Hi guys,

Myself and my team want to launch an ICO. We already have the idea and reputable team, but I was wondering... what does it take to have a successful ICO in 2018?

Obviously, in 2017 ICOs were free millions of dollars.. but in 2018 what do you suggest I do for a successful ICO and what steps should I take?

PS: Please no FUD or pessimism on doing an ICO.. just tell me what you suggest on being successful with an ICO in 2018 (e.g. what variables are required)?

I suggest you first work on a prototype or MVP so you have something to show for during the ICO. Honestly it kinda bothers me when you say: ''I already have an idea and a reputable team'' and to be quite honest, from that sentence alone it seems like the ICO is the product and not the other way around. If you really want a succesfull ICO, don't go the bounty route it really doesn't add much of value and only causes spam caused by bounty hunters and anoyance. Also MVP is important.

The word FUD should be ''banned'', this is critisiscm and my sincere opinion. Its like people plug up their ears and shout LALALALLA! whenever someone has something to say that isn't in alignment with the agenda's of everyone.

Can you give me the name of your company? I will know to avoid your ICO.

Also there are companies you can hire to advise and help you plan your ICO, if you want a succesfull one I suggest you take that route. Goodluck.

Okay thanks for your advice.

I will create an MVP and get an ICO firm to advise me.

I have a friend who wants to start his own ICO firm and will do it as a partner (no upfront cost), but I don't know if that's the best route vs choosing a reputable firm.
