Bitcoins Have become an awesome mode of payment in today's life, but how will people know about it without advertising? It's a known thing that to get more consumers, you need to advertise your product, similarly btc needs some more advertising, especially in places where btc is still used rarely
we can do it via integration in the biggest platform out there, like youtube facebook and google if you come up with a tipping project, integrated for youtube facebook etc...it would be a win situation

One thing i know with the openbazar ready and hot trading i guess will be the time to bring attention into bitcoin beneficts .

It's very hard to advertise decentralized thing like Bitcoin is. Why? Well advertising is expensive and someone needs to pay for it and getting people to pay for things when you are decentralized is much harder than it seems. I would rather invest the money that we allocate for possible advertising into a development. We need a strong and robust product that delivers promised. If we have this, people will come to us in my opinion.

We just have to change our total approach to reach a wider audience. I don't know how much time we have left to do that though.

Since there is no central institution to profit from such advertisement, since everybody would profit from it partialy - weather they invested in advertisement or not. But rest assured - bitcoin with it's structure and constantly progressing services will make public and followers for themselves.

My question is who is going to fund this sort of thing. Will it be community funded,and if so who is going to manage it. A lot of these steps need to take place in order to have some success at advertising.
Great concepts (slowly but surely) advertise themselves. Sometimes it can have a domino effect. You tell one person, then they tell another, then those people tell several others, and so on. Of course greater opportunities for larger advertising will be needed, but we can't just jump from step A to step Z in a night without the proper funding. We will gradually obtain the funding through patience and vigorous work. We just have to plan, work hard, take our time and believe in our concepts and hone them to the best of our abilities. Our time will come if we just stop doubting ourselves, and just believe.

Well everyone need more advertising, I mean everyone. The proof for this is Coca-Cola that still pays for advertising even though some would say that it has a brand name and a brand image that doesn't need commercials at all. Have to agree with this point - no matter how big you are until you're the market leader (or have a monopoly) you can always try and reach more people. For Bitcoin as a currency - it'd just need to get to the point where everyone would use it, once that happens you wouldn't need to advertise anymore. It's just like any other currency - you never see anyone advertise for the USD.

The "why" are to many but the example of Coca Cola (which is a world giant) is one of the most significant. So i think that the problem which must be discussed could be another: "how to make true that"? In which way is possible to make possible the work of this "tool"? Coca Cola has its owners which work for their pockets. Bitcoin has only its followers which are everyone for itself and God for everyone. In other words the million dollar question is: How to make possible the advertising of bitcoin? Maybe Bitcoin Foundation can play a decisive role in this direction.... But what we can do to move it?

Yes! Bitcoin needs alot more exposure for it to take off and be widely accepted as a alternative payment method. Advertisements does this fairly well.

ya surely we need more ways because still only i think it may be wrong also but 20% of the total world knows about bitcoin so still 80% is left out, so their is still a lot of work to be done.
20% of total word population is too much zencomp. In 2011 google says that the world population is 7 Billion. If 1,400,000,000 people know about bitcoin then bitcoin is soo much popular.

Would be great to see some promotion on tv ,but who would pay for that?Tv comercial is a fortune,and the return can be nothing or lower then expected,besides maybe some tv wont accept talk about bitcoin since they got ads from goverment that will go against them.

You just have to relax, and take it step by step to make enough money to contribute to that kind of advertisement. It takes millions, but you cannot make a million overnight. I wish you could, but you can't.

Advertisement is very hard. Bitcoin is not a product, not everyone would be interested to try something out of their comfort zone. Most ads displayed are about everyday stuff. Bitcoin would be a currency that is not backed by anything and not everyone would take the risk and try it out.
Well tell the victims of bank bailouts if how much their money was backed by "something". Bitcoin is backed by math, it's the price that can fluctuate, but you will never lose the BTC on your wallet. To the contrary, you can lose the money you have in your bank because it's not really yours. Cryptography is something very new for an average joe. You're not going to convince someone to use BTC if you say it, most wouldn't bother to find out more about it. Most would still trust fiat more than Bitcoin because they have been using it for a long time.

They feel secure with their traditional instruments and concepts. The big advertising of bitcoin must be it's own price hike. The price increase will make bitcoin more popular on it's own promotions by hitting in news.

i feel like bitcoin is already getting fairly popular even without advertising because it is just so great. "great things don't need advertising"
Well, I disagree. Great things do need advertising nowadays and we all know that. Just name one thing which is great and we know it without advertising. I mean a human-made thing not one of the bounties of Nature of course. If we do not advertise bitcoin, the adoption will be slower. If we do not educate people about bitcoin, advertising would be worthless.. We need to make the image of bitcoin more fun or entertaining + advertise it's pros. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) The education comes with the advertisement, so it isn't a concern. I agree that we should combine both, advertisement and education to make Bitcoin more popular. I think there should be t-shirts with something like this: Do you know that one Bitcoin is selling for $270? No. That's bragging. We don't want to come off egotistical or arrogant.Let's let our greatness speak for itself. Also going off of what that other user mentioned, bitcoins fluxuate from one price to another. We don't want a fixed price. Okay, great. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) That was just my suggestion how to attract people to learn about Bitcoin. If you have more intelligent ideas, well, that's great, I don't want to come off egotistical or arrogant either. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) But I still think we can use t-shirts with writings only I'd change the writing to: Do you know that one Bitcoin is selling for over $200 now?No t-shirt should be saying anything about price.... Besides, I'm the only one that's making fashion merchandise here. I suggest everyone else should come up with their own ideas and stop trying to take other people's ideas...think about it. If you do what everyone else is doing, that's automatic competition. You want to put out a product or service that is 100% different. Something that's never been suggested or done before. For example: I am also sculpting handmade bitcoin Gangster chains soon. Never been done, and will sell pretty quickly. Come up with your own plan, please. Okay, okay ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I was just trying to help you here. I'm not going to make fashion merchandise with BTC symbols or with BTC-related writings. I thought you were asking for ideas and I proposed one. If you want to make everything by yourself, then please forgive my intrusion.

The suggestion is clear, but the question would be who? Because bitcoin has no ceo, no company representatives etc. I think the best way is when third parties advertise for their service in bitcoin.
