A script I wrote for a very prominent creator has been made into a @Youtube #short all thanks to a cold email. I can barely believe what I’m typing, but it’s true. Cold-emailing really works. #buildinpublic
May was my best month on Gumroad by some margin although June’s already off to a flying start with 10 sales today. Whoever needs to hear it: keep going #buildinpublic
Wow! Already ‘sold’ ($0+) more worksheets by the 12th of this month than I did in the whole of April. Much better conversion rate too. No idea why, but I’m grateful. #buildinpublic
Never could have believed I’d make 500+ sales when I listed my first item on @gumroad in Nov ‘22. Here’s to the next 500! #buildinpublic

1000 words written this afternoon on my 1st ever @Medium post. #buildinpublic
1200+ words after 15 minutes of planning and 40 minutes writing is as close as I’ve been to flow for a long time! #buildinpublic #creatorpreneur
A short thread on writing cold emails.

Someone paid me €5 today for a pdf worksheet after 314 total downloads of other worksheets for €0. Bring on the next 314+ #buildinpublic
Just been listening to @apmparker being interviewed on Backstage Careers podcast. Super valuable content for anyone interested in working with a Creator #buildinpublic
Can anyone tell me why this video on my @gumroad page appears blank when the page first loads? The video plays fine, but I’d like potential customers to see the starting image, not a blank screen. Any ideas? @Donbaderr @heyeaslo #buildinpublic Thanks
@gumroad users, do you send out regular emails to your customers? If so, how often? #buildinpublic
At the moment, I’m so delighted when someone downloads one of my products on @gumroad, not only have I not turned off the automatic email I receive for $0 purchases, I haven’t deleted the emails either. Wonder when that novelty will wear off… #buildinpublic
Just been listening to @AliAbdaal talking about the power of sending cold messages. I did just that a month ago, offering my product to a Youtuber. We now have a working relationship and I have three products available for free on @gumroad It works #buildinpublic
