Reach out to your target audience on Twitter:
One of the best ways to reach ICO focused audience used to be Twitter ads. But, in March 2018 Twitter banned crypto ads on their platform.
The vastness of Twitter can make you randomly spam your account with unnecessary tweets. The efforts might not be worth of your time, so it’s best to reach out to your target audience.
How can you reach out to the audience that cares about your ICO?
Find them through keyword research and follow them. If you wish to find relevant Twitter audience, here’s what you can do:
Go to Circleboom and click on Smart Search under the follow tab. Search for relevant hashtags. For example, you can follow accounts that are interested in bitcoin. Just go and type $btc in the keyword/hashtag section and you will get a list of profiles using $btc.
You can also set filters like follower count, tweets count, date of joining to filter accounts that are currently active.
As Twitter is one of the most important social media tools for ICO marketing, it’s important to manage it smartly.
2. Actively participate in Facebook groups and Reddit forums:
There are many Facebook groups with discussions on cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and ICOs. A quick search on Facebook will show you the most relevant groups and you can join them instantly.
Even several Reddit forums have ICO and crypto subreddits that you must utilize to get the word out. Don’t spam on Reddit about your ICO offerings otherwise you might be banned. It’s best to involve yourself in a meaningful discussion on Reddit and improve your karma to promote well later.
