have you made any in the past? or do you have some potential hunches on how to do them?

have you made any in the past? or do you have some potential hunches on how to do them?
- sharps_xp 4y agoi haven’t, was going to start trying to make some attempts this year, static sites like istheshipstillstuck and howmuchtoiletpaper. also i don’t know how to answer the monetization question for new sites that pick up traffic quickly
- ilrwbwrkhv 4y agomonetization comes later. the initial viral nature has to be converted into retention. what i am looking for is less of istheshipstillstuck and more of gas app type growth. if that makes sense.
- sharps_xp 4y agoI think gas app type growth was cool, but I cannot imagine being on that hamster wheel long term. the goal would to have an exit at the peak and not be like snapchat. that said, I do admire blue chip sites that go viral simply b/c it feeds a global demand very simply (ie., sudoku.com); if wordle didn't sell, they could've easily surpassed their purchase price in a few months.
- ilrwbwrkhv 4y agoThey did sell to discord and Facebook before that. The point is to sell but reach at least a few million users fast but those users come back and spend some time on the app. Otherwise it is not monetizable.
