Distribution layer for Sales/Marketing experts

Get found by buyers who are already searching for what you do

You don't need a 50K Twitter following to sell. You need to show up where Sales / Marketing operators are actively shopping for AI skills — and let them run a live demo with their own input.

The buyer flow

How a stranger becomes a paying buyer

Conversion rate from skill-page-view → paid: ~14% for published Sales/Marketing skills, vs ~2% for unverified Gumroad listings.

Why the demo crushes Gumroad

On Gumroad, buyers gamble on a screenshot. On Skillzip, they paste their real prospect into your skill and watch the system generate output before they pay. Buyer's remorse → near-zero. Refund rate < 2%.

Discovery without ad spend

Our ranking signal favors demo-to-purchase conversion. The skills with the best buyer outcomes climb organically — not the ones whose experts have the loudest Twitter following.

Buyers try before they buy

Every skill ships a free demo playground. Your buyers see exactly what they get — purchase intent up, refund rate down.

Your knowhow stays yours

Demos run with a slim system prompt. The full master playbook + expert notes only unlock after purchase clears.

Keep 88% of every sale

12% take rate, no listing fees, no hidden Stripe markup. One-time, monthly, or both — your call.

FAQ

What you'd ask if I cornered you on a call

How is this different from Gumroad or Substack?+

Two things: (1) every skill ships a free demo, so buyers de-risk their purchase decision and conversion is materially higher. (2) we focus exclusively on Sales/Marketing AI skills — you're not buried under 80,000 unrelated PDFs.

Do I keep ownership of my prompts?+

Yes. You retain 100% of the IP. We sell access to your skill, not the asset itself. You can de-list anytime.

What's the take rate? Any hidden fees?+

12% flat. That's the whole stack — no listing fees, no Stripe markup, no transaction surcharges. Stripe's processing fee (~3%) comes out of our 12%, not yours.

Will my demo prompt leak my full playbook?+

No. Demo prompts are capped at ~300 tokens and run with strict guardrails. The premium content (your full master prompt, examples, edge cases) is locked behind purchase verification.

How fast do I get paid?+

Stripe Express → weekly payouts to your bank. No minimum threshold. We never hold funds.

What if buyers refund?+

30-day refund window for unhappy buyers — but our refund rate is currently <2% because the demo eliminates buyer's remorse. Refunds debit from future earnings, not your bank.
