Yo Product Hunt! 👋 I'm excited to share the second edition of The Guide To No Code Marketplaces. This updated version is 50+ pages packed with everything you need to know about building, launching, and scaling a marketplace using no (and even low) code. The best part is that I'm making it completely free. I originally created the guide to share how I built Studiotime in an evening using no code and went on to scale it to become the largest online marketplace for booking music studios (in 35+ countries) so that others could do the same. I saw the benefits of using no code first hand, how marketplaces are uniquely positioned to leverage no code, and that it's possible to use no & low code to build a highly profitable marketplace startup. After 4,500+ downloads, I wanted to create an even better version that takes you through every step from initially thinking through your marketplace idea, understanding the typical marketplace requirements, a framework to use for deciding which no code platform & tools are best, how you can actually build & operate your marketplace using no code, and even provide founder interviews & insights from other successful no code marketplaces. This updated version is 6+ years of experience running Studiotime (successfully acquired in 2021), along with building, operating, and working with probably 75+ other no code marketplaces all packed into one guide. I’m making this updated version of the guide completely free since I want to make it as easy as possible for anyone to start a marketplace. Lastly, I want to thank the 1,300+ marketplace founders from the Everything Marketplaces community that helped contribute and also throughout the editing process. A huge (and very special) thanks also goes out to @lenny_rachitsky @angelatytran @dru_riley @brandonbarros @finlaysonconnor @calebarclay Jake Schonberger, Sameer Singh, Jeff Weinstein, Lizzy Duffy Anderson, and the Future (a16z) team for reviewing and providing invaluable feedback during the creation of this second edition.

Hey, @yoroomie thank you very much for this awesome book. I have already launched one website with no-code tools but was thinking about another project which is an online marketplace but was afraid to go with no-code tools. Thanks!

@yoroomie this is perfect timing for me just starting out with no code and grappling with how to choose which platform for my project this is perhaps the hardest question more so then I imagine the building will be once the decision has been made! I'm heading over right now to grab a copy and thank you for making such an incredible resource free and I hope it helps answer my burning question.
