Tips for Choosing a Platform

1. Start with One Platform

Don't spread yourself too thin. Master one platform before expanding to others. Building reviews and reputation takes time.

2. Match Platform to Skills

Choose based on your skills: creative work suits marketplaces, consulting fits time-selling platforms, products need e-commerce.

3. Consider Commission Rates

Higher commission often means more traffic. A 22% fee on a platform with many buyers may beat 10% on a platform with few.

4. Use Multiple Platforms Eventually

Once established, diversify. Use different platforms for different services to maximize reach and reduce dependency.
