7 ways your audience can work with someone else
By Emma
A newsletter, a community, a following. Lots of people on CoSell have built one and never quite known what to do with it. Here are seven ways an audience can work with a partner, most of which don't involve handing anyone your list.
CoSell vs Craigslist: what's the difference and which should you use?
By Emma
Craigslist suits defined local deals. CoSell helps you discover uses for what you have. Compare posting, costs, reach and practical examples.
CoSell vs Flippa: selling a digital asset vs discovering what it could become
By Emma
Flippa helps you sell a digital asset. CoSell invites ideas beyond a sale. Compare resources, listing fees, deal tools and possible outcomes.

By Emma
Upwork helps you hire for a defined job. CoSell invites proposals for your resources. Compare fees, payment protection and ways to use both.
Once you start spotting idle things, you can't stop
By Emma
An empty car park on a Sunday. A kitchen asleep until 4pm. A billboard still waiting for its ad. A week of noticing all the things around us that are quietly doing nothing.
The cost of leaving things as they are

Doing nothing with something you own feels free. It rarely is. A look at the quiet costs of idle space, equipment, rights and audiences, and why they tend to grow while nobody's watching.

What doesn't belong on CoSell (and why that's a good thing)
By Emma
Selling a couch for $200? Need a plumber by Thursday? There are better places for that, and we'd rather tell you now than let you wait on the wrong one.
What happens after you post
By Emma
Post, Discover, Propose, Decide, Connect. Five neat words on our homepage. Here's what they look like from the inside, including the part where nothing seems to happen.
Why the "why" matters: how direction changes the proposals you get
By Emma
Two people post the same empty warehouse. One gets storage offers. The other gets a film crew, a pop-up bakery and someone who wants to teach climbing. The difference was one sentence.
Write it for the person who's looking
By Emma
Search on CoSell matches the words in your listing, not what you meant. Here are some best practices.

If you've been meaning to post something and haven't, there's a decent chance the reason is a number.
You don't need to be a company to make a proposal
By Emma
No deck, no logo, no LinkedIn title that ends in "Founder". If you've looked at a listing and thought "I know what I'd do with that", you already have what a proposal needs.
