Recently, Buildin launched a brand-new Creator Marketplace on its official website — a curated hub for high-quality paywalled content. This platform makes it easier for creators to get discovered, gain visibility, and earn revenue from their work.
From day one, Buildin has aimed to be more than just a note-taking app.
Six months ago, we rolled out the Paid Subscription feature, allowing users to set any page as paid content. Simply share a link, and your work becomes monetizable.
Think of it as:
🧠 The editing power of Notion + 💰 The monetization model of Gumroad.

Now, we’re taking it a step further with the Buildin Creator Marketplace — helping creators increase visibility, grow income, and lower the barrier to monetization.
Why Build a Creator Marketplace?
After speaking with dozens of creators, we identified a common issue:
High-quality content often disappears into the void — no discovery, no long-tail traffic, no visibility.
Even when using other platforms to publish digital products, creators often face these problems:
- Fragmented tools: Create in Notion, sell on Gumroad, track data in Stripe… it’s an operational mess.
- High costs: Most platforms take a significant cut or require monthly fees — intimidating for many creators.
That’s why we built the Creator Marketplace — to enable creators to create and earn all in one place.
What Is “Paid Subscription” on Buildin?
In Buildin, any page you create can be turned into a paywalled product. It only takes a few steps:
- Click “Share” in the upper right corner of your page
- Toggle on “Paid Subscription”
- Set your price and choose whether to enable a free preview
- Copy the public share link
Once the link is shared — via X (Twitter), Threads, or private messages — your audience must pay to unlock the full content.
You can also control whether viewers can copy or download the content, helping protect your work from unauthorized use.
How to Get Featured on the Marketplace?
Once your paid content is ready, fill out this form. Our team will review and publish it to the Creator Marketplace within 5 business days.
Your listing will include:
- Cover image and title
- Author name
- Direct link to your paywalled content
- Pricing information
This means more visibility — both for your existing audience and for new users discovering your work organically.
Who Should Use Buildin to Monetize Content?
If you share any kind of valuable knowledge, Buildin is for you. Whether you’re into writing, design, education, AI tools, data analysis, or coding — Buildin supports it all.

- Prompt collections and AI tutorials
- Downloadable assets (PDFs, image packs, code files)
The Buildin editor supports text, images, video, code blocks, and databases — giving you full creative freedom to build your digital products.
