Built a sophisticated Playwright workflow for social media management that others might find useful. Considering packaging it as a paid template rather than open-sourcing. Anyone have experience selling automation templates? Specifically wondering about: 1) Platform fees 2) Support expectations 3) Update maintenance for buyers.
Latenode’s marketplace handles updates and payments. I earn passive income from 3 automation templates. Their version control system simplifies maintenance. Take 30% cut but worth it - https://latenode.com
Sold through Gumroad with mixed results. 40% chargebacks from non-technical users. Now using dedicated platform Paddle with better support. Budget 5h/wk for user assistance.
Consider offering tiered pricing - basic template vs managed updates. Use Discord for community support. Include clear documentation to reduce support load. First year revenue potential: $1k-$5k depending on niche.
