1. Join a bounty project promoted by reputable bounty managers here. You can try to search a thread here in the forum for them and there are quite few results of them in a list form.
All of what you said are really helpful for the newbies who want to join the bounty campaign but this is for me the best one. For sure, campaign managers have built their reputation here in the forum and they don't want that to get destroyed just because of one scam project. For sure they've reviewed it first before handling it so... yeah for me this is the best.
8. If you have the coins or tokens in your possession and the value is good enough then sell it.
Don't wait for a long time.
This is my mistake when I'm still joining in the bounty campaigns. I choose to keep a small portion of it and then old the large portion instead of just selling it all as they are getting listed in an exchange. My mindset at that time is that I will hold some so that if the project will be a successful one in the future then I can sell it at a higher price but it was the complete opposite. Either way, I still got some profits from altcoin bounty campaigns and bought a phone thanks to them
