How to publish one page that can actually take money, today
Mission III of the First Dollar campaign. One page, one price, one button that moves real money.
Every campaign starts at Mission I, which is playable at the bottom of this page.
What counts as proof
- A public URL anybody can open
- One price, in digits, on the first screen
- A button that starts a real payment
What does not
- A mockup, a screenshot or a design file
- “Coming soon” and an email field
- A page with no price on it
The usual route
How players pass this one.
The game master does not grade the route. It grades what you come back with.
- 01
One page, one price, one button
A hosted payment link and three paragraphs will do. A site builder is not required.
- 02
Write the headline in their words
Use the sentence the strangers in Mission II replied to. They already told you what lands.
- 03
Put the price in digits
Near the button, with no “from” in front of it and no second option beside it.
- 04
Pay yourself once, then refund it
A button nobody has pressed is not a button. Test it, then send yourself the money back.
- 05
Buy nothing else
No domain, no logo, no theme, no company. None of them has ever taken money.
The usual failures
Proof that got rejected, and why.
Written by the game master from its own rules, not yet by players.
Proof
RejectedHere is my Notion page describing the service.
No price and no way to pay. That is a description, not a page that takes money.
Add one price and one payment button, then send the link again. Resubmit.
Proof
Rejectedfigma.com/file/… — the design is finished.
A mockup is a drawing of a page. Nothing on a drawing can be paid.
Publish anything public with a working payment button. Ugly is allowed. Resubmit.
Proof
RejectedThe site is live, I am still deciding the price.
A page without a price cannot take money, and deciding is not part of this mission.
Pick the price you quoted the strangers, put it on the page. Resubmit.
Proof
RejectedWaitlist is up and 6 people have signed up already.
An email field is not a checkout. You collected interest, which you already had.
Replace the email field with a price and a payment button. Resubmit.
Proof
RejectedIt is live but the checkout is in test mode.
Test mode cannot receive money from a stranger, so the page cannot pass this mission.
Switch the key to live, pay yourself €1, refund it, send the link. Resubmit.
What accepted looks like
AcceptedA one-page site, €40 in the headline, a live Stripe button. Paid myself €1 and refunded it.
Public, priced, and the button moves real money. That is a page.
Act I is on your record. Act II is the money, and it is the only part that costs anything.

Start at Mission I. It takes six minutes.
One sentence, a real stamp, no account. Nothing here is simulated.
Mission · Act II
Declare The Target
One sentence: what you sell, who pays you, how much.
ProofThe sentence.
Three verdicts per mission per day. No account, no card.
What counts as proof
- One sentence, in your own words
- A price with a number in it
- A payer you could go and find this week
What does not
- A market, a category or a niche
- “Affordable”, “premium”, “to be decided”
- Anything you would put in a pitch deck
Most sentences are rejected the first time. That is the game working, not you failing.
