I mean it would depend on what platform and all i suppose, but the devs of the project I'm in does lots of "coordinated shilling", things like raiding a telegram chat or commenting on twitter posts.

I really don't know how effective they are? What is the main marketing in crypto anyways?

Technically its SPAM, A massive amount of spamming. If you see a team of shillers specially the paid one they work in a coordinated manner, You see them talking about a certain coin and how that coin makes them millionaire in just 5 minutes. In turn newbies and believers will search for it and invest on it thinking they can expect the same returns like those shillers.

Shilling works but most form of shilling is happening in the pure spam like they ask you to invest an a project on comment section where there is nothing related to cryptocurrencies are going and also some random group of newbies started to post and talk themselves about the project and claims that they made huge money out of it.

Pay someone with huge social media influence and ask them to shill, this has some chance to work.

Sort of? I mean that is how you get to become a big coin but "how" you do it matters a ton. There are shillers who come in here and write about a coin and leave and that is not the way to do it, there is nothing you can gain from that and people can see through that very easily and won't invest.

However I have seen projects that have a "shill" team and they just go around twitter, facebook, even instagram and bitcointalk and reddit and basically all other social media places and try to talk about that token every day and everywhere, which works because if you can get the name out there constantly and people can't avoid you, that means eventually your coin will get more and more people. So how you do it matters a ton, there are bad shillers who hurt the project more than it helps it, and there are shillers who help the project and make it go viral.

I don't trust shills Grin

because they exists for pumping and dumping sake, I've not seen shills on projects like polkadot and avalanche for example because they possess real use case and they are in for a very long term, shilling only exists for coins like shiba inu and co lol

Nah, because community members are very quick to identify shills here. And we are going to call it no matter what, on the contrary, it could backfire on the project itself. Read this one: Don't get tricked by hidden spam on this forum.

Main marketing? I would say the best is still signature campaigns. Getting a reputable and trusted bounty managers is also a plus for the project.

Shilling is effective if they are from popular personalities like Elon Musk for example, a single tweet from him can surge a coin very high at the moment but this isn't the best way to shill a project, if I have to invest in a project it won't be because of a shill from popular people but ...

2. Currently trending use cases ( NFT and other )

What do you mean by "strong partnerships"? Maybe I should look at these guys.

Cheers.

Well, It is effective but it is considered spam so instead of doing that why not bounty and other campaigns i always say that to my clients to do those things instead of shilling.

I think shilling is illegal as well.
