From 0 to 10K clicks: How Maya did it
Maya grew her audience and income on uBid. Here's her story.
Six months ago, Maya's board had a single placement and zero bids. Today it routinely clears 10,000 clicks a month, with three advertisers competing for her top spot. Here's what actually changed.
Starting from nothing
"I set my board up in a weekend and basically forgot about it," Maya says. "I didn't put the link anywhere obvious, so of course nothing happened. The board isn't the hard part — getting people to it is."
The first real change: distribution, not design
Maya's first breakthrough wasn't a redesign — it was moving her link from a buried bio line to the first thing mentioned in every video description, plus a pinned post refreshed every week.
Pro tip: The link doesn't need to be clever. It needs to be seen.
Pricing her first placement honestly
"I priced my first spot at what I'd have paid, not what I hoped to get," Maya explains. That honest starting price attracted her first bid within a week — and once one brand was in, a second one followed to compete for it.
Once a brand can see someone else already bid, the decision gets a lot easier for them.
What actually moved the number
- Pinning her uBid link across every platform, not just one
- Mentioning the board directly in content instead of only linking it
- Sharing weekly screenshots of her board's activity
- Rotating her top placement so it never looked static
Where she is now
Maya's board now earns more per month than her first three sponsorships combined — and she spends less time chasing brands, since advertisers now come to her board directly to bid.
