I’m a new seller and I have 0 visibility on the platform. It’s hard enough even to connect through the forums. There’s a lot of supply with a lack of marketplace features, such as lack of communication possibility about the actual demand.
I’m keeping my project running still. Even uploaded some plugins to GitHub for free. Github too gives me no way to introduce them to people.
At this point I’m almost considering creating a Reddit again just to tell people I’m alive. Because the (very few) channels that allow advertisement (or tolerate it to some point) at least pulled people to some of my older free stuff.
Man, with ModDB I basically launched my project and if there’s life in space they know all about it by now. Somehow that was so much easier to be on.
I’m a guy trying to turn fulltime work into paid fulltime work (kinda fair right), but given the success I had on ModDB I thought most of getting publicity was to just deliver good products. Seeing the state of the marketplace, I thought it should be easy to get noticed with modular, quality code. So I started. Published my stuff, made a nice logo, website and all, registered for business. Then BAM brick wall. Because people literally don’t know I’m out there. It… is… so… crowded… and so impossible for people to even find stuff they are looking for.
Well I don’t know how to deal with that right now.
