Articles were posted on Medium.

I do have a decent following on Medium, but have been inactive these past few months.

Between the two articles I only had 44 total reads. So anyone can do this. Even with a tiny (or no) following.

Thanks for your response! It seems many people are advising us to create single solution digital products.

Nicely done. And it’s a very valuable guide - easy to follow and implement.

You could build on this and add more resources, templates, case studies etc etc and have a premium option too.

Congrats - it shows we can build, ship and sell! Did you have traction on Gumroad before? Discover doesnβ€˜t work without…

Thank, Gunnar.

Yes. I’ve successfully sold courses on Gumroad in the past. Wasn’t aware Discover worked that way.

Yes, I'll second that. You must have a certain amount of sales on Gumroad before they will include you in discover. The category you pick and how much of a split you offer Gumroad will also Impact your likelihood of making a sale that way. For honest accuracy, you might have also mentioned that at minimum Gumroad takes 30% when you make sale via discover instead of your own traffic. Still counts as excellent proof of concept on your product though.

When I placed my course there without having ever sold anything on Gumroad the discovery didnβ€˜t work as their support confirmed. I sold mine on Kajabi beforehand, a platform I truly love.
