Guide to bounty hunters: starting twitter campaigns
Summary:topic dedicated to guide those who are interested in starting to participate in the campaigns aimed at twitter (for BTC and ALT's).
WARNING! : Already have a twitter account with more than 1000 real followers and 3 months old? If yes, go straight to " Starting campaign search ".
First steps
First, open an account on
www.twitter.com, make sure you create something that does not appear to be fake (fictitious characters for exemple) and, if possible, put some reference to cryptocoins in the image, profile or banner (it is not strictly necessary, but helps).
In general, the campaigns make 2 requirements:
1º- A minimum number of REAL followers (can range from 500 to 1000).
2º- An account that was created some time ago (usually 3 months).
obs: This is not a rule, not all of them specify that, but if you meet both of these requirements, you are probably able to participate in any campaign.
To meet the first requirement, there is no easy path, just a "formula". You will meet people for the same purpose as you. (win followers) and follow you in return for being followed back, simple.
First of all, it is good put in the description of your profile (before the text, to appear highlighted) "
i follow back".
"Ok, where are the people with the same goal as me?"
There are profiles on twitter with a single purpose, unite these people.In general, these profiles have in their name
"follow help" included, for example:
Look for profiles with a cool number of followers (10k up) that are active, follow those profiles to save, over time similar profiles will appear in the "recommended" profiles.
In general, several times a day these profiles post a simple task, usually summarized in:
"Follow back who liked this tw",
"Follow who retweeted this tweet back"
What will you do: choose the latest tweet, like\retweet, and, as a sign of good faith, follow everyone who likes and retweeted this same tweet, hoping to be followed back (because everyone has the same purpose as you
).
Okay, the world is dirty
, now it's cleaning time, nothing guarantees that you will be followed back, BUT do your part by following back who followed you.
By clicking "following", you can see if the person followed you back, if not, stop following (at least 2 days).
By clicking on "followers" you will have access to everyone who followed you, so follow them back as promised (or they will stop following you as well).
Is it tiresome and repetitive? YES, but it will generate free REAL followers!
exponentially.
"Can I delete the retweets and likes I gave in old tweets?"
Yes, usually only the recent tweets of the "follow back" profiles receive attention (at most 24h).
"How often should I do this?"
Until you reach the necessary followers.
"Are there people who sell followers?"
Yes, but as I said, it is extremely important that your followers are REAL because campaigns usually require 85% or more actual followers in your account.
WARNING- you only have
one free audit, and the campaigns will ask you to link to the audit.
If you have already "spent" your free audit, there are users here in the forum who reaudit your account for free, usually found in the "services" tab:
Example of an audited account:
https://www.twitteraudit.com/trplzr (my
)
On the second requirement (three months account), the campaign managers check? I can not say, enter the campaign at your own risk if your account is new.
Starting campaign search
"Okay, I have a mature account with a handful of followers, where do I start?"
Now it's time to search for campaigns , initially it's normal to want to get into all of them with the mentality:
"if I get $ 50 at the end ... profit" , but with my experience (well over 50 campaigns), that it's not a sea of roses, but if you know how to fish, you will guarantee your dinner at the end of the month ... (philosophical pause
).
"Where are the campaigns?"
"Campaigns is not lacking, and every time I update appears more, which one to choose?"
That's the point, to answer, I'll give my example: at the beginning I participated in all bounties , without prejudice, after a while I began to encounter a pattern of problems:
*Some campaigns simply stop in the middle.
*Some campaigns are SCAM.
*Some campaigns do not count their work correctly.
*Some campaigns make demands a little absurd (like, share and make a constructive comment with 100 characters from 3h in 3h).
*Some campaigns do not stop in the middle but the manager is silent (he rarely responds or counts the tweets).
"So the multi-page bounties are the successful ones and the ones with absurd demands are the ones that pay well?"
NO!, I participated in long bounties , for months, topics with infinite pages, reporting 7 tweets per week, which paid me not $10, but, on the other hand, I participated in simple bounties (1 month in duration) with simple tasks (3 weekly retweets ) that yielded more than $100 ...
"How to differentiate a successful bounties from one that will make me lose time?"Obviously there is no magic formula, but today I have some criteria to join a new campaign , and I will share with you ..
Basically there are three
campaigns types:
A- Campaigns that ask you to report your tweets and retweets weekly on the campaign topic.
B- Campaigns that ask you to report weekly on a form.
C- Campaigns that do not ask to report.
Knowing this, let's split the campaigns into "
TIERS":
- Campaigns that have as manager a legendary\hero member, with experience in bounty manager , example: yahoo62278, atriz, sylon, wapinter, deadley, amaZix ...- simply enter these campaigns, regardless of type (A, B, C),
"why?" [ / i], because these users do not enter into "bored boat".
Tier 1 - Campaigns run by a "Sr.Member" or higher rank manager - it's a good option, at first it's OK to get into them mainly to gain experience (and some $$$)), there's no type restriction for that tier either.
Tier 2- campaigns managed by a relatively new member but who offer the manager services in his description (exemple: a full member with the bounty manager description under his avatar) - in this case, the user can actually be a manager or simply someone who calls himself manager by itself, it's up to common sense, read the project, if it is really attractive, enter (A, B, C); if it is something exaggerated or fanciful, I suggest enter if it is of type B or C, because its worth the "risk".
Tier 3- Campaigns managed by members or full members that do not even qualify as managers, and sometimes the manager is nothing more than an "ICO partner" (or creator), that is, someone who has no experience in campaign management - if it is type A, I enter only with very few campaigns or if the project is notable, in case of type B, I go in if the project is coherent (without colonization of mars or jetpacks), and if it is of type C, I enter (even if the project is uninteresting), because this type generates little "manpower."
Tier 4- "underground", campaigns managed by newbies, junior or negatives users - avoid ..., are poorly described, poorly formatted, rarely pay or end, obviously this is not law, what I am saying here is based on my experience!
"why avoid "A" campaigns in some cases?"
Because these campaigns that request a weekly report will increase your number of shitposts, and multiplied by a high number of campaigns, your profile will have the characteristic of spammer, which can disrupt (and much) future entry into a subscription campaign, or the post count of your current campaign.
After selecting the desired campaigns, let's go to the most important part ...
Organization
Basically, in a worksheet \ blank page you will be based on the following structure to organize your campaigns:
Structure:campaign name (manager name) (campaign duration) (my number on the spreadsheet)
(day limit to report the tweets, if necessary) (page where my posts are, if it is necessary to report)
campaign link
twitter link
requirementsexemple: Policypal(hua_hui)(24\02) (#104)
(friday)(pg54)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2740305.0https://twitter.com/PolicyPalNETPost 3 retweets from PolicyPalNET Twitter per week
Create 1 original tweet per week
Have #BTC #ETH #PolicyPalnetwork in all the tweet.
Post your weekly report of tweets/retweets in this thread.
With this structure you can do a daily check of your campaigns and add new ones without problem (I usually participate about 20 at same time:
).
Now what matters most...
Payment
The payment date is extremely variable, it can vary from weeks to months after the completion of a campaign, I suggest you add completed campaigns to another worksheet to check weekly if the manager has any scheduled dates.
Example: I have some big campaigns, completed in a few mounths, of coins that are already listed in the CMC, which have not yet paid
, usually because (according to them) they are counting the stakes, deleting double accounts and etc ...
"Tell me about the values !! Is it worth it or not ?!"
In summary, I can say that I have already received from $ 5 up to $ 300 per campaign
, basically can not predict, what defines the payment is the success of ICO and the number of participants.
Safety
"What? "security"?? How can a campaign threaten my savings ?!"
Some campaigns in particular ask you to download their own wallet, which, in turn, requests "license" on your firewall and antivirus to work, basically a trojan horse that walks through the front door with your permission.
Only run files from a campaign if you feel total security, because the risk always exists!.
Conclusion
This is my shared experience, not necessarily an absolute truth, but it is a way to start if you are "lost", in time you will create your own "parameters" according to your experiences
.
"Can a campaign run by a newbie be a great success?"For sure !! but in the long run you will get a lot more headache with inexperienced managers and scammers if you go into all existing campaigns
.
Bonus
Elaborating an "original" tweet
If there is something that f*ck the rhythm of a "campaign grinder" is the recurring requirement of "Create one original tweet per week", to help with this problem, I will leave some "original" tweets structures to make life easier for the bounty hunter:
Structure1:
New great project!! take a look !
*ICO site*
#ICO #BTC #ETH #blockchain #*requested by the campaign *Structure2:
Looking for a new investment in 2018?
See this great project :
*ICO site*
#ICO #BTC #ETH #blockchain #*requested by the campaign *Structure3:Subscribe to newsletter! @twitter_of_ campaign is great idea of investment 
#ICO #BTC #ETH #blockchain #*requested by the campaign *
Exemple:Subscribe to newsletter! @CrassulaCapital is great idea of investment
#ICO #BTC #ETH #blockchain #crassula_capital ...
Obs1: Topic subject to changes, suggestions are accepted
Obs2: Yes, my profile is from a fictional character
Obs3: Thanks for the merits
, they are of great value.
I already joining different twitter campaigns since January and I'm only tweeting about the ICO how an advertisers will get potential customers. This article gives me more idea about how I should express more on tweets. Kudos to you!
