ShareTribe Review: How to Build an Online Marketplace on the Sharetribe Platform

Edit: You can try Sharetribe free, here.

Thinking about building a marketplace for your niche, vertical or local community? Do you have a passion…..and a sense of purpose, and want to build a platform of professional peers who share your vision?

A peer to peer marketplace can be an amazing way to get inspired, to build something valuable, viable and enduring, while establishing yourself as an expert in your niche or locality.

Sharetribe is an amazing, under the radar platform for enlightened entrepreneurs who want to create something great.

Gone are the days you need to invest tens of thousands of dollars in proprietary software, or complicated tech or tools, to launch something unique, fun, inspiring and uber appealing to your professional peers, or others who share your sense of passion and purpose in a given idea, topic or niche.

You also don’t need to do it with WordPress, either. While WP is a great way of developing and launching a minimum viable product, project or community, it’s no longer the ONLY game in town for bootstrapping a user generated content community.

Check out some inspiring Sharetribe examples, here.
