A place to sell
Marketplaces
Marketplaces bring buyers who are ready to pay, in exchange for a share of each sale. Lifetime deal sites add a burst of revenue and a long tail of support obligations.
How to use marketplaces
- Work out the commission and support cost before listing, especially for lifetime deals.
- Check eligibility: some marketplaces want existing sales or a stable, finished product.
- Keep your own store or site as the main home; the marketplace is one channel among several.
