Wanted to share something that might help other devs struggling with token launches. After watching my first 3 tokens die within hours on Pump.fun (RIP DogeKiller, MoonRocket, and ShibaInu2.0 lol), I finally figured out what I was doing wrong.
The problem? Zero volume = zero visibility. My tokens were getting buried under 20,000+ daily launches before anyone could even find them.
Here’s what actually worked on my 4th attempt:
Launch timing – Avoided weekends and US nighttime (learned this the hard way)
Community prep – Had 50+ people ready in Telegram BEFORE launch
Volume generation – This was the game changer. Used a volume bot to create initial trading activity
I know some people think volume bots are “cheating” but honestly, it’s just adapting to how Pump.fun works. The platform literally ranks tokens by volume – if you’re not in the top 10, you’re invisible.
Found a bot that generates 100K-2M volume starting from 1 SOL. What I liked: it creates natural-looking trades across multiple DEXs (not just spamming buys) and you can test it free first.
My token hit King of the Hill within 2 hours and graduated to Raydium in 8 hours. Still holding strong at $300K mcap.
Tips if you’re using volume bots:
Don’t go crazy with volume – match it to your mcap
Keep some SOL ready for additional marketing
Have your socials and website ready BEFORE you boost
Engage with traders in the comments (Pump.fun algo loves this)
Not financial advice, just sharing what worked for me. Good luck out there!
Anyone else have Pump.fun launch tips? Always looking to learn.
