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?
I think for most of them, it worked.
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.
Yes, there will always be the short term. From 1 week to a month. That really depends on the budget that they'll have.
It's also like testing the waters for them but they won't get the maximum exposure and results by just having it in the short term and they know it.
