Topic: 🧐 Bounty vs Buying likes, views, followers etc - page 2. (Read 992 times)

Yes, if they buy followers, I believe that with only $ 1,000 they can get more than 10,000 followers. But 99% of them are bot or fake account, it will not be able to make their project popular in this market. Bounty will be the best option to educate people about their projects

Buying likes, followers and retweet is worse, how will they conduct that? This won't have better impact on the project itself compare to using Bounty hunters, it seem you are one of those who belief that bounty campaigns have no effect on new projects, well it's all lies, bounty campaigns still attracts investors to this day, way better than your option

I think there is no comparison of Bounty VS Buying likes, Followers, retweet. As every one knows The project start any bounty program has no cost as the project owner pays the rewards from the token/coins and get real investors as all the hunters are real and promote on their real accounts with good followers. Buying followers, retweet or likes is almost done by bots and the project will need real money to purchase and why he will do it as it is totally loss of money and no investors will come as the bots will do it.

that is because there are indeed very few bounty participants who also participate in investments in the same project. when there is no strong community support, a bounty hunter will not be good either. even though they were successfully registered in the exchange, I'm sure soon they will be discarded.

What Jawhead said in this post is quite true: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54572591 . I am also a Bounty manager and would like to add some more reasons. Project managers don't have enough time to promote. Its very hard to keep on promoting in different platforms and in such short time. Second is "audience", a single man or individual can't cover a big audience as group of people do. Third is "buzz" the buzz created by bounty participants is much more real than the buzz created by project social handles.

If they use this approach for their project then I believe that 100% they will fail. They don't have any real followers and no people invest in the project. The main purpose of bounty is to impact many people and make them aware of the project and invest in it

You as a bounty hunter should know the answers already.
Buying views and all of that won't give the project the right audience/result they want. And also, this project owners sometimes don't have lot of funds to start this except they raise money from ICO/IEO and for them to be able to, they allocate some percentage from their supply(which doesn't have a worth because it's not listed or trading) to bounty promotion because it cost them nothing.
Bounty hunters will help them get what they want almost at the price of nothing because no value for the token yet.

You said that you have been in bounty since 2016, but your account was created in 2019. How could you be active before creating this account?  

Well, you're right.
First, buying likes, comments,s and whatever you said, maybe not effective, or sometimes really not effective. That is why the bounty is not the only way to promote the projects.
Bounty will help to spread the project, at least, it can be spread around the world (if it relates to social media bounty). If the members have big followers with high likes, views, and others, probably they are not all real people, but, I am sure that among them, there are real followers that will at least see the projects and be interested in it. So, it may not be the most effective way, but it can help to spread the project, to let more and more people know the projects.

If you really want to make great promotion, so I will prefer to choose to hire Youtube content that is popular and trusted with high views (not a bot but real person related to crypto). It will be more effective.

Bounty hunters will share your tweets or posts with real users interested in cryptocurrencies (targeted audience) unlike when buying likes/views. Those who sell likes usually use click farms and fake accounts which may harm your business.

But the main reason behind choosing bounty hunters over buying likes is that project owners don't have to spend any money since they will pay them with their shitcoin that they created out of thin air.

Project owners or managers want what is good for their projects and they know what they should go for. Had it been buying all those likes, views, comments and the likes will be helpful, they would not have needed the service of bounty hunters who are the real humans.
Projects need something real to achieve their aim. They need real people who are bounty hunters, that would promote their projects for them in the most effective way.

I think it boils down to result, bounties give the results vs buying likes, views, follower etc. If it is not effective then I'm sure there will be no projects that will use bounties here in the community. And so far we haven't seen bounties slowing down, and even in the bear market, project still utilise them. Youtube is also good no doubt about it, but it is more complicated though, specially targeting audience. And there should also be a follow-up video, so projects after paying the Youtube influencer? that's it, in order to do some follow-up, they have to pay them again. So retention is hard in Youtube as compare to bounty signature campaigns.

I think we can grow our numbers in the social networks with the right amount of money, but most of this kind of service will bring bots to our accounts, so, is no sense to have 1M followers and to not be able to sell your products. There is where you will realize abut bots.

In the past i used to grow twitter accounts, i have some accounts with more than 10k followers, but when i post from those accounts the interaction is really low.

So, what i have learned is that i prefer to have 50 real followers than to have 1,000,000 bots following me.

Lol that just like you were buying bot that can be banned anytime. So many bots accounts have been getting banned and that's the worst thing that I have ever seen these days.

You were saying like that just like you were a part of the youtube team before lol 

It's not so simple as you said.

I have seen the scam ico projects that have been buying the telegram members and it's just like a dead group and then it's dead. 

Buying likes and views or likes and comments won't get you far and will likely do more harm than any good to your product and project. This is like setting yourself out for destruction. Prospective investors will find this out and back out almost immediately without spending a dime on investments. You should always try to use your community to engage potential investors wisely instead of having bots faking it. Once investors see real community members engaging and discussing about the project and of course making the supposed brand wider and adoptable, .

Guys you are telling the things you are not experts in. Sorry.

If you own a YouTube channel, in order to go for monetization, you need not only the views, but watchtime. If you buy watchtime, you will get your YouTube account monetized. And i'm not saying it because I read it in Reddit from anonym. It is my practice.

If you want to go for YouTube SEO, buy high retention views. YouTube sees your audience watches your video at least for 75% and your video will be higher in YouTube search.

Instagram – same.
Whateever social network – same.

They analyze your content according one simple question – do people find your content interesting enough to stay at YouTube/Instagram for long time? If yes, they will help you to get higher. They have their own interest to see ads. If you help them to keep people at their portals, great. It's a win-win situation. You keep people at, e.g. YouTube, they give you traffic.

And now tell me, how BHs can help you? Please mind, I consider only social activity in Social Media.If they do content, fine, let them do it. I mean you, CEO/CMO, use Bounty programs smarter.

Buying likes,followers or views are against the respective social medias and their accounts will get suspended in no time so people who think they can easily get good stakes buy spending few dollars will left with nothing at the end of the campaign and more reputed managers check all those works individually so it is possible for them to identify which one is fake and real.

Well, buying will not give you anything, no one will know about your project.

 bounty propagation is sometimes successful if the right approach is used.

What result do you mean? Everyone know about bounty programs and understand there is no interest from BHs. What result do you mean, my friend? Read my last reply. BH's profiles are rubish. These are the same fakes that you buy from SMM Panels.

Buying unnatural likes, views and comments will not give the results new projects are looking for even they will be blacklisted by the algorithms of social media networks and search engines because they can track fake and unnatural likes, on the other hand bounty hunters spread the word out about the project and if the product and team is good they do result in attracting good investments for the project so i do not think that these services are even comparable.

After I read all replies, I should explain what mean. I'm not saying bounty hunters are useless, but... no, actually I think this theory can be trustful.  

No, wait, guys. You say that buying likes n views is fake and bla bla bla. But listen, have you ever seen a single Twitter or Facebook account of a "normal" bounty hunter? It's rubbish! Not a single personal post, only retweets of crypto startups. You won't find a single interesting post/tweet, you won't even find a post of Cointelegraph. I understand these people, but, dear CEO/CMO, if you read this, are you sure it worth?

You say that BHs create content and you are right. IMHO, 99% of such content is of low quality. I see the only reason to do it if you use YouTube SEO and promote it by tags. In this case guys looking for 'how to buy bitcoin using cash" would find a crappy (sorry) video, but they will find a solution and use the webpage below the video. I hope not a single CEO/CMO does not rely on audience of BHs YouTube channel. And you know why? Because these guys bought fake subs. So if there's no difference, why not buying subs, views and likes directly and save money?  

But yeah, they do content, you don't pay them now (!) and you save you ICO budget. I understand it. But as usually I have few buts.

But 1: You say, you save money if you use bounty, but why don't you calculate the salary of Bounty Manager? When it's time to distribute the tokens, you will have costs for that. And the main thing is about your token. If it's not s SCAM and you plan to get your token listed on reputable echanges, you should think about your token liquidity i.e. market making. You should be ready to "catch" your token price, cause these guys gonna dump it hard. They did not pay for it and their landlords asking for rent.  

But 2: As mentioned in the first post, we all know websites where you can buy likes etc. I bet you've seen different prices. Today I've seen Telegram "real" members for 25$ per 100 members. Woooooow!!!   You are right, you can buy bots, but you can buy real people as well. There are services where people do minor tasks and get minor money. These services provide it to the webpages that sell you these services. I mean these are real people. Yes, the probability that they will be interested in your content is not much, but still. And there are lots of "fake services" that you can use and benefit from it. E.g. YouTube views. Did you know the most important factor is retention. The higher retention is, the better. Not gonna sell you this idea but it is closely related with YouTube SEO.

So what can you tell me now?
