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

  1. Work out the commission and support cost before listing, especially for lifetime deals.
  2. Check eligibility: some marketplaces want existing sales or a stable, finished product.
  3. Keep your own store or site as the main home; the marketplace is one channel among several.
