How good projects should start

[gabrielkings]

Hello guys, so i've been wondering why some projects conduct airdrops, bounty, pre-sale, ICO and others might just go ahead and do probably only pre-sale and ICO. Do you think doing pre-sale, ICO, airdrop etc are part of the reasons to make a project succesful or do you think when a project conduct and aidrop it makes the project looks unserious for you to invest in again? what do you all think?

[cryptobae10]

I think good projects needs to have a roadmap of how the project idea is to be implemented
After that then airdrops are done to increase community members and also attract investors to the project

After then a crowd sale is done including bounty campaigns on some cases too

[muncuss]

Yes they use airdrop as way to make community bigger.
Any good projects need to have MVP, and give bigger portion of advertising fund for external sites (fb ads, google ads, influencer) instead signature campaign which is we know people here want bounty instead invest in ICO

There are no specific things related to project like airdrop or bounty means good or bad. Bounty is the part of getting investors and to saw the community something new coming. Mostly airdrops projects do for the chunks of the people get to know about them and join their platform sometimes for testing or product review also.

what i observed so far - most of the crap projects run airdrops. very few are serious with their development. but good projects should have a strong and credible team that can deliver their mission. ok given the fact that they are there for the money. but they should have the capability to deliver their objectives and have the minimal resources at least to keep them going

[hoavantathan]

The good projects should be good from the ideas. They have visions which can change the way we do everyday. But they still depend on the manager teams. They can stop when they have enough money.

This is so right
If the project reaches its softcap; it means that it was able to attract good investors with the great features of the project and they work towards fulfillment of the product to the general public, world

Either dump in price or not
They will be judged based on value brought to the individual

Why are you asking this? do you have any plans in the future that can be related to starting your own ICO and making your own token?
There are things that we can't explain further but some projects are successful even without those marketing tools such as airdrops and bounties. From the very start, they knew that project is going to be big so without those they can proceed. Some projects are also successful because of those marketing tools.

Some projects wants to connect and gather big community if its good for their project. For most new ICO its good to have high number of followers and if they conduct airdrop they will have them sticked to their project for long time.

I'm ICO supporter and this is my experience/opinion:

1) Market analysis, finding problems and solutions
2) Team building and advisory board
3) Create website, social network accounts
4) Publish documents (Light/White Papers)
5) Run the campaign (airdrop / bounty / ambassadors ...) & find partners + potential investors & build MVP
6) Start Private-Sale. Pre-Sale, Main-Sale
7) Regularly update information & answer community questions

I'm checking this project to invest more: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3379079
They have good roadmap with company, solutions and team.

A good project must have a strong and credible team that can deliver their mission. ok considering the fact that they are there for money. but they must have the ability to convey their goals and have minimal resources.

[fempat]

Even scam projects do have airdrops but they are very unprofessional. You could easily see this. No whitepaper, no website, n information about team members. They just promise that they will start sometimes in future. For me, I look at projects that have MVP and strong team. These are the things that will motivate investors to put their money into the project.

[JaekRock]

They're incredibly rare, but projects like Ravencoin (which modeled Bitcoin) to me are some of the best.  No premine, no ICO or sale of any sort, no centralized owner, no airdrop, no masternode crap.  Just like BTC...released into the wild with a vision, and if the community accepts it, develops code to execute on the vision, and keeps true to that and what the community wants from it, that's a great recipe for success.  Of course it doesn't hurt it's had some significant backing from Overstock to facilitate a code team to get it off the ground, but they don't make any sort of claim to control it.  There's obvious connections there, but ultimately the coin needs to stand on its own to have a future.  Might not be that flashy in your face thing you see advertised all over the place, but neither was bitcoin when it started.

The value will depend on how the team can try to create a good marketing to attract more people to see the project itself. If that reached softcap mean the team has been getting a lot of trust from the investors.

Eloncity project is excellent at the present time. I advise people to pay attention and follow up on the project. With a team of experts I am sure that in the future the money of this project will be in TOP. https://eloncity.io/

Airdrops and bounties are good ways to start a project because it helps to create more awareness about the project to achieve a big community and also increases the liquidity of the tokens or coins because it is being distributed among many people

[inuyahi]

make sure that the project has good concept, good team, and good plan.
airdrop, bounty, giveaway are just promotion purpose only. good promotion isnt work without good inner project

I've always wondered if having a large community built by airdrops, so they dont really interact much, or a smaller community that is more engaged is better.

Personally I'd rather see 4k Telegram users with good discussion and active admin than 50k users all just posting "hi" and "good morning" every day.

[ivanleon]

These events are made to promote and advertise your project, but as an investor it is not necessary to pay attention at all. We need to study the project and its team. Only so.

[KobbyD]

The beginning of the project mostly doesn't determine its success. I don't believe that. This is because most times in the middle of the ICO a lot of investors troop in and makes the project really interesting. What matters very well is the project or product itself the team is bringing on board.
