New sellers express frustration that Gumroad doesn't provide organic traffic or help with initial sales, expecting the platform to assist with reach and discoverability.
Hey everyone, After scrolling endless ways to generate income, seeing all sub reddits I finally made decision lets make digital product and sell on Gumroad, as I don't have any other source of income right now. I worked out and made the Notion template for Job tracker OS, which I use myself, made improvements in it and its is pretty good to track the application, schedule interview and much more. I will be honest it took me two week to add features and resolving some issues as I am still not professional in Notion Template. and finally I publish it on Gumroad. Now as everyone does, I keep scrolling and checking analytics to see if I get views on my product. Guess what Gumroad says I need to find my own buyers for first few sell 😭. How I am I going to do that, that's the sole reason I thought gumroad will help me with reach. I am shy person, not have big following to promote it somewhere. This sucks man. Guess now I have to run here and there to sell. Any tips for promoting without spending a ton of money? Let me know Thanks EDIT: Hey everyone, some of them suggested to use Gumroad Affiliate. If anyone willing to be my affiliate we could take 50-50. Thanks for all wonderful suggestions
