Why sell on Blender Market?

Written by Matthew Muldoon
There are more ways than ever to distribute your digital products, and each platform has its own pros and cons. So why should you sell on the Blender Market?
1. You're Among Other Blenderheads
We eat, sleep, and bleed 3D. Modeling, visual effects and animation is what we have been doing for years. We are the teams of CG Cookie, Blend Swap and Blenderartists, which are made up of professional developers, seasoned artists and animators, and even a Blender UI design lead. Most of us have been a part of the Blender community for well over a decade. We love this community - and we're not going anywhere.
2. Your Products Get Visibility
Over the past year, we've continued to see our audience expand at a steady rate, seeing a big pickup in our reach when we began to promote your products on CG Cookie and other networks outside of the Market. What does that mean for you? A great Blender Market product often gets featured on our site and social network only to be picked up by BlenderNation, shared on the CG Cookie network, given free advertising on Blenderartists, listed on Blender Guru, featured by 3D Artist Magazine, and before you know it, your product has been in front of thousands of potential users, with very little effort on your part.
3. We Choose Quality Over Quantity
By getting approved for Blender Market, you are securing your spot in an exclusive marketplace. As a creator, it's easy to get lost on over-saturated sites that already sell hundreds of similar items. On Blender Market, quality gets noticed. We personally review each item and feature the best ones in prominent places on the site. Our users know that they are getting quality.
4. You Get to Contribute to Blender Development
How much do we love Blender? A lot. In fact, we built in a custom function that lets you automatically donate a percentage of your sales directly to the Blender Development Fund. This allows us to donate over $500 per month to directly support Blender, which makes our favorite 3D app even better.
5. You Receive Personalized Feedback
One of the biggest benefits of selling your products on the Blender Market is the review process; we just don’t say 'yep' or 'nope'.
If your model or add-on doesn't pass inspection, we'll tell you exactly what needs to be changed and how to improve your chances of successful sales.
6. You're in Good Company
When you surround yourself with great friends, you look even better. The same can be said for Market products! The Blender Market has products from some of the biggest names in the community, so rest assured you will always be surrounded by other great artists, developers, and top quality products.
7. No silly exclusivity
The Blender Market is a great platform to sell on, but it's not the only one! With us, you'll always have the freedom to sell your products through other distributors as well. Selling with us means that you'll get the most exposure possible and reach those customers that may not have found you otherwise. Since we're the main source for selling anything Blender-related, the audience you need is already right here!
