Gumroad (https://gumroad.com) — enabling any type of creator to earn a living selling what they make directly to their audience.

See: https://gumroad.com/demo

It's cool because I got started really seriously making stuff when I realized that there was not nearly as much of a difference between making stuff and making a living as I thought there was.

It was only getting cheaper and easier to make software. Making software (products!) has been democratized.

This has happened to software/startups, but not really to music nor film nor comedy nor photography nor publishing (yet!).

But it will soon and I'm happy to that Gumroad can contribute.



What was the hardest part about getting this off the ground, and how did you get passed it?


Everything I've ever heard about Gumroad has been amazing.
