Detailed tags on your products can both boost sales on Discover and help your customers filter your profile. By default, Discover is enabled for all your products. You can turn this off on your product edit page under the Share tab by deleting the product category.

You can improve the placement of your products on Gumroad Discover by agreeing to an increased Discover fee. These promotional fees are only charged when a sale occurs after it was found on Discover, but does not apply to any sales made to the product outside of Discover.

In the case of a project with a dark color pallet, the model with materials does not translate well for technical elevations- leaders and dimension lines get lost or are difficult to read over dark materials. To work around this, I then take the model and assign tags to surfaces or entities within groups. By assigning colors or textures to the tag for each surface I can then use lightened grayscale versions of the darker textures. A style is created with the Color by Tag box checked for technical elevations. This allows me to generate black and white or grayscale technical elevations from the same model that I used to show the client a closer representation of the proposed pallet of materials. This process has worked well, but for large models the process of assigning everything to Tags as needed for the technical elevations can be tedious.

I discovered Gumroad in February 2020 while seeking a platform to expand my ebook sales beyond my website. While I had success selling thousands of books on Amazon and other platforms, Gumroad stood out by offering the option to bundle my products, a key reason for choosing this platform.

After three years on Gumroad and generating $20,000 in ebook sales, I'm sharing my experience in this review. I'll discuss how I achieved this and offer insights for anyone interested in earning from digital product sales on Gumroad.

If you're seeking an uncomplicated e-commerce platform without concerns about design, client usability, or yielding a significant portion of profits (as with Amazon), Gumroad could be the ideal solution.

The platform simplifies the process for digital creators to showcase and sell their content. Their user page boldly states, 'Zero to $1 - with Gumroad, anyone can earn their first dollar online. Just start with what you know, experiment, and get paid effortlessly.' A quick scroll down reveals that last week alone, Gumroad's digital entrepreneurs collectively earned $3,447,908.

Initiating your income journey begins with setting up your profile. This involves adding a photo, bio, and username to kickstart your presence. Here's an example of my profile: www.gumroad.com/indialindsey

Dedicate a few minutes to customize your user settings. Choose the category your products belong to; mine fall under Books and Writing. Additionally, add relevant tags to your products, such as marketing, self-publishing, or entrepreneurship. These tags aid Gumroad users in discovering your offerings.3. Payment Information Completion:

The genesis of my first book 'How to Start Your First Business Online' stemmed from numerous inquiries about starting a business. Instead of repeatedly fielding the same questions, I compiled my expertise into an ebook priced at $4.99 on Amazon.

Upon discovering Gumroad, I realized it offered a unique advantage: the ability to deliver ebooks to consumers while retaining access to my customer base for future marketing endeavors. What's more, the platform allowed me to retain a larger portion of the sales revenue.

I sold the first bult of copies to a coaching community I nurtured called Marketing Mayhem. Those in the program received the book for a discount at $29.99 and then on release day, the book sold for $39.99.

Affiliate marketing stands as a pivotal strategy for creators aiming to sell digital products without the upfront costs of advertising. This approach involves individuals, known as affiliates, promoting your products and earning commissions for driving traffic and sales to your offerings. Gumroad simplifies this process by allowing you to allocate a commission ranging from 10% and beyond to your affiliates. The beauty of this approach lies in its cost-effectiveness: you pay nothing until a sale is made, and the commission is deducted directly from the sale and routed to the affiliate.

Gumroad's affiliate program, integrated into its platform, remains a coveted feature for creators. Here's how it works: Every purchaser of your digital product automatically becomes an affiliate. This system incentivizes and empowers your customer base to become advocates for your products, turning them into active promoters. As they bring in more customers, you reward them accordingly, fostering a symbiotic relationship where everyone benefits.

Managing affiliates within Gumroad is straightforward. From your dashboard, adding new affiliates via email is a breeze. Once added, they receive an email detailing how to become an affiliate, initiating their journey to promote and earn commissions for driving sales to your products.

As a marketer and writer, Gumroad has been an invaluable platform for selling knowledge-based content, pioneering this concept in digital marketplaces. In the upcoming year, I'm keen on exploring other avenues like Shopify, Stan Store, Kajabi, or SamCart to further optimize my sales potential through features like cross-selling, upselling, and down selling.
