Sell what people want to know.

Work news before it's announced. Sports picks. Tips and tricks. Access codes. Post a teaser, lock the rest, and keep half of every sale.

  • Post as yourself
  • Or under your alias
  • Share the link anywhere

How it works.

Post a teaser. Lock the rest. People pay to see it.

  1. Write the teaser and the secret

    Type it, or hold to talk. The teaser is free. The rest stays hidden.

  2. Pick a price

    Set what it costs. Post under your name or your alias.

  3. Share the link. They pay to see it.

    Post it anywhere. Buyers open it in their browser, no app needed, and can pass it on.

Watch a secret sell.

Write it, price it, share it. A friend pays to see it, and you get half.

Step 1 of 5

Write the secret

Type what you know, plus a free teaser that makes people curious.

Two ways to sell.

Sell what you know: work news, sports picks, tips and tricks. Or sell access to something you have.

Sell a secret

Write the secret and a teaser. Set a price. People pay to unlock it.

  • Work news before it's announced: who's leaving, who gets the promotion
  • Sports picks: who to start in fantasy, your bet for Sunday
  • Tips and tricks: how-tos and shortcuts that save time
  • The teaser is free. The secret is behind gray bars.
  • Fake secrets get refunded
  • Share the link anywhere

Sell access

Got a code people want? Lock it behind a price and share the link.

  • Promo codes, presale codes, invite links, beta codes, download links
  • Buyers tap Get the code and see it right away
  • Codes that don't work get refunded

Post as you, or as your alias.

Turn on Post anonymously and buyers see a name like Quiet Otter 41 instead of yours.

One alias, all yours

You get one alias and keep it. It is picked at random, so nobody can work out who you are from it.

  • Buyers see your alias, never your name
  • Your ratings and your rank still count
  • If the link gets passed around, nothing on it proves it was you
  • The weekly board lists everyone by alias

Every sale builds your rep.

Cash from a friend is one sale. A sale on Middleman also earns you a rating, and ratings bring buyers who have never met you. Top sharers climb the weekly board and charge more. Sellers with lots of low stars sink. See how scores work.

Top sharers, every week

The board starts fresh every Monday and shows aliases, not names. Climb it, then raise your price.

Buyers rate what they got

Only people who paid can vote.

Your score sells for you

Strangers see it before they pay. It's why they trust you.

Why not just take cash?

Your friends would pay you either way. Middleman is how people who don't know you pay too.

Cash from a friend

  • One sale, then it's over
  • No rating, so no one else hears about you
  • Only people who already know you buy

Sold on Middleman

  • Every buyer rates you, and it adds up
  • After 10 ratings, strangers see your score before they pay
  • A good score puts you on the board, so you can charge more

How you get paid.

The app is free. You set the price. You get half of every sale.

  1. A friend pays $20

    They pay on the link page with a card or Apple Pay.

  2. You get exactly half

    $10.00 is yours. Middleman keeps $10.00.

  3. Held 3 days, then sent to your bank

    We hold it in case of a report. Then Stripe pays it out to your bank.

Fun, not harmful.

Middleman is for useful secrets, good picks, and real codes. It is not for hurting people.

Not allowed

  • Threats of any kind
  • Blackmail, like "pay or I post this"
  • Other people's addresses, phone numbers, or health info
  • Nudes or sexual content
  • Hate
  • Codes that are not yours to share

We don't read every post. Buyers rate what they unlock, and sellers with lots of low stars lose trust. We step in when someone reports a post.

Report is always there

Every link page has a Report button. Anyone can use it, with or without an account. An alias hides you from buyers, not from us.

Money waits for reports

Sellers get paid after a 3 day hold. If there is an open report, the money stays put until we look at it. Fake secrets and dead codes get refunded.

Adults only

You must be 18 or older and live in the US to use Middleman.

Questions.

Something else? Email support@themiddleman.app.

Does the buyer need the app?

No. They get a link. It opens a web page where they can pay with a card or Apple Pay and see the secret or the code right there.

What can I sell?

Two things. A secret: everyone sees a short teaser, and only buyers see the rest. Think work news before it's announced, like an org change or who's leaving, sports picks like who to start in fantasy, or tips and tricks like a shortcut that saves an hour. Or access: a promo code, a presale code, an invite link, a beta code, or a download link, locked until someone pays.

How much do I get?

Half the price, every time. If you set $20, you get $10.00 and Middleman gets $10.00. Card fees come out of our half, not yours.

When do I get paid?

We hold the money for 3 days in case someone reports a problem. After that, Stripe sends it to your bank. You set up your bank once, in the Wallet tab.

Can I post without my name on it?

Yes. Turn on Post anonymously and buyers see your alias, like Quiet Otter 41, instead of your name. You keep the same alias every time. Your ratings and your rank still count, and nothing on the link proves it was you if it gets passed around.

What if a secret is fake or a code does not work?

The buyer can tap Report on the page. While a report is open, the money stays on hold. If the secret was fake or the code did not work, the buyer gets a refund and the seller gets nothing for that sale.

How do ratings work?

After someone pays, they answer one question: was it worth the price? They pick 1 to 5 stars. Only buyers can rate, and each buyer gets one vote per seller. Bigger sales count more: a rating on a $100 sale counts 10 times one on a $1 sale. Your score shows up after 10 different buyers rate you, and buyers see it before they pay. If your score drops under 3 stars, you lose trust: buyers see a warning and you drop off the board. The weekly board starts fresh every Monday and lists everyone by alias. The full math is on the How scores work page.

Why sell here instead of taking cash from a friend?

Cash from a friend is one sale and nobody else hears about it. On Middleman, every buyer rates you. After 10 buyers rate you, people who don't know you see your score before they pay, and a good score puts you on the weekly board. That's how you sell to people outside your own circle, and charge more over time.

What am I not allowed to post?

Threats, blackmail, other people's private info like addresses or phone numbers, sexual content, and hate. Codes must be yours to share. We don't read every post. We look into reports and payment disputes, and we take down posts that break the rules.

Who can use Middleman?

People 18 and older in the United States. You can sell from any phone or computer with a web browser. Anyone in the US with the link can pay to see.

How do I delete my account?

In the app, open Settings and tap Delete account. Your posts come down, your alias is wiped, and so are your words. We keep basic payment records because the law requires it.

Got something people want? Sell it.

Open Middleman in your browser, on your phone or computer. Post as yourself or under your alias. Your buyers just need the link.
