Description

---

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
The narration audio and slide visuals were produced using AI tools (Claude Code, ChatGPT, and speech synthesis).
Gumroad's fee page says "10%." What actually lands in your account is closer to 15% gone - and if a sale comes through Gumroad's own Discover marketplace instead of your own link, it's 30%. This course starts there: the real math, with real numbers, before you list anything.
Then it stops being theory. Using a fictional case - a small manufacturing company's quoting-time playbook - the course walks through building a real Gumroad listing from nothing: writing the copy with AI, setting the cover and price, choosing license terms, and publishing it to see exactly what a buyer sees.
From there: pricing psychology in USD, Pay-What-You-Want and bundles, getting listed on Discover, setting up an affiliate program, and templating the whole process so a second and third product take a fraction of the time the first one did. The course closes with a plain-language framework for the tax and money-handling questions any seller should ask in their own country - not one country's rules, because the audience isn't one country.
By the end, you'll have the fee math memorized, a real listing built the same way the demo built one, and a first-week plan for actually publishing your own product.
Who this course is for

---

Creators who already sell digital products somewhere (their own site, a Discord, Etsy, anywhere) and want to understand what Gumroad specifically would cost them
Anyone who has a Gumroad account but hasn't listed anything yet, and wants a real walkthrough instead of guessing at the settings
Sellers who want a repeatable, AI-assisted process for listing more than one product, not a one-off
