Episode 3318

We’ve featured a couple of stories of people using the platform NextDoor, including Ep. 245: Man Sells $1,400 in Coffee to Neighbors with NextDoor App. Then Ep. 342: Environmental Scientist Starts A Cat-Only Pet-sitting Business. NextDoor is not primarily designed as a platform for you to go crazy and sell a bunch of stuff. So if you want to sell there—and, crucially, if you have a product or service (coffee or catsitting…) that might work well there—what do you need to know?

"I've seen a lot of people selling Girl Scout Cookies and other fundraising goods on NextDoor. There are also a lot of one-off sales of people selling the same kinds of stuff they might sell at a yard sale or on Facebook. I'd like to use the app as a primary sales channel. I like the idea of selling locally and it seems like a good way to diversify from other channels. Do you think this will be an effective use of my time? "
