This is one’s a little different.. a bit more fun and light!
In case you missed it.. something crazy is happening on X right now.. I dont know if you know this.. but you must check it out..
Jonathan built a random bidding website 3 days ago and launched it on X..
No product, No service, No real offer
Just bid to stay on top of the website..
it started with $5, kept growing… and now, as of me writing, the top bid is at $15K+..
by the time you check it might have increased..
Jonathan has made $177K in 78 hours so far.. which is so so so mind bending 😱
Quick word from Belay before we dive in -
Learn How to Stay Visible in the AI Era
AI is changing how customers discover businesses. If your SEO strategy is built for yesterday's search, your visibility is already slipping. Learn how to optimize your content for today’s AI search results with BELAY’s latest report..
There are 100+ clones built after Jonathan’s success.. ofcourse!
I built my own as well 😆 - billbored.lol
Its great fun to ride trends like this..
Now, getting back to Outbid..
There’s no big framework or case study we can extract out of this crazy story..
You can’t replicate it.. most of the copycats will also fail in fact..
What’s worth knowing is that Jonathan has been building in public on X for many years now.. he has a real product with real customers that makes real revenue..
This was just a fun side project he built and launched on a whim..
The only lessons we should draw from this story are -
Keep showing up, building, launching, testing things..
Keep building fun side projects just to explore your own curiosity..
And ofcourse.. put more buy buttons on the internet ✊
You dont know which one might blow up when!
Do follow Jonathan on X, and check out his platform - outbid.lol
And if you can’t afford a $15K bid, you can place a $10 bid on billbored.lol 😉
That’s it for today.
See you next week
Ayush 🙏(building Voibe)
PS: Go here for a good laugh 😆
