Most maketing strategies which ought to work, but are not working, are mainly because the era of mere hype with nothing to show forth, such as the main essence of the project, has almost ended or totally ended. If you have your product ready and you adopt any old style of marketing, it will work.
let people see what you have got to offer and your project will be trusted.

Mainly what was stated here is true. The bigger issue is IEOs taking over most generic forms of marketing, exchanges are pumping out massive campaigns that no ICO can compete with, unless you're pretty well funded initially (which is a rarity in itself).

I would typically say good projects get noticed, because they are usually backed by legit people. There's of course many exceptions, but those exceptions are made of people who know what they are doing for the most part.

There's a lot of projects that never make it though, or die during various of phases. The first major phase is after the initial framework is completed and you enter the wheel of the great shitcoin flood, getting noticed above the relentless and daily spam is very tricky, especially on limited budgets.

Old ICO marketing tactics work to an extent, but if you're referring to influencers, YouTube videos and all that bullshit resolving around notable people hyping projects (aside from specific key crypto figures), those tactics mostly have died out.

There is a lot you can do to maneuver and capture audiences through various of means, but marketing takes on a conventional and non-conventional role in crypto, it really goes much deeper than what's explained here, there's a lot of little niche tactics that work still.

Just remember, wherever your project is displayed, that's a source of traffic. Be sure to be ready to have the best presentation possible, with the greatest transparency from team members. If you're launching a project that's incomplete or missing various of things, then your project is pretty much dead on arrival, you will be heavily scrutinized or not knowingly kill your own project. You never know how many people view something and walk away because of X factor (which can be virtually anything), it's best to have everything pre-planned, and all variables known. It's quite difficult on limited budgets, but 80% of crypto-based marketing comes at little cost up-front, the remaining 20% that costs something is where good ICOs and great ICOs diverge.

Also keep note, the majority of crypto projects are highly fakes. Botted threads, botted telegram chats, fake users on SM, fake messages and etc. Very popular in crypto, finding genuine projects is difficult, but not impossible. Out of like 50 ICOs i view here on BTT and elsewhere, i might find like 1-2 I could get behind.

Preparation and finding the proper individuals is key when marketing or trying to grow your crypto. That's just a basic summary of it all, this goes much much further and indepth ofc. Goodluck!

Thank you for taking the time to reply and supply me with quality information that I will use to my advantage.

I was curious if you know about the process of creating an ERC-20 token and if it was difficult to do?

It is not difficult to create a basic contract, but if you want specialized functions then yeah you'll get into some tricky areas. In addition, there's a few security vulnerabilities that you have to be wary of, the best practice for a team who has little experience with blockchains and contracts is having a 3rd party audit your blockchain. Ofc this isn't a requirement, few do it, but will signal to your community your best intentions and transparency behind the team itself.

Thanks for the prompt reply and pointers. I do acknowledge that the smart contracts should be audited by several 3rd parties, but the difficulty part is finding reliable developers to create smart contracts. Ideally, I would like to have one of Ethereum's developers to do the task for me as my project resides in Toronto which is where Ethereum is located. Do you know the best way to contact Ethereum and their team? I cannot find any contact information for the company other for the contact form on their website which I have already tried filling out. I will talk to our company to compensate you with some tokens for your continuous support.
