Stand Up the Register and Get Paid

Nobody walks into a cash register. They walk into a store, grab what they need, and the register handles the money. Gumroad is the register. You bring the buyer to the counter with their wallet already out, and the machine collects.

That one sentence is the whole reason the setup is fast. You spent four lessons doing the hard part: finding the pain, shipping the page, putting a fair number on it. What’s left is plumbing. Account, cover, three paragraphs, a link, done in about ten minutes.

The register has rules baked into it that nobody warns you about. Cuts that come off the top before you see a dollar. A tax man waiting at the end of the year. A discovery feature that sounds like free traffic and won’t move until you’ve proven you can sell without it. Get those straight now and the brick on the counter actually pays.
