Marketing and creation of the meme coin

Marketing is an inseparable concept when making a cryptocurrency meme. It is that they do not have more functionalities than that, being a meme. In terms of marketing, we must grasp what drives the market (hype). and which platforms are the most used.

If we analyze objective data and examples of meme coin success stories, most of the tokens with good publicity and higher yields generally use "influencer" promotions and are popularized in DAOs by Alpha Callers.

About the platforms, it is common to use Raydium, Birdeye, Jupiter Aggregator and Dexscreener to exchange tokens. Also Telegram groups to follow the market, trends and new tokens.

Other valued marketing actions are communities, social media platforms such as X and Discord, and it is also highly recommended to explore the option of having your own website for your project.

Choose Solana to create a meme coin

Solana is known for its high transaction speed and low fees, it is an ideal platform to launch a meme coin.

Moreover, during the last time, Solana has been one of the most chosen blockchains for producing a meme coin. . This is easy to understand, supply and demand, if it is in demand, it is because it is a good choice!

Configure authorities of your Solana meme coin with Solana Coin Maker

Beyond the Solana Coin Maker that we present youSolana Token Creator), you also have the possibility of modifying authorities such as "Immutable", "Revoke Freeze" and "Revoke Mint". Below we explain what each one is and why you should consider adding these options in the mint of your future memecoin.

On the Solana blockchain, a token has 3 different authorities:

• Update Authority allows you to update the token's metadata. When we revoke it, we make the token "immutable".
• Freeze Authority allows you to freeze the token in the holder's wallet. You cannot create a liquidity pool if you do not revoke the freeze authority.
• Mint Authority allows you to mint more supply of the token you created.

It is important for us, as founders, to revoke these authorities to ensure that people feel safe investing in our token.

We can revoke them all at Smithii Tools while creating our meme coin, all in one action!

Preliminary considerations when using Solana Meme Coin creator

Before we start using the Solana Meme Coin Creator dApp or also called Solana Token Creator, we must decide on the token's custom properties, such as: Name, Abbreviation (Symbol), Decimals (determines the amount of tokens in each lock), Total Supply and Description.

NAME AND SYMBOL

As for names and abbreviations, it is best to carry your project name. If you do not have an NFT project, you should look for a meaningful name that has never been used before, but at the same time is easy for the person who sees or hears it to remember.

Marketing strategies start to operate from the choice of the name of your token, even more so if it is a Meme Coin, the humor or paradise can be contained in the name itself!

DESCRIPTION

The description is where you present the idea behind the creation of the token, write something related to the nature of the meme in a few words.

DECIMALS

The decimal number can vary from 0 to 9. Generally if you want to create a meme coin for your project, you should use the number between 6 and 9. The most common is 6.

SUPPLY

Sourcing is one of the most important parts, as we have to organize the financial landscape, this decision is closely linked to the Tokenomics of your project.

LOGO IMAGE

Another of the most impressive features when creating Solana token is the logo design. When designing tokens, you also need to pay attention to the images and colors of the logo to highlight them. This is also one of the factors that identify the brand and attract investors' attention. So, we should focus on creating something unique and different.

This section is even more important when creating a meme coin on Solana, as the image must be representative and easily shareable. Please use PNG format with a size of 1000x1000 pixels.

Launch Meme Coin in Solana

When you create a meme coin on Solana, the wallet you have used to create it will be the "Authority Wallet". This means that you will have full control over the token in question.

That authority is what will allow you to pair the token with another token that already has value in the market, such as $SOL or $USDC, which is known as creating liquidity.

Considerations prior to adding liquidity to Solana's meme coin

• It is recommended to revoke all authorities of your currency meme.
• Most currencies meme add between 50% and 80% of total supply to the liquidity pool.
• The more liquidity you add, the more attractive your token will be. To get a successful meme coin, I would recommend adding at least 2000 USD.
• Your token will be "sniped" at launch. These "snipers" will get part of your liquidity. Therefore, the more liquidity you add, the less they will affect. The more promotion you do before the launch creating real buying pressure, the less they will affect.
• It is recommended to lock the liquidity pool token, LP token (tokens you receive when creating the liquidity pool). You can burn LP tokens at sol.com and lock LP tokens by following this guide. More on this later in this article!
• Correctly set up the "Min Order Size" and "Tick Size". Read on to learn more about this!

Creating Liquidity Pool of meme coin on Solana step by step

1. Go to Create liquidity pool ( https://tools.smithii.io/liquidity-pool/Solana ) and connect your wallet to use the tool.
2. Select the "Base Token" (the token you created and has no market value yet).
3. Select the "Quote Token " (a token with a market value, usually SOL or USDC).
4. Set the "Min Order Size" (Minimum amount of tokens that users will be able to purchase).
5. Set the "Tick Size" (Minimum amount that can change the price of your token)*.
6. Set advanced options: Event Queue Length, Request Queue Lenght and Orderbook Lenght (only if you want to use a cheap Market ID , from 0.4 SOL)** )**
7. Set the number of tokens and SOL/USDC you want to add.
8. Set launch date (optional)
9. Snipe your Own token (optional)
10. Click on "Create Liquidity Pool" and accept the 3 transactions.

For steps 4 and 5 you can use the following chart as a reference on how to set Min Order Size and Tick Size when creating Liquidity Pool on Solana:

Sniper your Token is a highlight of Smithii's Liquidity Pool creation tool. If you want to know more about Solana Sniper Bot check out this post

*You can use this chart as a reference for Min Order Size and Tick Size:

**In "advanced options" we can modify the size of our OpenBook Market, I leave you the inputs that you should use for 3 different sizes that I can recommend you:

Considerations about a OpenBook Market

If you want to save money when launching your meme coin, using an inexpensive OpenBook Market is a good way, but we must understand how it works and how to use it correctly.

An OpenBook Market is a "token pair" stored on Solana blockchain, which allows us to aggregate liquidity and is necessary for people to trade these tokens on DEX like Raydium.

The Market ID occupies a space on the blockchain that processes the transactions of our token pair, which is why we must pay a fee to create it.

Cost of creation of the OpenBook Market

The cost of creating a Market ID on Solana varies depending on the bytes we occupy. We can modify the "length" of our market to make our OpenBook Market cheaper.

The cheaper our marketplace is, the fewer transactions it can process.

We will tell you about the potential problems we can have if we do not use an optimal configuration of our market ID.

Problems with cheap OpenBook Market

According to the experiences of the users of Smithii, we had coins meme with around 500k Marketcap that had no problem in transactions.

If you are launching meme coin on Solana, a market ID of 0.4 SOL works perfectly well.

Moreover, if your project grows, you can always create more Market ID and different Liquidity Pools, even within different DEX.

To summarize, the problem we would have is that a percentage of the transactions with our liquidity pair will give error, but for that the volume of transactions would have to be very high.

Burn/Lock your token pair from your meme coin

lock the Liquidity Pool tokens (those we receive when we create it) is an excellent option to show transparency and credibility to investors, motivating them to invest in our meme coin.

If the liquidity tokens are not burned and locked, they can be used to remove liquidity from the Solana liquidity pool....yes, the famous "Rug Pull".

To burn our LP Tokens, we can use sol-incinerator .com. Click on the "pro" button and they will appear in the "LP" window.

To lock our LP tokens, we can use Solana Token Vesting. dApp used for token locking and "vesting" on Solana. Here is a guide on how to do Solana Token locking

How to make money by creating a meme coin on Solana?

The question is not simple, the meme coin appears to be the evolution of the alt coins, the latter need a specific technology or utility to add value, however the meme coin lacks these concepts, they only exist to exist.

But this is not all bad because we can agree that the arguments of a meme coin are given by the sense of belonging that gives the community and the speculative nature of generating wealth to the most novice and inexperienced users, as if it were a democratization of the profits that can be obtained in web3. The larger the community and the higher the proportion of acceptance and growth, the greater the demand for the meme coin and hence its value. .

Surely, if you are the creator of the meme coin you will be among the first to have it among your assets, therefore you will earn more money in relation to the growth of its price. Here is another question: When is the best time to sell my meme coins? It is best to make a staggered sale based on our market analysis.

There is no short answer, but what does define the growth of a meme coin and its price is its community, the marketing around it, the power of the initial marketing, the influencers and callers talking about it, the first buyers earning profits while doing free advertising by sharing their experience, in short, speculation, combined with effective marketing, will determine whether the price of a meme coin rises or falls.

How to make a meme coin on Dexscreener?

Dexscreener is an analysis and visualization tool that allows you to consult or buy prices, in real time. Therefore, you cannot make a meme coin in Dexscreener, but it is possible to list one by doing the following:

1. Creating a token in Solana: the steps to follow are given in a previous section, but once you have your memecoin in a walletyou will be able to create a liquidity pool.
2. Match the meme coin in a liquidity pool: this will allow your meme coin to appear in screeners such as Dexscreener or Birdeye.

In short, a meme coin cannot be created in Dexscreener, it can only appear in this platform when creating a liquidity pool.
