Brand My Mac sticker advertising, $8.4K in 30 days: 20 spots sold
Brand My Mac sells advertising spots on a MacBook Pro and its accessories through live auctions. Its $8.4K in the last 30 days is verified through the payment provider's API by TrustMRR (Stripe), as of September 30, 2026.
What it actually sells
Brand My Mac sells sticker advertising spots across a MacBook Pro, including its lid, interior, charger, cable, and mouse. The site says, “Twenty spots across the lid, the inside and the accessories — priced by size and visibility.”
Winning logos are produced as die-cut vinyl stickers and carried with the MacBook. Sponsors also receive a linked listing on the campaign page.
How it charges
Bids require a 20% deposit with a minimum of 10 €, paid by card. The highest bid when the auction ends receives the spot; winners pay the remainder, while deposits from losing bids return automatically.
Month by month

The campaign page presents brands as appearing on social media and in real-world public spaces. Winning brands are visible in the owner's photos and vlogs, and the site publicly displays a leaderboard of brands on the Mac.
The founder lists X / Twitter as the growth channels for Brand My Mac.
What stands out
The auction received 150 bids, all 20 sticker spots were taken, and the campaign raised 7 955 €. The fundraising goal was passed at 315%.
Every sponsor is manually approved before appearing on the MacBook, and the owner keeps final approval over what appears on the machine.

Where it sits in the data
Brand My Mac's $8.4K in the last 30 days is higher than 93% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Marketing” category (897 projects) it is higher than 90% (category median $198). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
My view is that this needs real work. The buyer is a brand seeking visibility through online content and physical advertising. Distribution would depend on the owner's audience, campaign pages, photos, vlogs, and public brand leaderboard attracting bids.
The hard parts are producing and placing the stickers correctly, coordinating auctions and payments, screening every sponsor, and handling the support required around physical delivery. Competition would come from other advertising inventory, auction platforms, and direct brand campaigns.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
The clearest lesson is to pair a physical product with a visible campaign record: bid activity, sold inventory, raised funds, sponsor approval, and public proof of participating brands.
