today's online tutorial I'll be telling
you exactly how you can create your own
products on gumroad and exactly how you
should customize your profile get your
first followers and make your first
sales get your payouts and actually how
you can set up your first email blast
this is a 2023 tutorial so without
further Ado let's Jump Right In so let's
start by creating our first product so
when you head over to the dashboard this
is what you're going to be presented
with if you haven't actually created a
product before this is what you're going
to see now what we're going to want to
do is not do this stuff of course we're
going to want to create our first
product so essentially this what this is
what the screen that we're presented
with now there are different types of
products that you can actually create
but if you're a digital Creator like
myself it's likely that you're going to
be creating either a digital product a
course or tutorial an ebook or maybe a
membership now you need to make sure
that you pick the right one here because
it's going to actually help gumroad to
be able to categorize your product and
then when they categorize your product
they can actually put it in the right
section so for example for this one what
I'm actually going to be doing is I'm
going to be able to be making myself an
ebook now essentially what this ebook is
is going to be is this ebook is going to
be an email marketing guide okay now as
you guys can see right here I'm going to
set the price of this product at free
now when it comes to the price of this
product you can actually set it for free
or you can set it at a variable price a
variable price is simply where someone
can simply pay as much as they want to
they can even take it for free or they
can pay ten dollars or a hundred dollars
however much they think it's worth if
you do want to switch it to a certain
amount for example if you're in me like
in the UK and you want to earn for
example 10 pounds for every single one
just switch it right there and every
country's currency will be converted so
for me because of course the majority of
my customers and people that interact on
my channel are from the US what I'm
going to do is I'm going to set it at
nine dollars a pricing tip that I
usually use if you want something to be
thirty dollars just usually set it at 29
or 27 that's something that is really
commonly done especially in the online
digital marketing space I'm not sure why
or what the psychology is behind it but
essentially if there is a 50 a month
membership people usually don't touch 50
they usually charge 47 or 49. it's
something to do with the psychology of
the numbers either way this is a pretty
cheap email marketing guide so I'm just
going to be putting it for 19 or 17
there we go and then now that I've
clicked ebook we're then going to okay
so now we're going to click next and
we're going to go ahead to customize
this product so now we need to write our
description okay and of course we're
going to need to have our URL so what
I'm going to put for the URL because
this is pretty simple I'm going to be
putting out as you guys can see right
there this is going to be my class that
I'm going to be able to use on my custom
URL that I'm going to be able to do so
essentially what we're going to now need
is we're now going to need to write the
description add the cover image add the
thumbnail and add the product info if
you're a complete beginner and you don't
really know exactly how all this stuff
does that's what this tutorial is for
and I'm going to tell you exactly how
you can do everything so for the product
essentially what you want to do is you
want to write an overview of exactly
what this product is going to contain
you're going to want to outline every
single piece of the product and you're
going to outline exactly why you should
buy this product so you're going to want
to have two parts number one some bullet
points of what the product contains and
number two some copy of as to why you
should buy this product now for me
personally I already have the outline of
this right here so essentially what I'm
going to do is I'm just simply going to
copy these and I'm just going to paste
these in this right there so you guys
can see I'm just going to copy this and
this is from chat TBT which I used in a
previous video and I'm going to paste
this right here now essentially what I
want to do is I want to format this so
it actually looks right so I'm going to
click toggle bullet point list and
that'll actually make everything look a
lot better now essentially what I want
to do as well is let me actually just
undo this because this just looks a bit
wild I'm going to put write the first
sentence and it's going to be what
you'll get
what you'll get inside and then this is
where I'm going to want to put the
bullet points of course I'm going to
want to make the name a little bit
better as well I'm going to want to make
it
um the I'm going to call it the best
thing guide for beginners beginners 2023
and as you guys can see right there that
is something that looks a lot better now
on the right hand side you can also see
a preview of this image and if you click
this button right here you can actually
preview exactly what your products will
look like once it's finalized so what
we're going to do is we're going to put
what you'll get inside right here and
then I'm going to add this as some
bullet points so essentially go I'm just
going over the chat GPT and then I'm now
going to go over to this tab and I'm
just going to add this as the bullet
points okay so I'm just going to add
this just like that right there and I'm
just going to keep going down and I'm
just going to do this for the entire
product so I'm just going to keep doing
this and I'm going to go and I'm going
to keep going down so since this is
chapter two I'm just gonna just go back
here and then I'm gonna go chapter two
and then I'm just going to scroll down
building an email list and then
um I'm just going to keep going down and
essentially what I'm doing is I'm
showing people what they're going to be
getting in the product so of course
right here I just want to click this and
then when I click bold the reason I want
to click bold on this and this is
because these are subheadings now when
you look at the preview let's go ahead
and click that you guys can see that so
far this actually looks really good okay
it shows you what you'll get inside it
shows you the different chapters and of
course I haven't actually managed to
finish this yet so let's go back to
making the product I'm going to go ahead
and format this so essentially all I'm
going to do is make the bullet points
look a lot better and then all I'm going
to do is add bulbs at every single
chapter you guys can see right now that
this is what it looks like this is what
I've created I've actually organized
everything and essentially I decided not
to put these chapters in bold because on
the preview you can see that if we click
it it actually does look pretty alright
so you guys can see what you'll get
inside yada yada yada yada yada and then
of course I want to add some copy now
I'm gonna add some copy and I'm gonna
put here I'm gonna put um why do you
need this guide okay and I'm gonna put
this in bold because this is something
that I want them to read Because
essentially this right here is what
people are going to be glossing over and
essentially what I'm going to do as well
is I'm going to bring this down because
when you're organizing a product the
information that people get inside
they're going to gloss over this stuff
okay they're not going to read every
single bullet point what they're going
to want to see is the main copy so what
I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead
and use chat gbt for this the reason I
want to use chat GPT is because me
personally I'm not great at writing and
then this guide is for beginners okay
and I've chat TPT at this stage is
currently paid and you need to pay to
use it I would recommend using some of
the other AI tools online that can help
you to write your copy or I would look
at other different
products in the space so for example go
onto the Discover page then go to
whatever category it is that you're in
for me it's email marketing as you guys
can see I went into business and money
marketing the sales then I scrolled down
when I clicked on email right there and
I decided to look at what my competitors
do because that is of course going to
make me be able to see exactly how I can
design my products and exactly what kind
of copy what kind of writing I should be
using so let's go back over to here back
over to chat gbt and then what I'm going
to do is I'm going to put can you write
me I'm gonna ask chat GPT to write me a
200 word paragraph on why people should
buy this easy marketing guide I've
written this all I need to do now is I
simply just wait for chai TPT to Output
the response and then I'll use this to
put it in my response so now that we
have this response I made sure to keep
it not too long 200 words is about the
speed spot I'm going to go ahead and
copy this go back over to gumroad then
what I'm going to do that's the wrong
tab I'm gonna go back over to this and
I'm gonna put this right here now you
might be thinking should I leave it like
this no you don't want to leave it like
this what you want to go ahead and do is
you want to go ahead and split this up
sentence by send sentence the reason you
want to do this is you just want to make
sure that it isn't too hard to read and
sentence by sentence actually allows
people to read it a lot more easier as
you guys can see right here spacing out
definitely makes it a lot more readable
so you want to space it out as much as
possible and of course you guys can see
right there that is exactly what it's
going to be so it then says exactly what
you'll get inside and if we go on to the
preview page you'll see exactly how this
is looking so you can see why do you
need this guide what you'll get inside
and then of course it actually looks
pretty well and if you want to read this
it says if you're looking to boost your
email marketing guide skills and take
your business to the next level then
investing in our beginner's guide to
email marketing is the perfect choice
quick tip for chat TBT if you are using
this don't forget to include as much
detail as possible in this specific area
because if you do it actually allows
chat TPT to craft a better response so
you guys can see that right here the
content and the writing is actually done
and all I need to do now is of course
add the call to action and of course I
need to essentially add the
summary so for the summary I'm gonna put
you'll get 32 pages of email marketing
marketing knowledge
there we go
and then of course as you guys can see
right there
um this is what I was talking about
before if you want people to pay
anything that they want you can set them
at a custom amount so for example let's
say I wanted it to be 17 I'd simply
leave this unchecked but if I wanted it
to be more than 17 I would take this box
then I would say that the minimum amount
is going to be selling to 17 but I would
suggest that people pay 20 okay this
allows people from different I guess you
could say income levels to purchase the
product and leave what they think is a
very decent amount so this one I guess
you are open to earning a lot more money
but you have basically a minimum price
that you're going to accept Okay and
you'll be surprised sometimes people do
pay more than what you offer so um down
here is variations okay and this is
where you can add different variations
of the products of course you can limit
product sales maybe you only want 10 of
these to be sold and that means that of
course this product can be sold out you
can also allow customers to download
more you can allow them to sell sell a
number um of more on your page so
essentially your people will be able to
see how much you've sold also a license
key this is usually for software as you
guys can see right here so if you want a
product ID that's a license key so once
all of that's done now comes the most
trickiest part which is of course the
images so of course as you guys can see
there are two main images that you're
going to be needed okay and then what
you're going to need is you're going to
need a cover image for the product which
is right here so this is the cover image
right here then you're going to need a
thumbnail image so this is 600 by 600
and that is going to be this image right
here so 600x6 image is this image that
you see right here and then of course
we're going to need to design that now
remember if you're a beginner and you
have no design knowledge of course I'm
telling guys exactly how to do this
we're going to want to go ahead and do
is you're going to want to go ahead and
go to uh now canva is great because it
actually allows you to design stuff with
no further knowledge at all so
essentially what we're going to want to
do is we're going to want to get
ourselves a template from canva and then
customize that to our liking and then
we're going to use that and upload that
and then of course we're going to want
to do the same with the 600 by 600 so
when you're on this right here make sure
you take a note of these numbers 1280 by
720 because that's what you're going to
need and then 600 by 600 because that is
what you're going to need at all now
remember this is the email marketing
guide for beginners 2023 since my
channel is a red and black theme I'll be
choosing red and black for this guide
and let me go overhead to canva and find
some templates and customize them and
then come back and upload do what you
want to go ahead and do is once you're
on canva and you've signed in I'm not
currently on canva Pro I'm on the free
method but what you can do is you can go
over to the right hand side right here
and you guys can see this button that
says custom size we're going to want to
do click that button then of course go
back to this area and you guys can see
it's 600 by 600 so I'm gonna type in
right here 600 by 600 now I'm going to
go click and create new design now that
that is completely done you guys can see
that canva has actually picked out a
variety of things that we can easily use
okay now all I need to do is I need to
go and scroll on the left and see which
would be good for an email marketing
guide okay so if I search templates I
can put let's say a guide okay and these
are ones that are going to be 600 by 600
now I can pick any of these what I want
and I can put a free guide right here
that one seems like it's too too much
this one seems really good so I'm going
to go ahead and I'm going to pick this
one okay so now that we've clicked this
one I'm just going to click this and I'm
going to go back so now that we've got
this I'm going to put steps to start
your okay um no we're just going to
delete this I know but how to start
um no in fact
the best email marketing
guide
2023 okay now
in fact let's just not put that we want
to keep this really simple so let me
just uh delete this actually I'm going
to go ahead and delete this email
marketing guide 2023 there we go and I'm
going to go ahead and put the finance
Value Guide right there so you can put
your ad to whatever your Twitter is
whatever you want people to call you and
of course you can add a picture of
yourself
um right there now this actually looks
really really nice I actually really
like this
um so yeah once this is done all you
need to do now is you simply need to
export this so of course what I'm going
to go ahead and do is I'm gonna go ahead
and customize this so I'm going to go
ahead and put the finance
uh Finance value guy like that and I'm
gonna go ahead and and stretch this out
so that looks right there we go business
advice then I'll put Finance
um for here you can actually put
anything
um I'm just going to put the finance
value guy again just because I don't
know what to put and I'm not trying to
do this too much of course like I said I
can change the colors of this but I
chose this one just because I thought it
looks cool
um I could change this if I wanted to um
I could go up here and I could simply
make this red if I wanted to like that
email marketing guide but I don't think
that looks that good at all so I'm just
going to keep this color right here now
that's done all I need to do now is
simply save this export it and then um
we can actually use this so click file
then I'm going to go ahead and click
download and of course as you guys can
see right here uh save it as a PNG so
I'm gonna go ahead and do this now to do
again is we need to go ahead and do the
other image now so let's actually click
off this tab since we're done with that
then let's go ahead and do the width
which is one two eight seventy and then
the height which is 720. let's go ahead
and click create a new design
so now this is going to be the image
that is going to be at this part right
here this top image right here that's
what we're working on right now so let's
go ahead okay and let's think what is
going to be here so let's look at some
other people's products okay so let's
open three products and see exactly what
people have okay so I have this product
which is just very simple we've got this
one which is just a better email on
design and this one here which is 54
email captioning templates this one's
really really nice I think this is a
really Custom Design okay
um essentially a really good tip here
would be to actually have
um elements of your product in here so
that people could get a sneak peek to as
what they're buying uh it's definitely
something that is really good so if you
can actually do that and you know
Photoshop that is going to be something
that you can add and that's going to be
a lot better so essentially um let's go
back to canva
um and essentially what we need to do
now that's just the cover for the book
so essentially now all we need to do
right here is uh we want to choose
something that was very similar to what
we had last time so essentially whatever
color we choose here we want to make
sure that it's also purple as well so
essentially I'm going to go ahead and
find something that is already purple or
find something that looks like it's
going to be a guide so this says digital
marketing this looks really nice
actually
um I could use this
um and I could put in fact the design it
doesn't actually look it doesn't match
up too much um I need to go ahead and
pick something that's sort of
matches The Branding you don't want to
have things
that are too off brand you want them
both to be looking quite similar as you
remember this is the image that we have
right here so whatever you want here you
want it to match these kind of 3D images
so if you could get something similar to
that that would actually look really
good and purple is what we're after and
a very big nice Sans serif title is all
we're after so
um we just have this here
um that one doesn't look that bad
actually
um that one actually looks nice I'm just
going to scroll some more until I find
one and then I'll update you guys back
typed in guide and I think I found one
right here that actually looks pretty
well
um the reason I've chose this one is
because this one actually looks really
nice and I can actually change the color
of these images so let me go ahead put
this purple for the background I will
actually put the background to in fact I
need to put the background to white but
with here I'm going to change this first
to purple so let me go ahead and put
this to purple then uh for the
background I'm gonna put it to White
um you guys are going to see when a
second then for this text right here I'm
gonna also put this to Black there we go
or blue and then there should be some
text underneath I think it's white so uh
yeah I think that looks really right
here so instead of putting online I'm
gonna put email if this text editor was
working properly uh let me just do this
do email
there we go
um and then beginner's guide there we go
so now that that's done as you guys can
see that's simply done in a very very
quick manner all I've had to do was
adjust these colors so now all I need to
do now is simply download this again uh
let me just go ahead and click file
download right there and then of course
just click save as PNG and then that is
going to be good now that that's done
all I'm going to do now is upload both
these images and I'm going to show you
what it'll show you that you click
computer files right here I've uploaded
this image right here and I've also
uploaded this image right here so this
appears in the gun mode library now you
guys can see that that is completely
done and if we go over to this as you
guys can see right here if I click the
preview button let me go ahead and click
the preview button you guys can see that
currently at the top this is exactly
what you're going to see and it looks
pretty pretty professional if you're me
and of course you guys can see that with
the description it actually looks pretty
good now of course my username isn't
isn't done there and my profile picture
isn't done so essentially all I'm going
to do now is save and continue now
that's save as you guys can see this is
the beta editor I'm not exactly sure I
don't want to try to a beta one um yeah
this is exactly where we want to be you
guys can see on the right hand side this
is exactly how things are I'm guessing
that the beta content editor is exactly
a little bit confusing I'm guessing
somewhere you can upload files here but
essentially what I'm going to do is I'm
just going to turn that off then I'm
just going to upload the file right here
of course as you guys can see or I can
redirect to a URL so simply just upload
your files like that so I'm just going
to upload the file that I have I've
clicked upload on the PDF that I did
actually have so now that that is saved
now everything should be looking good so
now I click save and continue now that
that looks good of course as you guys
can see right here shipping information
that's not required nothing under that
stuff is required right here you don't
need um you know any of this stuff
essentially what you can do right here
is you can change where it says start
reading of course if it's a different
guide you can put like start
um start whatever I would just leave
this right here because of course it's
an ebook that text is custom but of
course you can just you know put
download or you can just change that
button but I'll just leave it as it is
so of course as you guys see right there
um now that that's done pretty much
don't you don't really need to you know
add any all of these details all you
need to do is Click publish and continue
and of course now that that is
completely done you guys can see exactly
how it works so this is a now a
published product and now of course
people can go ahead and buy this and of
course you can see this on your gumroad
profile and of course if you go back to
your products you just click your
products in your account you guys can
see that right there this is a published
product I've actually not sold any of
this yet but if I go ahead and click on
this you guys can see exactly what it
looks like and of course I can go ahead
of this and I can go ahead to the page
right here now my profile I haven't
actually done that right yet but this
was a good guide on how you can actually
create products very very quickly and
you guys can actually see how people can
buy it exactly how this works when
people are buying this so of course you
can see it says 32 pages of your
marketing knowledge the size the length
four pages and of course it says I want
this right there so if you enjoyed this
tutorial don't leave a like and I'll see
you guys next one
