Multi-Channel Architecture
Diversifying across channels reduces single-platform risk.
Channel Diversification Strategy
Stage 1: Single Channel Mastery
- Focus on one platform until $1,000+/month stable
- Learn platform algorithms and buyer behavior
- Build review base and operational templates
Stage 2: Complementary Channel
- Add channel with similar buyer demographics
- Adapt listings (do not copy-paste)
- Split time 70/30 between primary and secondary
Stage 3: Portfolio Approach
- Maintain 3-4 active channels
- Each channel serves different purpose
- Centralize operations where possible
