I know you're tired of marketing, so I built this

Let’s be completely honest with each other for a second:

Building a product is the easy part. Marketing it feels so tiring and boring.

You spend 3 weeks coding your project. The UI looks crisp, the APIs are snappy, and the database schema is art. You finally push to production, take a deep breath but the main part is just started...

Why Current Marketing Options Suck for Indie Devs:

Google & Meta Ads: You need a $1,000 budget just to test keywords.
Directories & Sponsorships: Most directories charge $50–$200/month recurring subscriptions for a tiny link nobody clicks.
Social Media: You’re forced to dance for the algorithm, tweeting into the void 15 times a day hoping for 1 click.

I got so sick of this dynamic that I decided to build a fun, transparent, and dirt-cheap alternative.

Introducing Bidin: Marketing for $1

I built Bidin (https://bidin.lol) — an interactive 365-day calendar marketplace where you can claim any date for $1/day to showcase your product.

Think of it like a modern, gamified Million Dollar Homepage, but built for today's internet.

How it works:

Pick your date: Browse the 365-day interactive calendar.
$1 = 1 Day: Pay $1 for 1 day, $5 for 5 days, or whatever you want.
100% Locked Placement: While your lease is active, nobody can replace or outbid you. Your logo stays permanently in that calendar square.
Live Leaderboard: All your active spots combine to rank your product on the live universal leaderboard.
Zero Friction: Paste your URL, pick your day, and you're live in 30 seconds. No recurring subscription traps.
