We now have our product created and need a mechanism to get it out into the world at large.

In this Secton we set up our shop so that customers can purchase from us.

eCommerce is a big (very big!) topic area that could take us a lot of time, energy and money. However I’m going to cut to the chase and give you a method to launch your shop in a few hours.

First up we need to get a Gumroad account.

You can do so here: https://gumroad.com/

Gumroad is free to use and super simple.

The trade-off is that as their fee they take 10% of every sale. Chunky!

However, for getting started Gumroad is fine.

Once you are generating revenue you can justify looking at a different payment solution such as building your own eCom functionality on your website.

Right now though we want speed and simplicity. Keep it simple.

Once you’ve set up a free account go ahead and work through the setup checklist. It’s all self-explanatory so I won’t waste your time going through it here.

If you do need help shoot a message in the course chat.

The only hiccup may be payment processor. This is how Gumroad sends you the money from your sales. This depends on where in the world you are based.

You can either give:

• bank details

• Stripe account

• PayPal account

Personally I prefer Stripe but how you get paid is up to you and will depend on what’s available in your country.
