Alex MacGregor announced that Social Bid (socialbid.co), a marketplace where brands bid to sponsor X users, has passed $103 in total sponsorships.
How it works:
- Users connect their X profile; brands compete to sponsor them; creators keep 80%.
- Rankings are by actual successful sponsorship payments, with no weighting or boosting.
- Top listings: Alex Kay at $17 (sponsored by Known), MacGregor at $22, Yogesh at $10; unsponsored accounts start at $10.
A small but validated indie monetization play: profile value discovery + brand bidding on X.
