There was just enough theory to have it all come together but it was really all the practical tips and steps that I found really helpful in this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly useful book for anyone trying to make a successful platform *by P***Ä on Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2019* Each sentence in this book was useful for anyone who wants to start, make successful, make better, or grow an online forum/platform/marketplace. I am running a neighborhood communication platform (nappinaapuri.fi) that is not a marketplace in the sense that people would be making purchases from each other, but this book nailed all the important problems we have faced and are facing, and gave solutions. It starts from the idea and its validation and first version, to all the steps and considerations towards actually scaling and remaining successful. It works as a check list to everyone running a platform: it lists all the important things platforms need (like trust and community) as well as what is needed for the platform to be viable as a business (like market size, competitors, metrics, pricing). It also refers to books and articles about the matter, and gives a lot of interesting facts about current marketplaces and their path towards growth. It gives links to further reading, which is very useful. What the book doesn't do is those parts that I usually skip in current business books: long stories about Pixar or someone's childhood moments, and pages after pages about how everything is about evolution psychology. In this book, I didn't skip a page.The book is based both on writers' personal experiences in starting and struggling with - and finally succeeding - with online marketplaces, as well as to a lot of accumulated knowledge from following the field for years.Highly reccommended! As said, provides a very good check list for starting and running an online marketplace or other social platform. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent, up-to-date advice on building marketplaces *by L***O on Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2019* If you're thinking about starting an online marketplace, buy this book now. It will show you all kinds of strategies, good advice based on real-world experience, things NOT to do, sensible ways to launch quietly (and correct course, if neccesary), before you aim for world dominance. I read the first six chapters of this book as a downloadble free .pdf. that I annotated/marked up on almost every page. I was so impressed I ordered a printed copy so that I could see the rest of what they had to say. The two authors are business school grads who also own a marketplace platform (sharetribe.com) which enables you to quickly build and deploy an online marketplace. (I don't use their excellent platform, having already commited to another.) it's obvious that they have spoken to 100s of their customers who run marketplaces. Plus, they have studied the recent history of marketplaces like craigslist, ebay, and airbnb, ec., at an academic level. (But the book is not written in an academic style.). It's very helpful if you are a solo entrepreneur trying to solve all the problems of marketplaces by yourself. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/103435415-the-lean-marketplace-a-practical-guide-to-building-a-successful](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/103435415-the-lean-marketplace-a-practical-guide-to-building-a-successful) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
