I'm using Gumtree for payment and distribution, it's worked very well for me.
As for marketing, I've just replied earlier in the thread with a little more detail.
For a site with tutorials on game development, most of your readers will be using adblocking software. Therefore most popular monetization methods are: selling a book, a course or locking off content behind a paywall.
This blog is about all sorts of tech stuff but he sells his book "Game Programming Patterns" (which is very good!) in the side bar.

Ah :) I did initially think it might be Gumroad, since Gumtree shows as a free classified ads site. But then thought Gumtree may have a payment and distribution feature too.
