There are many ways to make a living from Bitcointalk forum. Over 3.5 Million to 4.0 Million visit per month, a huge audience. Crypto projects are looking for these hot leads and it opens a wide door for you because fortunately you are a part of the crowd. There are many like me who are making a good living from ecosystem. Unfortunately many members do not realize the big picture, and they miss out the opportunity. Obviously there are many others who do not care about the money at all because for them this space is to have fun and help bitcoin to grow. Many of these are early bitcoin holders and now they are enjoying their fortune. But the rest of us need a business or a job for living.
Here are some already established ideas for you to earn a living from the community:
- Signature campaign
- Campaign management
- Launch your own crypto project
- Lending service
- Escrow service
You can invent your own ideas. Sky is limitless.
Lending service and Escrow service are not going to make you rich. In fact with a Lending service you are at risk to lose your hard earned money. I experienced it once and I know a few members who also lost money in this business. I do not recommend a Lending service to anyone but if you are a well established member then you can have your own escrow service. Slow business but it will bring you some pocket money once in a while.
But this thread is not about pocket money, this thread is to help you realizing that you have the real opportunities and you are missing it. You will live a high living, yearly $100k or more is not impossible. I know it because I earn it.
Reading here will help you to realize and have a strong believe if you are in doubt. I have no reason to hide anything, that can help someone else. You can not take any of the money that I earn, you can not take away the experience and the knowledge from me. I deserved what I earn. Hard work and having a goal pays very well. If you can apply some of what I do, in your own way (be creative not a copy-paste person) then I believe you will be able to make a change in your living.
The best of all is to have your own crypto project. Ethereum founder and many more built their big business from this community. However, for that you will need to be highly skilled, a great visionary, like Satoshi (Vitalik Buterin extended the idea in his own way). Even if you are not a visionary but have a huge amount of wealth then you can launch a casino, a mixer, be a owner of an exchange, and many other business, it can be a physical product too. Launch the business, assemble a team, hire a good campaign manager, advertise on the forum, advertise in other place to bring traffic to your website, your business will grow. We saw mixers: Chipmixer, Sinbad; gambling platforms: Stake, Sportsbet.io; exchanges: Kucoin, Best_Change. There are countless examples we already have.
But for an ordinary person like many of us who are not great visionary, and don't have huge amount of wealth - for us campaign management or even joining in a signature campaign can earn a good living IF we are doing things correctly.
This topic is for ordinary persons like us. So let's focus on how an ordinary person can earn a very good living from this platform.
1. Joining Signature Campaigns
2. Become a campaign manager.
How to sell your signature spaceLet's start with the common thinking of the forum members when it is about joining in a signature campaign. You think if you can become a legendary member then you can earn high income (may be $100, $150 or even $250 per week). You see many Legendary members are doing it and you think if they get paid such high payment ($1,000 monthly) then once you will become a Legendary you will have the same income. You are wrong. There are many Legendary members who struggle to have a spot in signature campaigns. They goes from one manager to another, beg for a spot. Manager response them: We/I will see what we can do. But you never receive a message from the managers inviting you in their campaigns. However, there are some other type of Legendary members even Hero/Sr. Members - they are always wanted in managers' campaigns. Managers always keep them in their contact list. Build good relationships with them so that they can easily have the member in their signature campaigns. They do whatever it takes to make them happy. They race with each other with their offers: A offers $200/w, then B offers $250/w with additional benefits that ordinary forum members can never dream about.
Which types of member you are?
You run after the managers or managers are looking you?
(To be clear, I do not see anything wrong when manager approaches the members and members are approaching to managers. But when you are approaching to managers or a the brand owners, be sure that you have built a strong position in the community and you are valuable to the community, your posts are worthy to read, your ideas, solutions are affective for others. You can fake it if you are not the person in real but you can always be a good character. After all it's a forum where nobody knows you, your writing represents you).
So, how to become a highly valuable Bitcointalk member?
You want to be a wanted bitcointalk member for the managers, you want to receive exclusive offers constantly to enjoy your position. You can even approach by your own to brand owners. But first you need to work hard. You need to show that you are a community person. Build a good strong reputation. Do things that will separate you from others.
I will share two ideas to become a valuable members:
1. Your goal is to earn merit and be in the DT system: Towards this road you need to start creating contents like scam accusations, scam busting, alt finding, spam reporting and many more aggressive volunteer contribution. Don't forget to show off everything that you do, if needed, make a list of the things you did, keep everything in one place. Once you have a basic ground then you need to join some gangs or clubs. Build a trust list that supports the gangs. Share common interest whenever you have a chance with them. Keep good relationship with the gang members, don't limit yourself in the gangs always. There are many members who are not part of any gang but individually they earned so much respects that everyone admire them. Share the same views that they like, they want to hear from you. As the result, you will find a lot of highly influential members in your side if you can do things properly. Regularly exchange PMs with them, seek help whenever you need, ask shelter when you are in a situation that an anti-gang is attacking you or specific individuals who are too powerful than you and you can not handle them alone. Don't try to be a hero by your own. Continue, be patient - merit will come, your DT strength will increase, your feedback page will start becoming green and greener even without having any real trade history.
2. Your goal is truly to contribute:
You are in this community because you love Bitcoin and you truly want everyone to understand Bitcoin, understand the benefit of decentralized currency system. You help people when they need information, you create highly valuable contents that are educational, people learn new things from you. They apply it in their own life and benefit from it. You do not care about merit, DT power, rank, becoming a merit source and everything else. But because of your exclusive knowledge, high intellectual character - merit, trust, rank and everything else including money became an easy coming for you.
You pick which road is for you but in any case please don't scam, don't troll. Don't think you are going to oversmart everyone if you do anything wrong or planning to make a wrong step. Eventually you will be exposed and will have a bad end. There are many examples in the community who had big accounts but one mistake even a small one destroyed everything.
Now that you proved your value, worked hard - you are one of the wanted forum member for managers. Managers will find you or in cases you are ready to expose yourself to the potential brand owners. Manages will offer you to join their campaigns. You can even reach out to managers for custom deals. But in this case you need a good pitch so that you can sell yourself and show that you are worthy for the managers or the project owners. We will study such a few sales pitches now and will try to learn from real life examples.
Sample sales pitch (don't copy paste but understand the idea and take notes that you need, then create one for yourself):
Hello <insert company name>!
I am sending you this PM to kindly ask you about a business proposal.
As you know, ChipMixer campaign ended abruptly yesterday and I was part of it. As a consequence, my signature space is available for rent now. I thought about you as I am (obviously) a huge fan or privacy and anonymity.
I know that your campaign is open now, yet I thought to send you this business proposal as I would only want to rent my signature space (and, eventually, my Personal Text), without my avatar, which is a sort of custom deal. I would like to wear your signature. My avatar is currently rented by <insert a username>, as you can see, so I can only offer my signature space. If needed, I may also rent my Personal Text, although I would prefer to keep it
personal.
What I will win from this deal: a fair amount for renting my signature space.
What you will win from this deal: a user with high reputation on the forum wearing your signature, bringing more visibility about <insert company name> and bringing more credibility & trust for <insert company name>.
What I can tell you about me is the following:- I was part of the ChipMixer signature campaign since February 2023 until it ended. This campaign was known for accepting only very high-quality posters.
- According to bpip, I am the 36th user with most earned merit and 46th user with most merit. At same time, I am the second most merited user by theymos. If you'd accept me, I would be in top 2 users with most merits from all which wear <the brand name> signature.
- My current merit vs. activity ratio is of 3.26 and my merit vs. posts ratio is 1.24, being one of the few users which ever managed to achieve (and keep) a number of merits higher than the number of posts. I am also one of the very few users which ever sent and received (more than one) 50-merit bombs.
- Considering the moment when I earned my first merit, it took me 2 weeks for reaching the 10 merits necessary for Member rank, 27 days for reaching the 100 merits necessary for Full Member rank, 3.5 months for reaching the 250 merits necessary for Sr. Member rank, 5.5 months for reaching the 500 merits necessary for Hero rank and 357 days for reaching the 1000 merits necessary for Legendary rank. I am the first Romanian member which becomes Legendary after the merit system was implemented, by starting from scratch.
- I am DT member since March 2022.
- I've created many historic and educational topics. A part of them can be found here. As you can see, many users are translating my articles in their languages.
- I am the Romanian translator of Bitcoin white paper from bitcoin.org. At same time, I am one of forum's best translators, collaborating, so far, with users like <insert some usernames> and others. My full portfolio can be found here. Recently I also became part of [AOBT] The Alliance Of Bitcointalk Translators.
- I am one of forum's best reporters, with more than 60.000 good reports. In September 2021, according to an announcement made by theymos, I was the fourth most efficient reporter of year 2020. For this work I did, I won BitcoinTalk Community Events 2022 edition, at Best SpamBuster category. At same time, I was chosen by icopress for helping him with votes counting of Bitcointalk Community Awards 2021 edition and with some more organizing of the 2022 edition of this wonderful contest (votes counting, establishing rules, suggestions, maintaining the historic quiz topic etc.).
- Together with 1miau, I involved in a campaign for improving posting quality for local boards. While the results of the campaign can not be quantified with numbers, the outcomes, so far, are promising.
- After months of investigative work and after many unsuccessful attempts performed by many others, I managed to find the truth about paraipan, ex-forum treasurer which held 250 BTC. Investigation showed he did not steal the coins.
- Needless to say, I am one of the only 5 users wearing <insert a username> avatar, being accepted in the <insert a club / gang name> in January 2021.
You can read more about me inside
my reputation thread.
Please let me know if you are interested.
Looking forward for your reply,
Gazeta.
Highlight that differ you from others. Let's take many important notes from the example, let's study it:
The member started with a business proposal. Then intimidatingly he used the best ever achievement he had: in the Chipmixer campaign. Make a good impression, use the first few seconds. Then follow the start to create an environment so that you can show that you are impressive.
The member highlighted everything he achieved so far (the time the script was created).
The avatar space that rented by <insert the username of a highly respected forum member>.
The high reputation they earned working hard all these years.
Now it's time to justify what you said, answer the whys. In the next few paragraphs it was done nicely.
He included his merit, positions he earned from the merits. Theymos (that's admin of the whole bitcointalk forum) merited him.
Don't stop there, show that you are the best from everyone else in the specific campaign of the company that is already managed by a manager.
Don't forget the merit ratio. Tell them when you earned your first merit and then how long it took you to be the Legendary.
You worked hard to be a DT, specify your DT achievement too.
The member worked hard to create educational contents, even an owner of a thread where many helped him, take the credit for it.
The member has contribution in bitcoin whitepaper, is listed in the forum translators list, his full portfolio, his participation in the part of translators Alliance. Don't miss anything.
Include your contribution on the forum reporting.
Do not forget about it. The member even highlighted that the admin listed him on the reporters list, winning the community reward, helping a campaign manager for a community work (community works are the best contribution for bragging yourself - sometimes regret why did I leave the COVID-19 project LOL).
If you have a local board then show your contribution that improved the board. Bring other names to increase the credibility of what you are telling them.
Any miscellaneous you have? Write about it too.
The member worked to investigate an ex-forum treasurer.
Now make your final point.
The member is one of the five, and a part of a valuable club / gang.
Always save the best one to deliver at the end. Finish with a summary that showcase everything you did to become an impressive forum member.
Do not forget that you will need to do everything in your power that will sell yourself to the potential advertisers. Many will say you are bragging yourself too much. But don't take it in the ears. You need it or someone else will take it away from you.
Now that you have the script, you find the project owners/campaign managers and keep sending the copies until you successfully close a deal. Don't expect that one or two PMs will get you the job. In some cases, it may take months (6 months, 8 months even 1 year or more). You can try to send the smaller copy again after waiting for a long time.
Hello <insert the company name>,
I am sending you a business proposal which I believe it may be
a win-win for both of us.
I was wondering if you would be interested in having me wearing your signature. I am respecting your company and I, on my side, would be interested in wearing your signature.
What you would win: having a good forum contributor wearing your signature, bringing more awareness to forum users about your company. This, of course, should lead to more customers for you. Based on my forum reputation, the fact that I would wear a signature advertising your company would also bring you more more popularity and, why not, more credibility as well.
What I would win: a fair compensation for wearing your signature.
Why choose me: I am
the third most merited user by theymos; at same time, out of more than 3.5M registered users, while having more than 5000 merits earned, I am
the 30th most merited user ever. I am also a Default Trust user.
Among other things,
I am also the Romanian translator of Bitcoin white paper from bitcoin.org. If you scroll among
white paper translations on bitcoin.org, you'll see my name at the Romanian translation.
My best topics were translated 115 times in 11 languages.
I was part of ChipMixer campaign, which was well known for selecting only elitist participants.
I could tell you more about me, but I don't want to sound like bragging myself. However, if you are interested in more details, you can read these 2 topics of mine:
Gazeta's reputation thread: 5000 merits in four years and
Gazeta's signature for rent.
If you are interested in having this collaboration, please let me know.
Cheers,
Gazeta.
Since you already sent one a few months ago, you don't need to be more detailed in this one.
A follow up message can be like below if you receive a reply by any chance.
And I believed it would be more feasible to discuss with you. For example, if you look at the
spreadsheet of the campaign participants, you can observe that I have more merits than 75% of the participants taken all together (if you sum up all the merits of your Full Members / Sr. Members and Hero members they don't have together as many merits as I have alone), thus having me wearing your signature would certainly bring more value to the campaign and more interest of other forum user for your website.
Don't be ashamed of bragging yourself, you worked hard to reap the benefits. Without bragging you can not bring it all together.How to become a campaign managerAs a signature participant you will earn may be a $1,000 to $1,500 or even $2,000 a month. But as a campaign manager, you are a business man, and your opportunity is unlimited. This is where you become rich and leave a living that others can only dream for it.
To become a campaign manager you need to fulfill the requirement of a worthy bitcointalk member. We already learnt how to be one of them and which road we will pick to become a good forum member. Once you have a solid history in the forum now your job is to create an announcement thread and make contacts with project owners. You again need a strong sales pitch to show why your are the best than others.
Here is an example script (I think I do not need to break it in pieces again, you should be able to figure it out by yourself)
~snip~
There are many other tasks that I have implemented within the framework of the forum, but the work done is best reflected in the
feedback left to me. Feel free to ask, I will be happy to answer your questions.
Here is another version
~snip~
I am involved in building and strengthening the brands represented on Bitcointalk, which includes sig campaign management, thread designs, banners, etc. I currently manage sig campaigns for brands such as
Wasabi Wallet and
Cloudbet.
I also launched the
Bitcointalk Community Awards and
Quiz, an annual non-profit event
(another great example of thread design). And as you can see, this topic was also in the news feed of the forum for about two months, which happens rarely.
There are many other tasks that I have implemented within the framework of the forum, but the work done is best reflected in the
feedback left to me. I will be happy to answer your questions and explain the model of how I see the <insert brand name> sig campaign.

Your feedback page is very important by the way. If you are good enough to keep it clean then you won half the battle.Here is one of my script
Hello <insert brand name>!
This is
Royse777 and I am sure you are very familiar with me :-)
I was the campaign manager of Sinbad mixer and I am sure you have seen the huge success they had but eventually the legal things caught them. That’s the problem with huge success for mixers. But anyway,
I was mentioning Sinbad to help you realize that my strategies are proven. Not only Sinbad, I am working with some other mixers like Yo!Mix, Mixero, Tumbler.I previously worked with MixerDream, even bettercallitraul and many more. I also work with casino brands and many other projects like mixin safe.
Point is, I have a proven marketing strategy to bring a brand at the top hence you see my portfolio is extensively large. For your project you need the best of the best campaign management and with me you have it 100%.
With the recent update from the bitcointalk admin
Mixers to be banned , I am sure you are thinking of an alternative platform so that you can continue to keep your brand in front of the crypto community to build trust and continue making the revenue.
Your competitors have already decided where to introduce their advertising, I am already working with them closely.I am sure you must know that in the case of services like mixers, people really don't trust search engines or random recommendations. The main goal of the signature campaign is to build up the brand and to earn trust of a community by staying in-front all the time. Bitcointalk was the biggest without any doubt.
But since there will be no advertising on Bitcointalk,
people who use mixers regularly will look for mixers in different platforms to see who is consistent before considering to send their coins. If you can launch your signature campaign on another platform then your chances to get the new customers is higher (even your existing customers will feel that you are not gone anywhere). Obviously you don’t want to miss out on the potential crowd too.
I can help you here too like I am already helping my existing clients and moving the mixer campaigns to that platform from January 1st.If you are interested in reestablishing your advertisement then feel free to contact me on my Telegram @Royse777 using your official telegram ID or reply this PM but with the reply please sign the bitcoin address you have on your website with the following message so that I know it’s coming from the official management not from anyone else like maybe someone you hired to maintain the bitcointalk account (well, you know I also have my competitors like you and I don't want to give out my business strategy to my own competitors).
Signed message to discuss potential marketing (signature campaign) with Royse777, date <use the current date>
I hope this PM finds you and opens a door for both of us to collaborate with each others.
Have a great day, I am looking forward to share with you
the exclusive marketing plan.
Cheers,

Disclaimer: If you already have a running promotion managed by any other campaign manager then please ignore this message. Thanks you for understanding.Hello <insert project name>!
I just noticed
your topic on bitcointalk
This is
Royse777, one of the highly influential Legendary member since 2014 and a very successful campaign manager in Bitcointalk community
. The years of experience and the volume of projects (over 50 and counting) I worked with closely, speaks for the effectiveness in marketing.You can read the words from a very happy client.
All credit goes to Royse777, for most effective campaign management I could hope for
I was the
campaign manager of Sinbad mixer and I am sure you have seen the huge success they had but eventually the legal things caught them. That’s the problem with huge success for mixers. But anyway,
I was mentioning Sinbad to help you realize that my strategies are proven. Not only Sinbad, I am working with some other mixers like Yo!Mix, Mixero, Tumbler, Sherbet and many other successful brands.
I mainly work with gambling brands, exchanges, mixers, wallet software and many other niches. As you can see, I have a proven marketing strategy to bring a brand at the top hence you see my portfolio is extensively large. For your project you need the best of the best campaign management and with me you have it 100%.
As the project owner you must be aware that this is the biggest and the oldest crowd in the crypto community with over 3M monthly visits. There is a huge audience waiting for you to see your brand like your competitors are advertising in this community, many of them are leaders in their own industry by now. Please read a post from me to respond to a member who once asked about bitcointalk marketing. I am sure you can relate it with your brand too and will be able to realize the importance of bitcointalk marketing for your brand.
A signature campaign is crucial for building brand reputation; it keeps the brand in front of the targeted audience all the time. Expecting immediate results from a signature campaign is unrealistic. It requires a long-term plan. The goal is to create a lasting impression in the audience's mind.
Have you ever wondered why big and well-known brands like Coca Cola, McDonald's, Apple, Google, or Microsoft continue to spend billions on advertising? Despite their fame, why does it make sense for them to invest so much?
It's because of a basic human tendency: if something is out of sight, it's out of mind. In the business world, on top of this, you have competitors. If you reduce your visibility to your audience, your competitors will take your place. Brands that understand this truth and recognize the value of advertising, ultimately they lead their industries.
I hope the importance of a signature campaign is clearer to you now.
A review campaign serves a different purpose. It's mainly about getting feedback on the product and improving its functionality and user-friendliness.
Now since you at-least have a basic understanding of the need of advertising, I am sure you will be interested to discuss it.
Please feel free to contact me on my Telegram
@Royse777 using your official telegram ID or reply to this PM.
I hope this PM finds you and opens a door for both of us so that we can have a discussion and understand how we can collaborate with each other.
Have a great day, I am looking forward to share with you
the exclusive marketing plan.
Cheers,
I hope this topic was helpful and you will be able to use the knowledge to make yourself a valuable forum member, before even considering yourself to join in a signature campaign or become a campaign manager. I receive a lot of PMs all the time, "please allow me a spot in your campaign". I also see many members are creating announcement threads to become a campaign manager, they are asking questions, "how to become a campaign manager". If you here still reading, I hope now you have your answers.
Enjoy your life and think something different today.
