Hello all, i am rather new on Makerworld. If this isnt the correct place to post please let me know and i will take the correct steps so i dont break any rules.
I am uploading models on Makerworld for around 50 days now and became an Exclusive uploader 2 weeks ago.
While scrolling through the settings i came across the option to sync my models to Makerworld China.
My question for those that have done it is, Is it worth it? Should i sync my models or sit on Global for the time being and wait to reach 200 Followers / 600 Prints so i can enable my commercial licence?
Also, is the only way to get payed Paypal ,or i can link my bank account somewhere? I am trying to find an option but i am either blind or i simply cant find it.
Syncing with china is not really worth it. But go ahead. You will get points now and then, but unless you log into the china site, it is hard to maintain.
The commercial license is really only useful if you have something worth selling and have a good collection built.
The commercial license only uses PayPal. Exclusive cash outs will go over bank transfer.
My personal opinion, stop trying to capitalize and just have some fun with the things you are making. A few rolls of filament here and there is nice, but you will never be fully compensated for the work put in.
You should niche into something instead of trying to follow trends by making fidget toys and vases.
I also caution against the use of AI. Its very obvious.
Never. I mean never. Never give out your bank account information.
In some circumstances it may be of benefit but I would never use my main bank account. I’d set up a different account at a different bank but you can still get personal information compromised.
Banks don’t offer the same protections as credit cards.
