There are many ways to make a living from Bitcointalk forum. Over 3.5 Million to 4.0 Million visit per month, a huge audience. Crypto projects are looking for these hot leads and it opens a wide door for you because fortunately you are a part of the crowd. There are many like me who are making a good living from ecosystem. Unfortunately many members do not realize the big picture, and they miss out the opportunity. Obviously there are many others who do not care about the money at all because for them this space is to have fun and help bitcoin to grow. Many of these are early bitcoin holders and now they are enjoying their fortune. But the rest of us need a business or a job for living.
Here are some already established ideas for you to earn a living from the community:
- Signature campaign
- Campaign management
- Launch your own crypto project
- Lending service
- Escrow service
You can invent your own ideas. Sky is limitless.
Lending service and Escrow service are not going to make you rich. In fact with a Lending service you are at risk to lose your hard earned money. I experienced it once and I know a few members who also lost money in this business. I do not recommend a Lending service to anyone but if you are a well established member then you can have your own escrow service. Slow business but it will bring you some pocket money once in a while.
But this thread is not about pocket money, this thread is to help you realizing that you have the real opportunities and you are missing it. You will live a high living, yearly $100k or more is not impossible. I know it because I earn it.
Reading here will help you to realize and have a strong believe if you are in doubt. I have no reason to hide anything, that can help someone else. You can not take any of the money that I earn, you can not take away the experience and the knowledge from me. I deserved what I earn. Hard work and having a goal pays very well. If you can apply some of what I do, in your own way (be creative not a copy-paste person) then I believe you will be able to make a change in your living.
The best of all is to have your own crypto project. Ethereum founder and many more built their big business from this community. However, for that you will need to be highly skilled, a great visionary, like Satoshi (Vitalik Buterin extended the idea in his own way). Even if you are not a visionary but have a huge amount of wealth then you can launch a casino, a mixer, be a owner of an exchange, and many other business, it can be a physical product too. Launch the business, assemble a team, hire a good campaign manager, advertise on the forum, advertise in other place to bring traffic to your website, your business will grow. We saw mixers: Chipmixer, Sinbad; gambling platforms: Stake, Sportsbet.io; exchanges: Kucoin, Best_Change. There are countless examples we already have.
But for an ordinary person like many of us who are not great visionary, and don't have huge amount of wealth - for us campaign management or even joining in a signature campaign can earn a good living IF we are doing things correctly.
This topic is for ordinary persons like us. So let's focus on how an ordinary person can earn a very good living from this platform.
1. Joining Signature Campaigns
2. Become a campaign manager.
How to sell your signature spaceLet's start with the common thinking of the forum members when it is about joining in a signature campaign. You think if you can become a legendary member then you can earn high income (may be $100, $150 or even $250 per week). You see many Legendary members are doing it and you think if they get paid such high payment ($1,000 monthly) then once you will become a Legendary you will have the same income. You are wrong. There are many Legendary members who struggle to have a spot in signature campaigns. They goes from one manager to another, beg for a spot. Manager response them: We/I will see what we can do. But you never receive a message from the managers inviting you in their campaigns. However, there are some other type of Legendary members even Hero/Sr. Members - they are always wanted in managers' campaigns. Managers always keep them in their contact list. Build good relationships with them so that they can easily have the member in their signature campaigns. They do whatever it takes to make them happy. They race with each other with their offers: A offers $200/w, then B offers $250/w with additional benefits that ordinary forum members can never dream about.
Which types of member you are?
You run after the managers or managers are looking you?
(To be clear, I do not see anything wrong when manager approaches the members and members are approaching to managers. But when you are approaching to managers or a the brand owners, be sure that you have built a strong position in the community and you are valuable to the community, your posts are worthy to read, your ideas, solutions are affective for others. You can fake it if you are not the person in real but you can always be a good character. After all it's a forum where nobody knows you, your writing represents you).
So, how to become a highly valuable Bitcointalk member?
You want to be a wanted bitcointalk member for the managers, you want to receive exclusive offers constantly to enjoy your position. You can even approach by your own to brand owners. But first you need to work hard. You need to show that you are a community person. Build a good strong reputation. Do things that will separate you from others.
I will share two ideas to become a valuable members:
1. Your goal is to earn merit and be in the DT system: Towards this road you need to start creating contents like scam accusations, scam busting, alt finding, spam reporting and many more aggressive volunteer contribution. Don't forget to show off everything that you do, if needed, make a list of the things you did, keep everything in one place. Once you have a basic ground then you need to join some gangs or clubs. Build a trust list that supports the gangs. Share common interest whenever you have a chance with them. Keep good relationship with the gang members, don't limit yourself in the gangs always. There are many members who are not part of any gang but individually they earned so much respects that everyone admire them. Share the same views that they like, they want to hear from you. As the result, you will find a lot of highly influential members in your side if you can do things properly. Regularly exchange PMs with them, seek help whenever you need, ask shelter when you are in a situation that an anti-gang is attacking you or specific individuals who are too powerful than you and you can not handle them alone. Don't try to be a hero by your own. Continue, be patient - merit will come, your DT strength will increase, your feedback page will start becoming green and greener even without having any real trade history.
2. Your goal is truly to contribute:
You are in this community because you love Bitcoin and you truly want everyone to understand Bitcoin, understand the benefit of decentralized currency system. You help people when they need information, you create highly valuable contents that are educational, people learn new things from you. They apply it in their own life and benefit from it. You do not care about merit, DT power, rank, becoming a merit source and everything else. But because of your exclusive knowledge, high intellectual character - merit, trust, rank and everything else including money became an easy coming for you.
You pick which road is for you but in any case please don't scam, don't troll. Don't think you are going to oversmart everyone if you do anything wrong or planning to make a wrong step. Eventually you will be exposed and will have a bad end. There are many examples in the community who had big accounts but one mistake even a small one destroyed everything.
Now that you proved your value, worked hard - you are one of the wanted forum member for managers. Managers will find you or in cases you are ready to expose yourself to the potential brand owners. Manages will offer you to join their campaigns. You can even reach out to managers for custom deals. But in this case you need a good pitch so that you can sell yourself and show that you are worthy for the managers or the project owners. We will study such a few sales pitches now and will try to learn from real life examples.
Sample sales pitch (don't copy paste but understand the idea and take notes that you need, then create one for yourself):
Hello
,
I am sending you a business proposal which I believe it may be a win-win for both of us.
I was wondering if you would be interested in having me wearing your signature. I am respecting your company and I, on my side, would be interested in wearing your signature.
What you would win: having a good forum contributor wearing your signature, bringing more awareness to forum users about your company. This, of course, should lead to more customers for you. Based on my forum reputation, the fact that I would wear a signature advertising your company would also bring you more more popularity and, why not, more credibility as well.
What I would win: a fair compensation for wearing your signature.
Why choose me: I am the third most merited user by theymos; at same time, out of more than 3.5M registered users, while having more than 5000 merits earned, I am the 30th most merited user ever. I am also a Default Trust user.
Among other things, I am also the Romanian translator of Bitcoin white paper from bitcoin.org. If you scroll among white paper translations on bitcoin.org, you'll see my name at the Romanian translation.
My best topics were translated 115 times in 11 languages.
I was part of ChipMixer campaign, which was well known for selecting only elitist participants.
I could tell you more about me, but I don't want to sound like bragging myself. However, if you are interested in more details, you can read these 2 topics of mine: Gazeta's reputation thread: 5000 merits in four years and Gazeta's signature for rent.
If you are interested in having this collaboration, please let me know.
Cheers,
Gazeta.Since you already sent one a few months ago, you don't need to be more detailed in this one.
A follow up message can be like below if you receive a reply by any chance.
There are many other tasks that I have implemented within the framework of the forum, but the work done is best reflected in the
feedback left to me. I will be happy to answer your questions and explain the model of how I see the
sig campaign.
~snip~All credit goes to Royse777, for most effective campaign management I could hope for
and I am sure you have seen the huge success they had but eventually the legal things caught them. That’s the problem with huge success for mixers. But anyway,
and many other successful brands.
For your project you need the best of the best campaign management and with me you have it 100%.
. There is a huge audience waiting for you to see your brand like your competitors are advertising in this community, many of them are leaders in their own industry by now. Please read a post from me to respond to a member who once asked about bitcointalk marketing. I am sure you can relate it with your brand too and will be able to realize the importance of bitcointalk marketing for your brand.
Now since you at-least have a basic understanding of the need of advertising, I am sure you will be interested to discuss it.
using your official telegram ID or reply to this PM.
I hope this PM finds you and opens a door for both of us so that we can have a discussion and understand how we can collaborate with each other.
