The program, beyond the headline
The headline is simple: sell a Skill, keep 70%. The program around that headline is what makes the number real. There are no listing fees, which means your first upload costs nothing but the ten minutes it takes to fill the form. There are no monthly charges, which means an experiment that fails costs nothing. There is no exclusivity, which means the Skills you publish here remain yours to publish anywhere else. And there is no approval interview — every account in good standing can upload, and the review that follows judges the listing, not the person.
The 30% the platform keeps is not a tax on your success; it is the cost of the machinery that makes sales possible: hosting and instant delivery, payment processing, the human review that keeps the catalog trustworthy, refund protection that never asks you to negotiate with buyers, and the support operation that answers your customers' questions. Most marketplaces take more and disclose less; the split, the clawback rules and the payout windows are published on this page precisely so you can do the math before you commit an hour.
The math, worked
Say you list a Skill at $9 and it sells forty copies in a month. Gross revenue: $360. Your 70%: $252, credited to your wallet sale by sale, in real time, visible in the ledger with each order attached. The platform's $108 covers its side. Now stack the invite override: if three of your buyers came through an affiliate's link, that affiliate earns 10% of your sales from the platform's share — you still see your full $252. Now add your own affiliate income: every creator you invite contributes $5 to you at signup and 10% of their sales to you forever, again from the platform's side. Creators who both sell and invite effectively earn more than 70% of their own catalog — without a single change to what their buyers pay.
Refunds are the one flow that moves money backward, and the rules are symmetrical: a refunded sale claws back your commission automatically. On the $9 example, a refund deducts $6.30 from your balance. If your balance is temporarily lower than the clawback, the deficit carries forward against future earnings rather than being chased. This is why the refund window (72 hours, fewer than three installs) exists in its exact shape — generous enough to protect buyers, tight enough that a clawback is always small and rare.
What actually sells
The catalog's best sellers share a shape: one repeatable job, done completely. A Skill that produces a launch-ready landing page for a mobile app outsells a general "website generator". A Skill that produces a specific 15-slide investor deck structure outsells "presentation helper". Buyers search for their exact job; listings that name the job in the title and prove it in the first preview image convert at multiples of the average.
The strongest signals from our catalog, by category: Web Skills sell when the output is a complete, editable HTML page — not a wireframe. Video Skills sell when the storyboard is shot-by-shot and production-ready. Slides Skills sell when the outline includes speaker notes and a fill-in structure. Image Skills sell on consistency — a brand system that looks the same on the tenth generation as the first. In every category, the second-buyer behavior matters most: Skills whose first buyers install twice (that is, come back and use it again) compound through curation, while one-hit installs plateau.
Pricing strategy for new creators
Three viable strategies, honest about trade-offs. Anchor low ($4–$9): maximize install velocity and curation signals; works when your Skill is a gateway to a series. Match the work ($14–$29): for Skills that save professionals real hours — this is the sweet spot where quality and volume meet, and where most five-figure creators in the catalog live. Premium ($49+): only defensible with proof — a preview so complete that the value is self-evident, a changelog showing shipping history, and ideally a track record from earlier listings.
Whatever you choose, your first price is a hypothesis, not an identity. Repricing is free and instant from the member center, and it applies to new purchases only — existing owners are never charged again. Watch two numbers for the first month: detail-page views (curation and thumbnails drive these) and view-to-install conversion (title, preview and price drive these). Fix the weak one, not both at once.
The quality bar (what review checks)
Submissions are reviewed within 24–48 hours against a published checklist: does the output match the description, in the promised format? Is the original prompt included? Do previews show real output? Is the category right? Most rejections are formatting and expectation mismatches, not quality ceilings — and every rejection comes with specific reasons and an invitation to resubmit. The one rule with no exceptions: the listing must show its original prompt. Transparency is the marketplace's trust engine, and it applies to every listing equally, including the editors' own.
Payouts, clawbacks and the ledger
Earnings land in your wallet in real time; nothing waits for a settlement cycle. Withdraw any amount of $10 or more: requests are reviewed within 24 hours and settled within 7, and a rejected request returns to your balance in full with the reason attached. The commission ledger is your audit trail — every sale, bonus, override, refund clawback and withdrawal, itemized with the event that caused it. If a number in the ledger ever puzzles you, the support team will walk through the exact chain of events that produced it.
Growing your sales after launch
Launch week is the beginning, not the peak. The practices that move the needle afterward, in observed order of impact: ship versions — a Skill with a living changelog keeps its detail page alive in curation and gives past buyers a reason to reinstall; mind your previews — the first preview image is your storefront, and testing a clearer one is the cheapest conversion fix in the catalog; work your network — your own invite link turns every colleague and community member into a $5-and-10% relationship, at zero cost to them; answer custom requests — the request pipeline is a direct line to buyers telling you what to build, and delivered requests can become listings with standard commission. And the meta-practice underneath all of them: keep the promise the listing makes. The catalog rewards honesty with the only metric that compounds — repeat buyers.
