Promotion methods. Dark & Bitcointalk?

[tabas]

@OP to give you an idea on how effective advertising through the forum with campaigns is that the effect might only be visible to your company if you'll run in the long term. Such campaigns that do stay for a couple of weeks or months won't get the best results.

We are also interested in why Bitcoin mixers are advertised here and not on the dark web.

Most people there are already aware of how to keep their privacy thus, you may unlikely see advertisements there from a mixer. And mixer companies are likely aware of that so, the target market could be those that are still unaware of its existence and the brand that they endorse. My opinion could also be wrong about that.

I don't know anything about advertisement on the dark web (and AFAIK Bitcointalk doesn't have onion address), but in this forum it's pretty straight forward I think.

• First you introduce your exchange by creating Service Thread in Service Announcement section
• Second you run a campaign in this forum, there is a list of trusted campaign manager you can check here (LIST) Campaign Management Services  or here Overview of Bitcointalk Signature Anti-Spam Campaign Managers
• Third, you can also place an ads that will appear on on some thread on this forum, check the rules here Bitcointalk AdInfo
  

Last but not least, since you are posting with Newbie account, and your question in this post seems like all over the place, I advice to move/post this question in the Beginners and Help section

The forum bitcointalk is an entire different platforms from the dark web you're referring to, if you're interested in making an advertisement here on the forum, there's no much demands on that than to finds time to create your offers on service discussion board, if you want to make use of dark web, you will need stuffs like Tor browser while the bitcointalk community does not make use of such requirements before you can join or make an advert.

I do not think that you will find ways to promote the dark web here in the forum. Here campaigns are promoted on the surface internet and you will not find campaigns promoted on the dark web. The reason is that the forum does not want to get into legal problems with the government because the government believes that most of the services on the dark web are illegal.

For mixers most of them have strong signature campaigns here on the forum with great success, however most mixers have a dark web address in addition to the normal web address so you can combine the two types of promotion.

Focusing on platforms like Bitcointalk, which provide a legitimate and regulated environment for cryptocurrency discussions, is recommended to reach a wider and more relevant audience while maintaining a positive brand image.

I'm not sure what does "regulated" mean here. If you're referring to how government regulate ads and provide sanction for scammers, I don't think that's the case here. Forum members can give negative feedback and so on, but I'd not call it a regulated environment. At least that's my understanding of the moderation policy.[1] CMIIW.

I do agree that you need to follow the forum rules to maintain a decent brand image here. Spamming your service on your post would likely make you end up on ignore list or even a ban.

Considering that he failed to get any merits in more than 5 years, probably it means that he have no idea what he is talking about. If there would be ''legitimate and regulated environment'', then probably scams like 1xbit wouldn't be allowed to advertise here. Actually, with regualtions and similar stuff then probably only exchanges with KYC requirements would be able to advertise on Bitcointalk.
