Are Promo offers from Twitter Influencers Scam ore serious offers?

[Taskford]

hello together, i have a question about Twitter and its promo influencers. I recently finished my first NFT collection its all new my twitter account has just 20 followers, but since i started listing my NFTs to opensea and added a post with explains about the added value of my NFT collection i instantly start getting rows of promo offers from diffrent Twitter NFT influencers. I checked the profiles but they seem more like professional promoters than scammers, but still i dont know what to think about it. they have between 100k and 1 million followers and the accounts are from 2009-2019 so they are doing this for quite a while. Since these people follow me, my impressions rised from 6 to 80 in more ore less 2 days so...what am i dealing with here right now? should i take them serious ore better just ignore them ?

Tag them all as scam since they just promote those NFT just to hype their supported project and possible that their placed NFT's for sale on the platform would be sold. Or rather they are just hyping up the project since the more people he can influence to invest on the NFT's he promote the more money he can earn.
So aside from listening to those influencers better do personal checking about the project and always have second thoughts about what you want to try. Then also never hold it if someone telling you to do that since you might became the same with other who bag hold their NTF because it lost its value.

well actually i do  not want to use social media its a trashcan full of junk ...BUT...you just need it thats the problem. Not just becouse of the promotion also when u want to get a validation from opensea some day ( blue ticks) . becouse one qualification is a proper social media presence. Also many real people taking SM as a reference at least visually for the quality and the seriosity of a project. The more follower a project hasthe "better" it is...sadly

I would feel way better if i could just use other promotional platforms if there werent any... organic traffic for nfts on google will cost me more than just getzing scammed 10/11 times....also i am not familiar with SEO so i would need to hire someone for that ^^ the only thing i can do when it comes to SEO is using H1-4 Titles and "NFT" as keyword but thats it xD and yeah pictures of course ...

But let me ask you all something, dont you all think its a little bit concerning? i mean this whole situation with the scammers? I mean for real it feels like A: there are more NFT Sellers than Buyers at least on open sea and when it comes to promotion, there are WAY...WAYYY more Scammers than anything else. But financial products no matter which ones are based on investor trust. How shoudl investors trust NFTs if at least 50% of the allover NFT market is a scam...?
is there not a simple solution for this problem ? I mean you are acutally all telling the same just in other words:

DONT TRUST ANYONE...

but if i cant trust anyone, how can i trust in crypto ore nft? i mean i do becouse i can take the risk...but honestly i think we all want crypto and NFT getting accepted and adopted by the mainstream someday. But how shoudl this ever happen if no one can trust no one ?!? Is this not a paradox ore something?

Anyway, why can no one stop this scammers? I mean you all know how they work in the main ways... Whatever they want to do , whatever they want from you, there is ALWAYS 1 thing they have to do, when they want to scam someone. At least they have to be able to contact you....so actually why can we not just silence them ? if they couldnt talk to us anymore they cant scam ore am i getting something wrong ? Sure they can still phis ore use fake accounts, but beeing silenced 4 ever would dry out a lot of them ore not ?....

No disrespect to Twitter influencers, but most of them are hard shillers without doing their homework. They do not even warn their followers about the risks, DYOR, etc.

Same thing with Youtube, Tiktok and other social media platforms. When the projects rugs, they immediately deleted all of the posts related to that project and pretending that they did not promote it.

But not all of them can escape like the case of FTX where a number of celebrities, athletes, etc., are promoting it without doing their due diligence.

I am not saying that all of them are like that, but there are a handful who are just being careful on what they are promoting whether if they are NFTs, GameFi, etc.

I don't think the number of followers is a reliable means of determining if an influencer is reliable or not a scammer.

In this advanced technology, people have taken scam to an advanced level whereby you need not only single fact to take before assuming any influencer to be a genuine one, they can manipulate the review if that's what you're taking into consideration only, they make use of trust pilot as well to influence anything they want.

How long the influencer has been in business can be a good indicator but you should also be careful because his account might be hacked or cloned to carry out a fraudulent act.

Don't always trust anything you're coming in contact with for the first time, the most difficult task to do is to identify an unknown enemy, how do you ensure you make a proper research in knowing those coming for good and those with bad intention, this is where we all fails most time in our assumptions.

Honestly, influencer promotion on Twitter will certainly help in a certain way, but I am of the opinion that advertising on Twitter is overrated. There are accounts with a huge number of followers, but this does not guarantee influence.
The only ones who have real influence are public figures but I think they are too expensive for needs like yours.

you should actually activate all social media channels, not just Twitter. I think that YouTube and Tiktok currently have a slightly stronger influence than Twitter.

Now twitter is becoming the mainstream for NFT promotion and it is becoming very effective with some help from accounts that have a lot of followers. influencers on twitter with a lot of followers are also paid a lot of money to promote NFT projects and so on.
But, it is not entirely on twitter. social media like Tiktok and youtube are still quite popular. especially tiktok which is the most widely used video promotion today.

and what about facebook? everybody talking about twitter tiktok and the others but facebook is still existing too...why is it practically not mentioned even if there are several nft marketplaces in groups etc.. ?

Twitter has been one of the best platforms for cryptocurrency activities such as promotions, advertisements, and information, which is why there are so many crypto influencers on Twitter.

Although trust is a costly commodity these days, it is prudent to conduct your own research on the influencers, but there are undoubtedly good influencers and promoters on Twitter. As a result, if the account has a good reputation and has been active for an extended period as you mentioned, you can look through their previous promotions to see how successful they were and then decide what to do, but be cautious about who you trust.
