The problem it solves
Users may lack the technical expertise to create their own skills, while others have developed useful skills that could benefit a wider audience.
How it makes money
Commission-based model where the platform takes a percentage of each transaction between buyers and sellers of skills.
Skills you need
Knowledge of marketplace dynamics, technical skills for managing the platform, and marketing skills to attract both sellers and buyers.
The market, and why this works now
The rise of low-code platforms has made it easier for users to create custom skills without extensive programming knowledge. A viable first-revenue move is to engage with the Claude user community on dedicated subreddits, where potential sellers can showcase their skills and attract buyers. A key risk is the potential for high customer acquisition costs due to the need for targeted marketing efforts to reach both skill developers and buyers within a niche market.
