Rules

Short, because the idea is simple: rank is dollars. Pay them, or earn them.

Ranking

Your position is decided by one number: paid dollars + earned dollars. Highest number is #1. Equal numbers: the older listing ranks higher.
Every category has its own #1 as well as the overall board.
Anyone can outrank anyone at any time. Nothing is reserved, nothing is refunded.

New paid spots start at $5; whole US dollars, $1 steps, $999,999 max.
Taking a rank means paying at least $1 more than the listing holding it.
Already listed? Submit the same URL or handle with a higher total — you only pay the difference.
Payments are one-off, via Stripe, and non-refundable. You are buying a ranked listing that can be outranked, not a fixed position.

Every listing — paid or free — gets a hustle link (outhustle.lol/h/your-slug).
Each unique human visitor who arrives through it and stays a few seconds adds $0.25 of rank to your listing.
One credit per visitor per day, up to $20 per listing per day (UTC). Earned dollars are shown separately from paid dollars, always.
Earned rank is rank only. It is never money, never paid out, never refundable.
Bots, click farms and self-refresh loops don't count. We can void credit that doesn't look human and remove listings that try.

Product websites and X handles.
Not allowed: chat and invite links (Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal and the like), adult content, link shorteners, affiliate/tracking URLs (query parameters are stripped), anything illegal or deceptive.
Clicks go to the URL you listed, with utm_source=outhustle added, marked rel="sponsored".
We can remove any listing at any time. If a removed listing was paid, the money is not refunded.

If you give us an email, we tell you when you get outranked from the top 10 (or from #1 in your category), with a one-click reclaim link. At most one alert per hour.
