How to make presale successfull ?

[loco_loco00]

UPDATE after thread discussion

• I re-build dapp and website into landing page - https://surfer.lol
• manual presale element added to the dapp as you suggested: 0x6056cB6FEFf856d7fe896910D94FC75e4454aFE8 (accepts BNB, USDT, ETH, WETH, USDC).
• I have a plan B for the launch, and I will soon share it. Maybe other devs would use it, but for now, I am focusing on the work at the presale level. I need to convince a few guys from Bitcointalk, which I really like. I had an account as a regular member here in the past, but I lost the email and can't retrieve the password.
  

How is a proven method besides being a big influencer? To sell out the entire presale?
I built a special dapp, (https://surfer.lol) which is based on a presale contract that I created myself.
But I need promotion and this is the most difficult point. Because my product has a vision and, as I said, technical background.

Telegram ? - All groups are spam. The best are alpha groups, but how to reach them?
Twitter ? I bought premium and I will be sending replies to big accounts and popular threads
Youtube ? I bought an ad, but 1000 views is 8 visits to the site.

Do you have any other methods? How to reach a specific community? to sell about 40 ETH ?
That's only 40 people at 1 ETH each.

I visited your page and I have to be honest, I even have no clue what the "tool" is about. Your home page talks nothing about it except telling someone to connect their wallets or buy some tokens that we don't know what their purpose is

The home page doesn't look good at all, It gives no confidence to a potential customer at all. Do you think people are just about to give you 40 ETH for tokens that have no use case at all?

[sonicverth]

I suggest you to create landing page with useful information about the project

The best (and only) method is to explain what your tool is about, and what you plan to do with the money.

[bittraffic]

You ain't gonna get 40ETH for that shit. They know it is another scam, just ask yourself whether you will buy your own token and if the answer is yes, gotta be high. Just list it in UNI and see for yourself if the volume reaches 0.001ETH you're already lucky to have dumped them the max supply.  Your username speaks for itself.

This website looks suspicious. I do not recommend connecting your wallet to any unknown Dapps.


As to your question:

Be honest, transparent and hard-working.

That is all you need to get people onboard your project. Any kind of marketing strategy only comes AFTER you have established that. I have worked with many projects and I can tell you that no amount of marketing can replace genuineness. Especially when it comes to creating a community that trusts you with their time and their money.

The cryptocurrency community is extremely distrustful because of all the bad projects in the past (and now). You need to prove yourself to be trustworthy by having some sort of MVP (Minimal Viable Product) or something similar to show off (as a way of displaying your hard work). Show people the results of your work and they will see the amount of time that you have put into this project. I see that you have made a dapp but I recommend it should be open source so people can evaluate your code for themselves.

As far as transparency goes, I have no idea what your project is about. Where is your whitepaper? Any explanatory documents? In fact, you seem to have made the entire site look like what appears to be a desperate, hurried and amateurish attempt at selling your tokens without actually explaining what they are for and why they are worth investing into.

And asking people to connect their wallet is already kind of a red flag to me. A lot of people got their wallet's cleaned out by connecting to unknown services.

• Yes I know the feeling about connecting wallet to the dapps. But for me it's more safe than sending funds into unknown address. That's why I created dapp. Also I want build lotteries on it later , and than users can win free tokens as rewards.
• I don't know how to convince people to use dapp - while they can use some empty wallet or some other if they scared....  
• -Also as guys before said I will make gitbook with all the information about the future of the token.
  But to be honest look on $Portal coin or some others they failed because sick tokenomy or bad scalation and even best utility doesn't make sense when You havent community and good tokenomy.
• Today I am gonna buy Twitter premium to be verified, maybe it will help
• Also I will use my own verified Twitter to promote it (for now I only made recognation)
• Thank You guys for Yours voices, maybe You got more ideas for me? Do You think that I should change the dapp into regular landing page? Or combine it to both in one

 Do You think that I should change the dapp into regular landing page? Or combine it to both in one

Too much animation without giving information on what the platform is all about and how it works and what its usability I have a hard time understanding what the platform is all about, because I first visit the site before checking your provided information, if you present it to anyone without proper explanation they will be at a loss on what's the purpose of the site is.

My advice is to make it simple and easy to understand, there is no need for animation as they will annoy the readers, based on my observation yours is another shitcoin in the making.

You didn't listen to our original advice... advertising will not help you right now.

Most times crypto is marketed through influencers, theyre just a pump and dump.

for your presale to be successful, just prove to potential users the value of your "tool."

Thank you the ALL guys for your responses and advice.
You are awesome.
I decided to create a landing page that will link to the presale dapp.
There I will explain my SURFER philosophy, and then I will go back to creating new features in the dapp.
I would like to have people like you in my community.
I would give you $SURFER for free, but I plan to buy it back only after the launch, so I only have a reserve for the liquidity pool.

Why the site sends cookie data to midjourney.com and walletlink.org.
Sending to a third party address is less risky than linking your wallet, as by linking the wallet you can abuse permissions and withdraw all the balance in it. The UI needs to be redesigned, it has a lot of elements that confuse users.

Midjourney is downloading the background and walletlink is getting coinbase wallet logo and dat by WalletConnect connector.

Can you check if my dapp could pose any threat to the wallet, even though there are no sensitive codes stored within it?  I'm concerned that users might not be convinced, and I'm wondering if there's a way for them to verify its security themselves.

I believe as more people use dapps and experience their benefits, trust will grow naturally. However, I'm unsure if skipping a presale like 'Send funds to address: 0x[...]' was the best approach. 

My goal is to combine the popularity of a meme coin with innovative technology and useful features. Ideally, I'd like to do a fair launch with 100% of the tokens in circulation, and for the team to acquire them only through the open market, just like everyone else.

I second that this is another shitcoin developer we've had so many shitcoin in the market and dead coins too, your motivation is just to make money from your presale because your so-called Dapp does not have usage or anything useful for the community.

It's better to ask yourself first why you are creating this token and whether will this become a long-term project, you do not even have a whitepaper and roadmap.

My advice is to don't bother and stop this thing it will not work even if you spend big money marketing your token.

But you are unfair.
Here, everyone in good faith wants to give me advice, without judgment, in the spirit of crypto and freedom.

You have a high rank, so you must have a lot of experience. You must know that ALL cryptocurrencies with a roadmap and whitepaper from people in white collars and VCs are scams. I don't even want to mention them, starting with LUNA or FTX ... YUGA LABS ...
Pauly showed how to do it in the case of PORK, to launch a good cryptocurrency, and earlier PEpe.
Because people create everything and hype... their attachment and loyalty combined with a loyal creator.

I was a diamond hand in several projects and gave myself completely to the community, after which the developers cheated and had coins on the side, or some secret arrangements and businesses to withdraw funds and everything ended in failure.

That's why I'm now creating my own community and I'm going to set it on fire with my ideas and energy + honest tokenomics... if you claim that tokenomics is not important, etc. it means that you don't have any crypto spirit in you.

I wrote a lot and spent my time and FOR FREE... this is another argument for me that I try to create. Because people like you are usually too proud for things like mine. Unless someone with millions in their portfolio would chase it... then all in...

You are very unfair.

Super slow to open, Website front-end sucks and do not explains anything. You need to show them testimonials of previous users and all big things to do. It would take a lot of time, money and hardwork for years to be successful

Thank you for your test and rating. I sped it up a little by turning off the animation of surfers and resizing the images.

As you suggested, I also ran the presale manually, and now users can copy the wallet address in the modal at the start of the dapp.
Then, I will buy SURFER on the dapp manually and send it to the users, as the presale has a locked supply.

I'm not giving up. If I can convince one of you, I will surely convince the audience. Additionally, I'm building a landing page to provide users with more information about SURFER.

Don't sell anything until you have something to sell.

Do you plan to develop your technology with the revenue?

Exactly, I want to create a system where SURFER will generate profits from multiple sources:

    Real lotteries: Users will pay a small amount to purchase tickets, and the winner will be drawn during a live stream.
    Tax fees: I will introduce a 2% fee for buying and selling, with the funds going towards buying back and burning tokens from the decentralized exchange to create a real deflationary process.
    Dapp features: Apart from lotteries, I plan to implement functions that will measure and display hype around specific projects (initially focusing on new projects). These tools will be useful for developers and users within their respective communities. Initially, these features will be free, but as they expand, there may be small subscription fees and fees for teams to list projects. However, these fees will be reasonable and worthwhile for developers.
    Once the community is well-established, I will create an additional token that will function as a typical meme coin with a fixed tokenomics designed to cause the price to skyrocket upon launch, ultimately leading to listing on tier 1 exchanges.

Ok.  Understand that is an extremely risky investment.  If you don't know what you are doing, or if you aren't 100% honest, the return on investment is 0.  There is usually no middle - it's all or nothing.

Are you planning to release more details on the development, like your education?
