Getting Started Guide
So you want to collect some crypto coins and benefit from the Airdrops and Bounties. Here I will share with you a brief overview of my crypto token experience in the hopes that it may be less painful for you.
What is an Airdrop?
The term is when dropping food, military troops and supplies to needy regions and refugees. Now in the digital world, someone yells airdrop, come running. A bunch of coins or tokens are about to be poured onto the crowd. The purpose is an instant potential consumer base and product exposure. The companies will be willing to give up a bit of their fortune in exchange for your media resources. You may not think you have anything of value, but you have a unique reputation with your friends and family, who will sooner listen to you than a company they don’t know. While in the course of getting you to sign up, they will walk you buy the white papers and data on their venture.
A Bounty is a finders fee for someone who brings buyers and investors to the seller.
Here is a list of steps to get going and to build your entourage of followers.
First you need to create an ERC-20 Ethereum wallet. Go to http://myetherwallet.com. Create a new wallet, save the keys to your drive.
Download the Metamask extension at the Chrome store.
Join a reliable telegram community that will feed you data and news on airdrop events. Visit http://t.me/bobbyscryptoairdrops. One thing that is noteworthy about my channel, I’ll post about 10 or so a day. I will spend no money in doing it. Also, I will have completed the sign-up process personally. If it is on there, the requests were reasonable and confidence will be high on delivery. Read the fine print to make sure you understood the steps correctly. There will be brief mentions of qualifications that are easily overlooked. For instance, not just to follow on Twitter, but to Like, Retweet AND comment on their pinned post. Be witty, clever and genuine on your comments.
Create an email address just for airdrops. You are about to get a lot of junk mail. As you sign up, keep an eye on the messages for the call to KYC, or Know Your Customer, to properly identify you. The tax guys and legal investigators want to know where you got your money. But for you, this means they will release your tokens soon.
Create profiles on the following sites and bookmark your page.
http://reddit.com
http://bitcointalk.org
http:// Facebook.com
http://twitter.com
http://medium.com
http://discord.com
http://Steemit.com
http://pinterest.com
Start collecting email addresses from consenting friends. Increase your friend base in social media. Invite, follow back. Post some stuff, get them engaged even if the saying of the day.
Next, gear up to sign up for airdrops.
Add all of your key pieces of info to your phone dictionary. Save the following: Adding Custom Words
Here are some essentials: ETH ERC-20 address, Twitter url, Facebook url, email address, bitcointalk.org profile link, LinkedIn if you have one, your common username, telegram, Twitter and Facebook usernames. Add them to the dictionary as 2 or 3 letter short words. For instance, I entered bby for bobbyboehler1000@gmail.com. This saves so much time.
Pin your favorite 2 or 3 airdrop channels at the top of telegram so you can tap into what’s new to start your hunt for the day. Get a basic spreadsheet or checklist app. These ICOs/Airdrops are about to add up. Add the Token Name, website to verify you got the tokens they promised, and any outstanding steps. Come a month from now, and you’ve gone through this process 225 times, promised almost 20,000 tokens, and you want to know if additional requirements have been posted, or which ones are outstanding, this list will be all you have.
Create your own channel with some clever name. If you are graphically endowed, get a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud for $49 at Adobe.com. Get a subscription to Adobe stock. Download some pics and make something awesome. Things move so fast in this game. The graphics may be what people remember is the 1/4 second of you they capture. Telegram spins by so quickly, a memorable logo will be how they find you on the list.
Finally, if someone follows you, follow them back. Send a quick thank you note to let them know you noticed. As you are sharing info on events, inject a little of your personality.
Remember, get them to trust you AND behave in a manner worthy of their trust.
Avoid people selling “special” deals. Also, if the deal is too good to be true, it probably is, approach cautiously. Always ask, “what’s in it for them?” Someone tries to scam you, blow the whistle and make them never forget you. Use your legal rights to make the crypto world a better place and protect the innocent. It starts with you. Follow your moral code.
