If you don't have a team member in your team that works in marketing, I would recommend hiring a professional marketing team of icos. I think one of the companies that do that sort of stuff are cryptoassests.io.
Running a presale just on bitcointalk... Is basically impossible. Take a look at then announcement section and you'll see that how much of a shitstorm it is, with icos that have money to spending hiring bumping services and running it for others. Here are some good platforms to find investors
1. Real life, business, family, friends.
2. Reddit
3. Telegram! There are a lot of investors on reddit that look for projects and then communicate to devs via telegram, a telegram group is a MUST when running an ico.
hah. I liked reading your first draft better
Anyway good luck. This part of BT confuses me with how little information topics provide but wanting so much. Maybe by follwoing this topic I'd learna little more and expand from my simple website later on aswell.
So I learned that we can run 1. signature campaign 2. bounty campaign 3. hire a legendary/hero member to post your [ANN] thread
1 & 2. From past experience bounties and sig campaigns do work, but you can't focus all your resources on bitcointalk. Spend a bit on bitcointalk, then do some google ads, facebook ads, press releases, ico listings, banners ads on coinmarket cap and other places. Be ready to dish out 10,000's of dollars for all of that though.
3. There are now copper memberships (
Read more here ) which allows you to post pic and post more often. Buy it
here . No need in getting someone else to post it.
Just simply hire bounty campaign managers like atriz? I don't know if Lauda accepts bounty. LoyceV? There are a lot of reputable members here and experts in promoting projects so go ahead and shoot them a PM and you can consult them and trust their opinions and advice.
Yeah me and Lauda both accept bounties in our new company,
ALU .
I believe that bounty can be helpful, especially what concerns social media.
And shut the fuck up.
@OP,not all the bounties are operated in the similar way.It's totally subjective and inclined towards the outcome you expect from an ICO. Running an ICO will be a bit different in your case since you already have the product launched and doing well.I'd advise you to look for investors instead.What is your target to raise ? Developer here,do you really need that much of money to scale the product ?
We're only looking for $1 million. The money will be used to keep our cash flow continuously. It takes 3-5 days to receive a user deposit, but we have to buy the cryptocurrencies at the moment of the order. So we need cash to cover at least 1 week's deposits. At the moment, we are somehow managing the cash flow. However we can't handle more than 10000 users, and we already have 5000 users. We can't even do marketing to get more users because we can't handle more users. We thought about getting money from investors by selling our equity, but it's a long and time consuming process and decided to do an token pre-sale.
That's a decent amount for a hard cap and an alright reason to justify going into ico.
One more thing. Will you guys be using escrow for the ico?
