Good news, you do not need to know what that means in order to make a <b>new shop</b>:

Whether blog or social media&#8212;you provide immense value to your followers for free.
<br/>
<br/>
<b>But could you get paid doing what you love?</b>
<br/>
<br/>
One way is to sell digital downloads. This sort of business has a low barrier of entry and options to keep upstart costs low by selling your digital products on an existing marketplace.
<br/>
<br/>
The problem is&#8212; each time you make a sale on a marketplace, you will pay a sales commission (often in the range of 15-40%)!
<br/>
<br/>
For example, let's say you made a $20 sale on a marketplace that takes a 30% sales commission. In this case, the marketplace would take $6 and leave you $14.
<br/>

</center>
<br/>
On-the-other-hand your commission free shop at <b>Make Post Sell</b> will yield $19.12 after <a href="https://stripe.com/pricing" target="_blank">payment processing</a> on a $20 sale!

May I speak to the boss?
</span>
<br/>
<br/>
Per sale commissions hurt profits, especially when compounded yearly.
<br/>
<br/>
Here's a <a target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/138fW3wlNowTv09nKeIe_TZrWsLIHVoD7PdlI2HXGmLs/copy?usp=sharing">spreadsheet tool</a> to break down the numbers. You may enter information to get an estimate regarding just how much it pays to be the boss of your own shop.

<b>Hey there!</b>
<br/>
<br/>
I'm Russell, <span class="avoid-wrap">founder & creator of</span> <b class="avoid-wrap">Make Post Sell</b>.
<br/>
<br/>
One of my goals is to build a platform for individuals to operate sales online for as cheap as possible.
<br/>
<br/>
I enjoy helping people and small business so I give away the service at the entry level, but I keep a careful eye on operating expenses to make sure all our shops stay online.
<br/>
<br/>
I built <b class="avoid-wrap">Make Post Sell</b> the old fashion way using traditional server side logic and industry standard Internet Protocols.
<br/>
<br/>
I consider the service fit for production with an architecture ready for a exponential growth. If any of this sounds interesting or if you want to talk shop, please reach out!
