Growth hacking strategy

[AlexeyAnshakov]

Please create a plan of Growth Hacking Strategy. What have to be done to be success with ICO. @AlWaleed84 @desireedickerson please add your comments if you have ones.

Find more resources like this https://www.coingecko.com/ico?locale=en to get listed while ICO to attarct more attention.

[AlexeyAnshakov]

Please use https://github.com/webRunes/WRIO-InternetOS/issues/1246 after completion.

[AlexeyAnshakov]

We have to do the same https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2036653 to create and grow our community. https://github.com/webRunes/WRIO-InternetOS/issues/1256

[AlexeyAnshakov]

https://github.com/webRunes/WRIO-InternetOS/issues/1248

[AlWaleed84]

Social websites to be active in for community exposure/project visibility:

1- Bitcointalk.org (Announcement) Full project introduction with completed diagrams/graphics, clear presentation on what is webRunes with no room for questions to be raised, comprehensive white-paper and a clear, well estimated roadmap of the project.

2- Medium.com post (Formal Announcement) Same as Bitcointalk.org post, while including more technical details in these posts.

3- Reddit r/cryptocurrency, r/ethereum (Engagement) Introducing project clearly to /r/ethereum and a link to Medium.com post.

4- webRunes Twitter activity (All Updates+Engagement) Daily/bi-weekly updates on current events, technical challenges, small statements reflecting goals etc.

5- Quora (Brand awareness) Use FAQ (will be in the WP) for this.

ICO Listing websites for visibility/crowd notification:

• https://www.smithandcrown.com/icos/ ^ ICO listings, and reviews.
• https://www.icoalert.com/
• https://www.coingecko.com/ico?locale=en
• https://www.ico-list.com/

However, most these websites would list the ICO once some community outreach is present.

ICO Launching services we have contacted: (white-paper needed to further discussions)

Known trusted sources for listing ICO's: (will list more if found)

• Zeppelin Solutions https://zeppelin.solutions/escrow

ICO Consulting, Marketing:

• Sutton Stone https://suttonstone.com/ico-consulting/

...to be updated

[desireedickerson]

I think this is a good list. There a quite a few additional subreddits we can probably engage with as well. I think we really need to get the Twitter feed going. Even if it is just retweeting other relevant users, commenting, and liking tweets. It will at least help us grow a community and have an audience to reach to at ICO. Thoughts?

[AlexeyAnshakov]

It'll take a lot of time: search tweets and retweet. Without original content, I do not believe that we will succeed. Anyway, we need a bitcoin/reddit community. They have a relevant audience.

[Shathyan]

Quora is one good medium where we can write & promote. We ourself can post questions from the buyer point of view & answer from our official account. This can give us more visibility & also brand trust for the buyers

[AlexeyAnshakov]

@Shathyan true. We'll use our FAQ for this. Thanks for the contribution.

[Shathyan]

I feel the success an ICO mostly depends on how the investors trust us. The 2 key points are

• Our WhitePaper
• Our Branding ( Gain more trust from the investors )

For Brand & Trust; We should try to get a coverage on Forbes, Tech Crunch, Mashable etc which will add more trust. Also blogs or communities which talk about Crypto-Currency like Steemit.com

[AlexeyAnshakov]

That's the point of https://github.com/webRunes/WRIO-InternetOS/issues/1233

[desireedickerson]

@AlexeyAnshakov definitely agree. Just thinking that we should promote somewhat BEFORE the ICO, about the ICO. But waiting if fine too!

[AlexeyAnshakov]

@desireedickerson I believe that Reddit, Bitcointalk and Linkedin groups (like this guy follows https://www.linkedin.com/in/porat-elad-540ab0145/) are best places for promotion. We have to publish our first posts there soon. https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8623314/profile another group example

[AlexeyAnshakov]

We have to spread the word through communities like https://opendata.stackexchange.com/

[AlexeyAnshakov]

Not yet, but we should.

[ghost]

Ok I've created the list to keep track I will also update it as we add more - You can use it or not whatever works for you j.

[AlexeyAnshakov]

Please find social media groups, websites and forums of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypherpunk to promote us. We have to show that the project adhere to the cypher-ideology. Use it: https://player.fm/podcasts/Cypherpunks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2600:_The_Hacker_Quarterly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_(magazine) please find more. @AlWaleed84 we've to contact https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypherpunk#Noteworthy_cypherpunks to find support.

[AlexeyAnshakov]

Perhaps we should use their service https://www.linkedin.com/in/joeacosta I suppose we should use premium linkedin features while ICO to write directly to ppl.

https://opendatacommunity.slack.com/ find more Slack channels to promote us.

[ghost]

Hi There -- Is there a telegram chat that we can start as well? -- or is there one? I searched it but couldnt' find one ᐧ j.

[AlexeyAnshakov]

No, why do we need it?

[ghost]

I see that a lot of ICOs are using telegram chat more so than slack ᐧ

j.

[AlexeyAnshakov]

True, but it's doesnt' answer "why". One channel is enough, no need to spray our small resources to support multiple channels.

[ghost]

Slack is not being used as much for ICOs - the shift is towards telegram

If we are launching the ICO in January - it would be beneficial to have a solid account set up now - and start getting traction through it before the ICO launch.

I understand that it is technically the same thing - but if you look at bitcointalk ico ann threads - telegram is where people are being directed

• not slack. - just an observation. ᐧ

j.

[AlexeyAnshakov]

I'm not against telegram, I just don't see the point to use it. I'm ok if you start it with @AlWaleed84 , but if the main gate is bitcointalks, there no point to promote there telegram or smt. else, if users already found us.

Offer from @cryptosocialMads $ 280 banner $ 230 timeline $ 180 sidebar $ 180 Post in CryptoBlog in token equivalent 1 month duration

[RoySasson]

If they believe their traffic is good maybe we can do performance based deal ? Display advertising is tricky since you can't tell how good is their traffic until you tried it

Everyone with a larger following I'm reaching out to and hearing back from seems to be most interested in paid advertising even if our followings match closely, they'd rather be paid for the service. Some of the offers: https://www.youtube.com/user/NiedzwiedzTheGamer 15 minute video here for 2 ETH These all ran by same, didn't want to cross promote and initially wanted BTC but he he's open to token payment, still in negotiation. 1st one: https://www.youtube.com/user/extremalneparodie 2nd one: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnD9lXzUi56YW3V5BPTO8fg 3rd one: https://www.youtube.com/user/NiedzwiedzTheGamer A quote from the manager of ICO_Telegraph- 1) Regular Post - 0.1 BTC (short description of your project / ICO) 2) Full review of ICO, plus detailed description of all the pros - 0.13 BTC 3) Full analysis with an urgent advice to invest + a note that this is NOT advertising + mentioning that we invested ourselves - 0.17 BTC 4) 3 separate publications within a week that will remind users about your ICO. The implementation is totally native, for example, in one of the news posts - 0.1 BTC 5) Additionally, leave the post in the top for a week - 0.08 BTC 6) Notification of the post 4 days in a row -0.1 BTC (only if the post is in the top)

If you select several options we provide discounts.

We also accept payment with ETH (at the exchange rate of the payment moment).

A special offer 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 0.5 BTC (instead of 0.68 BTC). 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 0.33 BTC (instead of 0.45 BTC).

Then there was https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAESKJhBDc_VEtv9RPA And they're hapoy to croas promote but want it in our announcement channel not the group channel.

[benjamin421]

And @roy I'll reach back out and see if they're open to that

[AlexeyAnshakov]

ICO_Telegraph

What's the link?

[benjamin421]

My text below their user was their offer

[AlexeyAnshakov]
