Topic: How do I become a Campaign Manager? (Read 407 times)

Sometimes if a small company wants to run a campaign, they would make a new account on this forum and then run the campaign instead of hiring an manager who may be expensive for them. This is acceptable in some cases provided the campaign is honest and do not want to scam the bounties hunter / Signature participants and at the same time want to save some campaign management cost.

However, the drawback is that these newbies can easily scam the participants as they have nothing to lose expect the newbie account being marked as scammer and also their project being getting a bad name, which they rarely care as they make projects to earn quick money and then move on the the next one.

If you are really considering to become a Campaign Manager, you should try to encourage a good posting quality by rejecting low-quality spammers.
Better reduce your number of campaign spots and give out more BTC per spot to get better quality posters into your campaign.
Only selecting the best Bitcointalk Members and rejecting low quality signature hunters will help to reduce spam.
And it's recommend to add a monthly Merit requirement to discourage your participants from getting lazy. Because once accepted in a campaign, the worst spammers tend to drop the ball and just do the bare minimum to stay into the campaign... 

Money got different value in different parts of the world. People from first world countries wouldn't consider $100/week anything but on a contrary, a person from a third world country can live a pretty good life with that money. I'm sure that's one of the reasons why some people agree to work with less money compared to others, though rank and other factors affect this too.

It is all about managerial skill. If you got good skills in marketing then you can convince a dev to get a campaign for a project to manage still, you must need another set of skills to manage a campaign effectively. So, only by experience you can learn these skills not not just by learning from books or videos.

If you want to become a bounty manager, you must have a lot of experience, you must be able to deal with Google spreadsheets, be able to create forms to record the data of the participants' work in the spreadsheets weekly, calculate the stakes they get honestly, and ban cheaters, be fast in response and to solve the problems of the bounty hunters, to have experience in communicating with potential clients of crypto projects, to have good English language, to have knowledge of dealing with BBCode codes to coordinate the topic of the bounty and to make signature codes, and the most important thing is to develop your reputation and trust in the forum, as there are many bounty managers, but those who are hired are those who have a reputation and green trust.

Trust core isnt something that you could get easily considering that you would need up for some DT to trust you in and make out some transaction or doing something that it is really helpful to the forum.
You could follow up these links and read up so you would be having some idea.

Becoming a campaign manager isnt something that anyone could easily pull off because getting your first project is the most
challenging part just like the rest that been saying.

Please share how can I grow my trust score.

• Good knowledge about spreadsheet
• You should have good knowledge of social media for the social campaigns you want to launch
• A nice service thread to attract project owners
• Good English knowledge for dealing and good presentation of your service.
• And having the ability to better monitor the work of the campaigners during the campaign

If Bounty manager then this would be  = To bounties/ICO projects/Platform launches and similar stuff.
If you are really tending to touch up Bitcoin payment then it would be just the same but on my own opinion then it would be pertaining only on Campaign manager.
Doesnt matter on what would be the payment or agreed terms which in overall it would really be just the same.

Speaking about qualities? This is where you could see on the current BM's out there. The toughest challenge you should need to break is on how
to get your first project and you would find out those answers on your own.

There are two type of compaign which manage by managers.
1: Signature Compaign (BTC) 2: Signature+ social Task(Altcoin)
Generally first one needed experience manager because these projects are high paying projects and need quality post maker while second one can be manage by new non experience also.
The main problem is that you have to search these projects and convince the marketing manager to run a compaign for them. If you are hard worker and can do this then you will find a project soon. For designing thread you can hire any Users in services .

With some recent developments in this forum you will understand that reputation isn't an express guarantee for getting management Jon in this forum.
Your ability to work hard and reach out to clients who wants to promote their projects is a key.
If you can explain to them the importance of promoting their projects here, you will be able to land jobs.

Just build on your reputation but reputation do not bring business but hardwork. If it is by reputation, I don't think there is a 10% possibility that you can acquire upto 50% of Hhampuz till this forum is close down.

I think before you could hired as a bounty campaign manager or signature campaign manager, there are some quality you should possess. You have to be transparent and have good quality to offer, and then must differentiate yourself from others making them see the reason you should get contacted instead of hiring other managers.

But if must say, nowadays becoming a bounty manager is getting too competitive and there are other well known reputable managers which people may want to hire rather than just getting a new person that has not built any trust. Besides not just becoming a bounty manager but as well standing firm for your community to make sure at last everyone gets their payments after bounty ends.

Yes, I agree some projects will allow bounty managers to hold the tokens or escrow them, I read in the past where a bounty manager run away with the token that he was holding for the bounty campaign because the manager was lower rank, I don't want to downgrade lower ranked members but they have to work their way to reach a level of trust and prove their honesty in being a campaign manager, the only way a newbie become a campaign manager, is if he is part of the team.

The reason, in my opinion, is the spread of a lot of spammers and bounty hunters on the forum by creating more than one account. They create more than one account so that they can get more rewards and at the same time, if they are discovered, that is not a problem because they simply create a new account and abandon the old one.

Therefore, as the member's rank increases, trust and reputation will automatically increase, because this indicates that the member is doing well and wants to maintain his reputation.

High-ranking members care about their reputation a lot because they worked hard to build this account on the forum, while Newbie members don't care if their reputation is tarnished.

if you want to compete with other top campaign managers then you have to prove that what you offer is more than what they offer for example;

+ marketing effectiveness that you offer. whether the target audience is touched
+ the budget that must be issued by the developer who hires you
+ percentage of success of the campaign if you handle
+ your reputation in the community

besides that, no one will give you a project at the start, you have to look for it yourself or you can create a topic in the "service thread" about your services.


it seems OP is trying to find another job because he realized that what he was doing was not right

The greatest quality of a campaign manager in this bitcointalk forum is honesty. You must be able to be trusted and be honest in your negotiation between a company and the members of this forum.

Secondly to ease your work to some certain extent you need to at least be a reputable member by growing your rank and your presence in this forum. You also need to know some skills like how to work with spreadsheet and how to make mass payments.

You go out and source for projects by yourself and bring them to the forum. You need to be smart and work for it, they won't just come to you at your comfort zone.

It's like applying a work mate, where in you must have proof how reliable you are when it comes promoting a project or should i say when it comes managing or handling such stuff.
Newbie is very skeptical so don't assume you can get some trust especially here in forum, Actually it's not about rank but nowadays high rank looks trustworthy i don't know why.  .

I hope you know how to handle spreadsheets, how to count post and all such stuff which bounty managers do. You can see few spreadsheets from different bounty managers on their threads and get a know how of them.



For sure, you will have to find the projects yourself. First try to develop a portfolio of bounty and project management and try to get projects by directly contacting different crypto projects and asking them to advertise their services on bitcointalk. Initially you may find it difficult to get customers but once you are established and trusted, you will be able to grow your services.

Anyways as with other jobs and services, you need to work hard, and it is no way an easy work.

This job is not as easy as it sounds but when it comes to required qualities, one needs to know how to keep time and make time for the job, you need to know how to use spreadsheets and generally know how to manage people the forum way, and most importantly score a successful campaign without spam.

Back then for one to be come a third party campaign manager they needed to be at minimum a Sr Member, but times have changed seen people start from the lower ranks to manage a campaign.
But the people that make good CM are those known to the community and have done good over the the years.

You have to advertise for the job on the forum or other platforms and Your reputation can land you a good deal too . BTW you could have other forum members also recommend you for it if your history with the forum is in good standing... Sometimes it's all about luck.

This is correct, OP, looking out for projects to promote here is not limited only in the forum. In addition, The strong skills you need for this job are research and analysis skills. Ability to determine a legitimate project that'll provide quality to members of this forum. Analyzing the quality of posts made by participants so as to obey the forum rule tailored to signature campaigns, which frowns at low quality posts and spamming the forum. Rank doesn't matter, quality skills does. If you perform great on your first job, you'll have a better chance of getting another.

I checked your post and he is telling the truth, before you aspire to become a good campaign manager be a good example first and avoid spamming and posting copy-paste threads these are something that you don't want your participants to do if they are in your campaign so correct your posting activity first, even if you have all the other skills to become a campaign manager if you have these spamming habit, project owners will not trust you to handle their campaign well.

maybe you can offer yourself as an assistant to other managers and start learning about that job. although you should probably have excellent communication skills in order to attract new projects to choose you.


What is the difference?


are you sure about what you are saying?
if the quality is not important, why do we have only a few really good managers after so many years? have you observed any of the campaigns in more detail, if so, you must have noticed that certain problems often appear, and through problem management, you can only see the quality of managers.

I am not a campaign manager, but I can you tell you that it is hard to be a campaign manager. First of all, you need a good reputation in this forum. For that you need to spend a lot of time here and gain the trust of the forum members. Just look at the managers who manage big campaigns, all of them have good reputations on this forum and they have established their names already. So for that, you need to be in this forum and produce value and gain trust among the members of this forum.

It would be best if you are skilled, at least skilled enough to manage google sheets, and skilled to communicate with company representatives who are here to hire managers.

Managing a campaign does not require special skills or learning academic materials. It just requires knowing the forum rules and have enough time to organize everything.
First, money management. I guess that the project team gives the bounty budget to the campaign manager who will decide how to spend it according to the rank of the participants.
Second, how to choose the campaign participants is something that should be taken care of. Campaign manager should select good members depending on their reputations and activities in different forum boards.
Thirdly, the difficult part, is to check tasks done by each participant, and check if the conditions and campaign rules set by the manager have not been violated.

And all this is improved by experience, reputation, and punctuality.

Be a good participant first to become a good bounty manager, as much as possible get in under 3 to 5 trusted managers observe their work and how they communicate, and what criteria they asked on participants in the bounty campaign that they are managing, good communication is very important, and you know how to present yourself to project owners.
There are newbies who can manage the campaign it goes out on the skill you have even outside of this forum that attracts owners of projects.

No quality? I don't know what you are talking about. If that's what was true, why Hhampuz is managing the most bitcoin paid signature campaigns while others are getting a hard time getting a single one? Hhampuz is currently managing ~10 signature campaigns, while Royse, if I'm correct, is managing 3 campaigns now. What about others? It's a lot of things you must know before being a quality campaign manager which will eventually get you more campaigns. It's not that easy bro. You can see a lot of campaign managers out there. How many of them get a quality project on hand to manage? Very few of them. Others are managing poor/scam bounty campaigns.
I wouldn't discourage OP but remember that you need a lot of reputation to be a successful campaign manager here. Alternatively, build connections with more people here.

True indeed but guess what, some of them even don't know how to maintain the spreadsheet properly. Also, it becomes easy to get a project when they charge a very small amount. I have seen a campaign manager getting paid $50/week. Some scam/shit project look for cheap services and that's how newbie gets the project because they charge according to their skill and rank. I'm sure no high-rank member would ever consider managing a bounty campaign for $100-$150/week even.

I guess you will have to start with knowing the responsibilities of a campaign manager. What are the specific tasks of a campaign manager? You will have to identity and familiarize each one of them. If you're done with it, you will then consider your own capabilities. What do you think, are you sufficiently equipped with what's needed to perform those tasks and responsibilities well? Do you have enough experience doing those? Compare those obligations with what you are capable of doing.

1. Due diligence. Have the capabilities to asses a project if it is shady or not., Although this is hard to do, you can always refer to a long list of users in this forum who constantly report and warn users about scam projects/companies.
2. Have a boatload of patience. You will be needing tons of patience as many bounty hunters will test you, ask you and even just annoy you. Prepare to be bombarded with redundant questions from dusk until dawn. And, it's not just bounty hunters, project teams will also do the same, especially those teams who are first-timers in doing bounty campaigns for their projects.
3. Keen to details. You need to be wary of all the little things on your bounty campaign, especially with all the data on the campaign spreadsheet. Remember that people's rewards are dependent on those data.
It's good that you have an interest in being a campaign manager but that alone would not help you get what you want. You need tons of contacts, to be able to communicate properly and encourage project teams to hire you.

Nowadays, forum rank isn't so important anymore. I mean just look at the bounty section; plenty of newbies running bounty campaigns. It all boils down to how well you'll be able to manage and help promote the project so you can start building your own portfolio. Although some knowledge about excel or google spreadsheets, forms, photoshop, and how social media platforms work will help a lot.
There's no clear answer to this. You're a freelancer. You can either post a listing on Fiverr or Linkedin or just plainly communicate to the project team and beg them to hire you.
Once you've got tons of experience and previous projects under your belt, you will start receiving messages from project teams wanting to do bounty campaigns.
A project isn't given to you. You're only given a chance to help promote it by managing a bounty campaign.

Don't want to discourage you but forget any kind of self-employment if you are not ready to do the work of reading and researching... Before coming up with a question.

Nothing wrong with asking people to help fill in gaps and clarify aspects.

Freelancing and self employment is hard work, and you usually pay someone else if you want tasks done for you, answers found for you.

It is not for you.

Don't take it personally. Same is for Bitcoin knowledge.

Or take it personally and prove yourself. Either way you win.

That's a little harsh but you are right, for you to aspire to become a good campaign manager you must be an example and you must set your own standard and that standard should be good because this is the same standard that you are going to set to campaign participants that you are managing, of course, skill is important like creating a spreadsheet, good communication skill is very important there are a lot more, but you must start on establishing your reputation here in Bitcointalk.

Judging from your post history, I see you're not qualify to become a good campaign manager since you're spamming by creating copy paste thread without add any opinion or perspective, more importantly the discussions are actually pointless since it's about shitcoins [1]

What skills can you offer to project admin for them to hire you, once the project is launched here in Bitcointalk the admin will receive a lot of offers coming from campaign managers and they will request them to look at their service announcements, you should have your own service announcement and post all your skills, what you can do, what you have done, projects you manage
and results you have delivered.

And is up to the admin of the project who he will pick but its always based on who has the experience to make the campaign successful and produce the best possible results, you are not late if you have not yet managed a campaign as long as you have a good resume that you can show even outside of this forum.

For me, rank has nothing to do with your qualification.

There are no clear criteria, you can analyze the list of current campaign managers to understand how things are going, but the most important thing is to convince the campaign admins to hire you by proving that you can bring him the maximum number of visitors with the lowest possible budget, and therefore the job is suitable for those who have marketing and analytical skills more than Being associated with a certain rank or skills.

Also, having skills such as data analysis, creating signatures, a huge database, fighting spam, and previous experiences will enhance your chance of obtaining employment.

I feel like sharing this thread because it relates to the questions about becoming a campaign or bounty manager.

But, yeah, of course, what you need right now is to grow your account to build a name in the industry and be able to sell yourself as a campaign manager. Having a member rank only gets you so far..

Try to evaluate yourself with the question, why should they hire you? cause you have to be able to sell yourself. The edge you could give yourself without having no experience is becoming a reputable account by contributing in the forum + you'd have higher chances of attracting serious projects.

Some must-know-how-to's I could think of right now is being able to spot signs of blatant scams because if you keep accepting them, there's a high chance you'll be tagged. Obviously, you must know your way with spreadsheets.

Bounty campaign manager or signature campaign manager paid by Bitcoin?

To be honest there's no quality need to become a campaign manager, the most important thing is you need to being honest and complete your job, that's all. Campaign manager need to know the difference between high quality post and low quality post, also they need to try his best to promote the project. If you're a newbie, people will doubt if you're know what's high quality post and promote the project because you didn't proving yourself to get higher rank and has an experience.
