    Alexis Progress Three 3D Marketplace ecommerce website

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    Just a quick question - why trying to sell via a complex website if you can also easily sell via Gumroad? A website is only worth if you already have lots of fans, where you can finally move outside from 3rd party marketplace to your own. If you sell everything on Gumroad or any other 3rd...
