BRANDS:
/brands - listing all brands that bought sticker spots
Every brand who bought a sticker spot now has a dedicated, editable page too + backlink
/campaign - a brand hands over a brief to reach several laptops at once
"Add my brand" as a door in the hero, beside "List my laptop"
Paid links carry rel="sponsored", and a sold spot now links to the brand that took it
BUYING:
Several spots on one lid in a single payment, ticked on the lid itself
What happens when a funded lid falls short, said plainly
Dollars by default everywhere, with one toggle that means one thing across the site
THE BOARD:
Four dropdowns: seen at, ownership, who the seller is, and the sort
Sorts: most raised, most followers, ending soon, most viewed
Seller audience (developer, founder, creator ) asked for and filterable
Follower counts on every card
Latest activity moved into the hero, five cards to a row
Counts fixed: only lids that are actually selling
15" lids, and a three-month sticker window
THE SELLER:
An embeddable badge that updates itself - HTML, Markdown, image URL
A dashboard that works before anything is published
Unlink a Stripe account connected by mistake
Extend a sale without refunding anybody
Add social media accounts (other than X)
The seller sees logos that were actually paid for and approved only
SPONSORS:
Rails on every page that sells something
All 12 slots visible on every screen
THE SITE:
A weekly marketplace digest
Real per-lid view counts, backfilled from DataFast
SEO stuff
Much better performances

Missed an opportunity to brand this OnlyLids.

@chrismessina good one lol, but it might not be lids only for long

I buy small ad placements and the ones I cannot measure never get renewed. How does a sponsor know anyone actually saw the sticker?

@yelyzaveta_kibets Depends on the seller: what they do, where they go, what they post.
Online it's trackable: the sticker is visible in their photos and videos, and your logo links out from the listing. IRL, nobody can count who walks past a lid and goes to Google you, I won't pretend otherwise (unless your sticker carries a QR code, which is something I'm considering to gather all sponsors)
Interesting idea, but how do you ensure the seller is being honest? Can you filter by country or lifestyle (for example, advertising to someone who mostly stays at home wouldn’t be effective)? Anyway, there are a lot of questions, but overall I like the idea.

@natalia_iankovych Thanks! Sellers connect their own Stripe accounts and have to respect the conditions of the deals otherwise they have to refund the brands.
