Hey Product Hunt š
I kept running into the same thing: if you own a site with an
audience, the only real way to make money from it is ads ā which
means handing over your layout, your page speed, and your
readers' attention to someone else's script.
Meanwhile there's been a wave of pay-to-rank boards, and they've
proven people will happily pay real money to sit at the top of
something. But all of that money goes to whoever owns the board.
The sites with the actual audience get none of it.
FameSpot flips that. You add one badge to the site you already
run and get your own page at fame.yoursite.com. Advertisers pay
to be the Fame Holder there, each one has to beat what the last
person paid, and you keep 50% of every takeover.
No ad slots, no layout changes, no tracking scripts on your
pages. One subdomain, one badge, about ten minutes.
I'm building it solo and it's early. Two things I'd genuinely
like your take on:
ā Publishers: is 50% the right split, or does it need to be
higher to be worth giving up the spot?
ā Advertisers: is a single visible price better than bidding
with a cap?
And if you want to try it, drop your domain below and I'll set
the page up for you today.
