There ate a lot of ICO projects in Bitcoin talk. And all we want here is to make our project successful.
That is why we launch bounty campaigns, visit blockchain events, pay big money to media an so on.
However, it's not a secret that the best ads is a world of mouth. But it is too difficult to make people talking to their friends about your project.
If your ICO includes event organisation, there is the way how you can make people talking about you. KickCity is building a decentralized reward-based event marketing protocol on blockchain. Having worked with many event organizers, it became obvious that their biggest problem is selling tickets or getting registration. We are solving this problem by creating incentives. Rewarding anyone to promote events. This simply means that users can invite their friends and when their friends buy tickets, they earn Tokens (Cryptocurrency), while the user who bought ticket gets a kind of cash back — motivation to buy more tickets on KickCity platform. KCY tokens can be used to buy tickets on the platform and can also be converted to FIAT.
In your opinion, what can help to make a project successful?
It was much told on this subject.
There are main criteria of the successful project.
1) The closed system of a token
2) Working purpose of a token
3) Distinct WhitePaper
4) Good marketing
5) Competently made smart contract
6) Convenient bounty company
Personally I paid attention to the TokenGo project which helps to execute at least 3 of 6 points.
I agree with your points.
Also check out how does an "experienced investor" thinks (see how Ian Balina reviews ICOs and his criteria -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZht75jXuAw )
His most important criteria are
Working product/prototype YES/NO
Team (3-5 "All-Stars")
Roadmap with substantial progress in the near future (a few months)
Now, most projects don't satisfy all of these criteria, but then there are other ways of adding value and attracting different types of "investors" (e.g. community involvement, transparency, proofs of constant effort).
But in this crypto world, many of the projects "succeded" (for a period of time at least) only with hyperiders and people who don't do their research. Just getting your stuff out there is sometimes enough.
