I have a question. Many well-known users, including those with a excelent reputation, create threads announcing their availability to rent out their signature space (or simply post it in their signature area).
Has this worked? Do people contact you to negotiate?
Yeah sometimes the number seems to be higher itself but many signature campaigns are running just for a month or two to expose their names to the community. Others have like 7-10 members .
My concerns are mostly about the quality rather than quantity. Even some managers announced that the campaign will last at least x weeks or months and promised to run for x additional weeks after the announcement of closure of the campaign but didn't keep their promise. I don't blame them, I blame the strategy of these campaigns to use the forum members that way.
That's right, they're trying to evaluate now if that strategy of running a campaign for a couple of weeks to months has already given them their edge of making their names exposed to the public.
We can't blame them for that and in fact, we should be happy that they're looking at the forum which is a good place for them to advertise their services.
Even they won't last long like the most effective one of running their campaigns in the longer term.
I think short-term campaigns will always exist. The good part is that there are practically always campaigns available to apply for on the bitcointalk. I feel sorry for the members users, there're practically no more campaigns for them.
