In order for you to start a successful ICO and I would recommend that you have enough start up funds so that you can be able pay all the marketing expenses. Marketing is an essential tool for new projects launching their ICOs. You should enough funds to run/pay marketing campaigns such as bounty campaigns, banner advertising, ICO listings etc. Make sure that your project is transparent so that potential investors don't end up having doubts, bring your team members forward so that the public can see/read. Be sure to hire a professional graphic and web designer to ensure that your website and graphics are properly designed and looks appealing. These are some of the basics that in my opinion might make your ICO successful.

not only show the white paper and the marketing,  try to get some test of the service before launching so the investors got a real idea of what the ico will do in the real world.

It is a plus to have a service already running, but unfortunately this depends on the project. Many complex and time intensive projects are not able to work 1 - 2 years upfront fund everything out of own pocket to provide a functional solution and sometimes its also not very smart to give too much info to avoiding ideas or technologies to be stolen. Sometimes Its not that easy, tho.

That said, you need to divide between "easy" and "complex" projects. Like, is it a clone of something with small changes, something actually simple or something totally unique and complex. Unfortunately this opens the doors for scams, pretending something unique just make a complex whitepaper but at the end many of them just want to get an alt coin running, be traded and many times there is no real value behind the coin and never will be.

It can be said that it is understandable that "real" & "honest" complex projects (but not to be generalized) needs upfront funds and time to be established.

But it has a bitter taste of course and investors needs to think twice.

Many coins today get released in 3 - 4 weeks. Post white paper, create the coin, promote and run ico (what is probably the most time intensive and expensive thing in such projects) and list it on creepy exchanges.

I think one of the most important things of ICO is  marketing and plan of your ICO. The idea of project can be brilliant  but you prepare weak presentation or your website is not attractive  dont  rely on big investments.

Pay more atantion on small details and prepare mobey for marketing activities.

You definitely need to have a clear understanding of what your project is and why people would want to back it up. All your project’s plans, concepts, risks, solutions and summaries need to have a detailed explanation in your white paper. Investors have to believe in your idea and it’s only possible when they understand the details of the business and benefit backers can get from their contribution.

To start an successful ICO company has to have a strong white-paper. Strong white-paper – strong investors. The goals and the protection of investors’ interests are the three topics which tend to interest the audience the most. They have to be clearly determined and articulated to the audience before the launch of an ICO.

If you need a little advise and some guidance, I suggest you reach out to the people of Cofound.it:  https://cofound.it

Maybe they can help you depending on how good they think your team is.  If you pass thru their selection process and training, it would surely help in making your project more successful.  Good luck.

Thank you for suggesting cofound.it, ofc we know about it, but unfortunately our way is a different one!

Well yeah, if you don't think your team won't make the selection process then I guess it's ok to skip working with Cofound.it and do it on your own.  But working with them does give an ICO project some sort of legitimacy tho.  I mean I know they're not an authority by any means but they're at least better than the ICO's that cropped up out of nowhere.

Why don't you try going thru their selection process?  You'll never know until you try.

Again Thank you for suggesting their service!

I would appreciate if you would stop trying to make it look like that our team is afraid or not professional and highly skilled and that our ico we are going to make might not be good because we do not use their service! I could assume, you promoting their service on the cost of our reputation. Cofoundit is a 3rd party service provider and we will not use it.

Other, you can visit this thread where we discuss possible solutions to give an extra trust factor to icos... "A community driven audit service" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2135456.40

To answer the title in a simple way, you just put up everything you have to offer with your token and that is what would attract investors to contribute in your ICO. The investors who look into your project and find potential in it are the ones who would make the ICO successful.
Other than this, be sure to use an escrow at the time of the ICO so the investors are sure they're not putting their money in a runaway scam.

Thank you for contributing!

Make sure you have a well written business plan alongside a pitch deck that will define your business and revenue model. Most whitepapers I've seen only detail on the technical side and ICOs of the projects. And it's so unfortunate that most ICO investors don't care about what the company business model is, they wanna start trading their token and watching 10x or 100x. Period.

So you actually don't care about the technical part as long as the numbers in the business plan do look good to you?

Yeah.. feels like 99% of the ico's can't, don't or won't deliver.
Why would they.. they can get a new, bigger, easier bag of money for setting up the next ico and doing it all over again.

Sadly, still many of them get funded by the crowed falling in marketing, pr and dubious recommendations...
