    These platforms have been featured in various SHS episodes. Each have pros and cons, and most of them specialize in a particular area.

    Etsy is the world’s largest homemade marketplace and ideal to help you get started selling your products today (see episode 6)

     Looking for an easy way to experiment with offering services? Testing out your ideas on Fiverr can help you develop your product or service (see episode 5)

    With the Amazon Associates program you can get paid simply for linking to Amazon.com (see episode 2)

    You can store your products in Amazon’s fulfillment centers, and they will pick, pack, ship, and provide customer service for all of your products. Best of all, FBA can help you scale your business and reach more customers (see episode 19).
