01

Choose

Pick one useful thing you can finish enough to demonstrate today.

Make the smallest working version and put it in front of another person.

03

Sell

Ask a real stranger to pay at least one dollar for the value you created.

Participant projects, photographs and final counts have not been published. This record deliberately contains only the confirmed date, place, format and rules.

Why the constraint exists

Most people never make their first dollar online.

Anyone can ship now. The hard part is picking what. Three hours means you have to pick something and start.

Proof of payment

What counts as a sale.

Counts

  • A stranger pays for something you made.
  • They have a clear reason to buy it.
  • Money reaches your account.

Does not count

  • Paying yourself.
  • A donation.
  • A mate doing you a favour.
  • Interest without payment.

Sale = real money, real person, proof it happened.

Anything that takes payment counts: a tool, a guide, a service, or a piece of advice. You keep the dollar. Craftship takes no equity, no cut, and no IP.

The day
