Social media as a means of marketing for ICOs

IOTA held an ICO in 2015, and was able to raise

 1337 btc. IOTA ICO was successful and just this month, on Nov 13,  they announced the

official registration of IOTA’s foundation.



The gist is writing good content for people to connect with. People respect good writing and

connect more with people who they can relate with their writings. If you can’t bring

 good writing to the table, stay off of LinkedIn.

3. Youtube
Youtube is best for grassroot campaign. Since Youtube is a platform for creators to create

 content,and ordinary people to consume that content for free, make lots of videos about

your ICOs. You need good marketing to make your ICO successful, and what better way

than getting people to talk about it by putting videos of yourself and your team on Youtube?

 People forget things easily so they need a reminder constantly in order for them not to forget.

 We all watch entertainment through the news, through media, and through other outlets. Youtube

 is one of those other outlets that provide great opportunities for creators who know their onion well.

You can make the videos by yourself or you could contact people with a lot of followers  to make one

 for you. It is also best when you appear in the videos with your team and talk about your ICO.

Adverts should be rolled out and invite questions from your audience.

Your video should explain your ICO and how it works. You could also list out top cryptocurrencies

by current valuation. Be fully prepared for questions. Encourage questions from your audience and

 while questions are rolling, try your best to answer all of them. Be honest with your audience and

 let them see you, your ICO for what it is, as you believe in it.
4. Reddit and Other Online Forums
There is no need to engage in mindless spam, a much more effective approach is to

 publish in thematic communities.

When Bitcoin first appeared in 2008, Satoshi used these forums to spread the word

and to manage the network. Reddit and Bitcointalk are extremely powerful to reach

out to the crypto community. On bitcointalk, there is an altcoin discussion thread where

ICOs are announced on everyday. On reddit, you could create a subreddit - a forum

dedicated to a specific topic on Reddit - where you write about your project. r/icocrypto

 is a subreddit that has 15,146 readers. It is an active community where upcoming ICOs

 are discussed. You can make your own subreddit and write about your project.

 Users see news concerning blockchains and cryptocurrencies and know what is

happening with virtual monies and new technologies. Having a powerful presence on

 these platforms months before commencing your ICO will go a very long way in building

 and balancing your hype for your ICO launch.
