"Gumroad Makes It Easy for the Independent Creator"
What do you like best about Gumroad?

With Gumroad I've been able to "set it and forget it." The interaction was very easy to navigate--I posted my books, set the price, and sent out a link to customers. There are tons of other features as well. And I like the fact that there are various ways to negotiate your relationship with Gumroad depending upon your level of sales.

What do you dislike about Gumroad?

Outside of the tech-based creator economy, more people have heard of ebook publishing platforms than they've heard of Gumroad, so I had a few customers who had trouble finding their way to the site (even with a link). I'm not thrilled with the tax reporting--it feels like an afterthought.

What problems is Gumroad solving and how is that benefiting you?

Gumroad taught me how to upload videos successfully. Their support docs are excellent--easy to read and applicable across platforms. The platform is excellent for scaling your operations from teeny-tiny (me) to significantly larger (while still being a small business).

"Easy for beginners to adapt and start making money asap"
What do you like best about Gumroad?

I like the interface for gummroad. It makes creating the products I want to sell really easy. I just launched my first free product before my paid one and it was easy as pie!

What do you dislike about Gumroad?

I wish their profile page had more options for customization. I want a section to add more than just a bio- maybe an intro video, some socials, more pics, things like that.

What problems is Gumroad solving and how is that benefiting you?

I finally found a platform that doesn't charge me until I earn. As a newbie at ecommerce, I was super excited to finally find a platform that takes 10% of what you earn (initially).

"The Best Place for a Sales Page"
What do you like best about Gumroad?

The price. They will not charge you unless you make a profit from your sales. I highly recommend this site as opposed to Click Funnels and Samcart. This works best.

What do you dislike about Gumroad?

Honestly, I just signed up, and so far, I do not see any negatives regarding the site. It is easy to set up; I have yet to have any hiccups on the website so far.

What problems is Gumroad solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have uploaded a handful of videos that I have for sale. I just started and signed up for the site and have not made any sales as of yet, but it seems like a great place to sell anything.

"Makes Digital Sales More Accessible to New Creators"
What do you like best about Gumroad?

The thing that I most appreciate about Gumroad is how easy the platform makes it to get a product out into the world without the hurdles of first having to have a website, set up an online store, or pay costly software fees. I also appreciate that using Gumroad lets me keep most of my profits for myself.

What do you dislike about Gumroad?

I know this sounds picky, but I wish the style of the "Buy" button that is embedded on my website could be customized with a WYSIWYG editor instead of me having to know how to write/edit CSS in order to change the appearance. The default white button doesn't stand out at all against the white background of my website, but I haven't changed it yet because it's not easy for me to do so. One other issue that I sometimes experience is when customers input the wrong email address when going through the payment process and I receive an angry email from them saying they never got their digital product. I wish there was some way for customers to view their order and see/fix their own mistake before immediately disputing the purchase (which is what they sometimes do).

What problems is Gumroad solving and how is that benefiting you?

Gumroad lets me market my ebooks directly to my email subscribers and site visitors without having to go through the complex process of publishing an ebook on Amazon. I'm also able to price my books higher and keep a greater percentage of the profit than I would selling on Amazon.

"Great for book sales"
What do you like best about Gumroad?

I have used Gumroad (and a few others) to sell books and courses and Gumroad has by far been the simplest to use. You are up and running super fast and integration with your own website could not be simpler.

What do you dislike about Gumroad?

No real dislikes at the level I was using it for. I have sold a couple of thousand dollars worth of digital product through the site but only ever one or two products at a time so I never had to manage a lot of items.

What problems is Gumroad solving and how is that benefiting you?

I found it a remarkably simple and professional looking method to sell digital products through my existing website.

"Gumroad: Great for Flexible Payment Options & Easy Product Creation"
What do you like best about Gumroad?

I use Gumroad because of it's pay-what-you-want and variable pricing options. I could not find another option that offered this feature. I also really love how easy it is to integrate Gumroad into my website. It's SUPER easy to use and I think the end-user-experience for my customers is pretty seamless as well.

What do you dislike about Gumroad?

I wish I could customize the email receipts and product delivery more. Gumroad give you the option of delivering files to customers or to redirect them to a link. If I could change one thing it would be more formatting and customization of the email confirmation.

What problems is Gumroad solving and how is that benefiting you?

We sell online classes in low volume and with pay-what-you-want pricing and I needed a low-cost, flexible delivery system. Gumroad offer EXACTLY that. It is low-cost to integrate into my suite of software tools we use, and makes it so easy and simple to launch new products. I'm using it more and more these days for class sign-ups both for asynchronous and synchronous classes.
