Bitcoin Forum

I'm currently involved in small memecoin project which fairlaunched on the FTM network and we are currently struggling to get good growth. We have around 350 holders and a few reliable meme makers doing their thing on twitter slowly pushing up our follower base. We've got a modest marketing budget but don't want to blow it all at once.

I'm interested in getting tips and advice on what worked best for some of the more experienced members here.  We have thought about Giveaways, Youtube videos, reddit crypto moonshots posts etc..but not sure which to focus on. Any advice appreciated! 

You need to be able to produce good memes first. Without any good products (memes) you won't get too far.

Doge didn't get Elon's support because it is a cute shitcoin. Doge did produce good quality memes and it has a huge community backing it. (4Chan)

If you can build a community like that, your project surely will become big. Not instantly though. These things take time.

Actually we have some great memes - we just need an audience! Yes hadn't thought about 4chan. Thanks will make an account there!

You hire any influencer whose influence is more higher in the community. Better is that you choose for a celebrity to announce about your project. You can ask them to buy some coins and to announce or show them on their profile.

So, the point is if you are wanna growing your community? There lots of ways to make it happen.



You can start with create a new announcement thread for your project with the hope that people in here will aware about that and start to follow your project. Reddit was not so effective caused by as a new crypto and you need to build your community first before you wanna try to get in touch with reddit. that's a bad place to start. You can start with this forum and then create a marketing campaign. You can also try to copy the marketing trick that already used by some good tokens in here.

What is certain is that the meme coin itself was made for a purpose. Was it made for a short time, played with prices, and then discarded or did you have a long-term determination and really wanted to build the widest possible community. Not only that, in terms of promotion, what you have prepared is proof that you have a long-term goal. It always proves that the meme token is locked in liquidity and restricts the hold of the whales. A few percent have been allocated to be locked. A clear roadmap and the consistency of the team behind it who must have the same goal. The point is not to stop halfway.

Influencers sell tweets. You pay them to send a tweet mentioning your [whatever]. If your [whatever] is poised to take advantage (exchanges, easy to purchase, wallet to store, etc.), you can get a pump so you stakeholders can dump.

You can conduct an airdrop, as teams of similar shitcoin do, in order to increase the number of their subscribers on social networks. In this case, you will pay with your coin, which may not have a price yet and you will not need to spend your advertising budget.

If you're going to give away, the forum is the best place for you to get that audience and engagement that you get. There's the bounty type of giveaway, airdrop and you name it.

Just go to the Bounties section (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0) to check every what's in line to your budgeting. And if that is so, hire a reputable manager that has experienced in doing it so that you won't fall to an incompetent one.

If you wanna build your meme token community and you must be very active to shilling your meme token. I guess so many meme tokens created are doing so many things to be able to attract people to join. This is the most difficult part. I see that so many meme token creators are also creating various thread about their meme tokens in this section as well. You need the hype to make your token become popular and i hope that will not become another rug pull token. You can try to create a thread about your token and explain what will be the purpose of your token. It's so difficult to get the demand.
Doing airdrop, marketing even paying influencer can be alternative ways but remember that if the result will not always make you feel good.

Some good suggestions guys - thanks. Twitter influencers have been hit and miss so far, although perhaps we haven't found the the right ones yet.

An Airdrop seems like an obvious thing to do and having a Bounty Campaign also looks like a good idea. Anyone got any tips on a good bounty manager? Or can I go it alone?

This is the main issue - how to differentiate from other rugpulls. Our token contract has been bespoke coded by an experienced dev team and has the backing by quite a few in the US west coast tech scene. However they are coding guys with little marketing skill. I'll make an Ann and do an Airdrop too. I'll hold off for now as we're putting farming contracts in place to incentivise providing LP so that there's less slippage when big buys come in.

OP, I can't tell how fast you want the return of your Ad investment but, if it's a long term project and you wish to see results that will last longer and may put an end to spending so much money on Advertisement in the future. Then, I think that guest posts will yield a greater traffic in future than the twitter Influencers that charge times two of what cryptocurrency bloggers or sites will take to publish an article about your project. They are some high quality cryptocurrency blogs with good Domain authority that will help to build the back-link to your site.

Great idea thanks for this! Will search around on google and write a few articles. Meanwhile if you have any good blogs to suggest, I'd be happy to take a look!

While it may have turned out to be hugely profitable for some, in reality I see memecoins creating more trash in the space. If I was thinking of memecoins to make a profit, I would think of playing the lottery, it is no different from scams, anyway this is not an area that I like and hope for new people to join can avoid contact with these types.

Perhaps you shouldn't chase the memecoin hype train.

It's very difficult to get one properly going and for good reason - there is simply a lack of demand for this stuff. Thousands of these new tokens launch every day now due to the ease of doing so on the BSC, but only a handful ever make it into the top 200 coins by market cap.

I would suggest adding some more utility to your token rather than purely chasing hype. Perhaps you will get better results from that.

I appreciate your concern that many memecoins are scams but this one is built to last. Our farming contracts incentivise 6 month LP lockups and 90% of the the project LP will also be locked up too for the duration. The dev team have also spent a long time trying to figure out how to build trust and avoid any accusations of a rugpull.  

The secret sauce for meme coins that work so far promises a big return to the investors and is still tempting that they do not have to use big money to invest in their project. The dev always said that their project is different, unique, and have the best performance than the other projects. Unfortunately, many investors do not research details rather than invest in their projects.

You should forget about Giveaways, Youtube videos, Reddit crypto moonshots posts etc. It is time for you to find a better project to invest in and not get a scam from them. We already have bitcoin for the best investment so we do not have to spend money on the project that we do not know how they can survive in the market.

Your boasting a mere 6months lockup LP while LP should lockup longer more than that if you really want to a long term goal to your project. Why will the devs gave a short duration on LP while it should be permanent for liquidity of the token holders?

This shitty lockup scheme from meme coins is what make  this shit coins a clown. The devs are prioritizing on a short term mining pool then commit rug pool once the LP become unlock or slowly dump the market using the tokens allocated from there marketing and other shit allocation from devs.

Lots of meme coins nowadays make our options difficult to choose and we depend on someone like Elon Musk to promote the coins to the public to make them pump. If we don't want to wait for that because it's not really right to depend on the influencer since those guys often change their opinions whenever they already got some decent income. If we want to invest on those coins, we need to carefully investigate the team behind it and their platform whatever they planning to do with their coins in the future.

I think a memecoin should be based on a good and relevant meme first. I'm not sure the meme has to originate from your team, as long as you're the first to monetize it with a coin (or does copyright actually apply to memes?). Most memes aren't very useful, I think, because a meme must have a very short name and not be short-lived itself. Then, there's a part that you can't affect much, but the secret sauce is an influential supporter like Elon Musk. So it has to resonate somehow with people who have huge audiences and can thus lead to the pumping of the coin.
In any case, I don't partake in the pump-and-dump schemes and don't like meme coins rising up unreasonably. I'm sure many people are like that.

I believe that the secret sauce is "good marketing" not improvised.
Plus the ability to know how to manage social networks to be able to go viral.

But be careful it's not necessarily enough. In the end we take care only for those who have been successful and not those who have not made it.
It is not a trivial thing because many coins have had bad results turning into... scams!

Indeed, capital is important. But from your point of view, having a bear market then pumping it doesn't make the meme coin one of the most widely-accused accusations of price manipulation? Then suddenly dump is a common thing that has dropped a lot of losses for investors?

Is it just because doing a pump makes investors enter at the highest price and take profit? There is no concept of trading or investing if you need to buy at a pump price. Such carelessness will only make other people dislike meme coins even more.

When we are talking about memes, the memes should have spread thoroughly to more users. It's not memes when it's not recognizable by people and people doesn't know shit about that. Take a look at Dogecoin, Dogecoin has known as a meme doge a long time ago and the existence still good until this time, so you have to make the same thing but with different approach at this point. Because if you fail to do that, than it's just another shit meme coins.

Spend several rounds of airdrops so you can attract more people to your project.Just as it was correctly advised to strat a bounty company here, I'm sure it will also interest people.Work in different directions and then maybe you will succeed.

Stay away from making or promoting coins that are pointless.  There are zillions of these and most all of them are useless and going to lose people a lot of money in the long run.  It's irresponsible so my advise would be to stand down from the project.

Airdrops wont help especially if the value of the token is very low. I suggest to OP better to develop a project that have its real purpose in this market and not just because of the hype and we know that meme token is useless in this market so why create another one? Don’y waste your time in meme tokens, not unless you have your own hidden agenda, investors will surely know about this.

Yes! A memecoin with real world utility is our aim! The token can be used in several different fashions within our ecosystem. First, tokens can at any time be donated directly to the charity pool for distribution to community chosen charities. Staking (and LP Tokens) tokens automatically enters holders into weekly prize drawings. Finally tokens can also be used to purchase NFTs in the future.

We also have a few big backers from the tech community including an early bitcoin investor and also the guy who started the napster music sharing platform.

There is nothing wrong with asking for support from social media influencers and celebrities to popularize your meme coin on their social media. Many people are then attracted to meme coins after seeing their uploads on social media. But considering the simple funds that you have, it would be nice if you made an airdrop first using the tokens you have to minimize expenses so that you have a community.

Sounds like you already figured everything out. But here's just one suggestion I'd like to point out, branding.
Don't name your meme token anything similar to the popular meme tokens we already have now like "SHIB", "SAFE", "DOGE","ELON" etc.
Doing so would only make your meme token look like a secondhand, cheap copy of it.
A lot of meme tokens that have those types of names on them are usually frowned upon here on this forum. No one takes them seriously 'cause they are too redundant.
Think of a name that would stand out, a name that is close to your planned utility.
Then market that shit the hell out to grow your community. There are tons of ways to do that. Cheaper ones are via airdrops, bounty campaigns and even just plain giveaways.

Right - our has a unique name too. We just need to figure out the marketing.

Every blockchain network today does have a memecoin of its own today, the blockchain is mainly used to increase the activity in the network making it look as if it's a busy network. FTM does have its own even ADA has its own too just as SHIB for ETH.

A good sauce for a memecoin I guess is if it's promoted widely which a big investor had bought Trillions of it while its price is less than 1 satoshi. or less than 1 Gwei because that's when these people will also shill the memecoin.

Most meme coins don't have a specific function or utility that it performs to the crypto sector, therefore, if the meme coin is still on the development stage, it will be worth while to promote the function the token will offer. This will help to increase its followership and the community of the token. Secondly, having an infuencer as part of the supporters for the coin team will greatly enhance the growth for the community. Emphasis on other qualities of the token will help to boost the community. A dedicated community followership is one of the key requirement that will make the coin successful.                                                                 

No doubt you will need some funds and also a good team member, call a meeting and plan a good marketing strategy, many new coins lack good marketing strategy that's why they failed to rise above others.

Large capital means nothing without the support and FOMO from the community. Remember that meme token will always be going through ico and airdrop. Once ico or airdrop already conducted and it can be seen how many people interested to join in the ico or airdrop that launched by meme token. If this capital was coming from the community and this can be considered as FOMO but remember that i rarely seen a new project without doing any ico started with large of capital. this is not possible of this project have not backed by the major company.


Low liquidity make it possible to happen. Meme token will not sustain for long term. Even if this is become a popular token and there will always be possibility for the rug pull.
It seems like thread starter needs to build the reputation for his token.

I think you can do Giveaways to invite people to spread your project to the public. That is one marketing strategy that might invite many investors to join your project so that your project can be more developed. Maybe you can make a list of promotional strategies that you can do step by step to see how far the progress is.

Any tips and suggestions can successfully attract people's attention, but it depends on how hard you do it and how far you play in the promotion. You can launch Giveaways in this forum to see how much people can be interested in your project. After that, you can do other promotions through Youtube or Twitter or other sites.

Exposure and marketing would be one of the keypoints in creating a successful memecoin, I don't know how successful it would be though but with the right exposure in social media, it'll definitely be successful. Memes are what make these coins superior, and this means that social media will be a very powerful tool to deliver these memes in big platforms like reddit, facebook, etc. you can't just make a memecoin with no substance as this won't go anywhere, it must have substance and meaning to the meme community.

Project investors would be more comfortable with their money if the coins of the project team had a lock for a longer period, for example, a couple of years. Such measures would not allow the team to dump, take liquidity and hide.

Top 3 Secret Ingredients of a Successful Memcoin Blowing the Roof Off Any Crypto Investor:

1. There is no venture money (In the ass venture funds that constantly seek to enrich themselves on ordinary investors)
2. There was no ICO, IDO and all kinds of pre-sales (Issued tokens were sent to liquidity pools for free market purchase)
3. There are no allocations for the team (The team received a complete Zero from the issued tokens and bought them for themselves already on the free market)

4Chan will also be a good social media platform to show your projects. If I'm not mistaken that is the platform which usually started all the meme coin trend.

How about your website though? it could be also attracted so that many are going to invest because of your good UI. You don't need to focus on just one, as the saying good, the more the merrier. So get the word out there using as many social media platform as you can.

I would advise you go for giveways and airdrop, for your memecoin to catch the attention of others, there has to something making the holders increase and people taking about it on social media and immediately that is noticed people will start picking interest in the project. You can as well organized a bounty campaign to get users on the forum promoting your project on social platforms to create some kind if buzz around the project.
Memecoins need marketing and if you do not have that  then your project will not be advertised to more potential investors.

Meme coins can shine because they have the capital to maintain prices, with the capital they turn from investors they will keep prices from dropping, when no investors believe they will sell all the stock they have so the project will die.

Fake hype and influencers promotion works.

This needs to be added with a lot of fake buying from markets to raise the price and create a bubble that the coin in legit while it is actually not. That way idiot newbies will put in their money while you can run away when you wish to giving the spoils among your team only to never be caught by any law enforcement.

Sorry if that hurt, but that I how I perceive things. Have been in the crypto ecosystem for long being a bitcoin maximalist and I hope you guys dont sleep soundly at night after all the money you stole from innocent users while running this shitcoin.

It could happen to meme coins but for an investor I think they prefer to invest their money in top coins because it is more profitable and safe,
after all meme coins are too risky and when the price falls it will be hard to see it rise again

I think I know the problem why. That can be because the network where your meme coin I created is not popular as the network where most meme coins are created. You know networks such as bsc, polygon and eth. Ftm is a good one but I think they are not mature yet like the others and it can take them some time to join the tight competition.

Another thing is that meme coins are not that hyped right now but people are focused too much on the nft and metaverse projects but if possible maybe you can incorporate your meme coins use on both of the two trending technologies. I think I have heard some meme coin before that worked like that.
