Publish any dog gone, freaking, tooting thing you want in literally five minutes. Yeah, yeah, of course that assumes you’ve already got something put together. But, if you were to go home right now, take that ten page paper you did in high school or college or whatever, go to File and Save As PDF, pop on over to gumroad.com, make an account, which literally takes no time, upload that PDF, fill in the title, a short description, put a price, hit Publish.

Within five minutes you can now send that link to someone and have free credit card purchasing of your PDF. Now I’m not saying go sell your old papers from high school or whatever, I’m just saying that you can literally zip up or just straight up upload anything that you legally have the right to do and sell to Gumroad and you have a store, you’re able to sell. You are now a business person. Crazy!
If you’ve ever written an e-book or a report or have a big, gigantic spread-sheet that helps out or templates or images or audio or videos, songs. it doesn’t matter. Anything you can put up on there, slap a price on there, add that link to your website, your Facebook page, your Twitter, your Instagram, your email signature, the back of your car, doesn’t matter. And as soon as someone clicks over there they’ve got a nice, beautiful looking checkout page, to the thing, the digital goods that you have.
I don’t work for Gumroad. They don’t give me anything to say this. I’m just amazed that, they do take a small, I think it’s five percent, and then a quarter for every transaction so don’t try to sell something for thirty cents. But, I mean, when you compare that to signing up for an authorize.net credit card processing gateway, which, don’t ever freaking do. Oh my God, I hate that company. I hate, hate, hate.
It’s just amazing at how easy it is to put stuff up there, valuable content, and be able to get compensated for it with such little processing effort. While you sleep you could be selling stuff. It’s a thing of dreams. I almost exclusively use them for quite a bit of my PDF’s and books and spreadsheets and data and stuff like that. It’s just too easy. Give it a shot
If you don’t got something to sell yet make something. Make something and then sell it. Everybody could use a little extra gumption and skrilla and cheese and whatever the kids are calling it these days. Bill paying stuff. The fuel of the wallet, you know, dollars. Gumroad.com. Do it!
