I made something similar for selling access to GitHub repos but it didn’t take off. People were hesitant to give a new product like mine access to their repos because we hadn’t built up trust that established brands like gumroad have. Makes it really hard for new players to enter this space. Have you seen similar concerns and how do you address them?
- jhartist 3y agoYeah, I wonder about that. My hope is that other platforms’ fees are high enough to motivate creators to switch, and the transition to Easyful is pretty fast for most users, especially if you already have a Stripe account. But I guess we’ll see whether we get any traction!
- lloydatkinson 3y agoIsn’t it possible to allow access to just the repo you’re selling, instead of all of them?
- ecuaflo 3y agoYes people had an issue with just that. Some would sell for thousands, so I can understand being cautious about access.
