What should we need to do for a successful ico

[b1k4ng]

ICO is very difficult to gather investors and investors also lose interest in ICO, now IEO is becoming a trend in selling tokens, I only recommend you to do IEO not ICO, but remember if you really want to do IEO don't choose exchanges that have a bad reputation

Hi everyone , We hope to Launch a ICO in next month ,  So we need to complete our ICO successfully , So we need your IDEAS to launch a successfull ICO campaign...

What should we do except bounty and Airdrop?

First of all, you have to consider that your project is useful and can be used by most people.

As for promotion way, it depends on your team and your budget to be spent.

In this forum, there are two ways to promoting a project i.e bounty campaign that paid in your token and signature campaign that paid in bitcoin.

It up to your team, but if I am in your team I'll choose signature campaign that paid in bitcoin, most likely the project that held signature campaign will be interesting because you can choose some good users in this forum to promote your project and this thing will give a good review for your project.

I have not seen any successful ICO project this year. So you should also be careful with your decisions, it is difficult to raise funds with the ICO. Investors were scared of it because there were so many scams and they lost too much money. Try IEO at exchanges like Bittrex, Kucoin, Gate ... Surely your project will be supported and successful.

So they choose IEO then what next?  Conducting an ICO or  IEO will yield the same result if they do nothing about their campaign.  

I think you need the following:

1.  Right Portal to advertise your project.
2.  Prove that you are a capable and legitimate team.
3.  Try to designate an ambassador for your target countries.
4.  Should have a professional-looking website.
5.  A realistic road map that will attract investors

You don't need anything than
1. Good use case for your token to be more demanding
2. Good exchange for IEO fund raising

Don't even think about using ICO to raise fund, it's never going to bring good result, IEO projects from top exchanges easily raise requires funds, Hardcap target become piece of cake for top Exchanges to handle.

Drop the ICO as it outdated and switch to IEO to increase your chance of success. Hold the promotion with bounties and airdrops to let the community spread the words of your coin.

Please if your project is not novel or solve any real life scenario which has not been explore or it is under-explore, I will advise you not to waste your time, energy and money. You can go to the ANN thread on the forum and look at many of projects that are having an ICO, 95% of them will turn to be unsuccessful unless you also plan to be one of the dev. However, if you have a solid project, I will encourage you firstly to seek for cooperation from relevant crypto communities. I will also advise if you intend to launch bounty. I do not give a bogus allocation to the campaign just because you want many hunters to help you promote your campaign. You can advertise on other crypto platforms such etherscan, CMC, Coingecko etc. Also make sure you already have a well developed platform and you have already start working on the project. Do not wait until you get funds from ICO before you start working on your roadmap.
In case you change your mind and want to switch to IEO, please do not even consider any of below exchange platform for the IEO
Latoken
p2b2b
probit
sistemkoin
Exmarkets
Coineal
IDAX
VinDAX
Shortex

First question, do you have enough funds to list your tokens on trusted exchanges? If yes, just choose a trusted exchange to list your token first and provide IEO there. It is the only way to attract people to join or support your project. Please don't plan for ICO, it will risk your project and probably ends with less interest of investors. ICO era has been over, the real investors now avoid buying token/coins from an ICO. Be smart to choose the way to have fundraising, buddy!!

[Pomogator]

IEO This will of course be the best advertisement for you. Moreover, in the future you will not encounter the problem of listing a coin on the exchange. I think IEO will work well with bounty and airdrop.

[bitgolden]

Do not forget to distribute people money but also give them a good reason to work for you while not getting screwed at the same time. When you do bounty there is usually a sweet spot where you actually spend a good amount of money for getting a good amount of work, if you pay a lot more you are getting screwed and they will dump it and make your coin worthless, if you pay less they will not work for it at all or do a bad job.

I would say if you want to do bounty, just talk with people who have done it before, if you can find a marketing person who has done bounty before and willing to work with you, it will not really cost a lot to hire them, few thousand dollars at most in return of getting someone who has done the job before and can do the same thing again for you as well.

Ideas, concepts, products are the most important things for the success of a project. However, as we have seen many new ideas emerge, promising concepts and quality products but ultimately do not match expectations. if you plan to create a project, you must be honest, serious in developing the project and certainly can attract the attention of investors, partners and users in it.

[seoincorporation]

This is a tricky question... I think if you can warrant the ICO will not run with the investor's money, then you will have a successful ICO.

And that-s the problem people don't trust in ICO's anymore because more than 90% of them ends in a exit scam.

[ecnalubma]

ICO had already a bad reputation so don’t apply it unless you can convince some of investors in your project. IEO is better if you can list in exchange like Binance its the best, well atleast try to make your project transparent for investors confidence.

I do not see anything wrong with ICO, yes there are lots of ICO projects that turned out to be a scam but if OP wanted to be different, they can pull it through as long as they have the knowledge, findings, and right people who can advertise their projects.

Not all do not trust ICO's.  You will be amazed that there are still people who invest in a legit ICO.


BTW, here is a read from Investopedia about successful ICO : What Makes for a Successful ICO?

And here is another one from finance Digest:  How to Ensure A Successful and Trustworthy ICO

[StephenJH]

Most people have already lost interest in ICO projects, maybe you should focus only on IEO projects. For than reason l advise you to prefer IEO projects than ICO. l don't think you can get success from ICO projects, that is why there is just fewer chance to make something good with ICO. Of course, that doesn't mean ICO consists absolutely from scammers, but most of them are just fraud, that is just fact.

   You need to be trustworthy! I think it's all in that one word, but it's harder to do it than to say it! Everything
you say do it like that! Is it bounty or road map, try to do what you said you will. If you are trustworthy you
will have loyal followers and supporters, and with good idea everyone can make a good profit in years to come.

Yes. Investors will definitely invest in a project if they see the the potentials in you. Trust should always be there so that people will support you all the way. Spend as much as you can for the welfare of the project because if it will turn out successful in the end, you will eventually make huge profits to gain.

I think to be able to make an ICO successful is to create a project that is truly useful for many people and certainly can provide many benefits for users and investors, because at the moment there are few ico that have such goals, most of them developers are only thinking how developers get money from ico.

[SlimShadyMmp]

I really think is going to take alot of convincing to actually make people really back ICOs these days Not that there arent any going on but I think mostly private investment does more good but then again you need some serious good marketing and focus on what you aim to achieve with your campaign

[CaVO32]

If you are having a project which is going to deal a real-world application or you're going to focus on solving a long existing problem then you can go for ICO. Otherwise it would be much better to focus on other things except conducting ICOs. Anyhow I am sure that you are going to face very hard time to convince people to contribute in your ICO. Because, people here got complete frustration out of lots of scammy ICOs. So, there are only 25% chances for a successful ICO. I'm not here to discourage you but I am just starting the facts.

Even I am hating IEOs and I prefer only ICOs because of the welfare of people of this community espl bounty hunters, I like to suggest you to go for contacting any exchange for IEOs. Because only with IEO, there could be some chances for raising big amount of money for your project development; given that I am assuming you're working for a real project. Good luck .

And they need to meticulously select the exchange as the reputation is very important. So what it sits right now, is that ICOs are not a sure thing anymore to raise funds for the project. You should have solid foundation and as much as possible as FanEagle has mentioned, you should be dealing with real world app so as to gain active users. With that being mentioned, it is better to have your app up and running before you do your ICO, so potential investors will see that you are serious in implementing your project. If not, it will be the same with all the other past ICOs. Good words/texts are not selling anymore these days.
