Your Plan · Part 2

Your Launch Checklist

Your budget, platform, and an action-by-action checklist personalized to $10 CAD and $ILM. This is Lesson 4 and Lesson 6's checklist, filled in with your actual numbers.

Your Budget: $10 CAD

Your Budget in USD
~$7.15 – $7.20
$10 CAD at today's exchange rate
Gas to Launch on Pump.fun
~$2 USD
Paid once, at creation
Your Remaining Buffer
~$5 USD
Optional: a small self-buy, or just leave it unspent
You have no promotion budget, and that's fine. At $10 CAD, this stays exactly what Lesson 5 described: a low-cost, low-stakes experiment relying on organic sharing through channels you already have, not paid reach. Don't feel pressure to spend the buffer; unspent is a perfectly good outcome.

Your Platform: Pump.fun

With zero promotion budget, the platform with the biggest organic crowd browsing new coins gives you the best odds of any organic discovery at all. That's Pump.fun (see Lesson 2 for the full comparison).

Setting Up Your Wallet

1
Install Phantom

Free browser extension or phone app. Set it up and save your recovery phrase offline, on paper, somewhere safe.

2
Convert your $10 CAD to SOL

Use a mainstream exchange that accepts Canadian dollars, buy roughly $6-7 USD worth of SOL, and send it to your new Phantom wallet address. This comfortably covers the ~$2 gas fee with buffer to spare.

Your Final Checklist

Do these in order
  • Read Your Story & Commitment and adjust the wording so it sounds like you.
  • Install Phantom and fund it with SOL converted from your $10 CAD.
  • Post your public commitment (from the previous page) on your existing channels, under your real identity, before creating the coin.
  • Go to Pump.fun, connect your wallet, and create $ILM using the name, symbol, and story from the previous page.
  • Double-check the creator-fee wallet address before confirming: this is permanent.
  • Share the link honestly, without promising anyone a financial return.
  • Watch the first 48 hours; don't panic-buy your own coin.
  • If it earns fees, log them for taxes and start planning your first free webinar.
That's the whole plan. Total required spend: about $2 USD. Everything else on this page is context, not cost. Whenever you're ready, Lesson 4 has the same steps in full detail if you want a refresher before you launch.
