Hello all,

I made my first simple e-commerce site, selling digital books. This site is mostly used to learn all the basics of development, google analytics and Google Ads. I'm using Carrd and Gumroad as the payment processor.

Any feedback would be appreciated

Very very silly of me, apologies. Link updated.
I've only helped a handful of people sell books before but I feel like images of at least some of the books should be "above the fold" otherwise I like the site so far.

Respectfully,

Darrell

Is there a market for these types of books? How do you plan to market your website? Can i purchase only one book and not the whole bundle? These are the questions that popped into my head as I previewed your site.

2 things I saw right away.

1. I don't know where I need to click to buy the books. That buy button with gumroad or whatever on it looks like a ad and not a cta button.

Make it stand out have have something to the tune of "yes I want it" or "buy now" or even just "click here to buy" on it.

2. I clicked it and then I couldn't not find the checkout button. I assume it's below that giant sales letter thingy. Just get rid of it. If I clicked on the buy button I want to buy already.
If you really want to boost sales at that page, add some thing like "only 3 left in stock" or a timer that shows how long the "11 books for 10€ will go".

It's the whole bundle. But I can technically sell them individually.

Its a very niche market, I am learning about ads. So now I am running a simple 5 dollar per day campaign. I'm still at 0.1% of all the knowledge so learning.

Thank you. Trying to check all the 'must have' things. But as always, learning and applying (and repeating x100000000000)

Thank you.

Unfortunately that checkout button is the default Gumroad checkout page. I could consider using another payment platform to make it more direct.

Hi.

In my personal opinion better idea is to redirect directly to payment after clicking "Buy" button. Now you show huge popup with duplicated information from main page. It is little confusing and "Add to cart" button is hard to find If you want show ratings you can add it on main page below books information. Now you have also a lot of "Buy" buttons. Maybe better option is to create some buy section and pin it (floating button)
