Hello and welcome everyone! πŸ‘‹ I built 24HourHomepage.com as a fun way to grow as an "internet introvert". And what a fun journey it's been! I've met all types of digital creators, entrepreneurs and artists online who either LOVE or don't understand the project. The beauty of the internet. πŸ’™ ⏰ A recap of how it works: - When you visit the site, you'll see one image per second for the corresponding second of the day. In UTC time! - You can add any family-friendly image and link to whatever site you want - You'll see the same content if you return in: - 24 hours - 48 hours - or 10 years at that same second of the day - It'll be hosted forever 🎁 A special offer for Product Hunt (offer expired) - I will give 1-free second to anyone who says something positive publicly about 24HourHomepage.com - If you say something really nice, you might get more free time. - Offer expires after 08/01/2021 πŸ’Έ Limited Time Offer: - If you register as an affiliate, you can get *90% commission* on any sales made on your referral. - It takes less than 10 seconds to register: https://affiliates.24hourhomepag... Thank you for your attention and I hope you...seize the day! ;) Justin PS Here is a short talk I gave about the origins and growth experiments I've done for this project:
And every week I update http://higgins.medium.com/ with more of my experimental learnings ✌️

@ugur2nd I hear you're a famous product reviewer! What do you mean by an example "on entrepreneurship-related issues"?
Ugur KILCI 😈
@mdorsett Example: "You don't need thousands of money to make a startup. You need to consider creativity. For example, http://www.milliondollarhomepage... If I sell a pixel for $1 I earn 1 million pixels $1 million. Simple and impressive. Or 24HourHomepage, Show 1 ad in 1 second. Simple and impressive. I have a sentence I said on this subject: 'You don't need to rocket to change the world. Even a needle can change the world.' - Uğur KILCI. "

This is an interesting experiment. But if I may ask - what is the point here, exactly? What need does this project meet or answer? Is it just self-promotion to the highest bidder? Do you have some kind of distribution between commercial and non-commercial submissions?
Justin Higgins
Maker
@hxii Thanks for checking out the project and for the great questions, Paul! The point is to create a fun piece of internet art that can be enjoyed for decades. Much of what we ship as developers comes and goes, so I wanted to make something I could maintain for decades. I also embed that promise in my sales offering. But it's not just art for art's sake, via the URL they link to every contributor gets to promote whatever they want. Some say its a 24-hour advertisement, I say it's more like a 24-hour movie. As for commercial vs non-commercial submissions, I don't restrict content submitted unless it fails to our "family-friendly" content guidelines. Both indie bloggers and big businesses are welcome! I hope that helps!
Miriam Dorsett

@hxii I talked with Justin about some of his motivations for creating this on my YouTube today. I was inspired by his goals to improve his sales and marketing skills from building this. It may not be solving the climate crisis, but the skills that he builds creating 24hourhomepage will translate to any future things he works on. Awesome mindset to have as a maker imo.

Hey Justin, Congrats on the Launch!! This is a great product, really like the idea of owning time for promoting other's products. Curious to know how you're planning on scaling it?
Justin Higgins
Maker
@sagar_devkate (sorry for the delay here, this one slipped through the cracks!) Great question Sagar! Re: scaling, I'm running marketing experiments every week. Have been for the last 5 months. All in public and all of various sizes / learnings. My promise to everyone who joins is that I won't stop trying to grow it until the site is filled. If that takes 10 years, that's fine. I do plan on doing more press outreach once certain content milestones are hit (eg: 1 hour of the day has published content). Various incentives to influencer content creators too. I'm glad you like the product and thanks for sharing the question! πŸ™‡β€β™‚οΈ

Hey product hunt fam! Justin and I met through @anthonycastrio and his 100 day challenge in the Indie Worldwide community. When I found out what he was working on and why I was hooked. Justin didn't mention it above but one of the reasons he is working on this is to get better at sales and marketing. This project forces him to practice those skills. As makers we always end up learning from what we build but during the time we are creating it can be incredibly stressful. I think having the mindset of "I'm building this to learn" can make the process fun and remove some of the pressure. I'm excited to see how this latest marketing experiment of giving away over $20k works, and watching the different seconds of the day trickle in and what people put up. Thank you for taking time to leave Justin feedback he is incredibly open to your comments! Have a great day!

Ignacio Carmona
can you add a auto-detect time zone?
Justin Higgins
Maker
@igncarmona Great question Ignacio! It's all in UTC to try to avoid "hotspots" in the times people choose early on. Once the site reaches a percentage of content published I will unlock some more features like "rewind" "pause" "change timezone". How does that sound? Thanks for checking it out!
