How do I make people aware of my ICO?
It's hard or almost not going to work these days. People are done with ICOs and that's why you should also remove that hope for it, sorry to discourage you but that's the reality that only a few invest with ICOs these days and they're even more meticulous because of its past that has been bombarded with scams and fake projects. It's about the trust that you need to get and not just all about marketing.
Thanks for your reply @Blockman.
I continue to see on icoholder, ico drops and other websites that ico's are still raking in large amounts of money for their projects. In any case, your answer confirms that it is important for future investors to be able to read a detailed white paper. During my research, I kept coming across ico's, which received more than 200,000 dollars in funds and presented a poorly detailed white paper. that's why i think that if you are open with people and don't hide any details, it should still be possible to get nice amounts from ico's.
Telegram is a strong avenue -- there are still tons of Telegram groups dedicated to token launches/ICOs/IEOs. Same with Twitter. ICOs are not yielding the same level of return they did in 2017-2018, raising tens of millions of dollars, but there are still ICOs out there raising a decent amount of money when done correctly. You'll need strong materials though: a one pager, a white paper, a website, stuff that legitimizes and deeply explains your project so you build trust.
Thanks for your reply @zooboomafoo1234.
What do you mean by a strong one paper?
Exactly as you describe it are my ideas, that's how I want to do it. Should I, if I post my ico on different ico-publishing websites in the calendar, generate organic attention on my own? Everyone in my team will stand for the project with their name and face, we have project-specific luminaries and masters of science economy on board.
Now to my question. How do I make people aware of my ICO?
This is the most difficult part beside the token creation contract audit and etc. attracting people was not an easy task and you shall do various marketing and shilling your project to attract the new users to come in your ico. It seems like that the launch pad project has become a new choice for you but this needs some criteria to be fulfilled. I think that you shall do marketing and shilling your project. The accuracy was not so big but there's also another way through create a partnership with popular project or get venture capital.
Thanks for your reply @bittick.
You mean the launchpad offer from binance? through which channels do i draw the attention of venture capital providers to the project? do you have some tips? Thank you very much for this input, I hadn't even thought of this type of capitalization.
[/quote] You need good marketing to make people aware on your ICO or projects, team that build a projects doing bounty and signature campaign on bitcointalk furom to make people aware of the project and make the investors aware on it. Social media campaign is now a very simple way to extend information with the projects concept and use case.

Thank you for your reply @MiF. What exactly are the bounty and signature campaigns on the Bitcointalk forums? Do people who have invested in my ICO receive an extra bonus in the form of a bounty if they post their investment publicly in the forum? Or how does this work?
If you want to notice your project then tap services of popular sites like icodrops. But mind you they are only listing on their marketing site a good and potential one. Now if you can provide details and products or anything that could let them say yes. Then this project of youts could go somewhere. However, as I read a 50% profit sharr is something we all knew is a big no no. Anything higher reward means something shady cause how could you earn from it if the rewards are too high. Too good to be true offer end up nowhere.
Thank you for your reply @cryptoaddictchie
50% of the investment sum is not paid out quarterly as a return, that would be utopian. instead, the profit generated is paid out equally between the company and the investors, this corresponds to a profit sharing of 50% for the investors and 50% for the company. There are enough companies that have cheated amounts with ico. but that doesn't make sense to me if you can achieve more together in the long term and can still fall back on the ico tool for future projects.
Even if the marketing is done properly, I don't believe that crypto enthusiasts will devote their time in a newly launched ICO. I'm not saying your idea isn't good; it's just that, in the past, interest in initial coin offerings (ICOs) has declined.
The only trend that other people might still have an interest are NFT's which are pretty similar on how ICO works back in the days! If I may recommend, rather than taking a much riskier approach, I would invest my resources on building a brick and mortar business. It maybe slow, but it surely is organic.
Many thanks @mouse0728
basically it's a brick and mortar business. I see it the same way you do, physical work is less risky than programmed, high-tech work. The ico should only be the vehicle for financing. The winnings are generated in the real world and are physically present.
I learned a few things about the NFT hype and Memecoin especially how to market these kinds of projects by recruiting influencers as a marketing strategy. Some argue that this is an unethical way because it employs people who are not in their field.
Before moving on to the marketing stage, I would like to remind you that there are several bidding methods that go beyond ICOs such as launchpad and IDO.
Many thanks for your reply @noorman0
would it be good to do an ICO and binance launchpad at the same time. speaks against it?
it would also be possible to sell nft of the project and replace the vehicle ico with nft. I have hardly dealt with nfts and am not well versed in the subject area
As a investor I always walk away from any project that use ICO because its certain that the sale isn't going to happen on popular platforms like Binance exchange or Daomaker, people won't invest in your project you need to use IEO at least mate, ICO has been long forgotten and people have moved on.
Thank you for your input @s3300
Of course, a project on binance or daomaker is more trustworthy. I noticed that myself on the ico's websites. I often ask myself how people get money for projects that are poorly described, hardly provide any information about the people and are pursuing a project that can only possibly bring added value. so i think i can stand out from the shady crowd with my well designed project for which a swiss company is founded. i think it is extremely difficult to get listed on binance or daomaker.
Thank you for your input @dwminer1
I don't think the bear market is a good time to launch an ICO. However, you can use this time to plan effective actions. There are many guides on the Internet on how to go about it and what elements to pay attention to. For my part, I could recommend this one:
https://beincrypto.com/learn/how-to-launch-an-ico/As for the promotion of the project itself, the best methods for years have been social media and influencers. It is worth using channels such as telegram, discord, twitter or youtube. And I advise you to follow the current market trends, such as DeFi or NFT in recent years.
I will read up on the topics you mentioned and if I may ask questions about them. if i understand it correctly, i can sell ''nfts of the project'' instead of ico-tokens, which represent the value you invest in the project. is that correct?
