You're numerical analysis is not wrong, but the implication that GumRoad is overrated is incorrect. There is nothing wrong with a platform like Gumroad only having a small percentage of very successful users. Gumroad itself is no magic bullet that makes you money - that depends on you as the user to make a good product and market it properly to get sales. Gumroad is just a platform.
You mentioned eBay as an example. I bet 99% of ebay users have made less than $100 selling on eBay, but eBay is still a huge successful platform.
Same for GumRoad I'm sure.
- jdthedisciple 4y agoI see what you're saying, perhaps it was only overrated compared to my expectations given their front page marketing. Do you have personal experience with Gumroad to share? That would be interesting.
- leros 4y agoI pay for a few software licenses through Gumroad. The people on the other end are successful small businesses.
