This is a great platform to make money if you have graphic designing skills, digital marketing skills and some money to run ads. The platform is very competitive, so selling is very difficult. Just because you can use it for free does not mean making money is easy? You will have to work really hard to drive sales. If you already have a lot of followers on your social pages or a website/blog with huge traffic, you can share your products on your social pages and websites and generate sales. I use this platform but I am not making a lot of money.
