Turn Your Expertise Into Income

You've spent hours crafting the perfect prompts and workflows. Your bundles get results. Your team loves them. Why not share them with the world and earn money while helping others?

The Promptsy Marketplace lets you monetize your best work. Whether you're a prompt engineer, consultant, or domain expert, the marketplace gives you a platform to sell your prompts and bundles to thousands of users.

How the Marketplace Works

Revenue Split

Promptsy operates on a simple, fair revenue model:

  • 70% to you: You keep the majority of each sale
  • 30% to Promptsy: Covers platform hosting, payment processing, customer support, and ongoing development

Payments are processed through Stripe Connect and deposited directly to your bank account. No minimums, no delays - you get paid as you earn.

What Sells Well?

  • Complete workflows: Multi-step bundles that solve specific problems
  • Niche expertise: Prompts for specialized industries or use cases
  • Time-savers: Automation bundles that replace hours of manual work
  • Quality over quantity: Well-tested, documented prompts with proven results

Step-by-Step Publishing Guide

Step 1: Set Up Stripe Connect

Before you can sell anything, you need to connect your Stripe account:

  • Go to your Promptsy Settings → Marketplace
  • Click "Connect Stripe Account"
  • Complete the Stripe Connect onboarding (takes 5-10 minutes)
  • Provide your business details and bank account information
  • Wait for Stripe approval (usually instant, sometimes 24-48 hours)

Once approved, a green checkmark appears in your settings and you're ready to publish.

Step 2: Prepare Your Listing

Select a prompt or bundle from your library and click the visibility toggle. Choose "Marketplace" to open the Publishing Drawer.

Step 3: Set Your Price

Price your offering based on:

  • Complexity: Simple prompts ($2-$10), Complex bundles ($20-$100+)
  • Value delivered: How much time/money does it save?
  • Competition: Research similar listings
  • Target audience: Individuals vs enterprises

Remember: you can always adjust pricing later based on sales data.

Step 4: Auto-Generated Assets

Click "Generate Assets" and Promptsy automatically creates:

  • README.md: Professional documentation explaining what your listing does, how to use it, and what results to expect
  • Cover Image: Eye-catching 1280×720 image generated by AI (DALL·E) based on your prompt content

You can edit both before publishing if you want to customize them.

Step 5: Choose a License

Select your licensing terms:

  • Personal Use: Buyer can use but not resell or share
  • Commercial Use: Buyer can use in their business
  • Extended: Buyer can modify and use in client projects

Step 6: Preview and Publish

Review your listing preview showing exactly how it will appear to buyers. Check:

  • Title and description are clear and compelling
  • Cover image is relevant and professional
  • README provides sufficient detail
  • Price feels right for the value
  • Tags help buyers discover your listing

Optimizing Your Listings

Write Compelling Titles

Your title is the first thing buyers see. Make it clear and specific:

  • ✅ Good: "Complete Email Marketing Workflow: From Strategy to Send"
  • ❌ Bad: "Code Prompts"
  • ✅ Good: "Python Code Review & Optimization Bundle for Data Engineers"

Descriptions That Convert

Your description should answer:

  • What problem does it solve? Be specific about pain points
  • Who is it for? Define your target audience clearly
  • What's included? List the prompts/steps in your bundle
  • What results can they expect? Set realistic expectations
  • Why are you qualified? Build credibility
