Ep. 043 Preselling a Book on Gumroad and Making Some Sales

April 29, 2020

Listen on: [Apple Podcasts]  [Google Play]  [Stitcher]  [Spotify]  [Overcast]

I recently started writing a book about virtual team games and I’m planning on donating all the profits to COVID-19 efforts.

I listed the book for pre-order on Gumroad, created a book cover in 90 seconds, and got a few sales within a few hours.

Here’s how (and why) I picked Gumroad over Amazon KDP for this new book.
