Gumroad Tipping: The Best Feature
I’ve made $ from it
Recently Gumroad has launched a new feature called Tipping.
For those who don’t know Gumroad, it’s a marketplace for writers and creators to sell their digital products and services. I won’t go deep about it, but I want to highlight what Gumroad recently has done for its creators.
So this new tipping feature on Gumroad allows creators to get tips from their customers (if they want to tip.)
How does this work? So when a customer is going to buy your product (ebook or course) on Gumroad, there will be an option to tip before they make the payment. Something like this:
However, it’s completely optional for them whether they want to tip you or not. But I think if they love your content or if your product seems good to them, then they’ll happily tip you.
For example, I recently got a tip from one of my customers, and guess what? It’s a 20% tip. That’s a huge win. This also shows that they’re kind.
