As we grow and build Gumroad, our focus is always on our community. No, seriously. That’s not just a thing to say. Without you, we’re just twenty people… typing. So when it comes to what features we implement and what problems we solve, it’s important for us to have as much insight and understanding as we can.
That’s where you come in.
With our new Invites feature, you can help your network of friends and followers get that project out that’s been bouncing around in their brains. As we say on the Invites page, today’s consumer can be today’s creator. We know that a great number of you who are selling with Gumroad first discovered the platform when making a purchase. In fact, in a single day, I bought something on Gumroad, listed and sold my first product, and then applied to join the team.
But we love data. We love it. Knowing more about where new creators are coming from gives us a greater understanding of our growing community. As the ancient proverb goes:
Tell me and I’ll forget.
Show me and I’ll remember.
Put it on a bar graph and I’ll clap and squeal like a mechanical monkey.
So, when you’re logged in, you’ll see a new Invites tab in your settings.
You can invite people to join you on Gumroad in two ways. First, you can enter individual email addresses. They’ll received a personalized email, and you’ll see a list of those you’ve invited. The second way to invite people to Gumroad is to share the link to your invite page directly. On the right side of the frame, you can copy the URL, tweet, or post to Facebook.
Thanks for being a part of Gumroad.
Like we always say, we love hearing your feedback. Let us know what you think of this feature and if you have any questions.
