How I Hit $5042 in Revenue on Gumroad Selling Digital Products
A roadmap to take you from $1 to $5042.
If you have been reading my blogs here for a long time, you must know that I sell Notion templates and ebooks on Gumroad.
I've shared my unfiltered journey from $100 to $1k and further. Today, I'm going to share my $5k journey selling Notion templates.
Let's start
How my journey has started
One day, I came across a post on LinkedIn that said he was making $$$ by selling Notion templates. I was surprised someone could make this much money by selling templates.
I installed Notion but can't figure out how and why people use these templates until I figure out there is a duplicate option where you can duplicate the template to your workspace and use that template for that specific thing.
I went to Easlo Gumroad shop and got a freebie. The freebie was so valuable. It has a step-by-step process for how to be a notion creator. I joined the Notion communities and researched what people like and how I can get a wider audience.
How did I get my first sale?
After working for almost 2 weeks, I launched my first template life planner. The response was amazing on the first day itself. I got my first sale after 6 hours of launch without any audience building.
When I say this, some people say that I got lucky, but the thing is, I researched everything and spent time on each platform to taste the market.
If someone says Internet money is easy, don't believe them. It's tougher than real-life money, but if you have the right mindset, everything will come to you.
How do I get the first boost?
Two months after starting, I finally launched my first paid product on Product Hunt. Again, with research and effort, I got featured in their newsletter and hit $100 on my Gumroad shop.
This gave me access to my mailing list, and I already collected about 1800 emails in my list.
So now I have an email list to boost my sales. That was the first month I made $300 by selling the Notion template.
How I hit $1k a month
This was the turning point. Ever since I started, I have always dreamt of hitting $1k, and finally, in December 2023, I achieved it. I didn't do anything different, but my hard work of 7 months got me this.
So this was my story now I've made more than $6k selling Notion templates from both my shops.
Good luck to you on your journey if you've decided to start.
