you can promte use signature campaign
is good you open ico selling and open bounty campaign not only signature campaign but include blog campaign , facebook and twitter campaign

[Eadefemi]

Well, affordable free listing is  a  very effective promotional strategy...

But then, growth doesn't happen overnight... It requires, amongst other things, a highly dedicated team and a strong commitment to the project...

Let your social media accounts be always active... Quick to respond to enquiries and rectify  problems

Also, like some other exchanges, giving out free drops of other tokens worth a few cents would also help the growth of the project...

Finally, DON'T SCAM!

Wish you all the best

It will be extremely hard for you to take off and get a decent trade volume unless you offer something different. No one will move their funds from other, established exchanges to new and untrusted one, unless there's a solid incentive.

...We are going to take away the listing fee and allow any interesting projects with strong community to be listed for free.
If you have any interesting project with strong community please apply for list at https://www.dontoshi.com/submit-coin

Listing new, promising tokens and being the first place they could be traded is by far the best strategy. But you need to be proactive, don't expect them to approach you, you need to actively seek for projects with potential and offer them listing with you.

And do you only allow ethereum tokens to be listed? No other blockchains? On token submission form every field is marked with red asterisk (as obligatory?). I don't see the logic behind it, would you reject application if token doesn't have telegram or twitter account?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Of course I know it won't happen overnight, we need to work hard to achieve some results, and we do work hard.
We consider adding trading competitions and other kind of rewards on exchange to attract more people.
Since I have invested in this project idea over 30.000$ in December 2017, when the dev team had no product, and after almost a year of bear market they finally build an exchange I believe scam exit is not the goal for this project.

Thank you for sharing your ideas, definitely we understand that there must be a solid incentive, that's why we are focusing to reach a wide range of cryptocurrency projects listing them for free until we get enough popular and have a stable trading volume. There are already some projects waiting to get listed on Dontoshi Exchange, and as soon as we start listing new projects I believe communities will spread the news.

In the beginning we start listing ERC20 I believe developers do that because it's easier and require less effort / funding.
Projects that fill all the fields will have priority, I am not sure if it is obligatory. Twitter and telegram are very important, but we approach every project individually.

what point in running a centralized exchange nowadays? you can't suggest something that don't have Binance, Huobi, OKex, Bittrex, Liquid etc
You probably won't  even raise any money, just give up guys, the train is gone

In this manner there is no point for Tesla to compete with Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen, Toyota, Nissan etc.
Probably Tesla have to close the business.

Thank you for your nice suggestion, don't try to run a business because others already do it.

Yes you can sign up and start trading, there are only few listings of native tokens and BTC ETH pairs. We will start adding listings this month November 2018.

I agree with the pawel777's suggestion of focusing first with promising coins. And after that, you can conduct a signature campaign as a suggested since most of the traders are taking time to stay here in the forum for discussion. You may not see the effect quickly but as you operate in the long run that will contribute as another source of your traffic. It may be difficult for new exchanges to become well known but that's part of business and beginning's are always the hardest.

Thank you for your support, we already start contacting new projects and most of them are willing to co-operate. You can check it on the twitter account activity. It will take a long time to become a little bit popular of course, we will keep working and try every possible tool to improve everything we do.

Your welcome. As long as you have the good intention of competing with the large exchanges and you think that you are capable of it then you are good to be supported. But I'm also taking precautions because some scammers are taking of the advantage by making a new exchange. I hope that you'll never stop working with your exchange and can see you in the future as one of the competitive exchange that traders can jump if we're dry up with the popular ones.
