Turn Any Gumroad Product Into a Money-Making Machine

How I turned other people’s Gumroad products into passive income

In this video, I'm going to show you how to take this automation and turn any different referral product into a revenue stream.

  • Today, we're going to use Apify to scrape out all of the different top-selling products on Gumroad.

  • Then, we're going to grab a data set of all the products.

  • We're going to add our own branded links.

  • Then, we're going to use the automation to go through and research the product, give us all sorts of customer reviews.

Here’s what the automation will do:

  1. It's going to create a custom image, and then it's going to upload that image for us.

  2. It's going to create one promotional article.

  3. It's going to create a second promotional article.

  4. And it's also going to create a viral video script

  5. and have 11 Labs turn that into an audio that it'll upload to Google Drive.

And then all we have to do is edit the articles and the video that we've put together to promote those top-selling products on Gumroad and turn those into revenue streams for ourselves.

A Personal Income Stream Plan Using Medium and Gumroad

Howdy everyone.

Here's a quick video on an income stream plan that I'm going to do in the future.

So, I wanted to record this so that I have my plan and I can think it through and I can start into it over time.

So, I'll use my publication, Digital Currency Traders, with 5.7K followers now and my other profile on Medium, which is AltSeason Co-Pilot and has almost, well, 468 followers now.

And I'm going to start doing things to promote my Gumroad store, which has done nothing in sales at all.

But before I do that, I want to go through and study all of the other Gumroad products in the marketplace. And because I can become an affiliate for any of them, then it's a really good idea for me to use Apify and to look for Gumroad tools that will help me scrape Gumroad.

Two Secret Tools to Discover Hot Gumroad Products

And I found two tools. One will let me scrape by category and give me the top 100. And the other will let me scrape by a custom search profile that I can do by drilling down over on Gumroad itself.

So, let's try these two. I'll take this query and I'll bring it back into here and run it and see what happens. So, there's a free trial on that one.

I'm not subscribed, so I don't know how that'll work. So, let's give this one a whirl and see what happens. And save and start.

How a Simple $0.25 Trial Turns Into a Passive Income System

So there we go. It cost 25 cents of my free $5.

And as a reminder, if I refer people to Apify, I get 20% commission for 3 months, then 30% recurring commission. That's pretty good.

I'll start mentioning it with my branded link ;-).

All right. The next step is to export the data in a table that we can do something with.

And what we end up with is a huge list of the name, the seller's avatar, the project avatar, the description, and everything right down to the URL that we need to grab and change so that we can turn this into our own referral link.

How to Brand and Track Every Referral Link for Profit

All I have to do is put my referral ID at the end of each of their product links. And that's what I need to create articles to start selling their products. So, I can take all of their product names and I can do a simple search and replace.

And in a moment, I have all of my referral links set up here. But what I want to do is one more step, insert a column to the right. What I want to do is I want to take each of these links and I may have to do this manually.

The next part of the process is manual where you have to go to each of the offerings and go to the website and say, is this something that you want to actually do? If it is, then you can grab the name of it, lifetime consultations. I'm just doing this as an example.

I'm going to bring it over to my branded link generator. I paste that link in up at the top and it gives me this option here where now I can put in the name of whatever the product is. So, I have a branded link and I can save this link now.

Save this. And I can bring this link back to my spreadsheet. So, I'm going to put the branded links in here.

And it's these branded links that I'm going to share on my articles. Once I've gone through this process to select which of these I want to promote and write articles about, then the easy part starts. Once we have our data set complete and we're ready to go.

Fully Automating Research, Writing, and Video Creation

We have our branded links set up for everything, then we can use this automation to pull in our branded links from the Google Sheets.

Make automation by author

Perplexity will do the research on the product. More product research.

It will create an image. We upload the image. Upload the image to Google Drive.

Then we'll upload the image to Medium. Then we're going to write a couple different article styles so that we can publish about this article, this product that we just did the research for. So right now I have this set up to go to Learn AI for or to Profit, but this can be changed—will be changed to a different publication.

Then I also have the GPTs write a viral script, a problem-solving teaching article, writes a title for it, puts it out to a different article, has 11 Labs change it into a voice recording, and uploads that to Google Drive, and then puts everything into Google Sheets.

Get Ready to Publish and Profit Over and Over Again

Then we have all of these assets that have been created about the product that we are promoting from our Gumroad shops.

So now I can go through and I can immediately create a whole bunch of articles about all of these Gumroad shops and over time I can get these published. Then I can see if I make any sales.

As I make sales, I'm building relationships with these different product creators and these are the people who are the movers and shakers.

So if I can create a relationship with them after having made sales for them, it's probable that they might have some tips for me.

I might learn something from them and maybe in the future it'll really help me grow my own Gumroad store.

The Step-by-Step Formula for Turning Gumroad Into Cash

So, the steps are you join Apify for free and you get your $5 limit. You go in, you grab this Gumroad scraper, you run it and grab your spreadsheet of stuff, pull it into a spreadsheet, and then you make all of your custom links, your branded links by using short.io and your domain name.

Then the final step is to use this automation to write several different articles and video scripts and even record the audio for the video script. Not only do you end up with a couple articles that you can publish into different places, but you've also got the audio that you can use for creating your videos.

Replace Social Media Grind With Relationship-Building

And this transforms and changes the work that you end up doing. You focus on relationships. You focus on building your business rather than working on the content and the social media sharing to run your business.

You can start quickly building the right kind of content that's going to make sales and help you build relationships that'll help you build your own business.

Real Examples of People Making Money From Just One Article

And don't just take my word for it. Here's some examples. Recently from some of our members who's earned $180 from one blog post on our publication by following a process similar to what we promote.

Here's another with an author who's earned $700 from one article that he published on our publication. Plus, he also earned an additional $300 from the information product that he was selling there. These are fantastic examples of how you can also do the same thing and earn money online.

Thanks for being here. Stay safe everyone and here's to your success.
