Title: Whats your strategy on PR?
Post by: markzookerburg on December 05, 2013, 12:44:21 pm
Hello Bytemaster

First off - I appreciate your work. I sincerely am obliged to you in multiple ways. Investing into protoshares has opened multiple doors for me and its growth is directly linked to my prosperity. Therefore I'd ask you to do a few things which I believe will help us propel in the right direction

1. When are we going to do press releases?
If protoshares is covered in sites like techcrunch and other major tech/business publications the demand and awareness for PTS increases -directly bringing in demand and hikes in prices for those holding on to your coins. In comparison to other coins not any mention of PTS has been made anywhere major and I feel this is pretty stupid. We have a marketing guy on board and its about time we used him to our advantage. I saw that you don't use facebook, so we wont have an fb page? how stupid is that- please do hire someone to handle fb ,press releases and other mediums of spreading awareness

2. Please list PTS in major exchanges
Most people barely know about protoshares because we're not out there in major exchange sites.
Can we please be listed on major websites so that the price hikes quicker ? :)

I pretty much agree with you on almost everything. However, #2 doesn't depend (directly) on the III's board. What I believe is that #2 relies heavily on #1, so if #1 is successful, #2 comes around as a given fact!

I think we began tapping on things and got started already.
Am a major coin holder. I hold the highest number of coins from my native country India - and I literally rely on the coins rise to fund my start-up. Every hike in the coins value is a few more days of survival for me :)

We recognize the need for Marketing and thus brought Brian on board and he started full time just a few days ago.  Prior to a press release we want the new website produced so we maximize impact.

Are you developing the website yourself or depending on someone else?
I don't find it right to have a bounty given to someone to develop a site - deployment time will be forever at that rate.
I hope you have something ready to deploy asap.
When keyhotee coems in 2 weeks you want it to have maximum exposure -waiting on such things is a bad call.

I have hired Super3 to manage the whole thing.

Is there any estimated dates for the press release and release of the site?
Which sites are we looking to make the Press releases at?

Please direct these questions to Brian who is in charge of marketing now and this is all he is thinking about.   I have to focus on BitShares.

I appreciate your questions and wanted to give a quick update: Press Releases go out Jan 1 for AngelShares as well as our new Bounty Campaign. 

You'll find a discussion has already begun in the forum for the Angelshares PR and a bounty of 10PTS offered to the winning submission(s) by Dec 31.

We do have a protoshares facebook page, additional pages are being created for our soon to be released products.

Contact whoever made this video and please give this guy a bounty to make a video explaining DACs. This is the best Bitcoin explanation video I have seen

Not sure it fits in the PR part but this is a great animated explanation of how btc works. If those guys can explain something like this they can explain bitshares no doubt!

I threw this together because everyone is asking what I do for ''work''. Having this FB page as a reference is the best way to explain it to those who have no idea what the concept of cryptocurrency is. I think a Facebook page is not necessary, but it doesn't hurt either. I can give Admin to Brian/marketing or I can run it for you autonomously or by direction.

I'm not a fan of Facebook. I have lots of friends and family that are though. BTW, I put 3I's street address as the Bull statue on Wall Street.

Dan sitting on a panel at a conference would give I3 and Bitshares great credibility...

The past 2 conferences I have been on panels and this conference we are hosting an entire reception with our branding all over it.

One of our team members is but not me.  We are announcing our own conference dedicated to DACs and focused on bigger ideas than every bitcoin conference I have been to.

I will speak briefly at the reception.
