Bharat Sethi built Poster Gully to help artists, designers and creators start selling on an ecommerce marketplace while they took care of the end-to-end technology, production, logistics, quality control and support.
He chose to create a marketplace to fill a gap that existed in India where artists had no easy way to monetize their talents and, in turn, built a business helping his customers find their customers.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Whether you should focus on buyers or sellers first when launching a marketplace.
- Why they credit growth hacking for their early traction and the exact tactics they used.
- How a campus ambassador program changed the game for them and exactly what’s involved in starting and running an ambassador program successfully.
