Selling Assets - Guidance? Middle-man?

hmm_rock

I've been really interested in selling assets in the Unreal/ Unity market place for about a year now, but whenever I start looking into the logistics and technical side of things (setting up the demo scene, file organization, continued support after release) I get overwhelmed and the up front labor costs seem to outweigh the monetary benefit, partially because it's hard to tell how much money you could pull in from a pack. There's also the legal side of things, taxes, etc. 

I've searched the forum and dipped my toes in the process enough to have a gras, but I'd really love to talk to someone 1 on 1 about the experience.

I'd also be interested in knowing if there are any "middle-man" services/ freelance employers who take care of the business/marketing side of things and allow the artist to focus on making the assets in exchange for a % of the profits.

You could start your own store with gumroad. They do direct deposit of revenues to your bank account. You can sell whatever you want the way you want :-P

I guess that would alleviate a lot of the in-engine setup and whatnot, but I imagine that take quite a bit more self promotion and marketing. Definitely worth looking into and maybe a good place for me to start, thanks
