Promote your token extensions deep dive across social media

Yesterday you hit publish on a technical deep dive about SPL token extensions. The post is live on dev.to, your byline is on it, and the URL is sitting in your browser history. That is a real artifact. But an artifact nobody sees does not help you. Today you are going to make sure your post gets in front of people. This is an Amplify day. The win is a set of social media posts, in your own voice, that point readers to your work and use the #100DaysOfSolana hashtag so the rest of the cohort can find you.

The Challenge

What you’ll need

• The URL of the dev.to post you published yesterday
• An account on at least one social platform: X or LinkedIn both work well.
• A screenshot of one of your token extension experiments from earlier this week (the mint configuration, the failed transfer attempt, the metadata, anything visual you produced)
• About 30 minutes to write, post, and reply to early comments

Steps

1. Pick your primary platform. Choose the one where developers in your network actually hang out. For most early-career developers that is X or LinkedIn. You can cross-post later, but write the post natively for one platform first.
2. Write the hook. Open with the problem your post solves, not with “I wrote a blog post.” Examples that work:
   • “Most Solana tutorials show you how to mint a token. Almost none explain why TransferFeeConfig exists or when you would actually want it.”
   • “I spent a week building with SPL token extensions. Here is what surprised me.”
   • “Stablecoins, loyalty points, and revocable credentials all live on the same token program. The difference is one extension.”
3. Add the value, then the link. Give two or three concrete things the reader will learn (transfer fees, non-transferable tokens, permanent delegates, whichever you covered). Then drop the dev.to URL on its own line so it is easy to click.
4. Attach a visual. A wall of text scrolls past. A screenshot of your code, your minted token in Solana Explorer, or a diagram from your post will stop the scroll. Use the screenshot you grabbed in step zero.
5. Tag the hashtag and the ecosystem. Always include #100DaysOfSolana. Optionally tag @solana, @solana_devs, and @MLHacks on X, or their equivalents on LinkedIn. Do not stuff a dozen hashtags at the bottom; one or two relevant ones outperforms a hashtag soup.
6. Cross-post with light edits. Once your primary post is up, adapt it for a second platform. LinkedIn rewards slightly longer posts with a clear takeaway in the first line; X rewards punchy openings and threading. Do not just paste the same text twice.
7. Reply to anyone who engages. If someone comments, asks a question, or reposts you in the first hour, write back. Algorithmic distribution on every major platform rewards early conversation, and the people who show up first are usually the most likely to follow you.
