Are digital marketplaces useful for you?

[LaveraChristoffers]

I've been looking at different platforms for digital products and resources lately. Came across Sellvia Mall, Whop and AppSumo, and noticed they all offer quite different things, from guides and AI tools to software. I've never really used these kinds of platforms. Like... there are some products about productivity with AI. I kinda suspicious about trying to buy or not. Can i resell it or it doesn't worth of trying
Do you actually find these platforms useful for your online projects, or is it better to find and buy everything separately?

Short answer: useful for tools, less so for "productivity guides".

AppSumo is the one worth a look if you need software. Lifetime deals on genuine SaaS tools can save a Ltd company real money, and there's a 60-day refund window. Check how long the vendor has traded and whether the roadmap is active, because plenty of deal-only products vanish within a year. Whop is mostly courses and communities, very mixed quality.

On reselling: read the licence before buying anything. Most AI productivity packs are personal-use only. Sellvia Mall sells products with resale rights, but it's a crowded market and margins are thin unless you add your own angle. If you do resell digital goods from the UK, remember the Consumer Contracts Regulations (clear terms, download waiver for the 14-day cancellation right) and VAT once you pass £90k turnover.

This thread covers the own-product versus resell question well: Is it better to start with your own product or sell products that already exist?
