Frequently Asked Questions
Does portfolio size scale linearly with earnings?
Approximately yes within a single platform and niche. Doubling a 1,000-asset portfolio to twice the size typically doubles earnings, assuming consistent quality and keywording.
What is the best platform for a 1,000-asset portfolio?
Best-platform depends on niche more than on portfolio size. The calculator's per-platform breakdown shows which marketplace pays most for a 1,000-asset portfolio in your specific scenario.
