Overview

<p><b>Startup description</b></p><p>I started it when the outbidding trend was booming, and I let people bid for a billboard that showed your OG image, but my idea didn't work. Then Minimax H3 Max launched, and I didn't waste a second shipping it on my app. So I changed the concept to create your ad within 10 seconds, and we show it live on a billboard till someone outbids you.</p><p><b>Key highlights:<b></b></b></p><ul> <li>$120+ revenue</li> </ul> <ul> <li>1,200+ visitors</li> </ul> <ul> <li>410+ link clicks</li> </ul> <ul> <li>8 AI-generated ads</li> </ul> <ul> <li>&nbsp;~34% visitor-to-click rate</li> </ul> <ul> <li>&nbsp;~$15 average revenue per ad</li> </ul> <ul> <li>~10-second ad generation</li> </ul> <ul> <li>AI-powered commercial generation with MiniMax H3 Max</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Live bidding / outbidding model</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Ads remain live until outbid</li> </ul> <p><b>Team</b></p><p>Solo Founder &amp; Full-Stack Developer.</p><p>Built and managed the platform end-to-end, including product development, AI ad generation, payments, infrastructure, and growth/marketing.</p><p><b>Tech Stack</b></p><p>Next.js, TypeScript, React, Tailwind CSS, Supabase, Vercel, and MiniMax H3 Max.</p><ul> <li>Next.js/React/TypeScript for the application</li> <li>Supabase for backend/database functionality&nbsp;</li> <li>Vercel for deployment</li> <li>MiniMax H3 Max for automatically generating commercials from submitted websites.</li> </ul> <p><b>Marketing and growth</b></p><p>Launch posts, product updates, and real-time sales/traction updates generated 23K+ impressions, driving 1,200+ visitors and 410+ link clicks.</p><p>Users have discovered and purchased billboard spots organically through X, with no paid advertising.</p><p><b>Revenue and profit</b></p><p>$120+ in revenue from 8 paid ad spots.</p><p>The entire product was launched with less than $10 in total costs, primarily covering MiniMax H3 Max credits and the domain.</p><p>The business is already profitable from day one, with substantial room to scale as traffic and ad placements increase.</p><p><b>Return on investment</b></p><p>We spent less than $10 on the initial launch and infrastructure, and generated $120+ in revenue.</p><p>That's 12×+ revenue on the initial spend, or 1,100%+ return relative to the amount spent.</p><p>The product is already monetizing with minimal upfront costs, with significant room to scale through increased traffic, billboard takeovers, and AI-generated ads.</p><p><b>Startup assets<b></b></b></p><ul> <li>Live production website</li> </ul> <ul> <li>AI commercial generation system powered by MiniMax H3 Max</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Automated payment → ad generation → billboard publishing workflow</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Real-time bidding and outbidding system</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Dynamic billboard/leaderboard interface with live pricing and ad placements</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Backend, database, and deployment infrastructure</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Full source code and technical infrastructure</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Domain name and complete product branding</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Ready-to-operate product that can be continued, modified, and scaled by the buyer</li> </ul> <p><b>Risks</b></p><ul> <li>Early-stage traction: The product is still very new, so current revenue and traffic may not be sustained.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>AI generation costs: Scaling ad generation increases API costs, which needs to be managed carefully.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Traffic dependency: Growth currently relies heavily on organic social distribution.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Competitive market: Similar leaderboard/outbidding concepts can be replicated.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>User demand: Long-term success depends on consistently attracting brands willing to pay for billboard placement.</li> </ul> <p><b>Summary</b></p><p>My platform turns advertising into a game.</p><p>Brands can submit their website, pay to claim the billboard, and have an AI-generated commercial created for them automatically.

Expenses

$10 for domain, Fal.ai / MiniMax H3 Max: ~$8 so far(~$1 per generated ad).

Business Model

Pay-to-bid advertising marketplace. Users pay to claim the top billboard spot, receive an AI-generated commercial, and keep the placement live until another user outbids them. Starting bids are low, creating a competitive bidding loop.

Target Audience

Indie hackers, SaaS founders, startups, developers, and creators looking for an affordable and attention-grabbing way to promote their products.

Asking Price Reasoning

$3,000 reflects the value of a fully built, live, and revenue-generating product with validated demand, AI-powered commercial generation, automated payments, and real-time bidding. The business has already generated $120+ in revenue with minimal expenses.

Reason for Selling

I am not good with marketing and someone with good marketing skills can grow it so well. I am limited with my bandwidth to grow it to its potential.

Growth Opportunity

Grow through X/Twitter and indie-hacker communities, expand the billboard into multiple categories/markets, increase competition through more traffic, and automate AI ad generation so every purchase can instantly produce and publish a commercial.

30 days free support from seller

Competitors

Outbid.lol, TopFloor.Company, FirstBid.lol, and SaaS leaderboard/ad marketplace products. My platform differentiates itself by combining competitive bidding with AI-generated video commercials rather than static listings alone.

Tech Stack

TailwindCSS, Next.js, React, Supabase, Vercel, Gemini API.
