Selling on Gum Road — Start your Business Journey
Gum Road is an online e-commerce portal that helps creators sell their products such as eBooks, Photographs, artwork, memberships, courses etc. They take a small cut of every sale. There are no monthly fees or expensive setup fees. It is worth trying if you have never tried it before.
Go from zero to 1
When you go to gumroad.com, the web site proudly tells you to “Go from zero to 1” by selling what you know. The process is quite simple. You open an account, add your products, and start selling. They also add your site to “Discover” area of Gum Road so others can discover your products. But there is a catch. You must make initial $10 in sales first. Once you reach $10 in sales, they review your information and process your share. You cannot purchase your own products or ask family members to purchase them to for you to get to $10.

Gum Road will help you chart a new path without requiring either tech expertise or business knowledge. “You just gotta take what you know and sell it.”
