Gumroad a Great Tool to Sell Digital Products




Weekly Web Tools show

Summary: I just discovered Gumroad and if you are looking for a great way to sell digital or physical products you need to check these guys out. They charge 5%+ .25 per transaction. According to their website: "We don’t charge any additional monthly, hosting, or setup fees. Everything is covered: including file hosting, file downloads, payment processing, payout deposits, customer support, analytics. We even cover dispute fees, which are regularly $15 and above with other payment services. For example, if you sell a digital video for $10, you'll make $9.25 — inclusive of everything." They are all about creating the best experience for the shopper while giving the creator absolute control over the process. One key thing that I like about their service is YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEND THE CUSTOMER TO THEIR WEBSITE TO FINISH THE TRANSACTION - COOL. http://youtu.be/3dVhAyL8-w8 More Gumroad Goodies (http://weeklywebtools.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/gumroad-300x240.png)You can enter your banking information and get paid every other Friday if you have more than $10. Again, this is cool "Set it and forget it" technology. You can easily tie your product into twitter, facebook, email, etc. The other thing I like is they seem to share what is working so you can get great insights into selling your product. There are great analytic (including see where your customers are), and you get ALL of the customer data. After all, they are YOUR customer. Very cool. You can do pre-orders if you want to judge interest in a product. For more information check them out at gumroad.com (http://gumroad.com)
