What is Gumroad?

Gumroad is an e-commerce platform that allows creators to sell digital products online like e-books, videos, photos, and many other products directly to their customers.

So I can create a landing page with Gumroad and use their payment gateway to sell some digital product.

This is great because for me, figuring out a technology can be quite complicated.

For example, like creating a website on it and then I have to figure out the payment gateway.

Well,

I might get exhausted to the point of giving up before I can even sell anything.

Let’s move on to the implementation plan.

What is the goal?

I want to focus on collecting customer emails, while also making a little extra income.

I don’t think it’s too much, but it’s a motivation for me to keep doing what I love.

The long-term value of collecting those emails is that I’ll have a list of potential customers who may buy other services from me in the future.
