Topic: Getting paid for signature space? - page 9. (Read 12505 times)

I wouldn't suggest newbies to buy a "higher rank" account at all.
The account seller could get the accounts back at any time in the future (FYI: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/recovering-hacked-accounts-or-accounts-with-lost-passwords-497545), and also the account could get negative trust and become worthless if the account sale is made public.

My personal opinion here is signature campaign do help admins for their ultimate purpose of increasing traffic.

It is not the way to beg few pennys but to encourage new bee also to take interest in such activities .

Any business works well if they have supporters. signature campaign results in creating lots of supporters for that particular business.

It is basically low cost medium of advertising business and there is nothing wrong there
 

Yeah, faucets won't get you too far. As far as signature ads, there are accounts being bought/sold in the digital goods subforum. It's sort of frowned upon, but I get the feeling that more than a few newbies have gone that route.

It seems like I`m so far away.. from getting any btc going on lol.

Faucets suck too.

I think that's because mining and casinos are two of the biggest or more profitable businesses right now. This will chnage as bitcoin grows so i'd expect to see a host of different companies advertising here.

This is true, there are limits (Usually 100 posts/payout) and there are constructive post requirements. I know because I've been assisting in managing a campaign for the past two weeks, going into my third week. However, there are some trusted campaigns that do exist, regardless if they're just starting out or not. You have to look, but a week of lost time probably won't be too damaging on someone if there isn't a payout. Unless you really need the BTC, in which case there's not a lot you can do about it. Look for a trusted campaign, and hope you can still speak yourself in.
Yeah, I've seen lots of said posters who spammed to grind out some ad money. It's kind of a letdown to see, but there are some people that are in just for the profit. As for UpDown, I haven't been following that, so I can't say anything with confidence.
It would be wonderful to have more people providing advertising instead of just mining companies and gambling companies. Even if there where some exchanges that opened up ad campaigns for people, I would definitely spice up the market place. And even individual merchants advertising their stores or services wouldn't be bad either. The problem is, there are so many campaigns with extremely large payouts, is that it becomes difficult for advertisers without a large amount of capital to compete with the other campaigns.

As above it's good for the bitcoin economy. Maybe one day there will be more advertisers than just  bitcoin casinos and miners.

Yeah, there's been some no-pay situations to be sure, and Updown.bt is still kind of up in the air. Hopefully he clears everything up. Re: spamming, I've seen quite a few accounts banned, who were clearly grinding out that signature ad money...

True, especially for sig campaign with a long list of participants like PD, and AFAIK there were a handful of persons able to make 1000 posts a month.
Now, with a much lower post cap, the problem should be less severe hopefully.

Well, it isn't a bad practice, many signature campaigns have limits which prevents spammers. They would also require constructive posts to qualify for a payout. There isn't much to earn from them and there is not much trusted campaigns around. I doubt there will be as much responses to discuss about things if there are no signature campaigns. People would most likely be motivated to post and contribute more to the community.

However, sig campaign organizers usually can't review every post every participant has written, thus many spammers still thrive... until we get them .

Yeah that's true, but most of them don't pay the pointless posts though.

Signature ad does have bring some advantages and some disadvantages to the forum community.
IMO. the main advantage is that it allows bitcoin business (casinos, exchanges, mixers, miners, etc) to get advertised more easily; while the biggest disadvantage is that it encourages spam and pointless posts.

Why not get the best of both worlds, and profit by advertising a business that's good for the community?
Gambling websites are an important contribution to the relevance of cryptocurrencies, since dealing with fiat on them can be quite inconveniant.

Its bad practice i think, i got only sites that i like, noone paying me for this. Community should be community, not pursuers (posters) for profit

you are newbie member here now you can join one of the signature promotion which are paying to Jr and newbie member . you can earn some money with your signature promotion but be aware don't try to make spam here ! please read carefully forum rules and follow these so you will enjoy lots this forum

That's true.
Those spam posts are usually excluded in calculating your sig payment, and you may get kicked out of the sig campaign if your post quality is really bad. At worst, your account can get temp-banned or perm-banned for spamming.

Well there is still campaign where you can get paid if you are even a newbie, but if you want to make little more cash the PD campaign is still open for members. If you want you can join us and get paid simply by posting. I think you can rely on Stunna ( Primedice ceo). You are getting paid every 17 th if you have a minimum of 50 posts made the previous month. The deal is to put link to his site in your signature and that is it

Or even easier, you can check the thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/overview-of-bitcointalk-signature-ad-campaigns-last-update-01-jan-23-615953 from time to time.
The thread is updated very frequently as I can see.

Just be warned with new signature campaigns. They can have you advertise for a month and then disappear without paying.  The income for sig campaigns should be incidental - you should not post spam posts and "me too" or "+1" replies to pad your post count.
