Nathan Barry’s Lessons Learned Earning $355,759 through Gumroad

  • 'In his well-crafted pitch to get me to consider using Gumroad he ended with, “and the UX is exponentially better than other marketplaces.”'

    If someone tells me their thing is 'exponentially' better than something else, I tend to put them in my 'hype merchants who use words without worrying what they mean' box. Whic isn't a good box.

  • There is a lot of really great info in this post, well done Gumroad.

    My question to Barry would be: Given that multiple packages increased revenue 3x, how much extra work and time did it take to produce the extra materials?

    I've never done anything like that, but I'm imagining it being a lot more time, effort, and money to put together useful supplement material and create video tutorials.

  • Congrats Nathan!

    1 big glaring thing I've found with gumroad is that it doesn't integrate directly with email providers. I think you can hack the functionality with zapier or similar services - but I'm really surprised there are no direct integrations.

  • I'm just starting on my journey with products and Nathan's produced so much content that I can look to for advice. I couldn't imagine the difficulty without having those available.

    Congrats Nathan.
