Volunteer State Mini Donuts

Seven flavors. Made to order. Usually sold out before the afternoon is over. Thousands of people follow the Facebook page — they still had to guess where the truck would be parked. Now they don't.

The storyVisit them →volunteerstate.webguydisguise.com

Never asked for it. Owes nothing. If he doesn't want it, it's gone today. No questions. No hard feelings.

How this works

01

No pitch

I don't sell you anything. I don't follow up. I don't slide into your messages. If you never contact me, you never hear from me again.

02

No catch

The site is free and it stays free. Want it taken down? Say the word and it's gone the same day, no charge, no questions.

03

No name

You'll probably never find out who did this. That part isn't the point. The point is that you make something good and nobody could find you.

Currently lurking

He'll be somewhere in this crowd.

Nobody gets told beforehand. If you're selling something good at one of these and your website is a Facebook page, keep an eye on your notifications.

  • Streets of Indian Lake Farmers Market

    Hendersonville, TN

    Saturday morning, 8–1

Meanwhile, elsewhere in town

They'd been selling out every Saturday for two years.

Nobody could find them on a Tuesday.

Nine thousand followers. One phone number in a bio.

No address, no hours, no way to order after closing.

Best in town, according to twenty-eight reviews.

Page four of Google, behind three places that closed.

Every fix gets posted. Nobody gets asked first.

You pick the target

Who's getting the next one?

Not a specific business — a kind of one. Vote for what I go hunting for next, and I'll find somebody worth it.

Votes point me somewhere. They don't decide it — I still do the homework and pick. Anything that doesn't win rolls into the next round.

The bankroll

Every hero needs a Wayne.

Nobody who gets one of these pays for it, and nobody ever will. But the domains, the hosting and the days don't come from nowhere — so if you want to be the reason somebody's bakery turns up on Google next month, this is how.

A domain

About $10 a year, each

Hosting

Small per site, forever, and it adds up

A day

Finding somebody, doing the homework, building it

Fund the next one

No tiers, no perks, no name on a wall. It goes straight into building the next one for somebody who'd never have asked.

Know somebody who makes something goodbut has nowhere to send people?

You can't nominate yourself — that's not how this works. Rather do it in the DMs? Find me at @webguydisguise.
