How To Build Marketplace Customer Portals with Glide

what's going on Friends welcome back to the fourth video in our six-part series on how to build a Marketplace without code now in the previous free videos we start off by going over how to build your landing page in webflow so that you can start promoting your Marketplace platform to potential customers and to

even get them to express interest by filling out a contact form then we moved on to the second tool which is ear table that allows us to build a backend or a database for our Marketplace which means that as you start getting more inquiries as you start getting more application from Talent you're actually building it

on top of a system that will allow you to scale and be organized and then in the last video we also went over how to use make.com to automate your marketplace workflows now up until this point this is really all you need in order to get started the next tool that I'm going to be introducing in this

series is called Glide and it's a tool that we're going to be able to use to build user portals but before we get into it I do want to be clear that at this point there's no need to build any user portals if you don't really have users the idea behind using these tools

is to allow you to do what is already working at a larger scale it's also important to keep in mind uh that as you bring more tools into the mix your burn rate will increase so you want to have a certain degree of certainty that your Marketplace business is going to work and that you are going to be able to

generate enough money from it in order to run this site sustainably now what are we going to be covering in today's video first of all we're going to be having a quick little look at Glide I'll explain what it is then I'm going to show you specifically how I'm using it on the Unicorn Factory I'm going to show
