How to run an ICO campaign on Bitcointalk?

[coinseedco]

Hi, everyone. Please, educate me on how to run an Pre-sale ICO campaign on Bitcointalk. I'm a just newbie and still don't get how things go here.

Our app Coinseed is an app that lets you invest your spare change (or small recurring amount) in your portfolio of cryptocurrencies. Low risk and low commitment. We launched our app on Nov 21 in the US and received 5000 downloads in 2 weeks with no paid marketing. The timing was really perfect and now we want to scale our product. So we decided to do a token pre-sale. We're all developers and have no experience in marketing. Just beginning to understand how hard it was. So please, enlighten me on how to it right.

Our strongest appeal: Our app is live in the US, on Android and iOS.

As for our token:
We gamified the creation of investment portfolios and our users can see how other users are creating it and can even copy the best performing portfolios. When a Coinseed user converts their current portfolio to another portfolio, there is a 1% fee on the total asset that is being converted. Coinseed will distribute 50% of this revenue to the CSD token holders every month.

So I learned that we can run 1. signature campaign 2. bounty campaign 3. hire a legendary/hero member to post your [ANN] thread

Do you planning bounty campaign in social media? What is your approximate budget for bounty campaign? It would be interesting to see describing of your project

[dillpicklechips]

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.

Why? Have a plan to run their project? Only interested campaign managers should ask this question and in PM.

I advise to look through other projects bounties, how do they run them and etc. To help you understand what's that and how it is all carried out.
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.

Good plan on making a token and I do see you do operate already which signifies that this is really a legit one not on just like others which are staying imaginary for longer times.If you do have 5000 users and complaining of such growth then you would really need to make some adjustments. Reaching out $1M Cap will really be easy specially if people would see this as a working project already. Running ICO campaign would really needed up a bounty manager takes care of handling the marketing ways on exposure of such ICO. There are lots to choose from actually but select the most reputable ones.

Exactly, OP should discuss project like this to a reputable person like some of great manager's here in this forum who can actually guarantee you a better promotion of your project, approach this persons with professionality, ma'am lauda , sir yahoo62278, sir atriz, maybe this respected persons can help you with that. Goodluck!

It will be easy for you guys to create a project since you are developers.

That would be the ideal idea that they needed to do since reputable campaign manager can fix up some works that they can't handle and they can discuss with them the fee,rules and anything  surrounds in the camp, and they can focused on there project if they will hire an experience reputable guy that can handle it. But dev should select those as we said reputable since there are an sad event of campaign manager scamming who change the eth address of the participants after the campaign ends and that would be the worst thing happen if they select random guys to handle it.

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.

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 .

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?
