Getting paid to post at Bitcointalk ?

[Dydot]

Well, i have not come across any ICO project that mandates his participants to comment on their ANN thread. Signature campaign is 100% allowed. There is absolutely nothing wrong in participating in any of the bounty of your choice.

I think it's only natural that it happens because they also need something interesting for their ICO project so many people follow the project but I do not think all projects do that

[CAPT.DEADPOOL]

in the bounty you go with their rules and token or coin will pay you bigger because you earn high rank and depending on how many months the project will end and also depends on what exchanger they list their token

With this option need to add, decreasing activity for posting shit/spamm post's

We get paid from signature campaigning. Every ICO has different different criteria to post in this forum. Some wants to comment in his thread, Some do not ask but it is not a compulsion by every Ico to post positive comments. They want specific no of post to get paid that is how it works. Through signature campaigning ICOs do their promotions.

I was wondering this problem. Do you think some ICO are hiring people to comment positively on their ICO post ?

Is it legal under the forum rules

It is not a problem. Those ICO that hire people for signature campaign does instruct bounty hunters to post positive thoughts for their products. They only ask you to wear the campaign signature.  Also they did not ask a quite number of post to avoid spam.  ICO signature campaign did not break rules or it is not illegal.

I think there's a difference between signature campaigning and being paid to post (shill) some coins/ICOs. The latter is obviously more scammy, since it might just be straight up deception and lies.

And they could also be paid under the hood, essentially cutting out the middleman.

It's called bounty signature campaings, but they don't force you to write only about their project. You can post whatever you want and thus you advertise a project by wearing their signature. And in most cases it's very profitable both for a project and for a bounty hunter.

Well said there. Just to add on top. I will give a simple example. If CocaCola wants to launch a new product and they give away T-shirts for free and pay you each time you wear that t-shirt. You are not forced to wear it, but each time you wear it you know that you will get paid. In a way you will make sure your are always wearing it. This is more or less with what happens with bounties. You are not forced to wear signatures but because you are paid to do so and its some kind of earning, you wear it and in a way you will be marketing their project further. Hope I have explained it clearly from a layman's point of view

Signature campaign participants are not required to post anything about the ICO/project they are promoting. Wearing the signature is the marketing strategy itself. And posts or messages are replies or comments made on a certain topic.

Yes ! you will get paid when you post in this forum but first you need to apply in ICO/Bounty campaigns and then you need to follow their rules to be eligible.

[sparg]

They tell you to write in cetain threads and even on some topics but i didnt saw anywere to tell you that you must talk good abut the project. I only saw that you should not talk bad but you cand promote it by writing details and the development. I dont see anything bad in this because they are paying to promote the project and dont oblige you to write any false information. It is true that there are some users who praise some projetc with no reason but i believe that they didnt read the rules carrefull or they expect a better compensation.

[madgtr]

I think you are talking about the bounty signature campaign. By posting you are advertising because people see the banner of the ICO.

[Anita1873]

For bounty campaign every ICO have their own requirements and rules for paid people for writing post on bitcointalk forum. You are rewarded as per your rank in forum for campaigning of any bounty.

[sollahp]

There are variety of campaigns and bounties that hiring you to marketing their project/ICO, using your avatar/your signature for their pictures. Then you have to contribute to this group by posting a high quality post . That's all.

[Usui-Kun]

Signature campaigns do not really impose self advertising and/or faking people's comments on campaigns. I think it is sad if a company actually does that, and that is a clear sign that that campaign will fail horribly.

True and most of the rules the ICOs offers for their signature campaigns do not require you to even talk to about their ICO specially here in bitcoin talk though it might be different to social media campaigns. What they need is the appearance of their signatures in the specific threads in which those audience that they want to target with. I really think that these bounty campaigns to be profitable too and less much of a hassle than your usual part time job.
