Hey Product Hunt! My name is Rina Ijeoma Okafor, maker of Localhy, a local community platform where anyone can earn by sharing local business ideas, referring paying customers to local businesses, or selling helpful business starter tools and services. Why did I build this? Every day, people ask, “What business should I start?”, "What niche should I go into?" while walking past untapped opportunities in their communities. And others see those gaps but have no way to share or profit from them. That’s why we created the Ideas Vault and just like Medium, but for local business ideas you can monetize when others read or act on them. At the same time, small businesses are stuck spending $$$ on ads that barely convert. Meanwhile, real people in the community: friends, family, neighbors: could easily bring them new customers, if they just got rewarded. What makes Localhy different? We combine the energy of Medium, Fiverr, and Nextdoor into one platform where: * Ideas Vault: You earn when someone reads your local business idea or opportunity. * Referral Jobs: Local businesses post referral jobs, not vague ads. You get paid for results, not clicks. * Starter Tools Marketplace: Sell or discover pitch decks, business plans, brand kits, business startup services and tools that help you launch and grow faster. * Community & Newsfeed: Stay inspired through a local feed of ideas, referrals, posts, events, and groups centered around your city or niche. * Everything is monetized: Every action is tied to real, trackable rewards through credits, not just likes or vanity metrics. We’re live with our MVP (Beta 1.0) and it’s just the beginning. We are proud of building this working platform from scratch in a few weeks through the participation in bolt.new AI Hackathon project, and now we are seeking our first users and early local business partners. We 're inviting our first 1,000 users to help shape the future of grassroots marketing and monetized local content plus lots of Free business ad credits to early supporters. We would love your feedback, support, and questions and if you’re wondering: "What local idea have you spotted that someone else could build on? Check it out and let me know: what would you post on Localhy?
