I don’t know anything about these marketplaces, I have not even herd of these marketplaces. I do not want to give a hasty judgement, however, I believe there is no point in using marketplaces that are not very popular yet. If you want to make money, you should use the popular platform because these platforms have huge organic traffic and a lot of customers. Here are some of my suggestions.

OpenSea: If you are a digital artist, a photographer, an illustrator, or a painter, you can upload your artwork/photograph on OpenSea, mint your work as an NFT and sell your art/photograph as an NFT. Yes, OpenSea is very competitive, but the open marketplace also has a lot of buyers.

Etsy: If you can make products like candles, soaps, clothing items, jewelries, purse, bags, or any other handicraft items, start selling on Etsy. Etsy has a huge traffic and generate millions of USD in sales every month. Etsy also has low fees.
