11 Ways to Sell Your Tool Plans

If you're selling your tool plans, you've received a "buy now" link that you can post anywhere. In addition, you can start a discussion in the Tool Plans for Sale subforum, with details on your tool plans for sale. You can edit or add to that post over time.

You can promote your tool plans by posting either that "buy now" link (for example, if someone has already said that they want to buy your plans), or a link to your dedicated discussion (if you want to link to more details about your plans), plus a 3D binder graphic of your tools. You can find your "Buy now" links and graphics here: https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/...6079#post65887.

While it's important to be tactful when posting links to your plans for sale, there are numerous legitimate opportunities to do so. Here are 11 places you can post your link to promote your tool plans. Got any more? Post them in this thread.

Thought of this one yesterday: add a video to your For Sale post. You can show yourself using the tool that can be built from your plans. This is a huge credibility booster. You can make a YouTube video, then just copy-paste the url right into your post, and the video will embed in the post.
