New to signature campaigns, questions.

[BlackHatCoiner]

Hello, yesterday I completed a week on my second signature campaign and received $25 in bitcoin. I would like to know your experience on this. When did you start? Do you consider this place a nice way to earn some profit every month? Were there any times where signature campaign paid very well like $50+ for Sr Members. I'm thinking on continuing doing this. I'm active on bitcointalk, my favourite forum, about cryptocurrency, which I love talking about it, and am I getting paid to do this? Hell yeah!

I find it pretty smart that we can all make some money by posting on a forum. Helping and discussing. Literally no one loses this way. The campaign manager gets paid because he organised the topic and the spreadsheet, we get paid because we advertised a product, the person that wants to advertise his product gets paid because members click on our signatures and discover the site. It's a win-win.

Well, I say congrats to your first second campaign, almost everyone here experienced how you feels.

I start wayback 2016 with Full member rank. AFAIR, Sr members have at least earn 100$-200 and hero/legendary is $300-$400 wayback 2017 and that's each week due to higher bitcoin price.

If you're asking if its nice way to earn, then I say yes, posting relevant and quality topics/posts, and sitting facing your desktop is nothing compared to work rl that needs to travel or with an screamer boss. Though this forum is for everyone but sigcamp is not for everyone.

Idk if this is the proper board for this thread, maybe B&H.

the great thing for you, though it's a surprise you're just as Full member started with signature earnings here.
just try not to overdo with writing useless posts just to fill signature campaign quota. Then very easily can switch to a group of spammers and it will be very difficult for you to get involved in a better rate paid campaign.

You can participate in the forum, being a good member, help the others and join signature campaigns. If you are good member and have good contributions, you sooner or later will be part of a good paid signature campaign. Your rank will be a top that brings more payment for your posts too.

The signature industry can be shutdown by theymos anytime.

What are everyone's ideas for improving post quality?

I have mostly ruled out:

- Removing signatures or sig ads globally.

A lot of people come here primarily looking to make money. The forum administration is very happy that people are able to use the forum in order to better themselves; indeed, one of the reasons for Bitcoin's creation was to break the artificial barriers which prevent so many people around the world from attaining prosperity. However, if your attempts to make money conflict with the forum's primary goal of enabling discussion, then you are swimming upstream, and you will not be sucessful in the end.

Writing a welcome message
Since 2018, what did you contribute to prevent signature ads removed globally?

I'll tell you what I believe about shitposters. Yes, they've come here to shitpost in order to get paid. Although, I see that the problem isn't the shitposters, but those who hire them. I see some campaigns that pay per post, these are the worst. Why? Well, all the shitposters go there, it isn't always necessary to have a high rank, member and up is accepted. They don't care if you create quality posts at all.

Signature campaigns that ask from the member to create constructive posts are the ones that make the forum a better place. Also, they are the ones that pay more ^^

[Pffrt]

I can't remember when I first started signature campaign but it will not be before 2018. It's a privilege to us. Nothing else. It will never give you a living.

it isn't always necessary to have a high rank

It matters and that's why there has restrictions, privileges on different ranks. For higher ranks, there are options to have better impression with different privileges like colors, background, font size etc.

Congrats to earning per week. Its still a job. Marketing job for online company like casino and exchanges.
There are still campaigns that accept Members like the 777 and Bitvest campaign. The fee isn't outstanding but you will still value it because its BTC than just receiving some tokens from a team that hasn't listed to an exchange. When the price of BTC moons, the worth of the coins you gathered will also be much than what is it today.

[shield132]

Theymos allows signature campaigns on bitcointalk because he lets users to earn some money while posting here, otherwise he wouldn't let it happen and there would be higher value on ads on this forum. It's like here is allowed to post high quality posts and help each other while enjoying the benefits of sig campaign at the same time. But it's not respected when someone posts here just for money and spams on this forum.
Signature campaigns drive traffic on this website and opposite, business gets promoted this way. It's like symbiotic and synergistic relationship.

And about payments, you can check Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns and see payment rates. During bitcointalk's history, chipmixer is the highest paying sig campaign with paid btc / current USD value. Otherwise as far as I remember, Qtum was the highest paying campaign, upto 0.065 BTC / week.

Well congratz buddy.!

I have seen that you had just registered only for this year and you do already had enough merits for you to become a Sr. member soon when your activity reach out in 250.
I must say that only a few would able to reach that level or merits earned which does signify that you are good poster.When talking about campaigns then yeah it does give out
that opportunity for you to earn but to think that this isnt a job that you can rely on.Every signature does have its own duration and when you do tend to make it as a living
then think not because it doesnt work that way.Its just good for some side income while you do contribute into this forum.

[harizen]

Take it as a benefit while doing your usual forum activity. Of course, just always be kind to others and follow forum rules.

I'm a forum enthusiast for over a decade and been involved in several forums already but this is the only forum I have seen wherein users are getting a chance to get paid while posting.

I never expected that kind of work here since the only reason why I landed at this forum is to gained knowledge about crypto as a whole. So regardless if there's a signature campaign here or not, I will be an active member here. And back then, lots of campaigns accepting newbie rank so that's where it all started.

[LTU_btc]

I can't remember when exactly I started my first signature campaign. Probably it was somewhere back in 2016. During my first months on Bitcointalk I had no idea what is signature campaigns. I was posts where users said that signature campaigns is good way to make money - I thought "WTF is it". And for me it was strange to see multiple users wearing same signatures. Then I just thought that they are working in that company and promoting it in signature like their personal business.
For me signature campaign is just a way to earn some extra money and increase my crypto savings. Offcourse, it would be possible to earn for a living through signature campaigns, but then I would need multiple accounts and dedicate much more time for forum.
I wouldn't say that signature campaigns is win-win thing for everyone completely. If campaign isn't managed properly, it makes damage to content of forum. It's not secret that some people here are just to make money and they are posting just to reach their weekly posts quota. Maybe they don't go off-topic, but they often post generic stuff, repeat what was already said and don't add any value to discussion. It's not good thing for readers.

[OcTradism]

You can begin your works with signature on the forum then can decide to end it someday like eternalgloom The end of an era for me: Leaving Signature Campaign

There is no harm or threat to the community if you wear signature, avatar and at the same time, put decent efforts and make your good posts to help the community. If you feel you are under huge pressure because of signature, avatar, weekly post quota and feel like your post quality is decreasing, it will be a time to consider to halt your works for a while.

[SFR10]

Do you consider this place a nice way to earn some profit every month?

I wouldn't call it a profit but instead, an extra income on the side while earning in real life.
^{- Nothing beats a real job (traditionally) though.}

the person that wants to advertise his product gets paid because members click on our signatures and discover the site. It's a win-win.

That's not always the case, hence they come and go.

Although, I see that the problem isn't the shitposters, but those who hire them. I see some campaigns that pay per post, these are the worst. Why? Well, all the shitposters go there, it isn't always necessary to have a high rank, member and up is accepted. They don't care if you create quality posts at all.

I wouldn't generalize it like that...

<sup>- I can easily point to an ongoing pay per post campaign that's also considered as one of the best in here (for a very long time).
- It's all about the person that manages those types of campaigns (like what you said on the initial part in your statement).</sup>

Signature campaigns that ask from the member to create constructive posts are the ones that make the forum a better place.

Some of the campaigns with that rule have done little to nothing to fully enforce it.

[Bitcoin_Arena]

Based on how long ago some members joined signature campaigns, I would say mine was not so long ago (Around Jan or Feb 2019). The sig campaign i joined was paying 0.003 BTC per week(10 USD at that time) for my Member Rank. Senior members where earning 0.006 BTC (20 USD) of course it wasn't the highest of paying campaigns as there was a couple of good paying campaigns such as Chipmixer, Bitblender, Bitsler etc

Signature campaigns are a good source of side income, not as a main source of earning of course because, anytime they can end. Over the couple of years my earns have mostly gone to increasing my bitcoin holdings and trading.

The best thing about Bitcoin paying signature campaigns is that they made me realize the beauty about bitcoin. Honestly if i never participated in any Bitcoin paying signature campaigns, I wouldn't have known much about bitcoin. From how the protocol works to the best practices to safely store BTC. All I Knew back then was just trading on localbitcoins. You receive the BTC but you don't know how the blocks are mined, how the fees are calculated, what the bitcoin white paper say etc 
For this I am really grateful that Theymos  and  other admins didn't interfere and left the signature advertisement campaigns running. If I am to leave the forum today, I will leave it an entirely different person equipped with much more knowledge than I had 2-3 years back and this can help me better myself.

Looking on the merits he do earned then its clear that he wont be considered into those spammers and only a few would really able to rank up on high levels.I remember those days where even Sr. member rates do hit up $40-60 but still you can still find these kind of campaigns nowadays but a rare one.

Usually Legendary/Hero would already have that rate and lower ranks is logically much lower but it doesn't matter yet the gap or difference isn't really that high.

We cant deny that signature campaign earnings is much better rather than wasting your time on focusing on faucets.

Signature campaigns are a good source of side income, not as a main source of earning of course because, anytime they can end.

This is it, it might a good source of income but never depend on it as your main source of income. This forum has good benefits to the users who established their accounts very well, through their effort giving good discussions makes them easy to rank up and I think that was the OP is. Even me, due to the interest to learn about blockchain stuff, I'm still here in the forum even though I have a job outside, as matter of fact, they aren't conflicting with my schedule. I have time to give and share ideas in the forum and including signature campaign is my extra earning aside from my main job.

If you're a newbie and a member that didn't even earn merit to rank up, forgot getting profit on the forum. Instead, focus on learning in the forum and blockchain stuff. Just focus and try your best in the forum, being a well-established member will easily have spotted in any campaign that you wanted to join.

[Botnake]

Enjoy the privilege for being enrolled in a campaign, but you can consider that as a job since there is no job security, campaign could stop anytime and it will left you hanging while you are still looking for some campaign where you can work again. I hope being active in the forum will not only be dictated by the reward of posting, that would not give a quality result as a poster.

Hey @BlackHatCoiner, it's been a while since the last time I saw you, I can still remember that time when you are still a Newbie asking various question with regards to how bitcoin works and the nature of the bitcoin community itself and here you are now making big leap on your journey and successfuly joined a signature campaign while maintaining your dedication to improve on a daily basis.

In my personal point of view though, joining on a signature campaign wherein the payrate does not equally compensate the amount of required post per week is an indication of red flag. What I mean of "red flag" is that sometimes the amount of time you invest on a specific weekspan of posting does not equally compensate your hardwork and has the tendency to spam post due to the tremendous pressure to keep up with the excessive amount of minimum required post.

I think that having a minimum of 25 post/week is quite good for a $50 payrate. Anyways, just enjoy posting and keep feeding your brain with a lot of stuff that can be found here.

this is a very good forum, we can earn Bitcoin by following campaigns and discussing topics...
I joined this forum at the end of 2017, even though it didn't generate much Bitcoin from the campaign that I participated in, including the signature, at least I am grateful that I can help my family finances. just like you, I feel smart and grateful to be able to discuss in this forum and generate Bitcoin from it.

[joniboini]

I personally started joining BTC sig campaign in 2018 or 2019 (can't remember exactly when). Most of my campaign last for 4 months or so, and I get paid from $25 when I was a Full Member. I always considered as a plus to my time on this forum, and never considered it as a 'reliable' source of income. You must be aware too that like any other gigs, campaign can end anytime.

Compared to the previous years, it seems like most campaign rates are hovering around $25-$50 for now, and there are probably one or two campaign that pay more than $75 a week. Don't get tricked by the rate though, especially if you can't browse the forum regularly. Getting paid for 10 post at $2/post is better than $50 for 100 post. So choose carefully.
