31 Jan WiredExperience: Why use a marketplace to sell your courses

Posted at 14:22h in Uncategorized by Emanuele Nasato

Selling your own courses is never easy, especially if you are a small school and you don’t know really well how to move around in the marketing world and in the digital one, more specifically. Administrative matters to face are many and often difficult to solve, they can require large losses of time and money.

In an increasingly digital world, selling your courses online is one of the possible solutions to increase profits. Advantages are many and with the right platform, the required effort could be less excessive than imagined.

Online sales methods

Among the platforms to sell online there are e-commerce and marketplace. The aim of both is the sale of a product. In particular,

An e-commerce is an online store in which the owner sells their products directly and in which only two parties are involved: who sells and who purchases.
A marketplace, on the other hand, is an online platform but with many sellers and shops gathered in one single place. In this case the parties involved are 3, because in addition to who sells and buys, we also have the owner of the website that manages the marketplace. A marketplace can be horizontal, if it sells products from different categories, or vertical if it specialises in the sale of one single category.

Why it is useful to use a marketplace

If you consider using e-commerce, costs can be high starting from its creation up to its management. We are talking about an online store open 24/7 in which the client feels free to choose between the different products and get the information they need on the product page. Thanks to the net, the brand can have a bigger competitive advantage as it is visible to a higher number of potential clients.

If, on the other hand, you prefer to opt for a marketplace, the main advantage that you will have is that the administrative and payments management are carried out by the owners of the marketplace. The seller only needs to post the articles or services and collect registrations. In addition, marketplaces usually have higher visibility on search engines so it’s easier to appear in the first search positions.

Commissions to be paid to the owner of the platform are often lower than a possible expense to open your own e-commerce.
