatever the requirements to be in the qualification must be met. If we are failed to meet with it, we will lose our hope to get rewards. It happened to many bounty hunters who do not pay attention to the rules and its updates. And here, if it happens, just move on and make it as a lesson not to do twice. Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: bigcash2011 on October 09, 2020, 05:54:32 PM It has happened to me quite a few times but i do not think that we can blame anyone else especially when the manager has announced the time for weekly form filling and usually it is 2-3 days which is ample time to fill the weeks work.
Mostly it happens when someone is promoting too many projects so he can easily forget about a couple every week. I have stopped promoting a lot of projects and stick with only a few at a time. Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: Silberman on October 09, 2020, 06:01:00 PM Bounty campaigns are made so that they're hard to finish and if you break a single rule out of a dozen you will not get paid. Exactly this, some of those bounty managers know that they could be more flexible if they really wanted it but they prefer not to do so because that means they can get away with not paying a significant deal of their participants and they can do it without breaking their own rules and as such no one really has any room for complaining since the bounty hunters were the ones that did not read the rules or failed to fulfil all the necessary requirements in order to become eligible for the reward.This is done so that out of a hundred accounts 50% will do some of the work but get paid nothing which makes them free workforce for the team. If you can't do it 100% you better not do it at all because you'll end up like a slave who works for nothing. Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: adzino on October 09, 2020, 07:15:04 PM Bounty campaigns are made so that they're hard to finish and if you break a single rule out of a dozen you will not get paid. Follow the rules, don't break any and then get paid. If they are made so that it is hard to finish, then why do people still join them? Are they that stupid to understand that the rules are made so that people unintentionally breaks the rules and gets paid? I also heard people who one rule by mistake aren't warned or anything, they keep promoting the projects and doing their tasks. They only get to know they broke the rule when the bounty program ends. Does sound like they deliberately do it so people work for them for free.

Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: kindbtc on October 09, 2020, 07:24:28 PM I do not know why you are making the bounty community sensitive and guilty by reminding them of missing werkly report, come on, even now most of the bounty campaigns do not pay or pay very small amount so in my opinion missing one week or two for reporting will not make you rich or poor because you do not know what you will get in the end. The recent campaigns i have seen which looked good projects paid only few bucks worth of tokens after couple of months work so forget even if you miss reports it is not going to matter much.
Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: jrrsparkles on October 09, 2020, 07:26:13 PM I like point number 4 which is about YouTube content. I am one of the full time bounty hunters or can be said to be active in this forum. And of course I don't depend on just one point, I keep trying to do my best from one point to the second point to the next. at least to my limit. I'm constantly looking for ways to earn passive income in the crypto space other than as a project promoter. and it taught me to continue working without complaining under any circumstances. But it seems you are wasting your time for nothing, no matter how hard you try the chances are less for you to make money and its really not possible to make constant income from the bounties.So try to learn other methods of earning apart from the bounty hunting.Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: deadthings on October 09, 2020, 07:31:11 PM But it seems you are wasting your time for nothing, no matter how hard you try the chances are less for you to make money and its really not possible to make constant income from the bounties.So try to learn other methods of earning apart from the bounty hunting. Agreed I don't think right now bounty is good source of income specially when the bounty is staked base since there would be a huge amount of bounty hunters will enroll and so the pool will be distributed to all the users. Still investing to your skill and offering it would be a good way of earning also investing and trading as well. Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: Upgate on October 09, 2020, 07:37:04 PM Gone are the days when bounty project pays hugely. These days it doesn't worth the time and energy. After months of promoting a project, you'll end up not receiving a dime of their token. Even though you receive, it will be worthless token.
It's better not to partake in any bounty for now cos crypto market is so bearish as it stands now Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: BayAngelo on October 09, 2020, 07:50:30 PM A legit advise for hunters in tis platform. i believe that majority of the hunters in this platform are tired and unwilling to take part in any bounties again due to payment issues from bounties here. it is either you move ahead or you take up other challenges that guarantee payments are out there. do more research, there are other platforms paying other bitcointalk or you can move to the services thread.
Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: tanjiran on October 09, 2020, 10:56:18 PM Very interesting writing. what you write is very relevant to the reality in the bounty campaign niche.
I often see some uneducated bounty hunters whining when they run out of time to submit or make reports. There are also those who confidently spend a lot of time and energy making videos or articles but in fact, the form has been closed, or the BM assessment is not in accordance with their expectations. Come on ... we have to get rid of the ego, we have to really understand the ecosystem in the bounty campaign, learn from experience and don't force your will. From the bounty campaign, I learned many things, one of which is discipline. Often I postpone work, I think the deadline is still far away, so I miss opportunities when there is a change in agenda. It was very painful, especially when I finished writing the article wholeheartedly but it couldn't be submitted. This is really my fault because I like to put off work until towards the end, I should have finished earlier and not procrastinate, as you explained. Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: MCobian on October 09, 2020, 11:26:24 PM Many bounty hunters who failed to meet the due date of the bounty campaign, because they did too many projects.
My advice is to just focus on doing a few projects, so it can promote projects well. I sometimes did see some participants complaining and blaming the bounty manager for not being understanding and flexible. They should have to introspect themselves and not provide reports on time. Follow the bounty campaign rules that have been set, then you will be safe. Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: DabsPoorVersion on October 09, 2020, 11:46:56 PM I agree with the number 3,
I have seen a lot of bounty hunters who blame the bounty manager all the time. Instead of submitting their reports or finish their tasks prior to the due date every week, bounty hunters always finish their tasks in rush. Also, most bounty hunters do not know when is the cut-off of their participating bounty, that's why they always unable to submit their report on time.

There's a spreadsheet for every bounty campaign and we must coordinate serious concerns to telegram bounty group. Bounty managers were too busy accommodating their task and other members. Patience is very important and every hunter shouldn't stop throwing blames to other people, it doesn't solve the circumstances rather making it worst.

If you have some skills in writing, content creation or drawing and as design maker better be active joining and applying in Services there are also open slots for signature campaigns if you gained merit or atleasmst have good posting record https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0
Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: Strongkored on October 10, 2020, 02:30:25 AM I think the feeling of annoyance will come if you see that the price of tokens that should be obtained is quite large, but because it never meets the due date of bounty ends up reducing the amount you get, and usually this is experienced if you join too many bounties, which is why it's important to choose the bounty that is will be joined, joining so many bounties will make it difficult for us to remember every rule and time to submit our task, but if still want to follow all the bounties you need to make notes about when to submit a task and how much task to do.
Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: chikator on October 10, 2020, 02:35:50 AM Just move on generally. It was on you in the first place when you failed to pass your work on the due date. The project manager is just doing protocol. The best action would be to consider what you did and do better on the next one.

But yeah there is little the bounty managers can do if the team goes rogue .
As always we move on in the hope that we will find some genuine projects to promote which will fasten the blockchain adoption.

They don't follow the rules, that's true, but it happens more and more often that teams pay with tokens that never get listed and campaign managers change the rules during the course of the campaign. They sometimes even add KYC requirements to limit the number of people elligible for payment. It won't end until people start valuing their time and demanding funds to be escrowed and distributed by someone trusted by the community. Imagine that a moderator decided to delete the post you've quoted and did not delete any of the posts that responded to and quoted me. Double standards?

Sometimes it is bounty manager being unfair and that makes it worse, sometimes it is actually you that didn't do enough and that is not really something you can do about, you should have done more and if you didn't there is nothing to be done anymore and time to move on. When the manager being unfair and you see other people getting the bounty and you are not getting it, that is just how it would be and nothing you do will change it so there is really no point in talking about it and arguing over it. One thing bad about almost all managers is the fact that they do not really change their idea, even if they are unfair, they do not really accept the fact that they are unfair and that is why you can't do anything about it, normally you should be able to show them how they are unfair but since they do not accept it you can't really show them how unfair they are.

They had tell that they dont require it out but in the end then rules have altered.This isnt something new then bounty hunters will just sit and decide if they would comply or would just simply forget their pay and give importance of their information rather than getting those tokens. Its pity but this had been the reality on bounty hunting. Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: cabron on October 16, 2020, 06:16:42 AM This thread must be very coincident because the project DRK Defi (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5277035.0) was accused of scam because the team plagiarized their Whitepaper. The accusation thread is this one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5277113.0 but the bounty hunters are expecting the project are backed by honest developers but looks like they cheated right from the start thru the WP. Nothing can be done to take back the time lost so this is really important to learn about the project before joining. For now, those bounty hunters can read the tips in the first page to move on. Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: Mealea on October 16, 2020, 06:53:28 AM It can be very painful when you find yourself in this kind of situation, it happened to me recently, I was hoping to submit my article for DEGO on the last day but by the time I concluded the article after so much work, I discovered that the submission is closed, I felt so happy that I have wasted my time all day writing an article which I couldn't submit for a reward, but we must learn to move forward. The manager is not to be blame here.
Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: studio1one on October 16, 2020, 07:10:30 AM Ah this really brings me back to the old bounty days which I do not miss at all! It never happened to me,,, I did not participate in too many though, I made the mistake of joining projects I thought were cool and did it for MONTHS to realize later they would never pay out (or tokens worth zero). Since then, I just stuck to my single campaign on here. No worries about deliveries and payments, just chat and discuss as I normally do:) Happened to me a lot too, I participated in the signature campaign of the project, which I thought was quite cool and had no red flags. For 2-3 months, I wore their signature, and later they ended out to be a failed project lol. For me, a deadline is a deadline, and everyone should do their best to finish their task by then. We should not fight with BM because it's not BM's fault that you delayed. Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: Bitstar_coin on October 16, 2020, 07:28:40 AM I agree with the number 3, I have seen a lot of bounty hunters who blame the bounty manager all the time. Instead of submitting their reports or finish their tasks prior to the due date every week, bounty hunters always finish their tasks in rush. Also, most bounty hunters do not know when is the cut-off of their participating bounty, that's why they always unable to submit their report on time. this is a common practice with many hunters, they always delay doing their bounty task, they will come up with excuses when the bm refuses to accept their late entries, most hunters who behave like this are the type that join more than what they can handle, they join almost every bounty that comes up and at the end they will fail to fulfill the task, and sometimes their actions can also delay spreadsheet compilation and bounty distribution.

These days it doesn't worth the time and energy. After months of promoting a project, you'll end up not receiving a dime of their token. Even though you receive, it will be worthless token. Yes dude, I'm very happy and fully support you for giving a good advice for everyone here especially your statement bolded part. It's better not to partake in any bounty for now cos crypto market is so bearish as it stands now But, why are you participate in bounty too? :P It's not worth since you only receive worthless token right? ::) #Proof of authentication Bitcointalk username: Upgate Telegram username:: Slyodi Participated Campaign: Signature I do hope soon, bounty will worth doing like 2017 bounties Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: coinfinger on October 20, 2020, 01:29:44 PM 1. Stop whining I understand some people though, it’s just the frustration that makes them to keep whining. My good advice is that people should always have other jobs to support them, because I believe is because they have placed all their mind on that money and sometimes have plans that they want to sort out with it, and at the end it became something else. So let them have other things doing, if one disappoints, the other ones are there to provide the money you need.Don't blame the bounty manager for closing the forms just as you're about to submit reports. Blame yourself for not making it on time. Really we can’t blame the managers in this case if they really made an announcement about it, it’s to simply move, no stress. If you keep disturbing yourself on an issue like this, nothing is probably going to be changed.

Failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign shouldn't be blame on the bounty managers since the failed side wasn't on them but on the member. Whinning of a member is inevitable since a bounty campaigns gives a reward and they were expecting for a reward for their efforts but knowing it didn't make it on a scheduled date doesn't count them on. By accepting the fact that its your side who failed, and let the failure be a lesson learn so that for the next bounty campaigns you already learn what to do. Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: Jeger.Kiting on October 20, 2020, 04:26:15 PM Even though I have participated in signature campaigns several times but have never experienced anything like that, I am more fixated on one project only, if I see something better and more interesting I can join other campaigns, for example articles, social media, translations, videos . DLL, that's enough for me to participate in a campaign that I think is good and interesting, even though I can't participate with the signature campaign, at least I can take other options besides the signature, so as not to violate the procedures set by the campaign manager of all projects. ..
Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: thesmallgod on October 20, 2020, 04:45:51 PM All campaigns have rules and it must be followed diligently. Submitting your work is due necessary as at the due date and it is left for you to know when is the last date to submit. In case you are always missing out, I will advise you to join bounty that is run on bounty platforms such bounty0x that trace the working done rather than you giving accounts every day. When I used to participate on many bounty, I have a to-do list that shows when is the deadline for submittion of my work so that I dont miss out.

Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: Kelvinid on October 20, 2020, 10:43:20 PM Participating in bounty or any signature campaign is just an opportunity. If you got accepted that is because the CM/BM thinking that you can make your job but if you got excluded from the list because you miss performing the task given, that is our fault and OP is right, we don't need to complain of them. That is our fault and that ourselves to be blamed as well, sending a message to the BM/CM is a way to make them informed and ask for another chance rather than whining to them because of your own mistake.

Yes. We can ask for another chance but if the bounty manager won't allow us to be part of the campaign anymore, then we should learn to respect his decision. After all, we should be responsible for our own shortcomings and blaming others won't give any solution. So we should always give our best while we are still luckily part of the campaign.Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: Yatsan on October 20, 2020, 11:42:08 PM All the keypoints that the OP have mentioned are sincerely and strongly agreeable for the fact that the situations included on those explanations are the common scenarios that maybe all of us have experienced on our bounty campaign journey when we are just starting our crypto journey in this industry. Instead of complaining and ranting into something that is already done, better move forward and do not turn back so you will easily forget the bad experience you have got from joining bounty campaigns. The old times are already done so comparison would make no sense at all. Just keep straight ahead and seek for better opportunities away from bounty if you find yourself not suited on that. There are still other crypto works you can do with.

When we know in ourselves that it is our fault if we are not given a stake because we failed to submit the report for that week especially in social media campaigns, maybe we should not be angry or complain because it is in the rules at the beginning. Let's just move to the remaining weeks and do the task properly.
Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: Genemind on October 21, 2020, 02:49:14 AM I have experienced it once but we can't blame the bounty managers because they're just doing their jobs. Sometimes, it's our mistake that we're not able to finish the required task on its due date. We only have to be productive and try to do better. Missing to meet the due date of a bounty campaign once or twice is fine and we should learn from it but doing it continuously is already a bad habit of being irresponsible.

OP has provided some key-points that are very positive about how to control the situation from getting worse. Learn from previous mistakes, and still have opportunities for another day. The problem is the hunters didn't even learn from their past experience and this has been making a lot of noise when the hunters got scammed. Just take a look at how those who have been promoting emirex for more than 4 months have been getting paid less than $10. People should not feel serious to join in the bounty. :D :D :D Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: sgenuine on October 25, 2020, 07:50:29 PM Some bounties eat too much time, which is precious. I lost exactly too much time there until I understood that it would be better to dive deeper into the crypto trading, and started learning more about Bitcoin and altcoins. It also takes time, but worth doing the stuff.
Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: albon on October 25, 2020, 08:52:13 PM Good points and advice mentioned by the OP and I want to add this sentence in front of all hunters and it is (failure is the beginning of success) We do not have to give up and blame ourselves and blame others, life is full of opportunities. We have to keep up with bounty work and learn from our mistakes, and we must not make hunting bounties a basic income It is a source of income besides our main works.
Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: Mpamaegbu on October 25, 2020, 09:15:23 PM 1. Stop whining My remedy for this type of situation is to always write down the day of weekly submission in my notepad where I usually place links from the shared contents on social media. This technique has really helped me as I haven't missed any submission of reports. The point is this. Don't just wait for the deadline date. Work earlier than that. Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: isaac_clarke22 on October 26, 2020, 03:55:22 PM ~ Just don't expect a lot in bounties. Even if the BMs ain't that strict, you still have the monster running your way to grab all your efforts to just be led to a waste. Many are driven emotionally because it's like they depend their lives on bounties while this forum ain't even their earning platform. Even if some people see this as an "earning platform", there are far more better sites to earn more. Think of these bounties as just like a side dish as you roll around the forum joining to discussions. Title: Re: How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign Post by: ghost424 on October 26, 2020, 05:10:25 PM I know that most of you can relate to my situation where I failed to submit my entries on or before the due date of the bounty campaign. Not just once, but a few times already. I know how it feels, as I've felt the same way too. However, I've learned a lot and finally getting used to it. If you are one of those bounty hunters who still struggle moving forward because of not submitting on time, here are some of my helpful tips: 1. Stop whining Let me ask you. If you whine for hours to a day, do you think it's productive? Absolutely not! Whining is a time-waster. I know how it feels. There's a time that I've focused spent hours, or a day or two just to finish one creative and entertaining video. But when it's the time to check the submission form, it's already closed. Man, that hurts a bit right? The point is this. Don't just wait for the deadline date. Work earlier than that. If you keep whining, you've lost so many minutes, hours or a day that is suppose to be the time you work on your next assignment or so. Makes sense? 2. Appeal when you can. Learn to accept and move forward if bounty manager doesn't give exceptions despite the best work you've got Of course, just don't believe that there is no hope anymore. However, not all bounty managers can consider your appeal to reconsider your entry despite not submitting it on time. Recently, it was my fault that I was never updated about their new deadline submission on Telegram, which wasn't updated on their bounty thread. I tried to appeal, but there are no more exceptions according to the bounty manager despite all of the long hours of work. There are some cases too in which my submissions are considered manually by some certain bounty managers even if I didn't make it on time. At first, you may feel so down because it feels like you don't deserve it. But you must learn to accept and move forward, because bounty tasks are all about risking your time. Instead, learn to be grateful and thankful. It's all about lessons learned. There's no way you could go back in time, but keep moving forward. Appeal if you can, despite there are no guarantees that they could say yes. 3. Don't blame the bounty manager for closing the forms just as you're about to submit reports. Blame yourself for not making it on time. Again! This really stings a bit for us. Assuming that you wrote a top-tier blog post about a project for so many hours, only to see that they are no longer accepting submissions. The thing is, do not blame the bounty manager for his or her decision. You have no one to blame but yourself. I know this hurts, but it's the reality. Once you accept blaming yourself, you learned and improve in making decisions for you not to repeat the same mistake again in other projects that you are joining. 4. Seek a different opportunity from them if you failed to submit your bounty entries on time. You just don't stick to be a bounty hunter all your life, you know? It's time that you should be more than that. Like in my case, I made a video about a project and the CEO likes it. The CEO would contact me to ask if I can make another video for them. And I said yes without any questions at all if they want to pay me or not. I happily made an interview video about their project, and after they see that, they've asked me for my ETH address which I was paid unexpectedly. I've experienced that in some few projects too, which I offer them a free interview with no cost, but they did pay me in an unexpected way. You can be more by just being their ambassador, content creator or whatever God-given talent you have to help the project grow. Think outside of the box, not just being a bounty hunter only. 5. More opportunities are awaiting. Don't just stick to one or a few opportunities (and make sure they're legit too) In order for you to experience less disappointment, don't just stick to a few opportunities. Of course, we all know that 90% of the bounty campaigns are scams, or failing ICOs, or token dumps after exchange listing. Make sure that you choose projects that are kinda legit by going over to their website, team's LinkedIn accounts, roadmap, whitepaper, social media channels, partnerships and events, etc. You can't just simply join a bounty campaign because of the hype, but always look beyond than that. But once you've decided to join that campaign, always put it in your mind about the "time risk" that you're taking. Also, you should be mentally and emotionally prepared when unexpected circumstances happen such as website shutdown, exit scam, etc. In other words, you must know how to manage your risks, both time and money. I hope these tips and advice of mine helps you all, especially bounty hunters who can relate. Cheers and have a nice day! Tip number two is the best. Appealing within the forum is one of the best things that can happen since most appeals are supported since people want a good community. Then tip number five must always be kept in mind since the opportunities within the Crypto industry is endless and if we keep ourselves in a gloomy situation, nothing will be fruitful for us. Thanks for the reminder! |
