Piq.My - Turn Your Profile Picture into a Billboard

This was actually a just-for-fun idea that ended up being a serious experimental project for me.
The core of the idea is to see if this is something that has any tangible market and business value. The original target customers for this would be someone that has online persona (Linkedin profile, Twitter account, etc) and has published/released something and wants to spread the word around for free. You can see this clearly from the first step of the hero section form:
You will find in a lot of socials that they restrict the number of links you can put/promote, or even worse, penalize your post if it has any outbound link (which Linkedin does). That is how I got the idea to try if this is something that people want to use.
Having published this project online for a few months, I'd say it's safe to say that it is not something that the market either needs or wants.
