We Build Resellers a Free Website — Here’s Exactly What You Get (and What the Catch Is)

If you flip furniture — or consoles, or appliances, or anything else — on Facebook Marketplace, your whole business lives on rented land. One shadow-flag, one policy change, one week where the algorithm buries your listings, and your income dips with nobody to email about it. I've written before about fighting listing decay with relisting, but the longer-term fix is simpler: own one channel yourself.

That's why we give every reseller who finishes a MARKIT demo a real business website, built for you, free. Here's exactly how it works, including the part where I tell you what it costs to keep online — because "free website" pitches that hide the catch are exactly the internet garbage I don't want to add to.

What the Free Website Actually Is

After your demo, the Gifts tab in MARKIT unlocks four gifts. The fourth is a business website — the kind we price at $800 when we build it as a one-off.

You answer a short questionnaire inside the app: your business name, what you sell, the area you serve, how you want to sound. Our build system takes it from there — sites build automatically in about a minute, and the live link lands in your inbox. You get written copy for your business, imagery, an inventory page, a contact form, and a privacy page. It's a real website, not a link-in-bio page.

If your business changes, you don't file a support ticket. Update your questionnaire answers and the site rebuilds automatically.

Your MARKIT Listings Post Straight to It

This is the part that makes the site useful instead of decorative. Once your site is live, the MARKIT desktop app adds your website as a posting target right next to Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and OfferUp. List a dresser once, and it can go to the marketplaces and your own site.

Posts to your own site go live instantly — it's your site, there's no review queue. Your site's inventory stays in sync with what you actually have active in MARKIT, so you're never selling a couch online that walked out the door yesterday.

Messages From Your Site Land in Your MARKIT Inbox

When a buyer fills out the contact form on your site, that message shows up as a conversation in the same MARKIT inbox as your marketplace messages, and you get an email notice. No separate dashboard to remember to check. A buyer from your website and a buyer from Facebook look the same to your workflow.

What's Free and What Isn't

The build is free: the questionnaire, the copy, the imagery, the rebuilds when you change your answers. That's the $800 piece, and finishing a demo is the only price on it.

Keeping the site online is a hosting subscription at $150/month. That includes your custom domain — we register it and connect it for you, so you never touch DNS settings. You manage the subscription yourself from the billing portal, including cancelling.

I'll be straight about the business model: we build the site free because we're betting that once your listings are flowing to a channel you own, you'll want to keep it. That's the whole trick. There isn't another one.

How to Claim Yours

1. Book a demo at markits.dev — it's a quick 1-on-1 walkthrough of the product.

2. Finish the demo. All four gifts unlock in the app's Gifts tab — the website is one of them; here's the full rundown of the other three.

3. Open the Business Website gift and answer the questionnaire.

4. Watch your inbox for your live link.

If you're already reselling every week, you already have the inventory and the buyers. The website just gives them a place to find you that no algorithm can take away.
