Pay to be #1. The leaderboard resets every 90 days
A leaderboard where your bid is your rank. $2 gets you on the board, already listed and you only pay the difference to climb. Resets every 90 days so new brands get a shot at #1, and 25% of revenue goes back into promoting the board.
Hey PH, Dylan here.
This week outbid.lol made around $30k in a day with a brutally simple idea: brands pay to be #1 on a leaderboard, and the site itself is the ad. I loved it, but a few things about the mechanics bugged me, so I built my own version in a day to test some changes.
How it works: pay any whole-dollar amount via Stripe and that's your rank. $2 minimum. If you're already on the board you only pay the difference to climb.
What I changed:
🔁 The Great Reset. The board clears every 90 days. On the original, #1 is already $10k and effectively closed forever. Seasons keep the entry price sane and give everyone a fresh shot.
📣 25% goes back into reach. A quarter of all revenue is spent on marketing the site, so the board keeps getting promoted. You're paying for distribution, so some of the money should buy distribution.
📊 Public click counts. Every listing shows how many clicks it's had, counted server-side, so you can see what you got.
📚 More reasons to come back. The rest of the site is becoming a curated hub of marketing that actually worked, plus a community-voted book club and a weekly newsletter. Every repeat visit is another look at the board.

Would love to hear: is 90 days the right season length? And would you bid $2 just to see what happens?
