Day 39/39 #100DaysOfNoCode

Shipped my first digital product!

Great learning experience.

Reflection:

🧵

Biggest challenge:

I got stuck on trying to figure out how to get the properties to display on the page without the table. @HainingMax helped.

Create table then open a page from a cell. Anything in the table displays as a property

Databases are what makes @NotionHQ special. You can:

• see a calendar right on the page
• see how items connect in a calendar
• store files
• create tags for filtering

This is just the beginning

Adding a Notion template to Gumroad is as easy as it gets. Once your template is made, grab the link and paste it in the appropriate field in Gumroad where you create a product.

I spent too much time trying to create what was in my head. Classic product challenge. I’m limited by not being a dev, was able to come up with a work around that got the job done.

4/

I didn’t do much discovery like I would have as a product manager. The nice thing about this is it only took me a few hours to create. My hope is that someone will like it and can’t be bothered to do it themselves. The point of my 1st product was to learn Gumroad from A to Z

The power of Gumroad is the power of the Internet - Long Tail Theory. I’m not going for a big win. I want many small, no/low obligation bets that can bring in money… forever or at least for many years.

Thanks for reading. I’ll be sharing my journey in the creator economy. Follow for more. I’ve got six other projects in the pipeline.
