My best source for information is the BitcoinTalk forums. If you’re not involved in bitcointalk, now is the time to start becoming involved. This site provides discussion forums for bitcoin and alt coins which is key to deciding which coins took a manipulated dive or which ones are simply dying.
Free coins!
On BitcoinTalk, when a new coin is announced and is in the crowdfunding phase, the development team will set aside a portion of the coin supply for bounties. These are free coins that are distributed to any and all users that promote the coin.
Signature Bounties
Bitcointalk allows your profile to advertise your favorite coin as a signature and as an avatar, but most importantly, I use this to advertise new coins during their ICO because of the bounties. Bounties are the way for new alt coins to get the word out to the rest of the community, and because you’re promoting the coins, you will also get a reward. Nearly every new coin that comes into the altcoin ecosystem has had a bounty program on BCT.
Blogging bounties
Many coins containing a reputable development team will provide multiple avenues to promote the coin and reach the most amount of users. One of the best ways to become involved is the blogging bounties!
There are not that many writers/ bloggers out there, with that said, if you blog for a new coin during the bounty campaign you will receive a significant piece of the reward pie.
If you are a blogger on Steemit, then why not shoot for the highest rewards by making a blog promoting a future coin. Become an altcoin shill for a chance at increasing your rewards and becoming involved in new technologies.
Even if you’re not the best writer, remember that content is subjective and therefore if you follow the bounty requirement (typically including links) then you will receive a stake of the allocated coins for the bounty.
Translation Bounties
Unfortunately I only know the English language, but if your fluent in another language, most campaigns, if not all, have a bounty specifically for translations. This bounties are one of the more significant paying ones because the small group who actually participate and the fact only one user per language receives the bounty.
Promote Steemit
By submitting a blog for a bounty program, you will cause BitcoinTalk users to inadvertently stumble onto Steemit just to read your blog. This in itself, can promote Steemit by attracting new users to the site if they weren’t aware Steemit existed.
I personally feel that it you already blog for Steemit, then you should also be involved in blogging campaigns for BitcoinTalk. This provides exposure for promoting new coins along with exposure for Steemit – win/win. You cannot loose! Even if your posting here doesn’t receive a reward, you will at least receive a reward through the bounty.
If you haven’t visited BitcoinTalk, now is the time to check it out and sign up.
