Being an undergraduate student at The Ohio State University (OSU) pursuing a degree in psychology is incredibly rewarding and has to be one of the best things I've ever done. Obviously, college is an expensive proposition, and as a student about to graduate and continue to graduate school, I found myself in need of financing. When resources are low, creativity takes over. Everyone values time. That's when I had a ‘Eureka’ moment: If I could get paid for every minute of the day that I work on school responsibilities, I would be able to afford all of the expenses associated with being a full-time student. I think of school as a full-time job, but there is the issue of "how can I get compensated for my job?" If everyone paid a small amount of pocket change, with enough people, school would be paid for. And that was the genesis of the idea of selling minutes of the day!

CompanyOfTheMinute.com is an exciting, new, online retail advertisement space destination designed to match great vendors with top consumers. The idea is simple: CompanyOfTheMinute.com is selling the 1,440 daily minutes for advertisement and e-commerce purposes. The first minute of the day is 00:00. The last one is 23:59. Every minute, the featured company changes based on who owns that minute. Companies are welcome to buy as many minutes as they wish as long as there are some available. When a company buys a minute, they purchase the right to use that minute to advertise and sell an exclusive special deal to visiting customers for an entire year. The available space is 700x500 pixels for each minute. Each advertisement has a click-through link to the retailer’s website to fulfill the purchase of the exclusive special offer that can only be found at CompanyOfTheMinute.com. $1,000 buys you a minute of the day for a one year duration. This is just under $3 per actual minute!!!

Becoming a “Company-of-the-Minute” is as easy as 1-2-3,

1. Simply, determine your exclusive offer
2. Choose your minute(s) during which to advertise
3. “Get A Minute”

Then, sit back and watch your business grow!
