If You Became a Campaign Manager, How Would You Make a Difference?

[TheUltraElite]

Good question, frankly though I would never become one because I am much busy with my life on the real world than the forum. But if you ask my opinion, there is no perfect manager but features that I would try to inculcate would be:

1. Encourage users to contribute to different sections of the forum and enrich their own knowledge periodically.
2. As a campaign manager merit received is in decent quantities, so managers should distribute that too to the participants instead of holding to it.
3. Regular warnings to those who are breaking the manager's set of rules.
4. Monthly statistics of performance among members.

It's interesting question. I noticed many answer focused on improving post quality on this forum, but IMO a campaign manager should also impress the advertised company. So if i were a campaign manager, i would start by avoid hiring member with negative or very controversial reputation to avoid people perceive the advertised company negatively.

You can interview campaign managers so that you get knowledge of their experience. It's obviously a skill and they learned it thought work, study and personal development.

I expect that could consume some time, even if you PM them some interview question and waiting for their answer.

Protect your participants at all costs, that has always been my motto and I'm refering to bounty campaigns. Most projects don't care about their promoters and will scam them with any little opportunities that they get.

I was doing just find until I became a victim with project scamming and I had to take a break from bounty management. People are willing to work when they know they'll be paid so always try to escrow all your projects.

Things to do, the rules should be there but don't be too strict with them, make adjustments when necessary and just try to be unique in your own ways. All the reputed managers are trying in their different ways. Don't just assume you can be better when you haven't gotten the opportunity, it isn't that easy.

All campaign managers are doing great; they are doing escrow to make sure that altcoins or Bitcoin will be received by participants, they have disclaimers and properly informed all participants.

If I become a campaign manager, maybe I will try to strike a deal for a longer campaign. like all the other campaigns we are having right now, if we have long campaigns, the activity will maintain or even increase, So far, Hhampuz my current manager is one of the managers with the longest campaigns in his management.
If I can have at least 40 campaigns that pledge to run for 100 weeks, it will be a huge achievement for me, but you must be very good at convincing to achieve this.

Such questions are asked even to children in school of they became President or Governor in their Country or State what will they do? And those children will tell you what they will do. So I see such questions as relevant. Now to myself who will like to be a manager one day if I am interested. If I become a campaign manager. I will be transparent, open minded to participants and to the forum at large. I will be unbiased. I will  carefully select my participants and there will no reshuffling unless it is critical. I will select them because I know that they can work so there will be no need to reshuffling them again. Human beings have different ways of thinking therefore everyone has different managerial skills.

That's not possible.

Let's say the project's representative reach you and want to run signature campaign, but they only have limited budget or want to see the progress for 1-4 week(s). Even you have convince them need to have 100 weeks budget or something like that, they can just reach other campaign managers.

So, you will be left without manages any single campaign since you set your requirement too high.

I don't think I will like being a campaign manager, there's so much work load and you have to be very good in communication and know how to properly motivate yourself and your team and you must be good at multitasking. I am ok with helping campaign managers, and I think we all need to if we want to keep projects coming in here to promote.

I am hats off to campaign managers who keep looking for projects and convincing project developers, just to give us work or incentives for being active here.

But if I am given a chance to manage a campaign, I will weigh on quality posters rather than merits. I have seen some great posters but lack merits to qualify for campaigns.

[Wapfika]

I think I will stop accepting user that is not a natural poster on the board which the project I’m managing targets. Like for example when I managing a campaign related to gambling, I will stop hiring user that doesn’t naturally post in there before the acceptance on the campaign to avoid forcing user to create post on the board that they don’t hangout and at the same time to avoid half baked post.

Some user excel on different board while signature campaign force them to decrease the quality of their post just for the sake of being paid.

I think this is the best way to make the campaign efficient for the project owner.

[Bitcoin Smith]

I will not accept users who only got merit from local boards

Imagine a person lives in Spain, speaks only Spanish and Catalan, but is a great content creator and local board contributes (suppose guy is good at coding). Why he should be not welcomed in your campaign?

I will exclude the merit from local friends

How will your find out who friends with who?

Valid points, but if the manager doesn't understand what kind of post got merit then he better concentrate on what he really understand.

I would say, merit should not be the only assesment when it comes to quality, just going blindly with more merits in the last 120 days they are exceptional posters than who got less it just means their most gone under the radar for many reasons or there's no potential merit givers even though they understand the post is excellent contribution to the topic.


I had lot of idea but managing campaign is not a joke either, they are responsible for funds, payments to participants and also need to bring effective results for the company so I would say keeping everything in my balance will be my motto if I ever become a campaign manager.

Campaign Manager is not easy task because the project who started has own mission to establish their goal. So, first I will make a home work from the project and their goal. Then, I will try find the gap which is expected from contributors. I will take ideas about how much contributors can benefits. Again. home work with real world and this is how I will improve my plan for the contributor to get best support from me compare to others.

Signature campaigns only last for as long as the business sees its results, you cannot simply strike a deal for a long campaign when the corporation is yet to run the campaign for a few weeks to see if they are getting the promotion and exposure they need. I know that sometimes these business unplug and leave too early, because sometimes it is hard to see results in a short time, but you can't really blame them, if they will be spending money on the advert, they will want results quickly.

• I'll pay per post (which means I'll not deny anyone payment because they posted 18 instead of 20.
• I'll hire only people that use the forum like a forum and not people that will login just to complete their post quota
• I'll not use merits as a criteria for hiring, rather the bitcoin or gambling knowledge of the user depending on the nature of the campaign.
• I'll ensure the project owners are reachable to the forum members.

It is interesting that many users take the job of a campaign manager lightly and as simple. The simplicity of this job is probably the reason why we currently have only 3-4 users (of several million registered accounts) who have active campaigns in management.

The ratio is about 1:500,000 or slightly larger.

The truth is, you're going to be going through hundreds of posts every week to grade them. And unless you've got some kind of bot to do it for you (hello BitBot), then that eats up several hours per week, possibly even an entire day. And it quickly gets tiring, so unless you are compensated generously by the campaign owner then you quickly burn out.

I have been part of signature campaigns managed by two different campaign managers. My first campaign manager was Hhampuz and now it is icopress. Both are unique in evaluating application and both have a unique style of managing a signature campaign.

If given an opportunity to manage a signature campaign what I will do is to club both their good rules and regulations in order to create a new set of rules to manage the campaign considering what benefits the client and what benefits the signature participants.

It's not that I will ask immediately for a 10-week campaign; if their budget says they have 4 weeks then we can do a 4 week campaign and from there, take an observation and try to convince the casino owners to do a second round then third round, and if the casino established their reputation and there is a flow of new gamblers coming, then that will be the time to do a continous campaign to keep branding the casino continously.

I think it has to do with good management and hiring the best posters in the gambling section to promote the casino to get more leads that will make the casino extend their campaign undefinitely, and you have to be good at convincing the gambling operators to reach that agreement.

Man, that's just what other managers do.

I don't think they didn't try convince the representative in order to extend the length, some managers even use "PAUSED" or "HOLD" instead of "FIN" or "END" because they hope the project will continue or the representative was saying they will continue the campaign someday in the future.

Using "PAUSED" or "HOLD" in a campaign gives off a more positive vibe, even if the campaign is temporarily stopped. It leaves a good impression on the casino, as it suggests the campaign could resume. There are also cases where projects come back after being paused for a while, like chips.gg, which recently relaunched after a break.

for those thinking about becoming a campaign manager:

If you ever got the chance to manage a campaign, what would you do to keep the forum a good place? A lot of us start as posters, join campaigns and stuff, but some might end up becoming managers at some point, right?

If you've already proven yourself through quality posts, trading, or whatever, how would you handle the responsibility of managing a campaign? Feel free to throw out ideas on how to make the forum better... kind of like an interview, but chill and open-minded.

I think, this is an entertaining and interesting topic at the same time.
If I were a campaign manager and it was a part-time job while I work my regular job, I probably wouldn't be a very good manager but if it was a full-time job for me, then I would really make a difference on this forum.
I want talk about marketing strategies and the way I would choose participants because that will take me a very long time and as I see, the accent in this thread is about how a manager would make this forum a better place, so, let's start.

I would strongly monitor post quality. Short, funny posts, etc are all okay here and there but I'm strictly against spamming. If my participant creates threads like Gold vs Bitcoin in 21th century, then I'll immediately remove them from signature campaign. I'll hire participants who truly enjoy posting on this forum and who really contribute. The user has to bring value, enlighten someone, improve their own and someone else's knowledge. Such an user attracts everyones' attention and is a good pick for promoting any project.

Its not easy to become a campaign manager, so my concept to make a difference on the way I managed the campaign is picking the best campaign where the posting style of members is very suitable for the project's client, if its a casino then a gambler is my priority, if its an exchange then a trader and make them post on categories where they are likely to get leads

And I think I will implement the grading system just like what we have here on Stake.com and will encourage participants to read the notes on the spreadsheet so they can upgrade their behavior on the forum.

I will also make a Telegram group for participants so I can ask participants on how to improve the campaign, I would like to make it a team effort for all participants.

I don't really like questions asking ''what if''. I'm not planning to become campaign manager one day, that's not job which would fit for me. But if, probably I wouldn't do something much different from what current managers are doing. Simply, there is no need to invent wheel when it's already invented. So, I simply would take best what I can learn from current managers. If you would do something fundamentally different from others, there is no guarantee that someone will hire you.

Imagine a person lives in Spain, speaks only Spanish and Catalan, but is a great content creator and local board contributes (suppose guy is good at coding). Why he should be not welcomed in your campaign?

You have good point, but looking from advertisers perspective, they're focusing on English speaking boards to get most visibility. Hiring someone who only posting in local boards will be less cost-effective.
