Is there any statistics available what's the typical markup earnings from shops.
I.e.
Number of shops earning >1000 USD per month
Number of shops earning >500 USD per month
Number of shops earning >100 USD per month
Number of shops earning >50 USD per month
Number of shops earning <50 USD per month
In the many discussions I see in the forums many point out that they are mainly doing that for fun, as a hobby ....
Beyond this group are also a lot of people contributing a lot of input in the forums. Also a big number which do manage their shops permanently (and are also top ranked)
I think it would be interesting for all of us:
- to which group do we belong
- how important is our voice when discussing changes or new features
- how marketing can be done or supported by Shapeways to reach higher volume
