Starting a Signature-Ad Campaign

[TemplarKnightUK]

I apologise if this seems a somewhat simplistic question, but how do I go about starting a Signature Ad campaign? I see the list of currently active campaigns, maintained by Mitchell, but I've no idea to whom one applies for permission to start one, or where I would post to allow members to apply to wear the signature. I can see there is a standard format, and I would emulate that, but there are many questions.

Also, I apologise if this is outlined somewhere, but SMF in its default theme hurts my head, so I gave up looking after going through a few boards and using the forum Search tool.

Kind regards

You don't need to apply for anything or ask permission from anyone to start a sig campaign. There is also no standard format for anything. All you have to do is make a few different signatures for people to wear (typically different ones for different ranking members) and then create a thread announcing that you are starting a sig campaign. That thread should include the signatures, how people can join, pay rates, and any terms and conditions for people who join (e.g. high quality posts or be kicked). You'll also want to find an escrow to hold only at least one full payment's worth of Bitcoin (The absolute maximum that you could potentially end up paying for one period).

Ah, I suspected you might not need to apply. Thank you for the quick reply! So just in the Services board, yes?

I take it this will be updated to the main list in due course, and I'll have a healthy selection of applicants to choose from?

I'm liaising with a BBCode designer currently for the set of signatures!

Yes, services

Just submit it to the thread and it may be added to the list.

you don't need any permission for it. just goto markeyplace board》servic section and start a new thread with your signature camp detail.add your bamner codes and google sheet and all the nessasary information + instructions and take a budget before starting it or it will be better if you keep an escrow support

[gamerfan]

Yes, simply go to this subforum and start the thread. I suggest you to be very clear and concise about your campaign. I see many campaigns with too much talk and little explanations about what's needed. I also recommend to hire a good designer to make the code shining, so that you could reach a good and fast ROI.

Good luck for your business!

There is no need to apply man. Just make your own thread about your signature campaign on service section and fill all the information about your signcamp like the rates and which rank that can joined.

[Strongkored]

You dont need any permission, just make your own thread put in marketplace, explain in your thread what you want with you campaign and how much reward for member who join your campaign, put your campaign rule too, and dont forget to put campaign code with a different rank, for campaign code you can search in this forum and pay member who can make your campaign code, good luck with your business

[dunfida]

As others said you dont need the permission to  launch a  signature campaigns  as long  you have all the  things that are commonly needed  on  a campaigns (signature,avatar, escrowed funds, campaign manager, rules of the said campaign)  same as other said  you  just to go  services section and   announce  it  when the  sigcamp is ready. Goodluck.

If you find it quite hard on understanding how to operate or launch the signature campaign in this forum you can hire some experienced signature / avatar campaign manager from this list of currently active and trusted campaign manager https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1312014.0
And also don't forget to escrow some of the funds to build trust on starting weeks of your campaign.

[Aamir1]

I would suggest you to hire a manager for your campaign and let him do the things for you, all you will have to do is to provide him with the funds and let him start it after getting the signature codes, that would be the best for you, first make it for 3 weeks, and then if you find it working for you then increase the time period.

[crairezx20]

The only thing that you can do is to hire and escrow for funds for your signature ads and funds should be escrow you can try to contact yahoo instead or SFR10 for your starting campaign and i hope they can help you about your problem..

You have done the good exploring around this forum here I guess. First we need to pass a application to the campaigns whenever we see the open slot for our rank. Then we need to wait for campaign manager's reply he just confirm the acceptance to us.

Apart from getting someone to design your signature banner for you, you need to keep a spreadsheet of your campaigners and the number of posts they make per week.
If you don't want to hire a campaign manager to do this for you, check other signature campaigns to see how the spreadsheet is prepared and also learn about escrowing funds.
Philippma is offering escrow services too.

[BitcoinSupremo]

When starting a signature it's always good to have a manager "who just looks at the user posts and based on such action decide whom to keep and whom to remove from the campaign".

If you make the enrollment process automatic for example from Full Member or Sr.Member and above you will have a lot more success. To keep such success a manager is needed to look at the user posts.

I say this because some of the most long running campaigns are fully automatic in enrollment process (both now closed for new participants) and they are as follows
Yobit
Bitmixer
Coinmixer(relatively new compared to the 2 others still automatic enrollment)

My 2 cents on the topic.

You can decide on your own to start a signature campaign in which the thread that you want, pay for each rank, Did you need a campaign manager. and for signature code you can create by your own but if you can't some people in here can help you for it but need to pay for that's.

[MyBTT]

I've sent you a PM regarding a good manager.

A signature ad campaign does not require permission, it just requires a budget, a drive, and something to advertise.

Yeah if you want a good signature design you must make a competition and participants can submit their own quality signature design dedicated by your company or just contacting the best signature designer is jaycee.

Wow; I'm overwhelmed by all the very helpful responses! Thank you all very much!

I think my first priorities are to get the BBCode sorted out and then decide on the specifics of the campaign.

What are the going rates for campaign managers?

Almost none of them publish such rates publicly. You can ask them via PM. Many of them are very helpful and very good in communicating. I think everyone of them is a good manager in their own way. Try to find a medium quality manager, not too strict, not too tolerant as both these latest cases ends the signature prematurely. Good examples of good medium quality managers are signatures which are running from a long time.

Rollin.io Guitarplinker (manager)
[banned mixer] Gianluca95 (manager)
Bitsler (not running from long but good manager Yahoo)

I recommend you any of these three will do to your signature a great job in managing your signature.
