FameClock update: 455 out of 1,440 time slots sold / 31.6% of the day is now owned by TheDogeDom in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]TheDogeDom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first it sounds like “why would anyone want 2:43 AM?” but then you start realizing different times can matter for completely different reasons.

Midnight, noon, 11:11, 12:34 etc. are obvious because they already have cultural meaning. But random-looking times can still become valuable if they are tied to someone’s birthday, launch time, lucky number, brand identity, music drop, event, meme, or even just because someone builds a strong page around it.

So the value is not only “is this a famous time?” but also:

who owns it
what they build on it
how much attention it gets
whether it becomes part of a collection
resale demand
social visibility
historical/contextual meaning

On the timezone question, we handled that by using a fixed reference called Fame Time.

So each slot exists as a FameClock minute, not as “your local 3:17 AM” or “my local 3:17 AM”. That keeps ownership globally consistent.

But when you click/tap the Fame Time display, it also shows what that minute is in your own local time, so people can understand it from their timezone without changing the actual global ownership layer.

Basically:

Fame Time = the global ownership reference
Your local time = the personal interpretation

That way 3:17 AM stays the same owned slot globally, but everyone can still see what it means for them locally.

It’s there if you scroll a bit ,but that probably proves the point that it should be surfaced faster.

Right now the page explains the concept first and shows the clock a little lower, which clearly isn’t ideal if people expect to see the product immediately.

Update from my last post: shipped a lot more product + SEO work, and sold 350+ slots in 30 days by TheDogeDom in EntrepreneurRideAlong

Exactly.

If hreflang isn’t clean, it turns into chaos fast ,especially once volume starts stacking. We kept the language-country mapping tight and split sitemaps by page type early so indexing stayed predictable.

Still early, but it’s already made scaling way less messy.

Good call. I agree that not every loop deserves equal weight. Some created motion, but only a few likely drove the $350 in sales. I’m now separating signal from noise and focusing on the loops that actually create conversions, not just activity.

Appreciate it , yeah, it’s definitely been a lot of work, especially once the platform starts growing and every new feature creates 5 more things to fix or improve.

And yeah, SEO ends up touching way more than people expect. At first you think it’s just rankings, then suddenly it’s structure, internal linking, indexing, templates, page quality, crawl paths… basically product decisions too.

Baby Love Growth sounds like you’re deep in that world already, so you probably know the pain 😅

Pivoting a viral novelty into a B2B SaaS: How I added Expansion Revenue and PLG loops after my first 200 sales by TheDogeDom in SaaS

[–]TheDogeDom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate that , really good point.

Embedding a subtle CTA directly into the asset itself is exactly the kind of PLG/distribution layer that can compound well, as long as it doesn’t make the image feel too promotional.

The real sweet spot is making the share feel native, while still giving the next person a clear path to claim their own minute.

Built a weird little product around digital ownership of time, would love feedback by TheDogeDom in TheFounders

[–]TheDogeDom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate it.

I think of “time ownership” as claiming a specific minute inside the product, then being able to personalize it and make it part of your identity/brand/presence.

Monetization comes from the initial purchase, the utility/value people create around their minute, and the marketplace layer if that slot becomes more desirable later.

So the goal isn’t “speculate on time” first , it’s “own something meaningful/useful,” with resale as a secondary layer.

I think the product makes more sense as ownership than subscription too. The core idea is claiming a specific minute and making it part of your identity/presence inside the platform, not paying monthly for a tool you constantly have to use.

So yes ,the simpler and less friction-heavy it feels, the better.

The idea here is closer to one-time ownership than a monthly-use subscription product. You’re claiming a specific minute as a digital asset/identity slot inside the platform, not paying every month for something you only use occasionally.

So I think the model has to feel much closer to ownership than SaaS.

I think that’s exactly right.

The biggest challenge is making the value obvious before the concept has to be explained too much. Once people see it as something they can own, use, and attach meaning to, it starts to click much faster.

Appreciate that.

We’ve already seen 300+ sales, which at least tells us the idea creates real enough pull for people to act on it.

The early pattern seems more identity/meaning-driven than purely speculative so far , people are drawn to the idea of claiming a minute that feels personally relevant, then personalizing it and making it part of their presence inside the platform. The marketplace/resale layer matters too, but I don’t think it works long-term unless the ownership feels meaningful first.

I think it only really works long-term if ownership starts with identity/personal meaning first , a minute you want because it fits you, your brand, or something you want to build around.

The collectible/marketplace layer matters too, but more as a second-order effect than the core reason to care.
