Hey everyone, Parth here.

RuleTheWorld is a leaderboard of companies where the ranking is not an algorithm and not a secret. It is the amount paid, printed in public next to every listing.

There are 236 countries on the board and one company holds each one. A country nobody has taken starts at $5. You can take any spot by paying a dollar more than whoever is sitting there. Your logo, name and link go up, people click through, and the board shows exactly how many clicks you got.

Then someone takes it from you. That is the design, not a flaw. When they do, you earn a commission on that sale, and on every sale of that territory after it. The rate is on the How it works page.

I have spent years in outbound and lead gen, and every paid directory I bought into hid the mechanics. You never knew what the company above you paid, or why they were above you. So I built one where the price is the ranking and both are on the page.

Two honest notes, because I would rather say them than get asked:

This only pays if territories keep changing hands. If nobody takes your country, you keep the spot, the link and the clicks, and you earn nothing beyond that. Anyone buying only for the payout is buying for the wrong reason.

The numbers are small and real. Nine of 236 territories taken, $65 moved through the board so far. I would rather show you the live board than a mockup.

Two things I would like your read on. Does the commission rule make sense the first time you hear it? And if you took a country today, which one, and why that one?

I am here all day.

RuleTheWorld - Buy a country for $5. Get paid when someone takes it.
